Fire on Rochester, MN
We have been praying for an open door in Rochester MN for the last one year. The Lord finally answered our prayers and it was time to go to Rochester to visit and strengthen the brethren there. Setting from Omaha, NE, five of us (Apostle Larry Odoy, his two nices Gloria and Justin, and Dina and I) set off on a six hour drive.
On the way, we worship God, praised him, prayed and shared the goodness of the Lord with each other. It was a very significant time of fellowship with one another but also fellowship with the Holy Spirit. In several occasions, the Spirit of the Lord would draw us into deep prayers. We prayed for Revival in Midwest, and also we interceded for the Church we were visiting.
Upon arrival to Rochester, we parked at a gas station to wait for Pastor Augustino to come and accompany our team to the hotel. The time was 7:30 PM, Friday, march 18th, 2011. Again, we felt the grebe of the Lord and and his awesomeness in the car. Some of us began to weep, while others pray or worship. This was amazing! We knew the Lord was going to visit Rochester with such power. Apostle Larry actually said, “We are here in Rochester to raise an army of the Lord,” when that happened. Though we did not completely comprehend the magnitude of what is to happen the following day, we knew many people were going to experience the victory of the Lord. By the time we went to bed in the hotel was around 2:00 AM. This was a wonderful night for our team to just fell0wship together.
The team was up early Saturday morning to prepare for ministry for which we came to Rochester. We made little contact in the morning to give each person enough time to rest or have individual time with the Lord. However, around 12:00 PM, we were on the road to visit some homes. Each of the homes we visited, the Lord showed up mighty. The last house we visited remained vivid in my head to this day. As we began to pray, breakthrough happened in that house in an usual way. I even heard the tormentor leave making some angry sound as the family was completely delivered in Jesus name. I almost did not recognize the lady from that house later in the Church; she was glowing!
Around 8:15 PM, a Church hall was packed with people coming to worship the Lord and encounter God. It did not take very long for the atmosphere in that whole to change. The Lord confirmed his word “When two or three are gathered in my name, there I am I,” (Matt. 18:20). I was the first speaker to teach on “Dreams and Visions – and their Interpretations.” By the show of hands, upto 90% of the audience have had dreams. After I finished teaching, Apostle Larry was the next speaker. Praise God for the message he preached. Many people got blessed by the message. After Apostle Larry’s sermon, our team together with group of servants of God in MN ministered to individual needs.
People who came sick were healed as the power of God run through them. In fact, there were numerous healing that happened. It was a glorious to see the power of God touching people in various ways. I remember three girls standing and waiting to be prayed for. As I approached them, one of them said, “I do not want to fall. Please do not make me fall.” I explained to her, I do not have the power to make anyone fall. However, right there, I asked Jesus that when I prayed for them, the would not fall. Praise the Lord! The girls did not fall when I laid hands on them and prayed for them.
My wife and I held a dream interpretation room where we counseled many based on a dream the Lord has given them. Most of those people came out rejoicing after knowing what the Lord was saying in their dreams. Apostle Larry and his nieces held a prayer room. The Lord also showed up in the prayer room. By the time we were finishing praying for people and ministering, it was 7:00 AM. Demonization issues were also dealt with, and the individuals were set free! Indeed, Rochester, MN, and the Fruits of Holy Spirit Church will never be the same again.
We returned to our hotels, slept for four hours before getting ready to begin our trip to Nebraska. I thank God for Apostle Larry, Gloria and Justine for joining us in this trip. Thanks to Pastor Fathi Fadul who joined us from Minneapolis, MN. Surelly, the Lord is raising unto himself an army of young people in MN, but also in other parts of the United States and in the Nations of the World. To God be the glory in Jesus name! “Amen.”
