The Name of Jesus is great!!!
Our day yesterday was amazing! I think for some it was a true experience and understanding of what "being the hands and feet of Jesus" means. We went to a local hospital ,one that the Richards have never been. They weren't even sure how or what it would like or even if we would be welcomed to be there for very long. We were there to have a party for the HIV patients in the area but let me tell you God had something way bigger than that in store. When we first arrived the faces of the people were cold and did not seem to really want to interact with us but by the time we left God had moved in mighty ways. We played games and shared stories and pictures and it was an amazing time but for most the most amazing time was before we were to leave they asked us to play some songs and so once again we were able to worhip God in song by the time we were done the some of the people were crying. This may seem like no big deal but in this culture they do not cry and for us we knew the Holy Spirit had moved. How can they hear if no one tells them.......they heard ....Praise God they heard. It is nothing that we did, it is nothing that we could have done, it was the presence of God. We then were able to lay hands on them and pray. The hugs we received afterwards were amazing. Then the director of the hospital's wife asked us to go around and sing to some of the patients.....did you hear that a we were praising the name of Jesus in a Muslim hospital. We sang in the name of Jesus to patients that may have never heard His name. We were able to place hands on a young girl who was very ill and very sick but more than that doesn't know Jesus and we prayed in the powerful name of Jesus. I know some reading must say why am I continuing to say in the name of Jesus because that is enough......there is power in the name of Jesus for healing and for reconcilation. Our day started out seeing the sick and feeling overwhelmed because we know there physical fate at the end of this disease but by the end of the day we saw differently knowing that without Jesus their fate of eternal life is greater. But we saw the Holy Spirit move today and we know without a doubt He is calling His people to Him and that is our prayer!! Today we will be working in a local school and looking forward to what layer is going to be peeled off today!! God is good!!! God is good!!! God is good!!! May all the peoples praise His name!!!!
