Refreshing From The Lord

The Lord has shown us favor by visiting the church starting at the closing weeks of February. This visitation started during our intercessory nights and so we decided to teach about the Person, Work, and Gifts of the Holy Spirit. We also did 3 successive Friday night prayers till midnight to prepare ourselves for this refreshing from the Lord. Since that time God would visit us with His manifest presence during our praise and worship times and during altar call after the sermon. People began encountering God in a real way as the ministry team prayed for them. Many of them tell us, "Now I know God is real; He has touched me in a very real way." Many have been baptized with the Holy Spirit and received spiritual gifts. Those who received gifts of healing immediately helped us pray for the sick. Ken prayed for Carol's father in the hospital; the following day he got out of the hospital!
