I don’t know what to write.
This was one of the most exciting experiences of my Christian journey so far.
It is easily the best Sunday I have had in years!

At the MBS fair I was struck by the openness of people, their desire to talk – but most of all I was amazed at how God was working in individuals lives, and how God used us on the stall. It was a privilege to be part of this and I wonder where else you can be where people just bound up to you and say ‘can you pray with me to be healed from …’. It was amazing!

There is too much to say and write; I have been buzzing for days about what I experienced. Soon people around me will get fed up with my talk! But it was really so exciting! If you know me personally and are going to see me soon – be warned I will probably want to share stories – so allow an extra half hour on our meeting time!

Comments we heard more than once in one form or another:
you can feel the peace of God/spirit/etc here in this place (we had a 2×2 metre area)
after prayer – I felt the Spirit moving in my life
thankyou for being here
I can’t believe you are all from churches

I prayed with people, God gave words of knowledge, Jesus healed, the Holy Spirit gave insights. Everyone who we chatted to was happy to be prayed for in the name of Jesus. Everyone we prayed with could recognise the touch of God. Some people even phoned up relatives to tell them to come to the fair and visit dekhomai!

The first person I prayed with was a reiki healer. After we prayed she said I was a more powerful healer than her, that I had a greater power. I reminded here that I had no power, and in fact it was Jesus doing all the stuff. She went away knowing Jesus had touched her and had more power than she was used to.

I prayed with a young woman who wanted confidence. I felt God saying he had created her in his image and that he was pleased and excited by what she was doing – these words brought tears to her eyes and were what she needed to hear. This allowed us to pray about other stuff.

While washing an American guys feet we started chatting. He was running a crystal stall and soon off to Glastonbury. At the end of our time I asked if I could pray in the name of Jesus and he gave me this long list with a ‘is that too much to ask for?’ comment! We prayed and God did something!

These were just 3 stories of many. The 10 hours whizzed by and I seriously can’t wait to be involved in something similar again.

The challenge, and in may ways, the heartache was seeing people we had prayed with going to other stalls. It is easy to judge in these circumstances – but I can only be reminded of the fact that God chose to work in and touch the lives of those individuals. If God chooses to work in some way, than I don’t think I have any right to judge what they do next. I think the correct response is to trust that God knows what he is doing.

It’s true to say that most people are shopping and just looking for an experience – but there were a significant number looking for reality and for the truth. I think many were surprised to find it at dekhomai.

So …the future. We are going to review what we have done here and I am considering pulling a few people together in Medway to do something similar at the MBS/Psychic Fairs we have hear – so if you are interested give me a shout!
