All I Can Say is......WOW!

Do you hear the sound of abundance of rain? God's Spirit is being poured out in magnificent proportions! Sunday was another wonderful day "in His presence" at Life Tabernacle! Souls are being touched by the power of Almighty God. Over the last several weeks we have had a break in our altar service. Thank God! For so long there has been a vice on anyone who was hungry for God, and even though the spirit of God was moving on them to come forward to talk to the Lord they couldn't move and wouldn't move. Now, the Spirit draws them, and people who are hungry for God and a change in their lives actually come to the altar to pray! Again, Sunday morning was a wonderful time around the altar. Jesus must be getting ready to come and take His children home, so He is drawing hungry hearts more and more.

Sunday night we had Missionary Hemus and his beautiful family with us!
When I walked off of the platform after choir warm-up I went to speak to Sis. Hemus and welcome her to our church. We visited a few moments, and when I turned around a lot of the young people had come over to the orchestra area and was talking and visiting with Haley and Patrick Hemus. It was like they were "old friends". I felt UNITY flowing from the group and was so proud of them. It was more than them being friendly, it was an awakening in the spirit to UNITY once again! Then the service started and from the first word of "Oh Magnify the Lord with me. Let us exalt His Name together...." the presence of God was moving and people were in "one mind and one accord"! The choir sang, and it was wonderful. Bro. Elms then introduced Missionary Hemus. He is from the United Kingdom, (Liverpool) so he definitely has the English broque, which was fun to hear. (even though I couldn't understand him at times) He told me, "You American's just need to think faster!" LOL! They gave their presentation along with a fantastic DVD of the work there. As we were watching it you could feel the power of God moving throughout the congregation. Bro. Hemus went back to the pulpit to preach, and then I saw my husband do something I've never seen him do before. He stepped up to Bro. Hemus and asked him for the microphone, then told him "you can be seated". Then, he told the church that he felt we needed to bless these missionaries with a "special offering". He had an amount in mind, but didn't tell the church what it was. We took an offering and during the offering there was prayer going on. You could feel it building, and building, and building, until there was a MIGHTY MOVE of the HOLY GHOST! There was tongues and interpretation from God to the Hemus family, and then intercession was made for them. I feel the presence of God as I'm writing this today! It was so powerful and needed. You never know what a Missionary family may be going through when they come to your church. We need to be sensitive to them in every way when they are with us. They are not just "another missionary" coming to our church. They are "men and women and children of God" who have been called, chosen, and faithful. We should honor them, bless them, and take care of their needs as much as possible. Doing this requires us all to be "senstive in the Holy Ghost" so that God will flow through us as a church body to bless them. I don't know why I'm writing this, but maybe someone will read it and re-think their "lost burden" for those who are serving our King. Now, I will go on.....after the time of intercessory prayer, Bro. Hemus told us while he was praying that he knew God had sent angels from this service to go and bring victory to the United Kingdom! Our church secretary then came in to tell Bro. Elms how much had been given in the offering so he could tell the church, but I can't tell you.........that may be posted later.........all I can say right now is it was far more than what we expected! Thank God for saints who love His work and want to give time, money, prayer, and care to those who are called of God to bring the gospel to the lost and I give honor to men and women who preach the gospel no matter where they are! They may be here in America or on foreign soil. God BLESS PREACHERS of the WORD who bring TRUTH to the world!!
