Blessing

Hey guys,

A large number of us didn't go to the Bible training. I want to share one great highlight. For the first time ever, we did something Mrs Finley called conversational prayer. One person in the whole group starts praying (each person just a few sentences), and when another person feels impressed to pray just go for it and every now and then someone starts singing a hymn and everyone follows. Tonight it lasted about 15 minutes. Tonight for the first time I nearly burst out wanting to say a prayer but unfortunately my introvert side won out.

When Mrs Finley talked about the coversational prayer, the feeling everyone gave off was "what??" That was a rather powerful closing to a night's meeting in my opinion. The Holy Spirit felt very near and quite honestly on the mrt I also started to continue praying. It was quite contagious. The spirit of prayer was the thickest I've ever sensed in my life and honestly it did not feel like 15 minutes. It was quite wonderful.

Reporting out,
Matthew
