Shown above is a corporate prayer meeting that took place at Impact Christian Fellowship Monday, April 5, 2008.

It began with an opening prayer and quickly moved to worship. Then those who had just returned from the revival in Lakeland, FL shared their experiences there. All expressed the deep hunger felt in those meetings to both experience and carry the glory of God in a deeper way than ever before.

They also testified of receiving an impartation. After these testimonies, they prayed for those who wanted to receive the impartation. Worship and prayer continued for some time. Here is, in part, what one person experienced while being prayed for:

When it was my turn, Nancy began praying that I would receive the fire of God. I was seeing, by the Holy Spirit, that I didn’t understand the fire of God. I didn’t know what it meant to have the fire of God, so I asked, “What is the fire of God?” I had no more gotten the question out than a vision came to me. I saw, within me – in my innermost being, a ball of flaming orange fire much like a close up video of the burning sun. It was God within, on fire. The fire was burning so bright it consumed everything hindering its way. The fears I had from past emotional injuries were like small bunches of dried paper easily and permanently consumed by the fire. The fire was burning up inhibitions still present in my flesh. These hindrances were small in comparison to the energy in the fire – like paper to flame. My flesh was no longer in control; satan was no longer in control, the fire of God within had a life of its own ... What happened at the prayer meeting far exceeded my expectations.

At this time, bi-weekly meetings are planned. The next corporate prayer meeting will be May 19 at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary of the original Impact building.

Monday, May 12, a DVD of the Lakeland Revival will be shown from 6 - 10 p.m. in the same building for anyone interested. Feel free to come and go during that time.
