He Still Speaks and Moves

Yesterday before our church service started and after our pre-church service team prayer, I was prayingfor the service on my own with one- minute- thirty- seconds left on the countdown. I heard a voice behind me say, “Illy.”. I turned around and began to ask people if they called me name. No one near me on the platform had.

I turned around and smiled big in my spirit. I we reminded of Eli’s son, Samuel, in the Old Testament. The story is recorded in 1 Samuel chapter three. God was calling him; he responded back: ” Speak Lord, your servant hears” (v3). This was a thirty second download I wasreceiving and the outcome was awesome.

I started service and though I had always known the God was with me when leading worship, two things came to my mind and heart in those brief moments. One, listen to the Lord and flow in the Holy Spirit. Two, God was with me; God was with us. We had invited Him to come and meet us. We asked for an encounter with the Lord in our pre-service prayer and He met us. The Lord moved the entire service! He was there touching us and changing our lives and hearts. Folks, He still speaks and moves!
Thank you Jesus!

Song- Your Love (c) 2011 Ileana Reich

Title : Your Love


Verse One:
I’m running to my hiding place safe and secure
I reaching to my Savior’s arms, I trust and endure
Now I’m ready to climb the mountains
Now I’m ready to swim the deep seas,
Yes, I’m ready to face the giants
Because your love gives me peace

Chorus One:
Your love gives me peace
It’s your love that gives me peace
Stand and see the Salvation of God See the victory
Stand and see His mighty hand Covering you and me


Verse Two:
I’m coming to my secret place darkness has to flee
I’m standing in the holy place, Jesus calms my fears
Now I ‘m ready to walk in purpose
Now I’m ready to shout the victory
Yes I’m ready to face the giants
Because your love sets me free

Chorus Two:
Your love sets me free
It’s your love that sets me free
Stand and see the Salvation of God
See the victory
Stand and see His mighty hand touching you and me

Song- Nothing Too Great or Small (C) Ileana Reich

Verse 1
Bring your pain, bring your stains
Give them all to Jesus
Bring your cares, bring your doubts
Give them all to Jesus
Lay them down
He receives them all
Nothing is too great or too small
So bring them now

Chorus:
He healed the leper, made the blind to see
He walked on water and set the captives free
All things are possible to Him who believes
So bring them now

Verse 2
Bring your tears, bring your joy
Give them all to Jesus
Bring your praise, bring your gifts
Give them all to Jesus
Lay them down
He receives them all
Nothing is too great or too small
So bring them now

Chorus:
He healed the leper, made the blind to see
He walked on water and set the captives free
All things are possible to Him who believes
So bring them now.
