The Lord is doing great things!

My Family and I traveled to Auburn, Maine to preach and share mission reports at Christ Temple Church of God in Christ. We knew God was going to move but we had no idea how much God was going to do in this service! When we arrived we were greeted by Pastor Jackson and soon after it was time for church. The congregation is very friendly. The church has a good mixture of black, white and Spanish people that love and care for one another. You can really see the Love of God in this church.

The song service was excellent! The choir was awesome! After the choir finished with their second song it was time for the mission report. I shared about our recent trip to Loreto, Peru which really blessed the people. After the mission report I preached a message titled “He’s bringing it all together”. As I preached the Holy Ghost moved in a powerful way! There was a lady in the second to the back row and God sowed me that she had given up on life; she felt as if everything had fallen apart and she could not fix it. But God told her that what she could not do, if she gave it all over to HIM, He could do it and more. This woman lifted up her hands in surrender to God and the Holy Ghost came upon her mightily and she fell out under the power of God! Then the woman beside her began to give her burden over to Jesus! This lady was in a deep depression.  She had came up from down south because she lost her home and was living in a shelter with her family and could not find any help. She came up here only to be back in a shelter. But today she did not have to look for help because help had come to her! Jesus came down like a gentle rain up on this mother and she began to cry as the power of God moved on her and all of a sudden the love of God smashed through her depression and she started shouting and dancing and talking in tongues. Then the power of God hit her husband and then her daughter and then her son. God was delivering and touching her entire family!

As God was moving on this family the Holy Ghost was moving all over the church! One man came to the altar and I said to him “God said it is time that you stop running and surrender.” I went on to tell him that I see him with bags all over him. The man said, “I lost my home and I am homeless. I was passing by with everything I owned on my back in bags but I came to church today.” I told him that the biggest bag he was carrying was a drug addiction and it is time to let God break that habit and be delivered once and for all. The man fell to the floor crying! He began to cry out that he lost his children, his family, and his job! He called on that power, the name of Jesus and the Holy Ghost began to shake his hands and then his shoulders and them he hit the floor under the power of God and got up a brand new man! So many things had happened in this service that time would not allow me to tell it all. So many young people were saturated in the Holy Ghost!  As the people were praying this one sister got up and started prophesying. She was prophesying to all the dry bones in her life! She said no more! No more depression, no more defeat, no more poverty! We are going to get a home, we are going to get jobs, and we are gong to serve God! This woman started preaching what she believed! As she spoke the Spirit of God moved through the church in waves! The power of God was all over the church! My wife Abigail was praying for people and God was touching them through her life! It was just awesome! People were everywhere crying, shouting and talking in tongues! God was in the house and He was making His presence known. Near the end of the altar call we started singing a victory song. My two sons Melvin jr. who is 5 years old and Isaiah who is 2 years old came running down the isles dancing and jumping to the music! Well they were so excited that I started dancing with them. So all over the church we were shouting and dancing and glorifying God!

I know this blog was a little long but I can’t end without telling you that no matter what you are going through or facing, no matter how broken it may seem to you the potter wants to put you back together again! So no matter how you feel don’t you dare give up on God! Trust him and seek Him. He has the answer to your problem, He knows what you are going though and if you let Him He will help you! God is a good God and He wants to take all the broken shatters pieces of your life, your dreams, your health and your families and bring to you the love, salvation, healing and restoration you need to be whole!

God bless you
