14:26 What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
Yesterday. Sunday, April 6, was an amazing time for our new fellowship. It started with Ashish getting to the chapel early. While Ashish was waiting God told him to go to the streets and bring someone back. Ashish left with some bottled water to hand out. He offered a bottle to a guy named Larry. Larry was amazed. He said: "I just went into the store to ask for a cup of water." Larry has been traveling from AL to eastern Ky and has been sleeping on the streets. He came back to the chapel with Ashish and we were able to pray for him. He stayed for the service and we sent him off with some food and money and Ashish took him out for lunch.
We had 23 people present, including 7 women who live in the local community and several children. Leah from Brentwood led worship with 3 of her children. It set a beautiful tone for the service. Calvin, a graduate from the Men of Valor prision ministry, shared his story and the importance of staying connected.
While Calvin was speaking the lady who was scheduled to give her testimony was attacked with doubt and left. Ernie went after her, prayed with her, and got her back in the building. As she, in an attitude of brokenness, shared her story of two years of freedom from drugs, the Holy Spirit fell. People began to cry. Afterwards other women from the community began to tell her how much she means to them and how she has been good example and given them hope that they can live better lives.
One of the women came forward to surrender her life to God. Just about everybody in the building gathered around to pray for her. Afterwards she looked to Heaven, raised her hand, and said: "Grandma, I finally did it!" Everybody was hugging and rejoicing and having great fellowship with a great sense of awe among us. |
