Stephanie in Ghana- First African Church Visit
Hello Family and Friends!!!
Last Sunday was my first African church visit!! It was truly an Awesome experience!
They had a visiting Pastor from Venezula! He was a powerful, anoiting speaker!! The congregation danced, jumped and Prasied the Lord for over an hour!!! We joined in with them and had a Blast Praising the Lord! We waved scarfs in the air! The presence of the Lord was present!! They Yelled to the Lord in Praise and worship and the Spirit came!! Young and old praised and danced before the Lord!!
He spoke from 2Corithians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!! He had a powerful testimony of how God had turned his life over from drugs, alcohol and pulled him away from living with a prostitute for years! It was powerful and it reminded me of how God can redeem your past and bring beauty back to your life!!
The entire service reminded of the past two years of my life and how God has redeemed and healed me from the death of my father and divorce. It is amazing how when you are going through trails in life and you can't see What in the World you are supposed to learn but God uses every opportunity to ministry to us.
For me and the loss of my father was a teachable experience of God knows best and we must trust Him on all occassions!! It was a struggle of anger, pain, and hurt but God delievered me and I have peace knowing that I will one day see my Heavenly and earthly Father again!!
For my divorce, I have learned so much about myself but most of all that I must always have a personal intimate relationship with our Savior no matter the situation you are in!! and to Always seek God and not the World on ALL occassions in life!! Only the Love of Christ can truly heal, restore, and redeem a broken vessel. He is the ulitmate Healer of All time!!!
This Sunday we visited a church for the deaf! They taught us the Alphabet and gave each of us a name in sign language! I had never been to a church for the deaf, so it was a good experience. They embraced us and welcomed us into their service!! It was beautiful to see sign language worship!! No matter the situation you can worship Him!! I Pray healing for the deaf ears to hear!
Blessing to All and I Pray everyone is doing well!!
love
