Bungoma Crusade. Let the fire fall.

We now have come to the climax of the mission to East Africa. Yesterday evening we began our big crusade in the town of Bungoma. This has been planned and advertised for some time. They have brought numerous churches together and there have been repeated times of prayer and fasting. We are believing God for a fire to come to set to churches ablaze for Jesus and to spread through this area.....Yesterday evening we experienced very heavy thunderstorms yet many people still came out and within seconds of the praise and worship starting up I could feel God's presence. The praise and worship team are serious about getting into God's presence and seeing God do something and so are the ministers. I shared the message I have about "7 Things everybody needs to know about Jesus" This was a prophetic message God gave me when I was in Israel last year and powerfully cemented my convictions about the preaching of the full gospel. Everywhere in the mission that I have preached this message we have seen God touch people deeply. There is always a heavy conviction and commitment to the gospel and a great stirring to share it with others. Last night was no exception. Today we are going to have what is called 'A triumphant procession' from the church to the town centre for an evangelistic outreach then go back to the church where I am going to share one of those 7 things entitled "We are his witnesses". People need to know what specifically Jesus has done for us. It's great to say he forgave my sins but we need to tell people what else we have personally experienced him do. How has he changed us? What miraculous humanly impossible thing has Jesus done in your life? It was giving personal testimony that so touched that boy in the Roman Catholic school. We will continue this crusade until the end of tomorrow. We are praying for the fire of the Holy Spirit to come to equip and empower us the spread the gospel. I want to believe God for many people to be touched and saved and healed and delivered today and tomorrow.......It is going to be a good weekend, amen!.........................{7 Things everyone needs to know about Jesus - Taken from Acts chapter 10 verses 36 to 48....1/Jesus was anointed by God to overturn to works of the devil, healing, doing good and breaking bondages...2/ Jesus was crucified for our sins....3/Jesus rose from the dead and is alive today...4/ We are chosen witnesses of the resurrected Christ, those of us in fellowship with him bear personal testimony of his power...5/ Jesus is ordained by God to be judge of all men, living and dead....6/ The prophets bear witness of him....7/ Through his name whoever believes in him shall have his sins forgiven...............Before Peter even finished preaching, The Holy Spirit fell upon Cornelius and his household. It's God's word. It's God's gospel. God anoints that which belongs to him and when we preach HIS gospel then we can expect HIS anointing to establish and advance HIS kingdom as described in Isaiah 61 verses 1-2 and Luke 4. The great need of the church is not another denomination. It's not another programme. It's not a new style or doctrine. The great need of the church in the anointing and empowering of the Holy Spirit to complete the great commission we have been called to and it will happen as we are faithful to preach the same unchanging message that was handed down by God himself, started in Galilee, preached throughout Israel and preached to the gentile Cornelius by Peter. That's the vision I received in Israel and that's what I preach and everywhere I go I see God moving, people being saved, the church being convicted and stirred to action and the kingdom advancing. It must be God's power and not our own. It must be God's message, not our own and then we will see the great commission coming closer to it's completion - This gospel of the kingdom must be preached to the uttermost parts of the earth and then the end will come...amen and amen}
