The Impact Harvest Church retreat meetings in CA were “over-the-top”. This Asian church of “alive” and responsive youth amazed us with their love for the presence of God. The second night we had at least two confirmed healings where all pain and immobility was gone after prayer. The following is a report of our meeting on the last night.
The last night encounter – highlight of the trip
For 1 ½ hours we told stories of recent supernatural encounters. I showed my feathers, gold flakes, leaves, pics etc. Everyone was very engaged. Several times during sharing we stopped and told Jesus how much we loved Him and wanted Him. At about 9 PM I asked for those to come forward who wanted to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 12-15 responded. We prayed. Then it happened - over 3 hours of wonderful “holy chaos". I believe all were baptized in the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. Even those who had previous HS experiences were impacted beyond anything they had experienced before. Guys and gals had heavenly encounters. Rode animals. Flew. Talked to Jesus. Saw angels. Played in mountains of gold dust. It was very loud in the room at times. Many in the room shook. Froze. Fell. Were drunk. Laughed. Cried. Prayed for each other. Held each other. After the first 15 minutes no one led it. We just watched and blessed what Holy Spirit was doing. Loudness and energy in the room ebbed and flowed. It took on a life of its own. Nearly all of group of sixty were VERY impacted for about 3 hours – till midnight. Then for another hour we listened to wonderfully bizarre and emotional testimonies that were mixed with tears, laughter and love for Jesus. All were amazed at how good God is and His overwhelming presence among us. We dismissed about 1AM. They hung around until about 2AM before calling it a night. This God-encounter was one of the highlights of the summer of 2007.
We love and bless you
