I remember as a boy the power of God moving in our services. It was nothing to see people shout and give real praise to the Lord. Men and women would cry and fall under the power of the Holy Ghost. We would see people come of the streets under conviction, and repent of there sins. We used to say the church was on fire. I remember my Dad would preach and things would happen. It was not unusual to see the manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit. Sadly these things that was the norm in my childhood.........have turned into the rarely seen in most churches.
Churches that we would attend and visit as boy, now are closing. The older saints have died off, and there are no children to fill there vacancies. Those old praying grandma and grandpa are become few and far between. God is calling that older generation home....and someone has to stand in the gap and make up the hedge.
I look at the MISSION...and I can see a people hungry for God. We are not perfect and this is not a perfect church. However, God calls us to endure until the end. We don't see much endurance in the church world today. In the day of fast food and fast living, people want a fast service and a quick move of God. God does not move when we want, and it is not always quick. There are times God wants us to wait, so our faith can build up.
Sunday night I saw a new wave of the THEN...NOW. Don't get me wrong I have seen real moves of God. I have even seen the supernatural. Yet, God is pleased with a unified body. That what we have at the mission. We have learned that there are no big U's and little i's. Everyone is equal and entitled to take there liberty in the Lord (as long as it's in order). God moved in waves of Glory. A real power was viewed and I pray that those touched by God have continued to move in Him. I can't wait till tomorrow night to see what God is going to do next at the MISSION. Just watch and see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
