[Worship] Easter-

["Anita Bergsma" <abergsma@kingdomcelebration.com>]

Yes, what a wonderful day!  Actually I can't remember an Easter day service
like this.  Before the service, everyone could feel the Spirit of God moving
and during the prayer time we asked the Holy Spirit to come and fill this
place.
Well, He did!!!  While singing we could just feel the presence of God with
us,everyone was dancing and singing and just worship and praising God.
After the message then youth came up and gave testimonies about the youth
retreat.The Holy Spirit was just pouring out on them while they at the
retreat But also while sharing.  Also a bunch of them were at TACF for the
Youth Conference.  They came back with this New fire for God.
Our pastor asked the youth to come up after the service so they could pray
for others.  I stood in awe and watched what the Lord was doing, it was so
awesome.  It was so Powerful!  It was a time of confession,  a time for
healing, and a time of being reintroduced to God's Amazing Love.
Needless to say, a bunch of us didn't leave until three o'clock.  We tried,
boy did we try!!  All I can say is
MORE LORD!!  Let your river flow!!!
