Bro. Garza did a tremendous job today teaching the men. There were about 40 men there for the teaching session. He spoke on having a relationship with the Word of God and allowing it to direct you. He closed the session with a powerful time of prayer and many of the brothers thanked him for sharing the Word with them and encouraging them. Afterwards we rushed back to the Stewarts for dinner and a quick clean up before heading off back to the Conference site.
Upon arrival the service had already begun with prayer. The national youth director was leading the service and he did a tremendous job in leading the people in prayer, worship and giving. The church was packed from wall to wall with numerous people outside of the building. Bishop Stewart estimated that there were about 300 people in attendance. The service was shorter in preliminaries than Wednesday nights so we pretty much got straight to the preaching. About 10 people raised their hands signifying they had never received the Holy Ghost and that they wanted to receive it at the conclusion of the preaching. I spoke about the responsibility for us to have faith and for God to supply the power. I gave several examples of people who took a step of faith and how God responded with great power. Once again without invitation everyone came rushing to the altar with faith overflowing and the place exploded with men, women, and young people speaking in tongues as the Spirit
gave the utterance. Numerous people came forward believing God for a miraculous healing in their body. The level of faith in the people was tremendous and you could feel the Holy Spirit move and flow throughout the building. Those who were outside rushed in also and the entire church was standing room only with people reaching out to God. There were several that Bro Garza and I was praying with who received the Holy Ghost and I saw numerous others throughout the building praying with those who had raised their hands. I am looking forward to receiving the report in tomorrow’s service of how many were healed and filled with the Holy Spirit for the first time.
