we thank you for the cross um
one would be an encounter with the
presence and the power but the other
would be an encounter with the word of
god and it happened in may
of 1979
and it was an encounter that i had with
the lord is very subtle
but i gave attention to it and it was
out of the book of isaiah i was reading
isaiah chapter 60
arise shine for your light has come the
glory of the lord has risen upon you
for behold darkness will cover the earth
deep darkness the peoples
but his light will appear upon you his
glory will arise upon you
and as i was reading that portion of
scripture the entire chapter actually
it just seemed to come alive and i felt
i felt like the lord was speaking to me
that this was a prophetic word for the
church in that hour
and and i just i stopped i stopped and
spent time there just
praying over reading it over over again
and again and again
and it just became alive and it’s it
wouldn’t be an understatement for me to
say
that experience not just experience
that scripture come alive to me it’s
affected
every day of my life since then it
became alive
it began to grow it says when moses
turned aside to the burning bush god
spoke and when i stopped and turned
aside to this
subtle thing that god was doing in me he
spoke and he’s been speaking ever since
