This week

How has your week been? I was going to write everyday but distractions stopped me. I think writing and praying are often diverted because of busi ( ness). That is another story. Let me tell you about Monday night. I was given permission to restart the prayer room as a gathering together. Several of the guys from my class set up the room and were praying before the class. The atmosphere was permiated with the presence of God. We prayed, worshipped and testified about the wonders of God for 2 hours. It was amazing. One man shared that his grown son just became blind. We prayed for healing. Another man shared that he has left God, he wanted to come back and we prayed for him. Another shared about fears that were invading his dreams. We prayed and asked God to restore his peace. It was a glorious evening. I started my second group on Tuesday at 3:00. Eight men brought a friend who was leaving on Monday. We all were able to give him words of love and support to send him on his next journey. These men are the ones reading about martyrs for the faith. We are talking about what it is going to be like when God asks us to spend time in prison for our faith. Then Tuesday night at the class about the Father's Embrace my group time was spend with the guys wanting to hear about how to believe God's love in difficult circumstances. I proceed to Wednesday thinking things couldn't be better and then the guys in my 3:00 group share how much they are learning about anger from reading Billy's book. We talked for at least a hour about how to let God dig deep in your heart to uproot the anger. One man prayed and released forgiveness in a very abusive past situation. We all felt the peace and presence of God. Thank you Lord for a wonderful week of being used by you. More Lord.
