A WOMAN SET FREE FROM YEARS OF OPPRESSION THROUGH JOY!
Dear Friends and Partners,
As I write this months’ letter, it is 2:30 AM on a Saturday morning. I couldn’t wait to share with you some thoughts about what God has been doing here in the ministry. I am writing from Ontario, Canada, in Owen Sound. We finished up our second night meeting a short while ago and I am still floating in the anointing. What a Spiritual Breakthrough Conference this has been! I told the people tonight that years ago I prayed that I would always be right in the center of what God was doing. Tonight we were. It wasn’t about contending for a breakthrough. We had already broken through from the first song. The heavens were open and God was pouring out upon us.
Last night was very unusual. There was an extraordinary joy in the meeting. I was preaching with a wonderful sense of humor, but it was more than something natural. It was supernatural. People were being overcome by waves of joy throughout the meeting. Some people get offended by joy in church. I think it is the most wonderful thing! It is our strength. Tonight a woman shared her testimony from last night’s meeting. She had been in over nine foster homes as a child, was raped, abused and deeply oppressed by the enemy. As waves of joy flooded over her she laughed for the first time in her life. All of the years of heaviness, despair and oppression just melted away. She felt 1,000 pounds lighter by the next day. Her life was changed forever! Thank you for being a part of this transformed life!
This morning as I awoke, I instantly started talking to God in prayer and experienced the overwhelming sense of His presence with me in the room. It was glorious. That same presence and atmosphere was in the meeting as I entered the building tonight. It is the spirit of revival. There is a heavy, tangible glory among us. That is what I love the most about what God is doing here in Owen Sound, Canada and everywhere. His presence!
