The Fire of God

“…God anointed Jesus of Nazereth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good…for God was with Him” (see Acts 10:38)

We thank God who answers the deep desires and prayers of our hearts to see people not only accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, but also for people to experience the power of God that would transform their lives physically and even emotionally. Below, are a few testimonies of what we’ve recently experienced and seen happen when the fire of God came upon kids to change, transform and bring freedom to their lives.

Night Evangelism – Fire of God on the side of the street



(see Luke 1:37)

  After preaching about Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God, the Holy Spirit responded and began to do marvelous things. While praying for the fire of God to fall upon one boy, who had just surrendered his life to Christ, I asked him what he felt. Not knowing how to explain it, he said, “I felt”. Then he wiggled around while moving his hand up and down his body. I told him that was the power of God. Words of knowledge and prophetic words were given, and things were broken off the lives of other kids. These kids experienced the power of God in other “tangible” ways as well. For about 1 ½ hours these youth remained with our ministry team on the side of the street at night eager to experience the power and love of God that was being preached to them. They went home gleaming with the joy and a greater reality of their salvation.

Children’s Ministry – Fire of God falls in a village home

The fire of God was coming upon us while we gathered kids at one of the homes in Assumane Village. Victo was leading worship and we were having a wonderful time with the kids. But the children were being distracted and most ran off while our eyes were closed worshipping the Lord. We knew the presence of God was there so we continued. One of the few boys stayed and continued to worship the Lord and pray with us until the end. That was so precious to see. The Lord blessed him in a special way because he remained with us. This little boy also had pain in his knee. So, we prayed for him. He told us that while we prayed, all the pain in his knee left.

In Our Home - Fire of God comes upon us

One day, Chayah, our 2 year old, was suddenly afraid to go into the bedroom at night by herself. Instantly, I was aware that the fire of God had come upon us. This doesn’t always happen, but I actually felt my hands get really warm. I held Chayah’s hands and with the power of God upon me, I said, “You don’t have any fear. That’s not what you feel.” Now, if we are not careful we can think that it doesn’t make sense to say that to a 2 year old who was afraid. But, when we obey the Holy Spirit (love looks like obedience), His power is released, and things will be well. The power of God came upon Chayah and broke the fear. She went into her bedroom and came out. Then, suddenly she praised God (of her own initiative) and said, “I'm not afraid”. The Lord opened our eyes to see that our little 2 year old said those words with perfect awareness knowing that she was not afraid anymore.

Now, none of the testimonies above are the way we always get to handle situations with our own kids or others. Sometimes, the goodness and grace of God gently works through our kids over a longer period of time to bring about changes in them (or in us). These times are just as precious as the sudden release of the power of God that we’ve witnessed change attitudes and emotions in a moment. Nothing is too hard for the Lord.  People need help, healing, and transformation that only the power of God can bring. Please join us in asking the Lord to demonstrate His power in greater measure as the word is preached in Lichinga and beyond. Lichinga needs the holy transformation that is only possible through the power of God.

Nothing is impossible for God. Love,
