The Miracle On 32nd Street
"A Testimony of the Life Changing Power of the Holy Spirit"
,
My brothers and sisters, I encourage you to "never underestimate the awesome power of The Holy Spirit!"
,
During the month of August 2011, Satan and his demonic forces of hell appeared to be more active in and around our city (particularly) in the community surrounding our church. It was at this time during the week of our "Revival Crusade Services" that there were a number of "drive-by shootings" right in the neighborhood (one in which a "two year old child" was injured).
,
In the wake of all of this, the Lord spoke to my spirit to "call for the church to pray in the streets outside of the church!" Knowing that "When God Speaks, Things Happen" on Sunday, September 4th 2011 I received confirmation to what God had spoken to me as Pastor Gregory Kirby (while preaching a message "What Does God See In You?) prophetically proclaimed that, "THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY OF US (BELIEVERS) FOR THINGS TO BE THE WAY THAT THEY ARE!"
,
After hearing this confirmation of God's Word, I immediately instructed the entire congregation to immediately assemble on the street outside of the church for prayer. This is where The Holy Spirit took over! Immediately as we were assembling by the joining of hands, I looked up and THE PEOPLE BEGAN RUNNING OUT OF THEIR HOUSES FROM EVERY DIRECTION TO JOIN US IN PRAYER!
,
Not only that, others who were driving down the street STOPPED THEIR CARS AND JOINED US IN PRAYER! PEOPLE FROM TWO AND THREE BLOCKS OVER CAME AROUND THE CORNER RUNNING TO THE ANOINTING! Men and women who were possessed with the demonic spirits of "drug abuse, alcohol, and other spirits" came RUNNING TO THE ANOINTING saying, HELP ME, I WANT TO CHANGE, I WANT TO LIVE!
,
Seeing the multitude (as Jesus did), Pastor Gregory Kirby, Apostle Edward Williams, Minister Danielle Leggett, Minister Nicholas Taylor and myself, along with the membership of the church began to "pray and stand in agreement" that God would send The Holy Spirit to meet the intimate needs of His people . . . AND HE DID!
,
With our own eyes we witnessed a GREAT AND MIGHTY MOVE OF GOD! As we began to "pray" and "lay hands", THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL UPON THE CROWD OF PEOPLE AND THEY BEGAN TO SPEAK IN TONGUE, AND CONFESS JESUS CHRIST AS LORD!
,
My brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, I encourage you that if you want to "Change People's Lives" that you turn from the "self gain messages" that are so popular in the church today and, act in obedience to God by "praying and fasting" to receive The Power of the Holy Ghost" to MEET THE NEEDS OF GOD'S PEOPLE!
,
Never forget that as "The Elect of God" your assignment is to "GET PEOPLE TO CONFESS JESUS CHRIST AS LORD!"
,
WORK TO FINISH YOUR ASSIGNMENT!
