Power of God
Back at the Feet, I have been taking on more things to do and to have expected me to do, especially if Mike is not around or is at a conference. Anyway I enjoyed being the top dog around here, but it can get really stressful at times and that is when I say, "Jesus live through me". I really enjoy Wednesdays and Sundays because that is when I definitely tell that God and His power working. There are people who are here that really want to change in their life. They are sick of what they are doing, but keep falling or being attacked by Satan and his demons. One guy named Fred Watkins actually made that decision about a week ago and is living with me in the house until he leaves for Teen Challenge for guys in Dallas. Freddie lived a block away from the Feet and had been coming here for several years. Then he came to Mike a week ago today saying that he was wanting to change. So Mike got him an interview and he passed the interview so he is currently staying with me until we get back from Mississippi on Sunday. God and his power is indescribable for me to say. A man who has been smoking crack for years and then after several years, hearing the Word of God and wanting to change his life because of it. The only thing that comes to mind is the power of God.
Encounter at Huntsville.
I had the chance to go to prison in Huntsville. It was my first time to ever go so as usual I was pretty nervous. The prison that I went to was the Holliday Unit, and the prison ministry that we went with was Bill Glass Champions for Life. Thursday night I had to go to an orientation, then met up with everyone else in the worship service to help get us ready to go on Friday and Saturday. Bill Glass came up and talked to us and he said don't be nervous or asking yourself what did I get myself into because the Holy Spirit was going to speak through you. You are a microphone for God. So after that I went to bed and man I couldn't hardly sleep!! When I had to get up I was getting pretty nervous again because we were going to do this no matter what. I found myself pacing back and forth in my hotel room saying, "Holy Spirit speak through me" over and over. Got to the prison and still saying the same thing "Holy Spirit speak through me". Got into the pods were the inmates sleep and shower and I could really sense that Satan and his demons were there and present. Once the inmates started to wake up God started moving. At first I didn't talk to anybody, but then the Holy Spirit got me talking. There was one guy by the name of Jason. I really felt he and I really connected or like we clicked. I could tell he was a believer in fact he said that he got saved in prison and prison was the best thing for him. He also had the time of day, month, and what day it was. I encouraged him stay in the Word and try to find a Christian group to get into, because if you don't, Satan will attack you even more if your not plugged in. Out of the 2000 inmates there at the Holliday Transfer Unit, there were 260 first time desicions and 396 re dedications to Christ. 656 of 2000 or 33%
