Today was nothing short of a Divine appointment with God. Words will not be able to describe that which took place today at
New Vision Ministry Center .
It was a battle for me personally just to arrive. I woke up with a horrific headache that left me disoriented and in severe pain. Has there been someone to call I would have but it was though I must get to the church. I managed to get through the first service but I knew I would most certainly struggle in the second.
Pastor Curtis and the New Vision Choir would began praise and worship and I just wanted to be in the crowd today. I walked from side to side and just went and stood at different places of the church just to see what it was like in the congregation. I loved it as all types of people were actually engaging in worship together and I was a part of it.
Worship would soon go to a deeper level that invited an overwhelming presence of God. It was a time for God to reveal his glory. As the choir stopped singing and the band stop playing the praise continued from the lips of the congregation. We wanted something even more and God honored as we cried out he began to literally sweep over the house and lives were touched. Tears were flowing like rivers, lives were being transformed, and weights of life were being removed. It was more than intense, it was more than Powerful, it was the divine presence of God.
It was at this time I felt the spirit of God say give an altar call for the sinners and immediately more than 40 people came forward to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. God was moving and the hearts of men, women, and children were turning to him. People were being saved all over the place and freedom was being released.
We also finished the Mentality series that was truly Life Changing... We are now thinking with the mind of Christ and Don't forget the article I read you. Check out
Clay Noe's Blog to see it.
Our attendance is exploding and God is blessing us as this is the 4th week of standing room only in the 2nd service. God is up to something big and we are waiting for the doors to open to our new home. though the Vision tarries, wait for it, for it shall surely come to pass.
NVMC let us never take for granted what God is doing in our lives. What is happening is because of our commitment to unity and the pursuit of his presence. Let us place great value on the lives changed and as we charged today... Call someone, call everyone and tell them to "Come and See!"
I will never forget what happened today... Thank you Jesus!
