Fresh Wind Fresh Fire Review

By Jean 1 Comment

Fresh Wind Fresh Fire‘Fresh Wind Fresh Fire’ is a excellent book by Jim Cymbala. Jim shares his experience as a young pastor in a struggling church. It’s the story of the birth of the Brooklyn Bible Tabernacle, in New York.

The secret to the success of their church happened when ordinary people chose to meet during the week to pray and call out for God’s presence and intervention in their lives and the lives of the people around them.

The book is filled with stories of how God transformed the lives of people caught in a lifestyle of drugs, alcohol, and more. For example, a transvestite was set free from drugs and his homosexual past.  Later, he fell in love with a Christian woman and they married.

Of the many stories, I didn’t know that Charles Finney had a prayer warrior, Daniel Nash, that went ahead to each city Charles was going to preach in. Daniel gathered people of prayer to intercede for souls to come to Christ. It reminded me of Billy Graham’s Crusades. They gather churches together to have them pray and to equip people to help at the events.

This book is filled with Scriptures and personal stories from the church. The emphasis is encouraging people to go deeper into prayer and shows what a difference it makes to have a praying and active church. The apostle Paul exhorted us to pray without ceasing, and this book backs it up with Scriptures and the lots of stories of changed lives.

Thanksgiving Story

By Jean 6 Comments

At our church, there was always an open mike at our Thanksgiving services. One year, my friend Ed Hale shared an amazing story. Ed was a policeman then and told us that a highway patrolman had quite an unusual experience.

Ed’s friend was on duty one night and gave a ticket to a speeding driver. When he went to the car, he sensed something evil. He told Ed that as he walked towards the car, the hairs on back of his neck stood up. [Read more…]

A Kind Spirit

Kindness – A Fruit Of The Spirit

I love God stories and love sharing them. This is one from a Pastor we know, in a country that persecutes Christians. He told us about one of his church members that had gone to jail for her faith. Although there wasn’t much food, she would always share it with the other prisoners. They could not break her kind spirit.

When she was released, a policeman was assigned to follow her. After following her for an entire year, he became a Christian too!

He told her that he had seen her kindness in prison and that he had been watching her for a year and had never met anyone with such a wonderful kind spirit. Then he asked her to marry him!

Surprised, this woman asked our friend, her pastor, what she should do. They did get married and are now serving the Lord together! Kindness is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Walk in KINDNESS today. It’s a wonderful fruit of the Spirit!

Beating Cancer

One of the Worship Guitar Class Newsletter Family Members emailed recently for prayer for her mother, who has cancer. I shared some resources from Sam Ericsson and thought you might like to hear about them too.

Sam, a Christian lawyer, had stage 4 cancer 11 years ago. The Doctors said he had 3 months to live. Instead of accepting their words, he chose to fight it. [Read more…]
