Let me start by saying Thanks to God for what happend last night. (church)
Thank you Lord, you alone are able to do what you did last night. You made me so
incredibly happy. I'm still smiling from ear to ear.
Ok. Now are you curious?
Last night we had church. Actually we had a ladies and teenage girls church night Fri. Sat was just for the ladies. I learned alot through that service. Then we had Sun morning service where Br. Garcia preached. ( my Pastor's pastor from Kentwood, LA) It was a really awesome service. But last night my hubby came to church with us. I remember one point Logan looked to where we sit at church and saw his daddy and he waved. It was cute.
Anyways....I don't feel weird or intimidated to worship around Ray. That is one thing that I am so glad about b/c God expects us to worship no matter who is at church. Sis Jordan normally has Logan if I'm worshipping, or we take turns. :) (thanks sis)
But I was just praising God and thanking Him for what he was already doing in the service and we hadn't heard the preaching yet. My husband is so easily touched when he's at church. It takes everything he has within him to not bawl like a baby. When he sees the kids worshipping and dancing and just giving their all to God, it touches him. When a little boy (who is the pastor from kentwood grandson) got up to sing last night "I'm going home to Jesus" that made him watch in wonder. (slyly wiping tears away) I was told he almost broke down many times while I was up front praying. He watches that worship, not just from me but from who ever. Now don't get me wrong, I don't do it b/c he is there!
I've been the only link he has had to truth. Sometimes that's a scary thing. B/c I don't want to push him to come to church. But I do want him there. I know it's got to be all in God's timing. I had seen throughout the song service, and through the preaching, that my man was really being touched. I began to Thank God and told him that if it didn't happen tonight, if he didn't get the holy ghost, that it was ok. I was ok with that b/c I know it has to happen when God says. Not but a few mins later after praying that prayer Br. Pullens asked Ray if he could pray for him. Ray couldn't talk b/c that question choked him up. He shook his head yes. Br. Pullens told him to bring me up there with him. Walking up to the alter with my hubby leading the way was just a feeling in it's own. Made me think that I truly want this. I really want him to be not just the head of our home, but the spiritual head. Ray had a death grip arm around me. and Br. Garcia had us hold hands with our other two hands in front.
They prayed for us as a family after Br. P annointed us with oil. They prayed for our marriage. Then they prayed for Ray. Now in b/t this praying I started really feeling God. Like I said earlier I wasn't afraid to pray with Ray right there. I wasn't scared to speak in tounges. Ray almost got the holy ghost!!!!!!!!!! He also about squeezed the life out of me while i was in prayer. At one point he looked at me trying not to break down and told me he loved me in front of everyone that was behind us helping us pray , and those who were on the platform. Now that was amazing too b/c well I can't explain it....it just was!
Then he hugged me and it started all over again. I prayed for him then and gave it all to God. It was just something I will never forget and will continually thank and praise God for last night.
On the way home I told him how happy I was, and that it was one of the very best nights of my entire life. He said well he was glad and that he was glad he came to church. Glad he participated too.
I don't think it will be long before he decides to come to church on his own. And not b/c there is going to be a ton of food served afterwards either! (what's reeled him in to church before....lol)
Only God can give him understanding of who he is.
Only God can let him know how much he loves him.
Only God can show him the truth
Only He can change his heart and his desires.
As you can tell....I'm thrilled beyond anything! I felt as if I got a small glimpse of whats in the future.
By faith, my hubby will be a God-fearing, tongue talking, holy rollin', shouting Apostolic man.
