Miracles

To start off this post Mary woke up this week, looked outside and saw an angel. She said that she thought it meant this week would be one of spiritual encounters, and it was.

Our topic was the Holy Spirit and Evangelsim, and ironically we experienced both during the teaching. The teacher was Jari Koivu. A Finnish man, who runs a ywam base in Canada. He taught us about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and many other things.

Tuesday he had given us stories of going out to the streets and healing people. That night we had two visitors (Christopher and Christian) who taught us how to heal in the name of Jesus. They led us in a prayer meeting, and we saw our arms and legs grow, as well as Mary get fully healed of her peanut allergy. It was miraculous. We could feel the Holy Spirit in that room with us.

Thursday we had our open meeting. During worship, the presence of God filled the room and we were all jumping, clapping and singing "Yes, Lord!" It was the most powerful worship session here yet. After Jari spoke, we were led in another prayer and healing session.

Jari finished off his speaking with evangelism. That night we chose to go to a place in Siilinjärvi that is open for youth to hang out on Friday nights. We had fun and got to share with the kids why we were there. At first they seemed uninterested, but maybe that was because they spoke Finnish(I can't yet), but when it came time to leave, we told them we were going to the free Church and eight of them came to join us. There we got to show them our dramas, connect with them on facebook and bless and pray for them when they left. They seemed way more interested toward the end of the night. We prayed that the God would show himself to them.
It was a very successful end to a very powerful week.

This week we look forward to hearing from Pekka Puurunen about relationship. Starting off the week on Valentines, or Friendship, Day.
