The third morning was like the two previous mornings as I was awakened at day break with singing and worshiping and praising. I need to tell you that all of those over 300 pastors and some of their wives all had to sleep on the ground through the nights on a little mat they carry when traveling. ( I wonder how many pastor and wives would sleep on the ground in the USA?)
I continue. They brought us to the meeting at the same time as before. Butch S...... preached and then Johny H... preached and I was to preach last. As my name was announced while I walked to the Mic. I was humbled as all in the audience stood and clapped and gave glory to God. I almost wept from the emotion of it as I also give the glory to God.
My message that day was to exhort the gifts of God
1 Cor. 12: 8-11. I read the scripture and explained the gifts as stated but then I referred to verse 10 at the bottom of the verse and explained it in detail; Also that salvation from Jesus is the foundation (1 Cor.3:11-14) and we are to build on that foundation. Using verses 1 Cor.12: 8-10 as the reason for their baptism of the Holy Spirit. I explained they are to pray in tongues to receive the interpretation and divers kinds of tongues. Then discerning of spirits, then prophecy, miracles, healing, gifts of faith, word of knowledge, word of wisdom. The verses 8-10 to be received have to be reversed in order to learn how to receive them. At least that is how I received them. Now I walk in the power of The Holy Ghost. It is not just for me but all that believe.
(Since this has happened to me I have shared it in the countries of Nigeria, Brazil, and India as well as the U.S.A.)
At the end of the message I was led to go among the pastors there and to bless them in the name of Jesus. At the end of the service again all the audience stood to their feet and glorified God. With that we closed the pastor's conference.
That night pastor Johny preached at the crusade and a few came for salvation. He had me to minister to any that might be left that needed healing. About fifty came for healing and were healed.
My faith was on the mountain top after 3 days and nights of almost continued worship!!! All glory to The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!!!
Thank you to those who have sent PMs and to those who have showed an interest in what I have written. More to come as I have time.
