With that in mind, let me report to you that we had an AMAZING camp! It was not what I am used to as a frequent camp speaker used to emphasis on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, but awesome! The camp was marked with a spirit of prayer that fell on the students in a supernatural and completely spontaneous way. Not surprising, I noticed that the spark occurred in both services in a part of the crowd where a majority of Korean students were standing. They know how to pray! A few became like spiritual furnaces and the fire of prayer spread rapidly. Some were on their faces, others were standing with their faces set towards heaven, several were on the ground like mops (not just Koreans but Filipino's too), completely consumed and focused, unaware of anything else going on around them, wet with tears and sweat as they cried out.
Repentance, reconciliation, personal revival, fresh awareness of God, renewed commitment to God's Word... The list would go to 100+ things that God was doing. No man could take any credit at all. The line of those who would testify on the final night was long and the testimonies were incredible. And yes, even though we did not emphasize the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, we did conduct Prophetic Actions which accomplished big things, and yes, there were those who received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, spoke in unknown tongues and prophesied. God is amazing!!
Let me leave you, particularly my Pentecostal friends with a thought. It is amazing how much God can accomplish when we don't "push it"... when we let His Spirit take control. I think that we must admit to ourselves that sometimes for the sake of a perceived good meeting, we push it. Not only is it not necessary, but it robs us of the true move of God that He uniquely plans for every gathering. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we should not move in boldness, power and faith. But I am saying that our model is that Jesus said He only does what He sees the Father doing and that is also what we should do. Nothing more, nothing less.
