God Loves to Move!

God Loves to move!

Greetings everyone, I just came back from a church mission trip in Maine this weekend and trust me it was cold!  It was so cold I saw a family of deer in snowsuits taking the bus out of town. OK, maybe it wasn’t that cold but it was very cold. When we arrived at Harbor Light Full Gospel Church, Pastor Gilbert and the entire church greeted us with open arms. Song service was awesome! Everyone was truly worshiping and praising God. Brother Phil Baten sang a few songs and the people were just glorifying God. Soon it was time for me to share about our recent mission trip to Loreto Peru. The church enjoyed the report. After the mission report I preached on moving forward! It was not long before the Holy Ghost took over! The power of God hit the church and revival had begun!  God was touching and changing lives! People were falling out under the power of God and great joy was in the house!

Sunday night the presence of God just continued on like we did not even have a break. Pastor Jackson and 30 members from Victory Temple joined us for the night meeting. Everyone was singing and shouting and blessing God. I showed the Loreto,Peru mission film and what a blessing that after the congregation gave an offering for the missions. When it was time to preach everyone’s faith was so high that the Lord just showered down his power and glory in that church!  People were delivered, young people made decisions to serve and work for God! Souls were saved. One young teenage girl came to the altar so tired of pretending to be something she was not just to please her worldly friends, she was tired and worn out. Think of it… a teenager already tired from the pressures of life! Tears flowed from her eyes as she began to say that she could not live a lie anymore and needed to give her life to Jesus. As she spoke, to power of God came down in a powerful way, and she was filled with the Holy Ghost! She fell out under the great and mighty power of God! And when she got up the burden she carried was lifted! Many other young people came to the altar and God filled them with so much of His presence that they also could not stand any longer and down to the carpet the went talking in tongues and praising God! 

Shouts of victorywere now all over the church! Great deliverances were taking place. One woman began to cry out as God broke the chains of bondages off her life, as the last chain broke she ran around the building shouting and dancing, she was free! She was rejoicing and she did not care who heard her, or who saw her.  If she was the only one in building giving God glory, He was going to be praised! One young man told us of how he was addicted to cigarettes and tried drugs. He said his life was going nowhere and he had no ambition to do anything but something drew him to church. He said that he has come to the altar many times in his life and nothing has happened; but, tonight when he came, he truly felt the power of God for the first time!  “It was electrifying!” He went on to say “Something is different, there is something inside of me and I can fell it!  It’s Jesus and He is real and He is going to help me! Things are going to be different know. I am not going home alone!”  He stared shouting! Well, all over the church people were getting prayer! Pastor Jackson was dancing in the Holy Ghost! Pastor Gilbert fell out under the power of God! A sister got healed from pain in her body! Others were at the altar crying, family members were together praying! The Lord just kept moving!

 I think the thing that blessed me the most was this little girl, about 4 or 5 years old. I could see the glory of God all over her face. She came from the back row with tears in her eyes, and her hands raised to heaven. You could tell she was on an assignment, this girl had a purpose. I watched her go to specific people and then she laid her hands on them. Everyone she touched fell out under the power of God! The altar call was still going on and I lost track of her, when I saw her again she had her hands on Pastor Gilbert.  Glory to God!! What a move!!

What a mighty God we serve! I just want to encourage you today that no matter what you are going through, hang on to your faith in God! It may not look like He is going to show up and answer, but God will be right on time!Just like He moved on this church in Maine, He desires to move on your need! He said in his word, that He will move, but who will let it. God loves to move! He wants to move! He is waiting on you to call Him so He can move! So bring all your needs to Jesus today, call on His powerful name because Jesus is ready to move and He is able to meet your every need!

God bless you
