The ages ranged from 16 to near 60 and there was no age segregation. When you spoke it was valuable and timely and very clear that it was something God gave you to say. The messages from everyone were given with clarity. That is a work of the Holy Spirit. We need more clarity in our faith and our message today.<BR/><BR/>You say it was edifying. This was not a teaching meant to produce a “camp high” it is transformational and only the Holy Spirit truly transforms. According to Strong’s the word used for edifying means - the act of one who promotes another's growth in Christian wisdom, piety, happiness, holiness. It is always used in connection with the Holy Spirit building up the body of Christ.<BR/><BR/>Then between the words attract and transform you use the word romance. What a great picture of how God draws us to Himself even when we are reluctant. I look forward to what else you may say to edify the Body as we meet again but even more so to what you may write about it after. You have a gift for writing.Dr. Terry M.

Hundreds and thousands of young people like yourself long to see Jesus in Holy Spirit presence and power like that we experienced over the weekend. You now see your cause - a cause worth giving your entire life to.<BR/><BR/>Even in death you nor I will turn from this Co-Mission with God. We are His alone! We will live until God is finished with us and no sooner.<BR/><BR/>I have never read any of B Manning. Where should I begin.
