Holy Ghost on Wednesday Night

[Sherri]

Well, we had a powerful service tonight and it just went on and on because no one would leave. Parents had to go get their kids and then they started coming back into the sanctuary with them, because no one wanted to miss what was happening. Eddie taught the most powerful lesson on worship and then we started singing, and the glory of God just came into the room.

One gal by me got the Holy Ghost, and didn't even know what it was. She's been totally away from God and had just started recently back to church. I don't know what her background is, but she didn't know what "tongues" was, until it happened to her. I think she's going to get baptized soon.

The power of God was so HEAVY, it felt like a weight in the room. I love it when God's Spirit sweeps in like that!

Our Wednesday night services are well attended, because the church people know that Wed. nights are all-out powerful times of God's presence. That's the night that we are just wide open to whatever God wants and it's my favorite service!

I know what you meant by that-- but it just struck me as funny the way it was worded I guess.

Our church is wide open to what God wants every time we are there. Visitors never know what to expect-- and I haven't heard of us scaring anyone so badly that they didn't come back.

I can't remember if I mentioned it or not-- but our pastor recently appointed someone to fill the position of youth pastor. The first "youth service" there were about 40 in attendance-- and three first time visitors received the holy ghost. (Those same three haven't missed a service since that time) On the second week in the youth service... there were 80 in attendance. Some received the holy ghost that night also.

I'm looking forward to the next youth service. I'm not what you'd consider "youth" anymore since I'll be turning 40 this year... but I get such a blessing out of seeing what God is doing in those services that I don't want to miss the service myself! I think the youth pastor likes when some of the "older" bunch shows up for support.

I love to hear about the fun people have in service......we're supposed to enjoy what God is doing!! Thanks for sharing Sherri!
