Many
guests of the most different churches from the far vicinity have followed
the invitation. And God did not disappoint them. The different services
were characterized from the presence of God, a lot of spontaneous and
prophetic worship, profound preaching and again and again refreshment
and encouragement by the Holy Spirit.
Unfortunately,
the announced speaker Francois Botes could not come, because he was not
able to travel because of acute health problems. We are sure, that he
will visit us soon.
Judson
Oliveira came to Bamberg for his first time and went back to Brazil as
a friend. His warm hearted nature and the way he expresses his love for
Jesus through music, pulled almost every visitor into presence
of God.
One message passed like a red thread through all services.
" Seek not the hands of God, but
his heart".
Judson
is a well known christian musician in Brazil, who is invited from many
churches and groups all over his nation. His songs speak about the Father´s
heart of God and his love to us as his children. Also in his messages
this subject is important to him. Without this simple and childlike relationship
to God, we miss the center of theFather´s heart. Be able, to allow
myself to fall into the hand of God and his security, in the certainty
that God has my life in his mighty hands and he takes care about me. We
can´t reach the heart of God by activity or dead religion.
The hunger for God and his touch for our cities, churches
and the nation was also an
important point in this conference. Prophetic words and prayer
for the nation were also strong
accents.
Judson had a special love for the young generation. It is all over the
world hungry for God and ready without a compromise to go with Jesus.
In the conference we prayed for the Kids and teens.
Judson sang a spontaneous song for the little
kids, it was certainly translated.
The
bible teach us about the new wine. A picture for the Holy Spirit, who
God likes to give. His effect is stronger and leads frequently to symptoms
of drunkenness. In the book of Acts we see, the people thought, that the
disciples were drunk early in the morning. But directly before, the Spirit
hase fallen on them.
It
also happend many times in the conference, people were fallen to the ground,
they seemed to get drunk, received new joy from the Lord and a lot of
more.
All
partners and responsible ones of the conference felt, that the metings
were much deeper and more extensively, as the earlier services with Vincent
in our church. We will see the effects in the next months.
We finished the CD`s with the spontaneous
songs from the conference. More information
you will find on our website.
