Bible study of I Corinthians 12

Bro. Bobby Reese Jr. welcomed everyone before Bro. Went Miller preached a beautiful sermon. He's got a country way of talking that makes things simple and understandable and at times the sanctioning drowned out his words! Sis. Dianne Riggs opened the service for testimonies after Bro. Went finished preaching and we enjoyed testimonies from Bro. Lester Click, Sis. Marsha Miller and Sis. Lauren Goodman. Bro. Ed Rodgers gave a compelling altar call before we closed our meeting with prayer around our altars, as we always do.

Mariola Cosby all testified before we came forward to pray together. Sis. Mary Davis prayed a beautiful and strong prayer that touched us all!

Bro. Bobby Reese Jr. ran the meeting. Sis. Nancy Collier welcomed everyone before Sis. Harriette Ferguson PREACHED! As Sis. Jeri Hartley said later in the service "I've never heard a woman preach like that before! She's a keeper!" Everyone was moved by Sis. Harriette's spirit and enthusiasm. Sis. Becky Collier opened the service for testimonies and we heard from Bro. Gil Bates, Sis. Polly Reese, Sis. Diane Lamberson, Sis. Jeri Hartley, Bro. Paul Copeland, Bro. Lester Click, Sis. Mildred Davidson, Bro. Allen Davidson and Bro. Bob Reese Sr. before Bro. Tommy Collier gave a stirring altar call. He invited people watching on the internet to kneel by their chairs and to repent to God and to kneel again and ask God to put His spirit into their hearts. It was awesome!

Bro. Bobby Reese Jr. preached a firey sermon. Sis. Charlotte Temples from Jacksonville, Florida opened the service with a beautiful testimony. Bro. Derrick Williamson and Bro. Jonathan Jernigan (both from Evans, Ga.), Sis. Rita Cline, Sis. Lauren Goodman, Sis. Marsha Miller and Bro. Johnny Mills all testified before we closed with prayer. When we called prayer Chuck Seaver, a man who has been attending for several weeks, came forward to pray. He told me that he was tired of not feeling close to God and as we explained sanctification to him he started crying and his eyes got wide at the deliverance message that we gave him! We gave him some Bible chapters and verses to read so that he can see it's in God's word and understand what he will be praying for.

On Sat. night Sis. Carolyn Mills preached at the beginning of meeting. Bro. Mike Welch opened the service and we enjoyed testimonies from Sis. Janet Keldahl, Bro. Bob Reese Sr. and Sis. Marsha Miller before Sis. Kelli Miller closed. When she asked for other testimonies we heard from Bro. Allen Davidson, Jereme Reese and Sis. Jeri Hartley.
A few minutes later during the invitation song Jereme went forward to the altar with his sister, Mindy, and started praying - praise God! He was soon joined by Robert Aman (Marie Davidson's husband) and there were tears going down and prayers going up around the altar as we all surrounded these two brothers with a wall of prayer and faith. They both claimed God's forgiveness when they stood up and we all went home with our hearts lifted.

On Sunday morning - after a good Sunday School - Sis. Chrissy Welch welcomed everyone and opened for testimonies. Bro. Bobby Reese got out and... well, he preached! Robert and Jereme were both sitting near the front and enthusiasm in the meeting was high. We also heard testimonies from Sis. Diane Lamberson, Bro. Tom Lamberson and Bro. Marvin Davis before I called altar call. Robert came forward and prayed through to entire sanctification! Jereme wants to be sure he is ready to give God 100% before he prays through, he said, and we are praying that God will continue to draw him and work with his heart.
