Tommy Tyson calls the North Carolina Kanuga CFO in 1980 his “spiritual home.” There he tells of a Texas couple who were sure God had promised to raise their daughter, who was killed riding her bicycle. When she did not wake, they asked him to show them how he would. Resurrection came through a neighbor and a business partner won to Jesus.
Tommy Tyson teaches releasing prayer at the North Carolina Kanuga CFO in 1980. A woman in Texas was told to stop praying for her dying neighbor and instead to hold a steady mental picture of him out mowing his lawn. She watched him recover enough to tow a trailer to Alaska. He warns that reciting a friend’s virtues to God before asking is only “spiritual gossip.”
Being filled with the Spirit does not excuse anyone from facing human nature, Tommy Tyson tells campers at the North Carolina Kanuga CFO in 1980. “Saints are sinners saved by grace,” he says, and God’s royalty is redeemed riffraff. He describes praying with a woman whose asthma traced back to being weaned as an infant, and standing with parents who chose to hear a son’s hardest confession and love him anyway.
Growth comes through knowing, Tommy Tyson says. It means knowing whose you are, knowing Jesus from within, and knowing that a way truly committed becomes a directed path. At the North Carolina Kanuga CFO in 1980 he compares committal to a car turned so far into an intersection that it cannot back out.
There is a song at the heart of life, Tommy Tyson tells campers, and rigidity and false expectations of other people drown it out. At the North Carolina Kanuga CFO in 1980 he tells how a reopened dining room fireplace, two chairs, and a second cup of coffee taught him to pray with his wife Francis.
