Brad says the presence of the Lord was there, and I can believe it. That, my friends, is an "assembly", that is "Glory in the Church". When a random and seemingly disparate group of people can drop all the differences and gather in the Lord's name, and together beseech Him, extoll Him, praise and thank Him, and call upon Him for further salvation and provision and the going on of one of their own, that is "the kingdom and the power and the glory", forever and ever amen.
And part 2 of the story, when the local LSM "facilitator" decries any experience apart from the aegis of Lee to be "of Satan", and the young brother says, "thank you very much, goodbye" and walks out. Wow. Very dramatic, very arresting. Even humorous, in a dry, Isaiah/Paul kind of way. Brad, wherever you are out there, amen, brother. Peace to you and thanks for taking a minute to share part of your story.
God is wonderful. Praises and thanks and honor and glory to Him forever and ever amen.
