On one of the Sunday's we were away from Center Point over the holidays, was to go with my Mom to our old church Dove Church Wilmington. We had been putting off going there for quite some time, mostly because we had no desire to miss Ray's preaching, and the people we have come to love so much at CP.
DCW does not have a pastor, the church has been led for several years by the elders of the church and I must say that they do an excellent job with the teachings, and they all have areas of concern in the church that they address with a certain level of expertise.
The Sunday that we did attend, they had a couple that had recently moved here from England and they shared their testimony and journey to DCW. It was truly an amazing testimony of patience and diligence to God and the vision that only He can instill in us and that only He can make happen. I wont go into all of the details, but after the service they asked if anyone would like to come up and pray with them, about 85% of the church went up to get prayed for and there were people laughing, people crying, people getting ministered to in various ways.
It was inspiring to see the Holy Spirit moving throughout the entire church. God was truly using this couple as an instrument to disperse the Holy Spirit.
Sunday night at our Small Group we discussed this along with the sermon about Revelations (which was once again wonderful). We prayed for the Holy Spirit to move in similar ways or even more intimately through Center Pointe.
I will leave you with this scripture and word of advice. John 14:14-17. If we ask God to use th Holy Spirit to sweep through Center Pointe in ever-changing way. IT WILL HAPPEN.
