Pastor Emmanuel ended up translating for Eric, and they were a dynamic team. About 2/3 of the way through his message, Eric broke away from his notes and began exhorting the people from his heart. Their hearts were open, and they received understanding and took hold of the truth. They clapped and shouted, “Hallelujah and Amen!” They saw the usefulness and purpose of the trials in their lives and were encouraged that God would bring victory. I felt the Holy Spirit come in power. As Eric and Emmanuel prayed over people, many were overcome by the power of the Holy Spirit and were falling back onto those standing behind them.
Then Pastor Steve took the stage and thanked Eric so sincerely for his ministry. He said that the message was very meaningful to him, personally. He also said that he felt like he was supposed to organize a revival for Eric to preach at his church (but he didn’t know Pastor Emmanuel already has him booked almost every night). Then he began to prophesy that he didn’t know how large Eric’s ministry was, but that he would reach the thousands. Soon, he would look back and see amazing things God had done through him. It was a wonderful reminder that when we are weak, our God is strong!
