On this particular day, the enemy really came against the service. It was hard from the moment we stepped into the sanctuary. The sound equipment didn't work, the power went off and on and everyone could feel the battle.
Before our service, a group from Rwanda came and a gave a presentation (see pic). It was really something special to see.
Debbie had the main speaking time and the Lord laid a tremendous word on her hearts for the kids. It was to impress upon them just how great our God is...how much He has done and what He is able to keep doing.
In spite of the hindrances, the Lord is faithful! As Debbie concluded her service, Thomas began to lead us in "Oh The Blood of Jesus" and the Lord began to move. It was beautiful.
We stayed this day to hear Pastor Robert Kayanja (host of the meeting speak). Before he spoke, a choir began to sing and it was glorious praise and worship music! The Presence of the Lord swept through the Sanctuary. There was such humbling worship portion that you became incredibly reverent to the Spirit of the Lord.
I had never hear Pastor Kayanja speak, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I was not disappointed. He spoke a message on rebuilding the walls (Nehemiah)...but then he began to teach on Ephraim and Mannaseh. It was one of the greatest sermons on Grace of God I have ever heard. He spoke to the kids needs...where they are. He kept their focus on Christ...that they needed a relationship with him. I was truly blessed by this Message.
Day 7 - Well, let's just say round two hit. Not as bad as the first time, but I did find myself under the weather again. However, I heard from the Chacon's that Bro. Marty had a tremendous service and didn't pull any punches! Keep your eyes on Christ...not on preachers!
I am feeling better today (Day 8) and will be speaking a little later this afternoon. Be praying for me!
