I have just returned from the Bas Congo region in Democratic
Republic of Congo. The Lord truly visited his people. Heaven is richer
and hell is poorer. The Gospel made an indelible mark on the town of
Boma. Boma means a big snake! Well that old snake got a mighty blow on
his head! Jesus is Lord and the snake is defeated. The lost were saved,
the sick were healed, and the demon possessed set free.
It’s so refreshing to see a people who don’t bend God’s exclamation
mark, into a question mark.
1 Peter 2:24 He personally carried away our sins in his own body on the
cross so we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. You have been
healed by his wounds!
Faith was high as mothers simply choose to believe the Word of God, and
began bringing their sick and suffering children out of the clinic just
behind the field into the meeting. They sat on blankets and chairs
expectantly listing to the Word of God and fully expecting the Lord to
touch them. A touching story is that of a mother who had her little girl
in the clinic for two weeks. The child had stopped eating and was
getting weaker and weaker. Every day this mother brought her child for
prayer. Suddenly on the 3rd day the Lord touched her and she was
completely restored to perfect health,, all fever left and she started
eating again. Testimonies of powerful healings flooded in. Goiters, back
pain, ulcers, eye pain, and stomach pain vanished, as the Lord our God
who heals us moved in Boma.
As I proclaimed the undiluted Gospel, the response was overwhelming. It
seemed that every hand shot up instantly, there was no prolonged altar
call, and people understood they needed salvation! What a ripe harvest
field! What a joy to see such openness to the Gospel.
The Saturday night of our meetings is always dedicated to teaching on
The Baptism into Holy Spirit. It seemed like the Holy Spirit took every
word I spoke charged it with power and carried it into the hearts of the
people. A crowd of about 15,000 were gloriously baptized into the Holy
Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. Then we began to
worship. Many fell to their knees on the field just getting lost in
adoration of God’s presence.
Thank you our friends and partners for your part. Together we are making
a difference, thousands are turning to Jesus, many have found the balm
for suffering and pain, many a troubled heart has found peace. Such hope
is found in Jesus. What a wonderful Gospel we have been given to preach.
It’s a Gospel of power! |
