Inside Today’s Experiences

September 7, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • God is so awesome!
  • Lot’s of people got set free today from habits and hurts.
  • Behind the scenes there were some minor problems in set-up and some minor problems during each Experience but nothing too bad.
  • I’m loving getting two chances to do the message each week.
  • Today I liked the first time better so that’s what got posted.
  • Saw lots of tears after the special music…God used the message and the song to rock a lot people’s worlds.
  • So many people have already told me how timely the message was for their lives…can’t wait to continue hearing stories in the coming days and weeks of how people are breaking through the wall of lies Satan has been feeding them.
  • Yesteday morning I woke up and could hardly move my left arm.  I thought I must have slept on it wrong and that it’s get better after and hour or 2.
  • It didn’t…all day long it was sore and I could barely lift it without severe pain.
  • For the life of me I couldn’t think of what I might have done to it…l
  • …until last night.  I was running through the message and when I came to the hummingbird part I thought….how am I going to do this…I can’t flap my arms.
  • Then it hit me.  Friday when I practiced I was flapping my whole arm.  I remember thinking wow that’s quite a work-out.
  • Later on Friday when I went through it again….I again felt burning in my arms.
  • So the fact of the matter is…I got hurt practicing a sermon.
  • Seriously is that what life is going to have for me.  Two weeks ago it was getting hurt getting the mail and this week it was working on the sermon.
  • What’s next breaking my nose brushing my teeth?  Spraining my wrist while turning pages of the Bible?
  • In any case, my arm is feeling better today…but you’ll notice I didn’t flap my arms fully.
  • One husband afterwards told me his wife said he wasn’t an eagle or a hummingbird…just a turkey.
  • For the second weekend in a row we had our 2nd highest attendance ever.
  • Hoping to break the record in the next week or two.
  • Yet another person have their life to Christ today!
  • Can’t wait for next week…I think it will be even more freeing than this week.
  • Tonight we’ll get together with some friends for dinner…ribs have been smoking all day….mmmm good…but first a nap.
