During the prayer time, the feeling of God’s coming close, not just good worship, but God’s actual presence, began to fall. I kept watching this one young guy, Ryo. He was not saved yet. He just kept standing and wouldn’t sit down even after most people sat down. He said that during the prayer time, God came right before him…
Our brother Tri passed on this amazing testimony. Dig in! What is the most rare and valuable thing? It would probably be to see God’s face here on Earth directly. tonight at service, Gary preached on the need to accept God’s invitation to receive Holy Spirit’s baptism of fire, even though he hasn’t received it himself. After reading the Bible these past few weeks and all the Scriptures on Holy Spirit, he just couldn’t doubt it or ignore it anymore. It’s in God’s Word and it’s true. during the prayer time, the feeling of God’s coming close, not just good worship, but God’s actual presence, began to fall. I kept watching this one young guy, Ryo. He was not saved yet. He just kept standing and wouldn’t sit down even after most people sat down. After the service, He and Tak, waited to talk. Ryo is shy and very genuine. He said that during the prayer time, God came right before him. He saw God’s actual face and described it to me. God told him or asked him three things: Who are you? What do you want? Where do you want to go? Then He said, “Come with me.” We prayed with Ryo to accept God’s invitation and he was walking around afterward glowing. He was moving his hands together and saying fire, fire fire. The fire of God’s love fell. Holy Spirit, there needs to be a revival fire in Japan like the fire of Pentecost that caused the original church to conquer the world. please pray also for spiritual protection, because as great as the manifestation is, there is also attack, and we are not exactly a supremely competent group of people. in fact we know nothing and we can’t do anything by ourselves. we are totally helpless….in the hands of God. God has a burden for Japan that is immense. it is more powerful and spiritual than explosions of galaxies because these are the eternal souls of people on the line here. please pray more and more deeply and cry out to God for salvation and revival in Japan. – Phil Tanaka (used by permission)
