Spiritual Electricity

Have you ever entered a very dry room in winter and felt the static electricity? The hairs on your body stand up, and you can feel electricity in the air. Then you touch something, or someone, and “POP”…you get shocked! That’s what it was like in church yesterday. As we entered the sanctuary, we could feel the “spiritual” electricity of the presence of the Holy Spirit! We came expecting it! And we were not disappointed! What a great day of celebration as another wave of revival swept through our church. During prayer time, I was privileged to pray a blessing over our students and teachers as they prepared for their return to school this week. At the conclusion of all three services, the altars were packed with seekers, and great victories were won! Take that, satan! You are such a Loser!!

I have two prayer requests today. Please remember me as I resume my chemo treatments on Wednesday. It has been so nice to feel strong and healthy the past 10 days. I am not looking forward to this next round, but God has been faithful to sustain me, and He will help me again! I also request prayer for my daughter Melody Kesselring who lives in Oregon. Tomorrow she takes her national nursing board exam at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. (Noon for those of us on the east coast). Please pray that she feels the peace and presence of Christ as she takes the test, and that He will give her adequate recall of the things she has studied in preparation for the exam. Good luck, Mel. I am very proud of you!

I was blessed with a surprise visit yesterday from Charles & Deede Bowe, and their three daughters. (Erin, Heather, & KK) Charles was my Associate Pastor in Jacksonville Florida, and has served as Senior Pastor at Archer Church of the Nazarene in Florida for the past eight years. What a joy to have them share in worship with us. I sure wish you could witness these great days of revival at Midland Valley First Church of the Nazarene! Hopefully our audio streaming will be online soon so that you can listen to some of our recent church services. Thanks to so many of you for leaving me a personal note in my Guest Book link. They touch my heart. Thanks for your prayers. I love you!
