Great Day Saturday

Saturday, we had a great day on the Streets. Kelly had to work, but she came down for an hour or so to have lunch with the guys. She had been gone on vacation, so this is the first time we had seen her in threet weeks.

Ben also joined us a little later in the day.

It was our usual core group including Bill, John S., and David. After they guys finished their lunch, we got into our bible study. This was the third week of studying the baptism of the Holy Spirit and being full of the Spirit. As we finished the bible study, I asked them what they thought about it and if they believed they needed to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. They all said they did.

As I did this, a small Asian woman entered the Subway sandwich shop where we were studying. She saw us with out bibles open, and she lit up, Praising God.

I invited her to join us and bought her some lunch. As she sat down she shared his testimony. She shared how she had once had over half a million dollars but the Lord told her to start giving it away, that he was her source and provision. She said she was tied to her money and the Lord wanted her free. So she obeyed. As she went on it was obvious that she was really learning to live by faith in a way that few of us actually do.

The Lord told her to come to Dallas and work with the Homeless. Saturday was her second day downtown and she said she was just walking around and the Lord told her to come into the restaraunt to get something to eat. It was amazing because she started speaking about being baptized in the Holy Spirit, just what we had been studying about.

I believed this was the Lord moving into the situation. So I asked her to describe her experience with the Lord and she began to speak. It followed almost exactly what I had taught the guys. Now they were really open. In the mouths of two or more witnesses let every word be established.

Subway was closing, so we went over in front of City Hall. All three of our guys were touched by the Lord. Bill began speaking in tongues the moment we layed hand hands on him, as did John S. It was powerful. Bill actually ended up on his knees right in front of City Hall in downtown Dallas crying out and worshiping God. It was powerful. John had the sensation of heat come all over them.

We explained that the purpose of what they had experienced was to serve and minister.

I do know one thing, they received a touch from God, that absolutely proved God's enormous love for them in a powerful way. Bill quickly got with Ben and started praying for him. It was really powerful.
