Awakening 09 officially ended last night but the awakenings have just begun. God worked in a marvelous way in our church this past week and we are so grateful to Him. Eight people were baptized during the week. Each one indicating their absolute commitment to follow Christ and to live for Him. Several others made decisions to trust Christ to forgive their sins and will be baptized in the near future. Some of those who were baptized indicated that they were already saved but had not received Biblical baptism, until this week. Praise the Lord for His great work.
As I shared with our men's prayer group this morning, this is not the time to stop praying. More than ever we need to seek the heart and face of God, to pray for these new believers among us, and to pray for those who do not yet have a personal relationship with the Lord. In the wake of these new commitments of faith, some will face opposition and discouragement. However, with the help of the Holy Spirit, the empowerment from the Word of God, and the fellowship of other believers they will grow strong in their new faith.
To Him be the glory now and forever!
