Accomplished dream

Before, I already talked about my dream that I want to accomplish but once again I have to thank God for everything that he already given to me :D. So I want to share 1 experience, I have a dream since 3 years ago that one day I want to see Benny Hinn preaching live. I have heard about his story, about his ministries, how God work in his ministries where there's a lot of healing. Last year, I also bought his books titled Good Morning Holy Spirit which was some about his biography and some about his encounter with Holy Spirit. I never asked this to God in any of my prayer but I keep this inside of my heart. 3 years has been passed by without I realizing it, the closest one that I've been heard about his ministries is about 1.5 years ago where he was preaching in Jakarta (Indonesia). It was really great when I saw the clips on his website. So back to topic, in the end of last summer one, I read that Benny Hinn is going to preach in linch church on South Bend, IN about 1 week before the school start. Without any hesitation I changed my New York Trip plan into a shorter trip since I want to attend it. Okay, driving from New York is very tiring since I'm the one who do most of the driving and most people fell asleep when I'm driving. To be honest, driving 12 hours is really fun !!! Then after talking with Ivan + Otiz + Pamelia, they decide to come along, oh boy I just realize that I need to use US 31 North for 3 hours to go to the South Bend, IN. We arrived over there around 20 to 5. The event start at 7 o'clock and I already find people waiting in front of the church. I saw a lot of sick people waiting in the row. Okay then, since I have soar throat on that day, I asked them to wait while I bought some water from gas station. After I came back to the church, the number of people has been increased a lot (it was only 20 minutes difference). Thanks God, Otis and Pamelia are still in the front so we don't need to wait in the back. While we're waiting, there's some people praying in group for His presence during the whole event. It was really inspiring to watch native American people praying since they're always so serious and sometimes they shout when they response to the prayer. Well, what can I say since we're Asian tends to less responsive than them, they're really serious and not ashamed to say Amen even though it was in the public. Then I said to Ivan and the others, if you have a chance run and go inside, try to find the most front seat you can find and hold for the other people. At 6:45, they open the gate and we're trying to pass some old people in the row and thanks God we seat about 4 seats from the most front. Thanks God for that, the event start with music team from Linc church, I must say that they're impressive especially on the song "Now that You're near". So finally the one that I'm waiting for shows up Pastor Benny Hinn. He start his service in unique way, he always invite Holy Spirit to come and fill the whole space. They said he never change the song or this methods since the beginning of his ministries. After that he talks about his experience being invited by middle east countries to preach over there :D. Then most of his subject was about Holy Spirit, who he was ? What is his goal ? And many other things. The was he explain it was really I can't say, he talks as if Holy Spirit was his best friend and it was true indeed. I never meet this kind of preacher whose life start to change 100% because of Holy Spirit alone and how Holy Spirit lead him to know about Jesus everyday. Well, I stand in awe listening to him and open my mind + heart to God. Well when he was about to finish, I asked Ivan what time is it and it was like 10:15. I was like, Oh my God time flies so fast :D. I didn't even realize he already talks for 2 hours :D. It feels like he only talk for 20 minutes. Then in the final, he start to pray and sing a song, then all of sudden there's a lot of healing happen without he need to put his hand on the people or what. After that he start to called those people who feels that they receive healing to testify in the front. The feeling is totally different with those that you watch in TV, you can see those people who receives hope, their faces expression that shows how grateful they are. For some of them that night is their last hope. Pastor Benny even said that he didn't expect that there will be any healing happens on that night since he was only a guest speaker not on crusade mission. Well, this one is a memorable night, after the service done, we want to go back but the rain was really heavy. Some people pray in the front doors and I said to the the rest, let's just wait inside for 1 hour. Then God really shows to us that He is a God who listen to His children. The rain become really2 light, thanks God for that. But the problems isn't over, I was really tired and suddenly in the middle the rain become heavy again and apparently there is a thunderstorm around us. I just said 1 little prayer, God protect us and we sing the song "My Redeemer lives" Wah, that song is really powerful but our God is more powerful, even though I can only see about 1 meter in front but I feel really safe and after we drive for 1.5 hours (avoiding a lot of accident and thunderstorm), the rain totally stop and thanks God for that :D. All of us arrive at home in safe condition :D.
