Holy Ghost Rain!

Wednesday night was one of the most powerful services that I have ever experienced in my life. There was a man in the service that had problems with his joints and muscles and could barely move his upper body.  But when the Spirit of God began to move, he lifted up his hands, jumping up and down, because God had completely healed him. His family could not believe it, but after he got healed, they all got saved! Another lady had severe back pain for over 20 years, and she could barely turn from side to side.  She struggled to get up and down, but while I was preaching, she felt the presence of God come over her -and she stood up, shouting, completely healed! God was making Himself known in the midst of His people! We had many healed of all types of pains and sicknesses tonight! One young girl came to the altar very depressed.  The Lord showed me that she was planning to run away from home. When I told her what she was planning to do, she burst into tears and, right there at the altar, she surrender her life to God, and the Lord set her free from her depression, and also restored her relationship with her parents. We also had a Pastor in the church tonight that came ready to give up the ministry and walk away. He said the battle had been long and hard against him, and everything he does seems to fall apart in his hands. But tonight, when the Word was being preached, hope sprung up in his soul. At one point in the service, I went over to him and grabbed his hands and said “No matter what you are going through, don’t you dare give up on God, for the battle is not yours, but God’s!” After I spoke those words, the power of God came upon this Pastor mightily, and he went running and shouting! God had set him free and restored him!  He told me after the service “I feel just as strong as I did when I started the ministry. I am strong, renewed and full of faith! I am ready to fulfill my assignment!” The more the service went on, the more God moved!

As we were all at the altar praying, you could feel a mighty presence of God move into the church, and the Lord began to set people and ministries into place. It was awesome! Pastor Jackson was moving through the church, praying and speaking words into people lives. The young people started crying and talking in tongues, and they started going around praying for each other. Revival had broken out! The Holy Ghost rain was falling everywhere! The elders got on fire tonight, and went around laying hands on one another. Parents where praying for their children! People were lying across the altar, not able to get up because the power of God was upon them so strong. I looked from the pulpit, and all I could see were people everywhere praying and crying and seeking God. There was a mighty river flowing in this place! God has empowered this church. We were at the altar until almost 1am in the morning! Nobody wanted to leave! Pastor Jackson said he had never seen God move so mightily in his church before, and he is so grateful for all that God has done. After service, people testified how they were delivered from pornography, set free from drugs, healed and filled with the Holy Ghost. There is a great stirring here in Maine, and God is not finished yet! I know without a doubt that the best is yet to come!
