MATTHEW 18:20 For where two or more are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them... This bible verse says it all and, for me, is the reason I attend the Sunday Prayer calls. Simply to bask in the Presence of God. OMNIPRESENT: Meaning God's Presence is Everywhere. It is often said by various members how the Presence of God seems palpable on our prayer calls. HE is with us! And frequently it is a very strong Presence. The 2 hours we spend in His Presence is amazing, and as Donald declares each Sunday "Sunday Blessings to All". And blessed we are indeed. OMNISCIENT: Meaning God Knows All. When I joined this community, I had no bible teaching background. As I child there was no prayer in our home nor any reference to the bible EVER. Despite that, I believed in God and always have believed He is in my heart, loving me and guiding me. When I first joined the Sunday Prayer calls, I felt awkward and very out of place. Other members were so eloquent and heartfelt with their prayers...and I stumbled over my words. I didn't know how to pray! But GOD KNEW I wanted to move closer to Him...and He kept nudging me...so I persisted. And the members on the prayer calls accepted me as I am ... they encouraged me and lifted me. I could feel God's loving Spirit come through them. With time, one of our members, Velera, reached out to me and she reads the bible to me since my eyesight is currently challenged. We are studying Revelations and I find it fascinating how this holy book foretold of the times we are experiencing now in our world. I am forever grateful to her for her patience and the amount of time she spends with me so I can have a deeper understanding of God's word. God knew I needed a bible teacher and He provided! He really is All-Knowing. OMNIPOTENT: God is all Powerful. Last, but not least, each of us came to this community in HOPE of getting well, and through God's powerful presence we WITNESS past and current members who have restored their bodies. Our very own Terry recently celebrated her healing and restoration, and reminds us that God was a strength in her restoration as she encountered many life challenges through her process. Terry continues to join us for Sunday prayer and often says this community is family to her. I believe each of us knows that ,we too, can and will achieve 100% restoration to our own bodies as long as we continue to follow the diet, the protocol and coaching from Mel AND continue to invite God into our lives. BOTTOM LINE: So what do these 2 hours mean to me? Simple! I get to BE in the Presence, the Power and the All-Knowingness of God each Sunday with new friends and an everlasting family. How does it get better than that? | |||
