Thursday, November 14, 2019 – Côte d’Ivoire
Our last day of Kingdom Bible School went into deep things of the Spirit, as we taught on the purpose of trials and how to overcome them through intimacy (Isaiah 43:1-5), the spirit of sonship that replaces orphan thinking, and the holiness of our God as displayed in Revelation 4. The morning culminated in an impartation of the fire of the Holy Spirit, led by Pastor Mary Pat. We prayed over each participant as Josh and Pastor Bill led in worship. Many people were visibly touched by the presence of God. Afterward, Pastor Bill led everyone in a joyous celebration of “The Enemy is Done,” and encouraged them to seek out the names of the Lord as their strong tower. While he was sharing, the skies opened up in a downpour that was so heavy we could hardly hear the microphone (a Biblical sign of blessing). We were also able to share the testimony of the village outreach the night before, and were given an update that the village chief had called that morning and reported that he could now see clearly!After serving everyone lunch, we presented the students with their Kingdom Bible School certificates, which were received with big smiles and lots of joy! After most participants had gone home, we shared with a small group, (including our friend Jeremiah), about Baptism in the Spirit, which led into a time of freedom, inner healing, and baptism put together in a way only Holy Spirit could orchestrate. To finish out the evening and complete our time of ministry here in Côte D’Ivoire, we had a sweet time of goodbyes and prayer with several of our ministry contacts and friends here. Once again, we could see the hand of the Lord as He orchestrated every detail so that every heart received what was needed before we left. We praise the Lord for everything He has accomplished this week in Côte D’Ivoire, and we are excited for our time in Ghana!
