Benedict M.

THIS IS REAL!

It happened tonight at 23.5X or so and lasted for about an hour.

It started with Jeff pleading for help and yelling in literal distress as he confessed that he wanted to die and was sorry that he never really loved any of us. It set a firestorm, for God used that person to break all of us and with tears and faith, joy and sorrow in our hearts, God showed us what unity meant. We all laughed with each other for the most part, but tonight something special happened. We cried and helped each other. While people were crying, I asked God what's going on. Then as I sat there with everyone starting to cry, I saw Angelo (Kuya Jell) behind me and with tears in our eyes, we cried and gave each other a hug and then prayed with people. Angelo, David, Dan T., Theo. Many people. My siblings were a bit distant from me, but we were all one and united. God's love and fellowship, His Holy Spirit is real, and so is the unity that are part of the people of God. This experience was there tonight.

Thank you God!

I couldn't help but smile and chuckle. I saw God work a few times. I stood on top of chairs to see how God was working and I saw pockets of people helping each other. And more importantly, almost all and most were on their knees huddled together and praying. God is here, I smiled. God is here. In my prayer, I repented and confessed, asking for forgiveness, and I said, "I love youGod." God is good, all the time!

THIS IS REAL!
