What a great weekend! We had class on Saturday where my wife Sherin shared a short devotional to the class about the Favor of God. First time but probably not the last time she does that. I'm proud of her preparing and delivering in a meaningful and practical way.
Saturday night there was a prayer time at the church. There was a surreal and spontaneous move of God's spirit within the people. The "program" got thrown out and everyone went with the flow. There was not even a message or exhortation necessary. The hearts of the people were opened. Time of confession, repentance, dedication, and prayer. Are those signs of revival? Being able to be free in the presence of God is so exhilarating and liberating. "There must be more than this!" There is unity of spirit and mind when 4 people openly confirmed that night (many more might have been thinking it) the direction from God for the church in regards to prayer ... the church will be in prayer every night for the rest of this month. Prayer can transorm lives, situations, relationships, and our future!
Sunday morning services were so blessed. A young man from the neighborhood came for the service. The guest minister spoke at both services and challenged the church to keep the Great Commission the sole priority of the body of Christ. The church must win souls. One line he said really resonated with the congregation, "Jesus died for the mission, We live to finish the mission!" He prayed over and dedicated the team and the ministry of the community worship service so that lives are won for Christ.
Enjoying This Ride,
Cecil
