I liked it because of the "assembly" he cited, which is the reality of the concept you have been discussing.
There were 40 young men in an Air Force training platoon. One of them lost his brother and 3 friends in a car accident. 18 of these young men joined hands and prayed, one by one, to ask the Father for grace for this young man, that he could find the strength to go on. Brad, who came from a local church background, felt God's 'parousiea', His presence, so strongly during the asssembly that he later testified about it in a local church meeting.
His testimony was panned; they were busy at that time flogging the "rainbow booklets".
18 young men, from across the country, seemingly with nothing in common except that they are Air Force recruits, praying together for one of their own. They besought the heavenly Father, based on their faith of the saving name of Jesus. It is very rare to hear of meetings in the name of Jesus that are apart from the corrupting influence of some christian organization. So I am always happy to hear that such assemblies of God's called-out ones can, in fact, occur.
