On November 5, 2005 more than 125 ladies from the Community Bible Church of San Antonio , Texas toured the Greiner studio, home and ranch.  The Holy Spirit gave them more than they expected.  He gave them a supernatural, “intimate encounter”, as stated clearly in the following letters. 

“They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”  Revelation 12: 11

Dearest Max & Sherry,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so much for having us out to your home.  Your have been such a blessing to me and so many women on Saturday.  I want you to know the best part of our visit for me was your countenance – your spirit.  Such a love for the Lord – I wish I would/could have.  I could clearly see that you live your faith.  Thank you for praying over us and blessing us and healing us!  We were all blessed through you!  The best part was the Golden Glitter!  As we were caravanning towards your ranch, I was wondering – why God wanted a bunch of women to drive out in the country to someone’s ranch to see some life-size bronze sculptures… NOW I KNOW – It was to experience HIM! My prayer is that our Lord continues to bless you – so that you may continue to bless others!  Thank you again,

Sweet Max & Beautiful Sherry,

Thank you for the greatest experience of my life – so far! After we returned, a good friend of mine was talking about how much she wanted to go.  She always wears a bunch of silver jewelry but today she really wanted to wear GOLD!  I told her what you taught me today, Max…. Love & blessings to both of you,

Dear Max & Sherry,

What can we say but thank you for opening your home and sharing the wonderful blessings that God has bestowed upon your lives. In has been an honor to fellowship upon the rock that your house has been built on. I will never forget the beautiful and awesome experience of witnessing God’s Shekinah Glory upon my life.  I pray that the Lord continue blessing you in your ministry, testimony, extensive ideas for your sculpting, health and love for Him! God bless you,

Dear Max & Sherry,

What started out as a simple side trip for a few ladies to see God’s works of art turned out to be a Special Blessing sent to us from our awesome God.  The Lord always knows how to top off our retreat with not only sharing your home but your art, what a blessing.

I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit all around me while I was there.  The funny thing is I was having neck pain but was so busy praying for the girl next to me, I forgot to ask for myself, but last night, as the night progressed the pain that I usually have (from a car wreak I had) was not there... I thank you and your wife for having us at your home. Love & blessing,

Sweetie

Max,

Praise God!  He has anointed you.  I was so blessed by the experience at your ranch.  You made us feel like God had built the place just for us.  I have a new perspective on God.  I wonder if the streets of gold are paved with Shekinah Glory?  It is one thing to see lives changed and people being ministered to because of your surrender to God’s will.  But, to physically witness God radiating through us – WOW!  God bless you! Your sister,

Max & Sherry,

Words cannot begin to describe the awesome experience and the true encounter that I experienced on God’s and your mountain.  Thank you so much for sharing your home, hospitality and ministry with our group and myself.  You have so much to share and can touch so many lives with your awesome gifts; not only in your art, but also in the words and prayers you share.  I know God has wonderful plans for both of you.  As I the Jabez prayer: “Lord expand my territories.” Thank you once again.  My prayers will be with you both in your ministry, and if the Lord’s will, be able to see you again.  In His service,

Dear Max & Sherry,

I want to thank you for the awesome afternoon.  I left my workbook study because I was sick and the girls said go home today.  I laid down for an hour, skipped lunch, went out for a 7- Up, and they were lining up to go to your ranch today, and decided to join in.  I drove myself just in case I needed to leave early.  I was so thankful for your prayer today because you offered for anyone feeling ill, diseased or whatever the need is.  That was awesome.  I am glad I went, because I got a miracle.  It was totally a God thing.  I had to share my wonderful experience.  Thank you for having all of us visit and your wonderful prayers!  God bless you!

To the Greiners,

When we understood that we could visit your ranch I don’t think we could have known what a blessing it would be.  Your love of the Lord is so palpable, so forthcoming.  I have been so blessed with your love for God.  Your strong faith in all that God will do, in all our lives, if we let him, was not understood until today.  You are truly God’s servant and I feel so blessed that I could meet you and share this time with you. Thank you for having us.  We all won’t forget you both. I was truly in the presence of God today at your ranch.  God bless you.

