For over
a year now I have truly submitted myself to the teachings coming from this
church. Bill Johnson and his ability to articulate God's
desire for intimacy has launched me into new levels with the Lord that I never
thought possible. Excited, and overflowing with expectation, I accompanied my
friends to this phenomenal church.
My trip
was met with more than I could have ever imagined. After the morning service, I went
down to the front and simply sat there. Soon after, I was talking with one of
the loveliest ladies I’d ever met. She asked for prayer in regards to her son.
As I prayed, I shared about my love for my mom and some of my recent struggles
expressing that love. Before I knew it she was praying for me, and I was
sobbing. I was praying for her, and she was sobbing! A truly divine appointment
if ever one existed.
Later that night we returned for their evening service. The
service was incredible! I began to pray over people and they were getting healed!
All throughout the room people were getting healed! But no words, no pictures,
or even the movies could have prepared me for what came next. The entire room
began to worship in a way I’d never witnessed. United and pure, they sang! In
the upper right corner of the room, toward the ceiling, a small cloud of “gold
particles?” (there are no words to describe what it was exactly) formed. It
began to grow as worship continued. I rubbed my eyes. Could it be? What was
happening!?
I love reading the Bible, but I’m sometimes surprised at how
little I believe it. When faced with encounters with God, it is amazing how
often I seek to logically explain things. A cloud of the very presence of God
formed in front of my eyes!!! There were no tricks, no games. In fact, those that
belonged to the church half expected it. After this trip I knew my life would
never be the same!
Here's the team I went with
The trip concluded with a trip to San Francisco and Manteca California (where there is an amazing out pouring of the Spirit).
