I posted and IF ANY TWO. Dr. Ron asked me what I would consider an "OUTPOURING". It was a good question.
I was wanting to know if any one was feeling something special in their spirit about yesterday's church meetings. I had, and had been anticipating Pentecost Sunday since the day after Easter. However I could not put a definition to Ron's question
I think I saw one yesterday.
I was at a rather large church as that denomination goes. This denomination is to say the least very much one of rules and regulations. they have a lot of good music and the minister is a good man He is a great pulpit man. Well this is not the point.
The point is God has been stiving with this man about their legalism. ladies wear just dresses, no cutting hair, no tobacco, no alcohol, and farther, and farther. Yesterday this pulpit preacher spoke about 5 minutes and then showed a film. It was about the polutions of the rivers of the world. It brought out that the church needed to repent for poluting the Gospel of Christ with extra-Biblical and non-Biblical junk. This film may have lasted 15 minutes. He then had cases of bottled wated brought out. His call to response was to personal apologize (in tears) for all the junk his church had added to the pure water ogf the gospel of Christ. He asked all who had ever been hurt by the church to please come forward and take a bottle of water accepting his apology. He pleade for this to be accepted as his apology. After they went back to their seats he made another plea for all those who had come the first time to come back again, and then he asked those who had hurt them by poluting the water of the Gospel with man made junk (yes this preacher named some things striat up) to come to get a bottle of water, and turn to some one and apologize for the hurt. he said the apology should be for all theothers whom the church had hurt. He then asked for apologies to be made. I saw weeping. I saw people hugging. People placed heads on each others shoulders as they wept. I saw people on their knees weeping and praying. I saw several hundred people repenting to God and each other. I saw it and I was involved in it.
I think this was an "Outpouring"
I think it was real!
I have seen many things over 45 of active ministry. I thank god for His Grace that I was preswnt at this event.
