Touched By God!

The meetings have been absolutely wonderful. Abigail Sanchez preached today on “ Your relationship with God.” Many people cried as the Lord began to challenge our hearts and call us closer to Him. After the message we began to pray and seek God. While we prayed such a sweet presence of God filled that room. After awhile a word of prophecy came forth saying that “ Many have left off their first love and have set their hearts and affections on things. Many have spent time working for Me but have left off knowing Me.  But now is the time to return to thy beloved, now is the time to rend your heart and not your garment, for the Father stands and longs to be in fellowship and relations with His people.  Draw near my people for the end of things is near and now is the time to embrace the father,' heart and do thy fathers will but it will not come to pass without relationship.” After the word was brought forth a powerful cry went up to heaven. Tears flowed from peoples eyes. God was drawing us closer to Him.

It seemed like all day God was drawing us closer to the throne. Reminding us that our lives or not our own but His. There was a pastor that came to the meeting so discouraged because they just lost their church and now they are renting a place to have services but after the meeting the pastor said “ I thought I failed God but the Lord spoke to me and said I moved you to stir you to action that I may flow through you to reach your community.” This pastor was on fire because now she could see the plan of God unfolding. God set her in a place to win souls for Christ and that’s what they plan to do! Another young minister was running from the call of God but the Lord called him forward and began to speak into his life. He fell to his knees weeping, crying and talking in tongues under the power of God. When he got up he said “The Lord has restored my soul and renewed my vision."  He is no longer running but ready to finish the work that God has called him into. Today was just a day of God talking to hearts and drawing people closer to Him. At the end of service pastors were everywhere embracing and praying for one another. It was a beautiful scene in the House of God.

Before I end this report I am moved to encourage you to draw closer to God. No matter what you are going through or facing, take some time everyday to draw closer to God. Sometimes we don’t always have the answers and sometimes we don’t know why things happen to family, friends and loved ones. But if you draw close to God Hill give you peace, He will comfort your heart, He will give you the strength to complete the call that is upon your life. There are so many distractions in this life, so many things that will eat up your time and cause you to waste your talents on nothing. The Bible says in Proverbs 30: 15 “The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give…” These are things that just attach themselves to you and take, take, take. They want you to give everything but they give nothing. And our Heavenly Father is calling us away from all these little things that draw our attention. And as we respond to that call and walk towards Him all those things that produce nothing will fall off so we can produce more for the Kingdom of God!

God bless you --