Max & Sherry,

I had the pleasure of coming out to your ranch with our women’s retreat at CBC.  I can’t thank you guys enough for sharing your wonderful spirit, not only with me, but also with all the believers and non-believers that came out.  I truly believe you are both anointed with our wonderful Father’s Spirit.  I truly felt that I was on “Holy Ground” while at your house.  I see how easy it could be to get closer to God everyday when you get to wake up to the beauty He has painted for you in your own front, back and side yards.  I sincerely thank you.  God bless,

Max & Sherry,

Thank you so very much for opening you home and studio to us today.  God used you to show Himself to so many.  His Spirit was heavy upon my heart.  I love the Hill Country.  I was born in Kerrville but never lived there.  I so feel God’s presence when I am able to get away and visit the Hill Country.  God has so blessed you with a talent that reveals who He is to people. Your home and your testimony as to which God is, and how He works in your life, touches people in their soul.  I pray god will move you to have more people come to your home, to be touched by God. I will treasure the “Shekinah Glory” that fell on me today.  God is awesome and He showed Himself in a special way today to those He placed there.  Thank you again for your obedience to God’s call on your life.

Dear Max & Sherry,

Thank you so much for opening up your home and lives to us.  I was not expecting what I experienced there.  I have been a Christian since I was a teenager, but over the past year my spiritual life has taken a back seat to life.  I was going to church every Sunday, but wasn’t having my quite time with the Lord and I was trying to handle everything myself.  This weekend has helped me get my priorities back in the right order. The experience I had at your place was a big part of that.  Thank you,

Pam

Dear Max,

You and your wife truly are blessed.  We also are so blessed to have met you and experienced what we did today.  Please accept this gratitude.  Not only did your place bring me back to my childhood, but also it brought me closer to God… Living in San Antonio is such a crazy world.  I realized that I miss God’s land and the peace of living alone with Him in such a quiet, spiritual place.  Several people noticed that when you prayed, the wind picked up and you could feel the Holy Spirit blow through you.  Thank you for an out of this world experience.  With sincere respect,

Dear Max & Sherry,

Wow! What else can I say?  Thank you both for you very kind hospitality, first you letting us come out to visit your beautiful home and spectacular property.  Wow.  Since I live in San Antonio , I do not often enough get to renew myself with nature.  What a true pleasure it was to visit your home today.  Second, the introduction to another one of God’s many graces, the “Shekinah Glory”, Wow, Wow, Wow!  Third, laying on of hands and praying over you and Sherry was a joy.  Thank you for the opportunity.  Having you, Max, pray over all of us was an inspiring moment in time.  The Holy Spirit was with us!  What a joy!  Praise Jesus for your ministry.  Fourth, opening your shop to us and signing the pieces (of art), which I bought, was very kind of you.  Meeting you today was such an awesome experience for me.  Many Wow moments.  I give thanks to the Lord for that today.  I will keep you in prayer.  Again, I would like to express my deep gratitude for today’s many joyful experiences.  Your sister in Christ,

Dear Max & Sherry,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me the honor to visit your ranch.  I looked at both of you, and how you looked at each other, as you spoke about your home and how it came to about.  It is awesome to see a couple serving the Lord!  It encouraged me, that as I fight with only the Lord’s strength, to fight for my husband’s salvation.  Thank you Max and Sherry, for praying with me individually for my husband.  It touched my heart when I saw the plaque in your home that stated Isaiah 61: 1- 2.  I know with all my heart that I was born to serve the Lord.  I know that I was in this group by divine appointment.  I will keep you in my prayers.  And, one day, in the name of Jesus, I will notify you of my husband’s salvation.  You might even hear me screaming and yelling from my rooftop in San Antonio !  May the Lord bless you in all that you do.  You will never totally imagine how the experience at your home affected all of us. Thank you and God bless you beyond measure!!!  Your sister in Christ,

Max & Sherry,

What an incredible experience yesterday was.  I really don’t think there are words that can describe the few hours we spent at your ranch.  Thank you for sharing your retreat with us.  You are both so gracious and welcoming to so many women.  Thank you for praying over our group; there were so many lives changed and touched.  For me personally, I was able to let go of some past hurts and the bitterness that had grown out of those hurts.  From the very moment Satan tries to take me back there, I have committed to remember the stone cross in the ground (at the Prayer Patio), and what was done at that place!  Your home, land, and artwork are beautiful.  Thank you again for sharing your life with us! Blessings!

Jamie
