We had a really great Life in the Spirit Seminar weekend using the videos As By A New Pentecost. How wise God was to select these men and women to pour forth his Spirit afresh on the Church in the U.S., almost five decades ago. It was my privilege to give testimony to the need for continued growth after we give the Holy Spirit permission to pour forth God's transforming power in our own lives, as well as to help with supplies, music, and to emcee the day on Saturday. I am always amazed that people don't utterly reject me when I share the darkest parts of my own story, how I became what I detest, in the context of how abundantly greater God's love is than our own failings.
Many received new spiritual gifts, including an older couple who have been in the renewal for years but have never prayed in tongues before. It was a deeply moving day, and as we emphasized, only the beginning of the new life in Him that God desires for all of us.
