God is Building His Churches
American Baptist Churches Association 2011 Annual Gathering10/15/2011
I had the opportunity to attend the American Baptist Churches Association 2011 Annual Gathering a couple of weeks ago and something amazing happened to me, which I would like to share with you!
I was in the praise and worship service Friday evening, singing and praising the Lord, and suddenly the Holy Spirit was present in all His glory. I begin to cry, but they were tears of joy! I closed my eyes, and reveled in His Holy presence.
He gave me the most incredible vision: The Lord asked me to hold out my hands, to receive, so I cupped my hands together and held them out. With eyes closed, I was given the vision of His hands placing pieces of bread in mine. He said, "I give you the Bread of Life", and He gently grasped my fingers with his. By now, the tears were pouring uncontrollably, but with such joy and elation!
While His hands are gently grasping mine, I heard the Holy Spirit say, "I am building my Churches Lorraine, I am building my Churches!"
It was truly a wow God moment! I can't remember the song that we were singing, but I heard God's word loud and clear! His presence lingered for the longest time! It was absolutely glorious being in His presence, amongst all those believers!
I shared this with my sister and she asked me if I knew exactly what He meant. I didn't, but as I've prayed about this, He has begun to reveal things to me. I believe this is God's confirmation that He is moving in amazing ways; building His Churches. From day one, He's uniting us [Christians] for His kingdom! We've been called, and for those of us who have and are answering, His hands and feet, we are fishers of men! And He wants every soul to reside in eternity! He is building His churches!
I would like to recommend a book: "Heaven Is For Real" by Todd Burpo! It is an excellent book if you like to read! Because so many of us claim to be Christians, talking the talk, but few walking the walk, Christ took a four year old little boy to heaven, then sent him back to us with a message, and a glimpse of our glorious eternity. His message: "I love you beyond any human comprehension."
God Bless you,
