Modern Day Stories like Acts

In Acts 2, 120 disciples were praying in an upper room & suddenly there was a sound of a rushing wind, flaming tongues of fire & all of them staggered out seeming to be drunk & prophesying in other tongues so that languages of many nations could hear. Peter told them that they were not drunk with wine, but with the Holy Spirit...

Over the past year here at the House of Prayer, the Lord has been pouring out the "wine of the Spirit" healing our hearts & freeing us from the fear of man. Each day before we went out to evangelize at UCSD, the Lord would visit us with the wine of His Spirit on our bus ride to the campus. We would be so full of joy that people were just shocked that we were so happy.

Two different days, 60 of us set up handdrums & guitars on highly populated areas & sang the same songs that the Lord has been ministering to us--"Now I have a purpose, Now I have a destiny, You made me for your Glory, You made me for your Glory!" We made up songs--"My God is a God who heals! (3x) He's better, He's better, He's better!" People would be so curious that they would stop & look, and many of them would allow us to pray for them, tell them the gospel, and people got saved and healed.

We were so happy & laughing so much that two students walked by & one said, "That's why we don't legalize weed..." It was like a modern-day version of what they said of the disciples. One of our students stopped them and said, "Oh no! It's not weed--it's the power of the love of Jesus in our hearts!" And she preached the gospel to them.
