I know this list is sometimes encumbered in theological warrings, but I
wanted to throw in a testimony.
Our youth have been going through a very difficult time. We have about 30
young people in our church, and many of the young men who had once been on
fire for God had sort of stepped back. A few were, admittedly, on the verge
of backsliding altogether.
Thursday during our youth service, one of the ones who had been struggling
testified with authority that he was not accepting the devil's
discouragement and was accepting the responsibility to lead his peers into
victory. The youth had a victory march around the church, and the Lord
blessed the service with a spirit of Freedom.
Sunday night, our services are prefaced with the King's Gate prayer meeting,
a weekly time of supplication in the prayer room with a certain focus. This
week, we prayed about binding and loosing. The power of God was evident in
the prayer room. Those praying left the prayer room and marched around the
sanctuary, worshipping the Lord.
In a matter of about 2 minutes, the power of the Holy Ghost was so strong
that the altars were filled. The young people prayed for one another, and
then began praying for all of the adults. They laid hands on elders and
young married couples. The unity of spirit and the anointing of the Lord
was very strong. The results and indescribable. There was a true Apostolic
outpouring of the Holy Ghost. In fact, 3 were filled with the Holy Ghost
last night!
Just wanted to share something inspiring and uplifting! It blessed my sou!
All Honour to Christ Jesus,
