Today was our “Spiritual Gifts” seminar. We started at noon, and I taught for over an hour. Then we took a break and discovered that our water pump had quit working, so we had no water at the church. No one was available to fix it until Monday. We called to get eight porta-potties delivered, and we got them at 2:00 p.m. We started with 150 people, then dropped to 125 after the water loss. I assessed that the devil was terrified of the results of the seminar, so he wanted to break it up. He had a little success but not a lot. The Bible calls the devil our adversary. He fights against us and against what we try to do for God. But the Bible says greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. The main thing we have to do to win and overcome our adversary is persevere, pray, and rejoice. We did that today. It was a very good day, and many are motivated to serve the Lord more with their life and use the gift that God has given them. Today was my first time doing the seminar. I learned a lot, and the next time we do this, it will be much better. I bet the water won’t go out at the next one. I hope you can make the next one.
Glad for you and the many who persevered. I’m sure we’ll see the results of the seminar before long. 🙂
