Bilingual Spanish Church Service 12:30-3:30pm: Felipe, Gricelda, Israel & Yolanda
Israel preached on judging others and how it robs one of
peace in their heart. Yolanda, his wife, interpreted in English. What is
amazing is that the presence and anointing of the Lord is so tangible in the
bilingual services that men who do not speak Spanish come to the meetings even
though there may not be an interpreter for the services at times. Wow!
Felipe and Gricelda followed after Israel and Yolanda and
closed the service with prophetic ministry and opened the altar for individual
prayer. Many came forward to receive.
Inmate Emilio led us in worship at the end of service. Some other inmates felt courage to get up and sing a few
worship songs solo! One even sang a song he wrote to the Lord personally! The
Spirit of the Lord was definitely moving in a very tangible way.
Felipe, you and your crew are such a big blessing to the men
at the unit. They love you guys so much and are so excited when they here you
are coming. Thank you so much for supporting Smashing Pillars. I love you
brotha!!!
Saturday Night Church Service 7:00-9:30pm: Smashing Pillars covered
for Randy Sparks Ministries
Preached on two dreams I received earlier in the week. Also
taught on the symbolism and interpreting of the dreams as I shared them and the
message contained in them. Many men came forward afterward and shared how the
dream interpretation spoke to them personally, but they also knew the
interpretations spoke to some issues and challenges the church is currently
facing in the unit. I have been teaching on dreams and interpretation during
the weekly class at the unit. Many of the men are having dreams frequently now
so I felt the Lord was saying now is the time to teach on the subject.
Dream one, on the religious spirit and how it will rise and
come against when the Lord is moving in new ways, which the Lord is currently
doing in the unit.
Dream two, on how during times of change it is best to keep
one’s mouth shut for risk of bringing judgment on oneself by judging others and
also by risking judging what God is doing. The look on the men’s faces was
confirmation I was releasing what needed to be released. Praise God.
Officers allowed me to stay and minister until 9:30pm! The normal
time to wrap up and be out is 8:30pm. Miracle!
Praise Report! We are going into another unit this month!
The Lord has opened a door for Smashing Pillars International to being
ministering at the Goree Unit in Huntsville, Texas later this month in a
Spanish Church Service. Felipe Carrillo and I will be going in to minister to
these men and we are believing God to move among the men.
Two inmates who attended Smashing Pillars at the Wallace
Pack Unit were moved to the Goree Unit last year. During their time with
Smashing Pillars, they learned to hear the voice of God and to flow in the
gifts of the Spirit. When they were moved to the Goree Unit, it didn’t take
long for them to begin to put to use what God imparted to them and activated in
them during their time with our ministry. Today, the chaplain at the Goree Unit
has these two inmates go into the cell blocks to operate in their prophetic
ministries and many men are coming to the Lord who do not attend church, but
begin attending after their encounter these men of no reputation. Wow! Praise God!
Now the chaplain at the unit is making room for Smashing
Pillars to come into the unit to begin teaching. We have been offered multiple
days, but are going in prayerfully and are waiting to hear from God as to how
often He wants us to go in to the unit.
Keep us in prayer and please consider
financially supporting the ministry. It takes a lot of time and resources to go minister in the prison and will cost more with every unit added to the list. Your financial support is tax-deductible and you will receive a statement of your giving at the end of the year for tax purposes.
The Lord bless you abundantly!
