The conference days are long, but today was so incredible, I am going to try to capture it before trying to sleep. Today I spoke about God’s seven divine appointments. There was such a wonderful response. Judy asked me to speak first because she was so sick. But God gave her energy to give a powerful message on Deborah and Esther. There were about 30 in the day services who came forward declaring they wanted to be born again.
We went for our daily meal, and the resetaurant was particularly awful today, but there is only one restaurant in Mubende so you get what they have. They had no fish and the meat was too tough to eat, but I had a wonderful cole slaw with a vinegar dressing, and a small potato. I will be glad when the food choices are better on Monday. But we are in a heavenly place, so I am enjoying God’s supernatural presence, and praying for health and the anointing to preach and pray.
Tonight there was no rain!!!!!! The field at the crusade was jammed, the music wonderful beyond description, and the smiling faces were as far as you could see, and beyond in the dark. Grivas brought a powerful salvation message, and over a hundred responded. It took a while after prayers for them to fill out cards with contact info so the local pastors can follow up. A team from Prayer Palace is staying here for a week after we leave to coordinate all that. The presence of God was heavy on the meeting. Grivas began praying for healing. A man who was completely paralyzed on one side of his body was instantly delivered. Many others came forward and declared they had been healed. We got back to the hotel around 10, and Art and Judy and I met to pray for the Sunday meetings. Grivas asked me to speak in the morning about the authority of Jesus. Hey! I’m not a regular preacher. I don’t do spontaneous messages!! I take it back. I have been very free here to speak, and I knew immediately the scriptures I needed to read to prepare. He will open my mouth. Judy will speak in early afternoon, and then we will have an extended time for prayer for the many who have accepted Christ this week. Then the grand finale at our last evening crusade. It has been a whirlwind week. The schedule next week is less intense, and hopefullly we will be in a place where we can buy some necessities.
I just want to praise God for His faithful care for us this trip. It is such a blessing and privilege to be with these visionaries who have given everything for the gospel. We are the beneficiaries of their sacrifice. Love and blessing to New Life Church as you worship tomorrow. We carry your prayers and gifts with us!
