Praise, praise, praise

Instead of writing praise report in the header like always, I had
to get a little creative(Praise, praise, praise is a song off the
live at azusa with Carlton Pearson)...
I was talking to my girlfriend the other night and she was telling
me how things were going in her church. Her pastor, Bro Chaudion,
was visiting his dry cleaner a few weeks ago, and invited him to church.
The man accepted and came. Afterwards they talked and the man said
he would be back. Sure enough he came the next Sunday. The pastor
and the dry cleaner went out to eat the other night and began discussing
things.
The guy wanted to know how to become a member of the church. He went
on to say that he wanted to know EVERYTHING about it, even how to dress,
because he knew in his heart that the church had the truth! Bro Chaudion
set
up some days to discuss it further. As the guy started to tell about his
past,
Bro Chaudion found that he was a past youth pastor of a big name preacher
that preaches on TV. The guy was a youth pastor of over 600 youth!
Well,
Bro Chaudion told him the plans of building a new church soon to
accomidate over 500 people. The guy looked at him and told him he had
better plan on a bigger church because he was going to bring in a lot of
people! This guy owns a lot of dry-cleaners througout where he lives and
has told everybody that works at them that if they had troubles in their
lives,
to go and visit Bro Chaudions church because he knows the truth and the
church is full of the spirit!
Now for the really neat part of all this....
At the beginning of the year, there was a tongues and interpretations
at Bro Chaudions church. What was said was, (paraphrased) there
would be standing room only in the church before the end of the year!
When I heard about this man and his eagerness to bring in people,
I could not help but think back to what was said at the beginning of the
year.
God is Great! I see more than just Bro Chaudions church growing,
I see the whole Apostolic movement encompassing this whole
earth in 97! Revival is going to explode forth new souls and everyone
is going to know the truth about the one true God! We are in the
endtimes
and God is pouring out his spirit on those that believe!
