Being in HIS presence!

What an awesome day today. This morning, Gene preached about taking time in God's presence. It was an awesome message and God moved in a sweet and powerful way.

Tonight we had the opportunity to take that time in the presence of God. There was such an overwhelming presence in the service at the "mother" church. During the praise and worship time, God moved in as the praise group sang "We worship You in the spirit. We worship You in the truth." Then the song goes on to say, "We worship You, worship You. We worship You, worship You." They sang this over and over as the crowd was lost in His presence. Then they began to sing, "You have turned my mourning into dancing." The crowd began to worship God in the dance as victories were won across the congregation. I looked across the auditorium and noticed our boys jumping and worshipping - there's no feeling like watching your children blessed in His presence.

Just before Bro. Bernard was to preach, Sis. Bernard sang "He looked beyond my fault and saw my need." It was beautiful and again the spirit of God flooded the place and tongues and intrepretation went forth. Bro. Bernard exhorted the crowd during this time, but never actually got to his "message". The altar service progressed and during that time, Bro. Bernard prayed for Gene and I specifically for revival in Pflugerville. It was AWESOME!

After service, a lady who had prayed for me earlier in the altar service confirmed some things that God had spoken to us almost 18 years ago. God is just so awesome to find us wherever we are and let us know we are always in His sight.

Karla, the services sound wonderful! Thank the Lord for His goodness and attentiveness to us! He's such an awesome God. I don't know how anyone can doubt His power. There is a sweet presence of the Lord in your church. You can feel it when you walk in. I'm glad you all got ministered to, and I'm glad the boys got a touch! Love you!

I love hearing about those kinds of services! It's encouraging. We had an awesome weekend with Sonny & Ann Shambeau. His ministry in song and the Word was really awesome and God moved powerfully last night throughout the service with wave after wave of His holy glory!
