Workings of the Holy Spirit

Back in January, a young couple came to our church who had just moved here from Galveston, Texas. In that service he dedicated his life back to the Lord. On the next Wednesday night, they came to bible study and she told Mike that she was Mormon and wanted to talk to him about salvation through faith. We also found out that they were not married but were living together. In the next couple of days, his father died and he traveled back to Texas for the funeral. While he was gone, Mike talked with her about salvation through faith and she accepted Christ as her Savior!! Praise God!

Last week, they asked to meet with Mike and told him that they felt God was telling them that they needed to get married. Wow!! No one in the church had talked to them about this but we were praying that the Holy Spirit would work in their lives and that they would let Him. And they did!!

Introducing Mr and Mrs Jamin Silva.....

They got married on Sunday (a week later) and the church ladies had fun decorating and planning them a little wedding. Joy did a fantastic job on the cake!

What was so neat was that a member had made a statement in Sunday School the week before how he couldn't see evidence of the Holy Spirit working in his or other's lives. It didn't take God long to show us that He IS at work and the evidence is seen when people obey what the Holy Spirit leads them to do. Jamin and Kaitlyn wanted their family to be there but because of the circumstances, they couldn't wait for them to come up from Texas so they plan to have another service with the family later on.

Praise God for using them to be such a wonderful example of obedience and remind us that yes, the Holy Spirit is ready and anxious to move in our own lives!
