I'm just loving even thinking about all those brothers and sisters, gathered in one place, worshipping God for three straight days!
That was and is my prayer.
It's just been thrilling my spirit that these events, and this transition, are happening over the sabbath day, even as we enter into the spring feasts of Israel and begin what is commemorated by so many as "Holy Week"!
And then I saw and heard the rabbi "speak" at Brother Patterson's first memorial service last evening.
What a time, what a time this is!
"Divine Anticipation!"
ALL HAIL KING JESUS!!!
SHABBAT SHALOM!!!

Hey sis Misskay!  I was absolutely blessed and thoroughly encouraged by every moment that I saw and heard. And that's from in front of my computer and the Word Network (who, btw, I suspect should be 'specting a well-deserved COGIC beatdown), lol! Truly, THE WORD is not bound and technology is a wonderful thing! I'm so looking forward to hearing from bro kb and sis living... |
