Spiritual Batteries

Last night my family, along with Mark, Lisa and Haley Gibbs attended revival services at Lakeside Church in Westmoreland where they are hosting Evangelist Michael Willingham. It was great to get there a few minutes early and fellowship with Pastor Leon Graves and Bro. Willingham and all other family and friends that attend that church. It was as a homecoming for me as to Lakeside being the church that I cut my teeth on the pews and ran the halls as a child and even did some "valet parking" a few times (inside story)! Nevertheless, the Presence of God is always felt within the walls and within the people that attend that church.

Worship was GREAT last night as the praise team started out with "oldies" but "goodies"! The Lord's name was repeated in each song reminding us "who" we serve and "who" died for us and "who" is the name above all names! It was a great presence of the Holy Spirit in the sanctuary last night as we began to just "get lost" in worship. Thomas Spears was lead of the Lord last night as well. He was scheduled to sing "a special" and when time came for him to sing he couldn't help himself but to follow the presence of the Lord and sing about the name of Jesus! It's awesome to follow the move of God when he wants to LOVE on us and in return causes us to LOVE on Him!

Brother Willingham was an open vessel as he brought forth a great message to the congregation that was there last night. He spoke about "oppression" and gave a word definition of the subject and really brought out some points that we as Christians need to heed to! We've been "crushed" too long, we've been "crouched down" in hidding for too long! It's time that we walk in what we believe and in what we know is real and allow the "power" within us to move us to another level in following Him! I plan on going again tonight to continue to get my "batteries charged" and I hunger and thirst for a mighty move of God in my own life!!

May God richly bless you today is my prayer!
