Sunday, July 10 | Here in Your Presence

Letter From Steve Dulin | July 2011 Hello everyone,At our July Habitation service, we did something unique. Our plan was to have no plan. We felt the Holy Spirit encouraging us to lay aside our ideas and allow Him to lead the service. So—with the full agreement of the leadership team—we heard God, we believed Him, and we obeyed Him. We opened the service with praise, followed by testimonies, prayer, ministry and worship. As we went deeper into the presence of God, the Holy Spirit showed up in some awesome ways. Many stated that they could actually feel the weight of His glory. Here is what a few attendees had to say: “Blown away by what God did tonight at the #Habitation service! Healing, wholeness, freedom, anointing … God showed up and showed off!” (Rachel, via Twitter)“The presence of God is thick tonight @GatewayPeople. I heart Habitation.” (Amber, via Twitter) “Nothing like having your world rocked by the presence of God at #Habitation. For those of you who were there, you know what I mean!” (Zac, via Twitter)“Habitation tonight blew my mind away! God’s presence was so prominent and the Holy Spirit filled the place with love, favor and blessings! Thank you all for an amazing time of worship.” (Raiza, via Facebook) “I watched (Habitation) online. Amazing service, amazing testimonies. God is ALIVE!!!” (Ana Maria, via Facebook)During the service, we shared some of the testimonies we have received. (Watch the Service) God has moved in some awesome ways—from healing people of Stage 4 cancer to setting people free from lifelong addictions. We encourage you to read the testimonies online. (Read Testimonies) If you have a testimony of how God has moved in your life through the Habitation services, please send it to us using our online form or email it to testimonies@gatewaypeople.com.
