I recently had the privilege of ministering in a great church of about 100 people on a Sunday morning. The worship was powerful and
the Holy Spirit was present in a wonderful way. The people were friendly and
welcomed me like a long lost family member. I shared a message about being
ready for Heaven and then extended an invitation to come forward for prayer to those who had a need or felt
the Lord nudging them to get things right in their relationship with Him.
The response was overwhelming. I began praying with
people for their specific needs as the Holy Spirit led me to pray. I was
impressed to ask some for direction in how I could pray for them. Toward the
end of our prayer time I noticed an elderly woman who was sitting on the
platform portion of the church that also served as an altar or place for folks
to come and kneel to pray. I walked over, sat down next to this lady of many
years and asked her how I could pray for her—thinking that she might have a
physical ailment or some other non-spiritual need. She began to weep and said
that she had been running from God for so long and needed His forgiveness. We
both began to pray and cry and thank God for His unending forgiveness that was
available to all who run to Him.
Be blessed!
