God moved in our Church in a mighty outpouring of His Spirit. Souls were being saved and the Devil was mad. Every morning we had prayer meeting at the Church. One morning when we showed up to pray there was a porno picture taped to the door. We tore it off and went in and had prayer meeting. Another morning someone put a stack of porno magazines in front of the door. We threw them away and continued on to prayer.
One Sunday morning I got to Church early to discover that someone had ritualistically cut up a rat in front of the door of the Church. While my wife and I were cleaning up the mess one of our Church members arrived and asked, “Brother Mark, what are going to do?” I replied, “As soon as we get this cleaned up we are going to go in there and have Church.” We can never let the Devil or the enemies of the Cross dictate what we do. This Church will march forward.
I remember well that time in our church, I was young but can still Remember what I thought that day. I thought wow if this little church in the middle of nowhere can make the devil so mad that he would send his people to try and stop what we are doing we must be near a breakthrough. I have fought many battles since that day and when it get's so hard I wont to give-up I remember what I learned all those years ago that the devil only fights those that are near a breakthrough I thank God everyday for my Pentecostal heritage.
