Sunday, I taught my Sunday school lesson that blessed me so much. I prayed that I would say and do the things that were pleasing to God. I think it worked because I was filled with a type of electricity when it was all over. I cannot remember when I have been so charged up when I was finished with that lesson. It was not what I said as much as the video that I showed with music. I felt that there was a complete reverence in the room. The first clip was about the Seventh seal the lamb breaks in Revelations. The text said,” 1When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Revelation 8:1″ Wow, someone made a joke and said that there are no women in Heaven- there could not be silence for a half hour.” I don’t think some of the women liked it, but it did break the tension. The second video I used was about the rapture and the elect that Jesus will collect in the post tribulation. There is much controversy about the pre and post.

After that I showed a video of the Cardboard testimonies – what power for that. It finished and asks the question – What if we were your welcoming committee in heaven? Powerful it came from God Tube Weekly Top Ten Number 1 Someone said that a fellow preacher had everyone in her congregation write on an index card their testimony front and back and lay it on the alter at the end of the service. How powerful this short video was. This is Living Bold….

The last video was a video of pictures that I put together of Jesus with the music from

Hoobastank: The Reason

I’m not a perfect person
There’s many things I wish I didn’t do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I’m sorry that I hurt you
It’s something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That’s why I need you to hear

I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]

I’m not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I’ve found a reason to show
A side of me you didn’t know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Like I said I left the church and felt like the Holy Spirit had filled every part of my being. That’s what you are supposed to feel like when you have practical teaching and personal ministries. That’s how you grow spiritually. I still get that electrically charged feeling when I think about it even a day later.
