I WANTED TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO THIS SITE, AND CHECKING IN SAW THAT OTHERS HAD ALREADY DONE SO.  TRULY WORDS COULD NOT REALLY EXPRESS WHAT WAS EXPERIENCED AND WITNESSED IN OUR RECENT REVIVAL!
  I RECEIVED A CALL FROM REV. ASHMORE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, THE 12TH OF NOVEMBER, CONCERNING HAVING A MEETING.  THIS ALREADY WAS IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO MY DESIRE(PERHAPS PRAYER TOO) TO HAVE THEM COME.  I HAD JUST BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT TO A BROTHER IN THE CHURCH, AND HAD ANNOUNCED TO THE CONGREGATION TO REMEMBER THESE TRAVELING PREACHERS IN PRAYER.  BY NAME, I HAD ASKED THEM TO PRAY FOR AND REMEMBER EACH OF THE MINISTERS AND WIVES THAT ARE ON THE ROAD VISITING THE CHURCHES!  SO WHAT A TIMELY BLESSING TO HEAR FROM REV. ASHMORE!  BUT IT WAS THIS MAN THAT I SPECIFICALLY DESIRED TO HOST AT THIS TIME.  (YES, THE LORD WILL GIVE US THE DESIRES OF OUR HEART.)
  THE MEAT OF THE MATTER IS THIS; THE devil's LIES WERE QUASHED ONCE AGAIN!  'OL NASTY THANG DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE!  he MAY HAVE HELD SOME BACK, BUT EVERYONE THAT WAS FULL OF APETITE FOR THE THINGS OF GOD, GOT THEIR BLESSINGS.
  FROM THE OPENING FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE TO THE LAST AMEN ON SUNDAY EVENING, THE 19TH, THE LORD CHALLENGED HEARTS AND MINDS, AND PERFORMED MIRACLES IN VARIOUS ONES.
  ON FRIDAY EVENING, SISTERS MEDRANO(THE ONE BEING A SISTER OF REV.MEDRANO) WERE BOTH HEALED IN THEIR BACKS, RESPECTIVELY.  THE ELDER SISTER CAME THE NEXT NIGHT TELLING ME AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE CHURCH, THAT SHE HADN'T SLEPT IN THE BED FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS, AND THAT SHE FINALLY HAD!  A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE ALSO HEALED THROUGHOUT THE REVIVAL MEETING, AND THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM AND POWER WAS POURED OUT TO OTHERS.  DON'T TELL THOSE FOLKS IT CAN'T HAPPEN!
  THAT WASN'T ALL THAT TOOK PLACE HOWEVER.  WE AS PREACHERS WERE CHALLENGED WITH SPECIFICS THAT WILL FOREVER BENEFIT OUT MINISTRY, OUR CHURCH GROWTH, ETC.  SO TO SUM IT ALL UP, I HAVE TO SAY THAT HAVING JUST SIX DAYS TO PREPARE WAS NOT EVEN A CONSIDERATION.  WHEN REVIVAL IS IN THE AIR, WHO CAN REJECT THAT?
  GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
