Never in my entire life have I been in a service more powerful than Sunday morning at the Apostolic Revival Center in Manning, SC. I've been in many great Apostolic services where the Lord did wonderful things. I've been to many awesome Conferences and God moved in a mighty way, but never have I felt the power of God so strong before this past Sunday morning. This past weekend, some members of my church and I went to Greer, SC to attend "It's Our Turn Now" Young Ministers Conference. This conference lit a Fire in me like never before. The preaching was so in depth and so powerful, It was impossible for me to stay seated. There was something in me that was breaking out. I can relate to Jeremiah when he said, "..But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay." I could not hold my peace, but I had to shout with my voice, clap with my hands, dance with my feet, and glorify the name of the Lord. Every service was at a high fever pitch, from Thursday night to Saturday morning. Brother Tim Gaddy preached a message that every Apostolic Pentecostal must hear entitled "I Have an Apostolic Obligation". You can download and listen to this message at http://www.scdistrict.org/ under the "It's Our Turn Now Downloads" tab. You will begin to feel a personal revival in your heart.
I returned from IOTN on Saturday evening. There was such an expectation that gripped me about Sunday's service. The morning finally came and I actually leaped up out of my sleep to begin my preparations. Something different was just around the corner for us. Well, we started our music practice as usual at 9:00am. We got through a wonderful practice and we began Pre-Service prayer at 9:30am. It was so easy getting to the throne of God and connecting with Him. As soon as I began to pray, the Holy Ghost came upon me and I was immediately praying in the Holy Ghost. I felt such a powerful anointing as I prayed and walked in the sanctuary. At 10:00am, Sunday School started. According to my understanding, the Adult Christian Education class could not get pass the opening prayer as the Holy Ghost took over. We were in our Youth Class and we could hear what was happening among the adults. 15 minutes passed and they were still being blessed. The youth class became so interested in what was happening, they cancelled their class and joined the adult class. The youth walked into a place filled with presence of Almighty God. Everyone was praying. People were worshipping, dancing, speaking with tongues, leaping, and rejoicing in the Lord. It was so amazing. They didn't just come and watched, but they got involved, they began to pray and lay hands on one another. They were crying, dancing, running, worshipping, and speaking with tongues. This was all taking place during Sunday School. This continued until the end of the service. Chains were broken, sicknesses were healed, yokes were destroyed, valleys were filled, mountians were brought low, the crooked was made straight, everyone was filled with the Spirit of God. Jesus worked a work in that place like never before. Never in my life have I witnessed a more powerful anointing that went so deep. Thank you Jesus! Everyone is in need of this experience. It is our job to bring lost souls to the House of God. The City of Manning is becoming a revival city. This city is so blessed to have Apostolic Pentecostals here that will pray and fast to bring revival to Manning, SC. The windows of Heaven are opened and the FIRE is falling. Open your heart and receive of the Lord. Troyce D. Mack
