Coming soon, I will be posting, in four parts, a message I preached at our thanksgiving service here in Conway. Some of my family has been wanting to hear it, and rather than burn a bunch of CD's and mail them I thought this would work great.
The message is called Refreshment, and God had been dealing with me about preaching it for several weeks. I was in a revival service at Bro. Jay Emerson's church in Benton, AR with Evangelist Kerry Sanford, when God spoke this to my heart. After having my fiance' die a month before we were supposed to get married, I was dealing with some heavy baggage. He started preaching about "Blind Bart" and his restoration of sight that Jesus bestowed upon him. The Holy Ghost fell on me in a mighty, mighty way, I began speaking in tongues like I had not done in awhile, while the Holy Ghost just washed over me and through me cleaning me out and letting me know that God still loved me.
Since that very moment I have wanted others to feel what I felt right then. We all haven't lost a fiance' but sometimes life just plain gets you down and we don't realize what God wants to do for us IN our situation.
Anyway before I get carried away preaching the message on here I'll just wait and let you hear it with your ears, haha.
