What a wonderful day we had. Four of those who gave their lives to Christ in the meetings so far came to the afternoon seminar and one of them came into the pastors office and put numerous drugs she had been taking on the table and told him she wasn't taking them any more. She had been addicted to pain killers but had not taken them since she was saved in the sreet crusade the previous evening. She has felt no pain since.
A scripture came to mind which says "A bruised reed he shall not break and a smoking flax he shall not quench" In the afternoon I ministered on the bruised reed which I take to mean those christians who have been hurt or damaged and was entitled 'But David encouraged himself in the Lord" In the midst of pain and discouragement when others spoke of killing him David had learned to find encouragement in God and this turned things round for him.
In the evening street crusade I preached on the smoking flax, those believers whose fire for God had almost gone out but there was still something there. Eight people came to the Lord that night and one man was healed of a kidney complaint and testified over the microphone to the crowd. Another man gave his life to Christ and is infected with typhoid and malaria. He is no longer working and hadn't eaten for two days so we took him to the church afterwards and he ate with us.
Four of the converts from the previous meetings came to the afternoon seminar which was really encouraging. Another woman came for prayer in the evening and told us that she had been oppressed by frightening demonic dreams. She believed it had something to do with relatives who were in to the occult and were trying to get her into it too. She is a christian but very scared. Another woman came forward to give her life to Christ after telling me she felt the message was specifically for her. She followed Jesus many years ago but had put her life into her business and had drifted from God. She could hear the crusade from her shop and left it to recommit her life to the Lord. She was in tears as we prayed with her.
I wish we could continue here a few more days. There seems to be a momentum building up. One man in the last light was healed of kidney pain and we had him testify to the crowd of what God had just done. Please pray for this church that the momentum will continue and that the converts will become productive members of the church and grow in Christ.
