Moderators John317 Posted May 19, 2009 Moderators Posted May 19, 2009 THIS IS FROM LINDA CAVINESS. SHE WROTE ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE LAST NIGHT IN LA. All during the month of May we have been having an evangelistic series in the Shrine Auditorium in downtown L.A. Last night and tonight were on the Sabbath. Shawn Boonstra, the It Is Written speaker, who is doing the series, kept saying all week that we need to pray specifically for these 2 nights because the Devil always tries to disrupt. The Shrine Auditorium is where the movie stars do the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) awards, but we have the site rented for these meetings. Tonight as Shawn drew the meeting to a close, he asked all who wanted to commit themselves to allegiance to Christ to please stand up. As soon as we all stood (there were 2,000 present and most of them were non-SDAs), a sizeable earthquake began. The timing was perfect! The building was shaking and everyone just stood there. Immediately, Charles Haugabrooks and the female singer asked everyone to sing with them. Hands went high into the air in praise to God for sparing us all. And the audience just kept wanting to sing and praise God. It was amazing! On the news tonight, this earthquake has dominated. Everyone keeps calling in and saying, "I can't believe this was just 4.7 on the Richter. I was in the Northridge quake, and this was equally as bad, yet we don't have all the damage the way we did then." It was quite a happening. It made me think about what it must have been like when Christ died, and the earth shook. This time, it seemed God was saying to everyone--I am He who controls all, and I want my children to recognize my authority and my love for them. Everyone left the auditorium praising God and deeply moved by what happened--spiritually and physically. What an experience! Linda Linda B. Caviness, Ph.D. Professor School of Education La Sierra University Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Key Guy Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Wow! It's exciting to see God working in more powerful ways before our eyes. We hear about these kinds of things in other countries. I am thrilled that there are so many responding in an American city. Praise Him! Quote
