This morning our Church had the privilege to host Giancarlo and Catherine Elia from the United Kingdom. They had preached in our Church before. Giancarlo is a former lawyer who praticeed law fro about 27 years before leaving his profession to minister to varous churches worldwide. Catherine worked in different industries in North America, Europe and China.The broad messages of both are God's love, God's presence and evangelism. Catherine shared that people our there are crying for God and many do not know Him. We as Christians, having God in us are to reach out to them in love. Many other religions recated with anger against those who do not believe what they do, but for us we reach out in love. She shared how she approached people in public places and how she prayed for them. Many accept her offers.
Giancarlo shared Zephaniah 3:17 "The Lord God is with you, and He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing”. God is with us and in us. We are to reach out in love for the lost. We have power because of the Holy Spirit that is in us. In John 16:7 Jesus said He had to leave otherwise the Counselor cannot come. Once He leaves for the Father, the Holy Spirit came to indwell in us.
The Gospel may be foolish to the world, but to us it is power. We are to share the Good News with others. Many out there are lost and they do not know what to do. In what ever professions we are in, reach out to others in love. It is God's command for us to share the Good News with others.
After both of their sharing, there was a time of prayers and ministering to the congregation. Many went to the front of the sanctuary to be prayed for by Giancarlo and Catherine. Many of them were "slained" by the Holy Spirit. It had been a wonderful work of the Holy Spirit and many were ministered in our congregation.
Praise God and thank Him for Giancarlo and Catherine Elia.
