It was good to go home again, back among my own camp. When my wife and I pulled up and seen that big shield on top of Rhema Bible Church we just smiled and were ready to get the week started and see just what all God was going to do.
We arrived on Sunday morning me my wife and two dear friends, the place was already teaming with people and there was a lot of excitment in the air.
Monday Morning at 8:30 we were blessed to be taught by the RBTC Director from India, Rev. Nahari Thorat
Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center India, he said we could remember his name as "no worry" or "no hurry" he was on fire Bro. Nahari spoke of the dynamic work the Lord is doing in India and of the persecution of the people teaching the gospel and taking the mandate of “go teach my people faith”.
Then at 9:30 we heard from Rev. Fred Lambert
Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center Austria and then at 10:30 Rev. Lynette Hagin Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center USA spoke powerfully on prayer.
From Sunday night to Monday night Pastor Hagin, seem to step into a new anointing he was like a different man, powerful anointed preaching. Bro.Hagin ministered on the power of God and read from Acts and said we should be known not as generation X but generation "P" the power people.
Tuesday Morning up at 6:30 to get ready for another Holy Ghost day at WBS, at 8:00 we are going into RBC to hear from Rev. Bud Wright Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center Brazil, there were a great number from Brazil and Bro. Bud a truck driver from Culman, Alabama spoke, again anointed by the Spirit of God on the great things Jesus is doing in South America, and he said something that really struck home to me he said he would not hook up with someone or a group if they did not agree with the message he brought and that message is faith and what RHEMA and the graduates have a mandate to do “go teach my people faith” I would say that was the theme of this years WBS.
After Bro. Wright we heard from Rev. Joe Purcell
Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center Singapore, Joe graduated in the same year and class as I did, he was a lawyer when he came to RHEMA and when he graduated he went to Siberia, he said the question is how did a lawyer get to Siberia and haw can we get more of them to go.
Then 10:30 Mrs. Hagin continued with the topic of prayer and begin as the Lord directed to lay hands on people and pray.
Back at 7:00 with Rhema Singers and Band what a wonderful time in the anointing it was great to hear them again and the anointing that is still on RS&B.
Bro. Hagin preached again like a new man, I really enjoyed and looked forward to the ministry of Kenneth W. Hagin and I am so glad that RHEMA has a head that stands for what RHEMA is and to preach the word with power, he preached on the Blood of Jesus.
Wednesday we heard from Rev. Tim Rogers
Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center Mexico and Rev. John Grunewald Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center Germany and then Lynette Hagin.
Back for the evening service we were to here from Pastor Hagin the place was absolutely packed 5 extra rows of chairs in the front all the way around the platform every chair was filled and the room was charged. The church choir sang and the offering was received Pastor came up to the pulpit and spoke a little and said the Rhema Singers and Band would not be singing tonight he was told they needed to rest because they had been singing every night and were not used to like they used to be, he sat down the Rhema Bible Church Praise and Worship band started to sing along with the congregation Holy is the Lord God Almighty when that song stopped we started another song and one of the singers said…..”and now Pastor Hagin we honor you for 50 years of ministry” and the streamers fell from the ceiling and the stage started to turn into a celebration of ministry theme.
I looked at Pastor Hagin he had his hands up like “what in the world is going on” we had really surprised him Craig Hagin said “dad your not going to get to preach that message you have tonight, you know Bro. Hagin said he had a mothers day message he never got to preach now you may have a message you will not get to preach”
Rhema Bible Church Praise and Worship Leader Patrick Vandiver sings a special tribute song he wrote to honor Rev. Hagin for his 50 years of ministry. Among the lyrics were, “to the man who won’t be defeated; to the one who will not quit. . . .”
Here is the link to the special event page 50 Year Night on rhema.org at the end of the night when all the awards had been given there was still one more to give, the staff and Alumni of RHEMA and Kenneth Hagin Ministries had sent in offerings and bought Pastor Hagin a new car and we were all invited to go to the NRC for the reception.
