This morning we had a very nice breakfast at the hotel and it looked more like a pastry deli than a continental breakfast.They had many sweet confections and scrambled eggs and ham that were cooked in a cream cheese sauce.As we assembled outside the hotel the milkman passed on his bike with a crate of fresh milk on the front and back of his bike - I guess it was easier to deliver the milk on a bike. Yesterday we saw painter riding his bike down the road and carrying several gallons of paint hanging from all different parts of his bike.He also had a 12 ft step ladder over one shoulder and steered the bike with the free arm. We had a pleasant walk to the church there was a cool breeze and the temp is in the low sixties.
We were supposed to start at 9 and at 9:10 the minister started without everyone. We had worship music until 10 and then Harry spoke on the Holy Spirit as spirit of life.Afterwards we had a prayer tunnel.The prayer tunnel is like a Holy carwash.We just stand across from each other and say a short 5-10 second prayer over each person that comes through.The prayer tunnel lasted a long time - I think some people went through the carwash twice.
Next was my talk on the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Adoption.I thought my talk went pretty good. The story of Joseph went well.Afterwards we anointed peoples feet. This went rather quickly because I think people were afraid for us to touch their feet.Little did they know that they were being set up for later.
Pam had the talk the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of truth.Pam is such a gentle and kind woman - I always love to hear her speak.Afterwards we walked around and prayed for people as they sat quietly in their seats.For those of you that were there last year Harry and I had the long purple banner letting it gently blow across everyone in the room. This was a very quiet time but I think there were significant prayers that went up to Heaven and some of these prayers were answered.
Emma Bruce gave her talk on Holiness and I was particularly touched and I was as Alanda says "lying before the Lord" and praying while she talked.There were many tears that were shed during her talk.Emma has such a passion for ministry.It was after Emma's talk we had a foot washing.This was the nicest foot washing that I have ever participated in.We have a group of students that interpret for us and they set everything up and brought us warm water to put in the wash basins.Then they would bring a bucket around so that after we had washed one or two people's feet we could start with fresh warm water again.This was a very meaningful time for the ministers.It took a while because there were many people to wash their feet and there were 11 of us washing feet. (Claudio and George started helping us minister because we have had as many as 250 people come so far today).Harry didn't think there were that many and said that he thought I counted like a preacher. He said he thought we only had 250 here last night but I am pretty sure we had at least between 300 and 350 (again I guess I count like a preacher)
.Sue gave her talk next on the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Love.Sue gave a very heartfelt talk that was full of Love.Afterwards we had a Hug ministry.One of the first young ladies that came up to me and hugged me would not let go. (Some of the regular church members have come to the Seminar also).Finally after a couple of minutes I let her go and she went back to her pew and sobbed.Her mother came up to me and through the interpreter told me that when I was hugging her daughter that her daughter felt the love of God and the love that she wanted to feel from her earthly father. I hugged her mother and ended up giving her a bottle of anointing oil to anoint her home and to pray for her home to be blessed with a spirit of Love.Her father was very ill and unable to hug her.I have prayed for many sons today - I think when I told about my three sons during my talk this helped people relate to me better.One man was concerned that the devil was trying to claim his son and I told him that satan would love nothing better than to claim all of our son's and try to make the next generation a Godless generation.I told him I am standing in the gap and praying for my sons and he should too.We should never stop praying for someone because they don't act the way we think they should - this is when we should pray the most.
Then came Harry again with the Spirit of Power Talk- After Harry's second talk of the day we anointed the ministers for the double portion that Elisha wanted from Elijah Some of the Ministers came back more than twice to be anointed for a double portion They are so thirsty for the Love and the Blessings they have been receiving since we have been here. After the anointing we went to supper and it was nice as have been all meals we have had here.
We rested for a while after supper and then a popular Band in Brazil came to play for our evening worship.They could rock for Jesus - I have done several videos today and I am still trying to copy them to the website. I probably will not have any pictures to post tonight because I have been doing the video thing. I think I probably need the software that came with the camera to be able to upload.The church had a dance team that performed an interpretive dance - Lynn you would have loved it - they were so awesome and expressive and all 12 of them were in the youth group. They have worked hard to show us their appreciation. This lifted everyone up so that when Parker came to give his talk on Prayer the crowd was pumped up.After Parkers talk the interaction was for all of the young people to come to the front and then each adult was to find a youth and pray for that youth.There were well over 100 youth that had come tonight.I again have a preacher's estimate of 400+ people in attendance.We had a marvelous time of praying for the youth.I saw a young man across the room pointing at me and he waded through the crowd because he wanted me to pray for him - I was honored to be able to pray for him.Everything went well and then it was time for Virginia to finish the evening with her talk on Unity.
Virginia gave an excellent talk on Unity (Last year Joy gave the Unity talk and it was the Brazilian's favorite) this year the Brazilians gave Virginia the best round of applause that they had given for anyone all day.After the last talk we had another Holy car wash and this time we anointed everyone as they passed through the tunnel.Many people went through twice because they felt so blessed on their first trip through they wanted more.The evening ended on an awesome note with much prayer and great happiness.We are also happy too because today has been very tiring and we are ready to go to sleep.I am on my way to bed - God bless you, Love, Bobby
