Pastor Goyo, Pastor Luis, and I spent three days
teaching an intensive course on Freedom in Christ with the Church of God
congregation in Tuxpan, Nayarit.
Most of these believers are very new to the gospel and have been around
the block! With great enthusiasm,
Pastor Abimael continued to encourage those attending and has done a great job
as their Pastor.
With these new believers, some didn't know what to expect
and expressed a nervousness and fear as we approached the sessions of going
through the Steps to Freedom in Christ.
It was obvious that the enemy was at work.
As we always do, we separated the men and women. In both groups, we experienced
interesting circumstances. There
were many interruptions at the location where we met with the men, but we still sensed freeness
in the atmosphere. The
women stayed at the church to walk through the steps. They needed to stall a bit when they reached the point of
renouncing past experiences with witchcraft. One of the participants had been involved in such
activity. As she was renouncing
these things, there was a cry that was heard and all of the sudden the door
slammed shut. One of the leaders
continued with her until she was able to renounce all the activities in which she had been involved.
Amazing things are happening. Every person who participates in this course expresses a
sense of freedom and a realization of the lies they have believed about either
themselves or God. One woman said
she felt like a feather. We have
found that the biggest obstacle that prevents believers from growing is
unforgiveness in their life. It's
amazing what happens when one is able to forgive!
Thank you so much for praying for us as we continue to lead
these seminars. Pastors are
continually asking us to come out to their church and teach. Your prayers and support at this link are helping
people find Freedom in Christ!
