AWESOMENESS OF GOD

The seminar of June 12-15, 2009 was awesome and possibly even more profound than last year. The Lord had spoke to me a few days prior to the seminar that we were going to enter into His presence, and that He was taking us higher. From the very beginning, the worship and praise, the preaching and signs and wonders following were all an expression of what He said would be occurring during the Seminar. We kept following the Holy Spirit as He opened up more and more opportunities to bring us to what He wanted to do in our midst. Nothing was by chance. He had orchestrated it all.

There was the pastor from Rwanda, John N., who came over by faith as his 5th child – 16 month old Joshua – was in the hospital not eating or drinking. John called his wife in Africa again and again for the progress, and the doctor’s report did not look good. The Lord moved upon our hearts to meet the financial need; the hospital surgery was a success. The child was in surgery during the time we were corporately praying and singing, “There is Power in the Blood.” What a testimony. The child is recovering back in Rwanda. Also, without prior knowledge, God sent a professor to the Seminar from Georgia Tech. to interpret for him. She had come to be with us at the Seminar. On the first day of the Seminar, it was discovered that she spoke fluent French, for that is Pastor John’s language. (This woman also has a healing ministry.) What a miracle for Pastor John N. having his own personal interpreter.

There were people that gave their testimonies of healing while they were at the seminar. One woman was prayed for over her wrist which was broken and would not heal. During one of the meetings, after prayer, she felt the bones move. After the seminar she went to her doctor and he took the cast off and the bones were almost completely healed. While dancing to the Lord, knees were healed. Migraines lifted off those who were suffering, and severe allergies disappeared with a loving touch of the Lord. One spoke that something within her very being as a large knot, lifted off of her. Praise the Lord!

There were profound prophetic words of knowledge given to Jahdai the key board player from Puerto Rico. Many others received, over the four day period, prophetic words of encouragement and direction for their lives and ministry. Worship and dancing throughout the sessions were awesome. The Spanish praise group with Lisette leading, sang and played during one session which ministered to us all.

During our time together, some were receiving immediate evidences of deliverances. At one session communion was given in the most beautiful way; reverence and honor to the Lord. And then there was the ordination of Theresa from Wisconsin, who had had a deep desire to be ordained in these smoky mountains in the presence of the brethren. Pastor Isaiah from Wisconsin officiated at the ceremony. Theresa’s spiritual aspiration is to one day serve the Lord in China.

Bro. John and I gave challenging teachings on Faith, and how to stand in difficult times; and then we also taught about the house that God is building. Many scriptures were given for the enlightenment of this understanding. Faith and obedience keeps you in the house and under His protection. There were prophecies given concerning the coming catastrophes coming to the US, one in particular said it would be very soon. This is not a surprise for America is under judgment; the cup of abominations runneth over. Our protection is to be under the shelter of the Almighty.

All were involved, one way or another, in this tremendous gathering; a full houseful at the Center. It was the best so far of this kind of in-gathering; a sort of Feast of Tabernacles. I don’t want to forget that Sunday night as most came up front and the Holy Spirit came down on everyone’s heads in such a power that it knocked everyone backward in such a way that none could stand in His presence. It was electrifying. It was the demonstration of who He is and it was a quick work in healing and deliverance.

Our dancers where Theresa and Daphene from Wisconsin who danced as gazelles in the Holy Spirit, and of course all the musicians and singers with Darlene leading with praise were a continued blessing. John and I personally received a blessing from a prophetic dance with Theresa and Daphene dancing around us. It was done to honor us and prophetically spoke to us. It was the Lord. We thank all who came from many places, including England, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Dominion Republic, Africa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, S. Carolina etc. At the end of the four days, we had to bow our heads and say “Thank you God” for meeting us here at the Center on Rose Creek. You said you would, and you did! And we thank you Lord, for we are anticipating your move to give us the Center at Rose Creek as our own, for your glory.
