My recovery from surgery is gaining ground quickly. I believe now is the time to start the work that God has called me to. Effective immediately, my wife and I will be holding informal studies on the gift of prophecy, the office of prophet, and what it means to be called into the prophetic ministry. If you’ve ever wondered about this topic, please drop us a line here or send me a message on Facebook (under Tim Arview). I look forward to hearing from you.

I had my gall bladder removed yesterday. While I was anxious going into surgery, my wife reminded me that things would be fine because we have not yet seen manifested the vision that God gave us.

Now that it’s all over, I am healing quickly. I’ve been told that it will take a couple of weeks for me to heal completely, but I believe it’s going to happen much faster than that. I am actually in LESS pain now than I was before the surgery. The only real issue I have right now is getting in and out of bed, twisting, etc. There’s no constant pain like there was before.

This lets me know that once all the recovery is over, I am going to be at 100%. I am already looking forward to getting back in the pulpit. I dreamed last night that I was preaching. It was a great message and I can’t wait to share it.

Welcome to my blog. I have recently re-vamped everything and look forward to using this site to share what’s going on in my life, family, and ministry.

Today, I am mostly thinking about an upcoming surgery. This time tomorrow, I will most likely be unconscious as my gall bladder is being removed. I’ve been out of work for a while now due to severe abdominal pain and my wife and I hope that this will solve the problem.

Oddly enough, I’m not that concerned about being out of work. The Lord told me around July of ‘09 that we would be in full time ministry by July of 2010. I truly believe that this illness is at least one way – if not THE way – that God can make that happen. Please pray with us as we seek God’s will in this.
