Beautiful Testimony

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor” (Lk 4:18).

 Luis had no hope. He lived in a shack in the barren hills of Juarez, Mexico. He was unable to work because of TB and his children were starving. Our prayer team shared the Gospel with Luis and he received Jesus into his heart and was baptized in the Holy Spirit. Luis’s wife and children all experienced baptism in the Holy Spirit. Luis was completely healed of TB, got a job and has worked faithfully for the past 20 years.

If you do this consistently, the Spirit will become your intimate friend and he will make something beautiful out of your life.       Pope Joh...
