Sunday, Donna & I (Three for Thee, Inc.) worshipped with Westmoreland Pentecostal Holiness Church in Wilson, NC. Words have yet come to me that would explain the ovewhelming sense of the Holy Spirit I felt on that day. Donna & I both agreed, even on the way to the church, that we felt His presence. As worship began, we felt His Spirit stirring within...growing stronger and stronger. The service was turned over to us, and I can honestly say that much of it I do not remember. I was literally overwhelmed by His presence when signing and speaking - unlike any experience I have ever had in a service. The message was from Zechariah, and I felt without a doubt God was calling someone...more than one. My heart was heavy though as the words came because I believe, eventhough many responded, there were some who did not return to Him. My heart is still heavy. God calls...God calls...with love, mercy, and compassion, He calls. We have a choice to respond with obedience and yield to Him, or respond with rejection and ignore His calling. My prayer has been that whoever quenched the Spirit on Sunday and ignored the call, he or she will continue to see/hear God's presence every place he or she goes. I pray that His loving Spirit will continue to call through every avenue He can use until the person/s surrenders all to our Almighty God, Savior and King.
Do you hear Him calling you to something? To obedience in an area of struggle? To a deeper level of worship and intimacy with Him? To love and peace far deeper than you can imagine? It is all found through His Spirit. Yield to Him...and His blessings will follow!
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus...the one and only forever King, Savior, and Lord...to HIM be all glory, honor and praise...for He reigns forever, and ever, and ever. AMEN!
I want to thank you and Donna Rhodes for the blessing that you two brought to Westmoreland Sunday, and wow, that ushering in of the Holy Spirit as we begin to worship with you is still lingering in my spirit. The power in in ya'lls spirit that spilled forth in your expressions can not be explained in words only to behold!