It was a great night to be sure. And it was great for those who did not know just how much this man of God has meant to RHEMA and to Kenneth Hagin Ministries and to so many lives that have been changed, what a wonderful thing to see what can be done with a live dedicated to God and His will for 50 years.
God Bless You Bro. Kenneth W. Hagin
Thursday:February 19 the day started at 8:30 a.m. with Rev. Keith Higginbotham Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center Thailand then Rev. Mauro Girgenti Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center Italy from the Italian band the RBTC director from Italy, and at 10:30 Lynette Hagin
Back again at 7:30 for another special night of WBS because tonight we were going to have the presentation of the flags from all the countries that RHEMA has graduates ministering in all around the world, and many of the ones that carried the flags wore there native dress. First each state was shown as they were call out and the state flag was brought down to the front of the Church and after that each country from each hemisphere it was wonderful and very inspiring to say the least. After the presentation of the flags Kelly Duininck ministries and a group from the South Seas (my heart really longs to go and minister in that part of the world) came and performed two special dances of the Islands.
Then Bro. Hagin preached the Word with a strong anointing and prayed for the sick.
Friday, The final day of WBS 2009 it started with Rev. John Romick Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center Colombia , then at 9:30 Rev. Jim Andrews Director of RHEMA Bible Training Center Peru as always he was great, he gave a testimony of a lady in his church that he said always seems to find the worst of the worst and bring them to a meeting, this time she brought a man hat had been living in a trash container, he smelled bad and had open cuts on his hands and face but when she brought him in for the meeting Bro. Jim went over to him and just put his arms around him and hugged him moved with the compassion of God. A few days later as Jim was at home a knock came on his door he went to see a young man stand on the stoop he greeted him and the man said do you remember me, no I can’t say as I do the young man said I am the man you hugged the other night at Church, Jim said his cuts were healed and he was clean and his life had been changed by the power of compassion that came through him from The Lord Jesus. WOW
10:30 a.m.—Lynette Hagin ministered again wonderfully, she is a dynamic teacher and a truly gracious lady.
We broke for lunch after the last service and Rod, Cheryl, Donnia and I all went to a place we had seen on Drive-ins, Dinners and Dives in Vinita, OK, the name of the place was Clantons Café, the food was outstanding we all agreed it was the best meal we had all week, only don’t order the Calf Fries on the menu until you ask what they are...
(a word to the wise)
Back at 7:30 for the last service of WBS and let me tell you it was a “stem winder” as Dad would say.
RS&B started to sing an things begin to heat up right from the start, people were dancing and running and shouting like normal, then Bro. Hagin came up and greeted the people and said I don’t think we are done singing just yet, so one of the singers stepped out and begin I think it was Blood bought Church, and then all of sudden I see the ushers heading for the platform I looked up just in time to see Bro. Hagin come down and lay his hands on the first person he came to and down he went and most of the row with him, then he just began to go down the rows and to the right up to the middle rows and around he came by where Donnia and were standing and I felt his hand on my head and he had the other one on Donnia’s head and down we went and it took long time before I could stand up again but when I did, well I was still a little woozy and Pastor was up in the balconies laying hands on everybody.
By this time a group had grabbed Miss Lynette and she was being carried off the platform in a sort of a Hugh old time victory march with about 500 woman around her. The place went wild people were being healed everywhere, soon Bro. Hagin was back on the platform and he sat down on a chair in the middle of the platform then he jumped up took of running around all the way around the platform and when he was back in front he laid hands on the band and the ushers and the whole platform was either dancing or running or on the floor.
Then he raised his hands and said “there is a healing anointing in here” waived his hands at the audience and 3 or 4 rows went down under the power. After word he ask for people to come and give a quick testimony of what God had healed them from and many came tumours gone, growths and knots under the skin instantly disappeared, one young lady came and said she had a leg that all her life had been a good bit shorter then the other and as she was jumping and dancing she realized it had grown out and was the same as the other. What an awesome ending to a great week
Get ready for WBS 2010
The word “angel” actually comes from the Greek word aggelos, which means “messenger.”
