PRAISE GOD!!!! What a service we had last night! I firmly believe that each person present is still basking in God's glory!!! We had a Holy Ghost filled, Healing Service!! One of our members that has been battling skin cancer of the nose had an appointment this morning to biopsy another suspicious spot that had shown up on his nose. During our Spirit-filled service, we lay hands on and prayed for everyone present! When he went to his appointment this morning, the physician was amazed! The spot was completely GONE!!!! God let His healing powers flow through our dear brothers body!!! The Master Physician had already removed that spot!!!! We still serve a MIGHTY, HEALING GOD!!!! As Pastor Dale and I reminisced about our past with the Church of God, we recalled the way that they lay hands on folks. God's presence was always so strong. The individual being prayed for would hear one saint on one side of them shouting "Let go!! Let go!! Let go!!" while on the other side, they'd hear "Hold on!! Hold on!! Hold on!!" Unless you were raised in the church of God, you could imagine a spiritual tug of war! What they mean is "Let go of yourself! Let go of your problems! Let go of anything that would hinder your time with God! Let go and send up your praise and worship for our gracious God!!! And the other has just as powerful meaning. Hold on to God's mercy! Hold on to God's promises! Hold on to God's blessings! Hold on to God's word!! Hold on to God's plans for you to share His Gospel!! This is exactly what God was telling us so strongly with His presence last night!! Brother Paul spoke of His dream that witness the tremendous growth of our church, our denomination. His dream showed a building so crowded with saints worshipping and praising God that we weren't able to raise our hands due to the lack of room! We are holding on to God's promises!!! And we continue to bask in His Glory!! I pray that you will join us and experience this mighty blessing that God is pouring out on our congregation!!!

Basking in God's Glory!!

Rev. Jerry Ethridge & The Congregation of New Hope Christian Community Church
