A Wednesday Night Oasis

It was just another simple Wednesday. I am teaching a series on Spiritual Growth and Maturity. This week's lesson was on "The Gifts that Edify." Just as I was tying it all together and ending, a lady walks in the back door and sits down. She listened very intently as I talked about how our church should be a place that we can be molded and made into His image. We should all strive to make this a place of love and respect. My wife began to sing, "Serving God is beautiful, serving the King of Kings, I serve Him because I love Him, you see - Serving God is beautiful to me." This lady began to weep. I had everyone reach to someone and begin praying...and the Spirit swept in. I then went back and prayed for her. She began to shake under the power of God and then began to speak in tongues. After a while of worship, she began to tell me that she had been filled with the Holy Ghost some time ago, but had slipped into sin. She said, "I don't know how I really got here...I just needed to find God...my Grandmother (the one who raised me) is at death's door and I just needed to find God...and thank God, He was here! I came from Georgetown and had no idea where to go, but I called my cousin, Kevin Logan, (the man who started coming a couple weeks ago) and He said I could find God here." She barely made it before we would have been gone! But, thank God, even though so many were out tonight - He was there.
