The second day of the Jesus Festival in Cartagena was on Sunday. In the morning, Pastor Henry Madava was invited to one of the largest churches in the city called “Comunidad Christiana la Uncion,” which means “The church of anointing.” He was sincerely welcomed by the pastor of that church Apostle Esteban Costa. This church usually has five two-hour services each Sunday, as the church building cannot host all the people just in one meeting. Pastor Henry was ministering in two of these Sunday services.
Pastor Henry was preaching about the calling and urged the church not to hide the anointing. He made an example of Gideon, who was hiding in a winepress although he was called to deliver the people of Israel from oppression. As Gideon did, the church should go out of hiding and accomplish its mission. To do this, all should use their gifts and talents. In the end, Pastor Henry prayed for the multiplication of anointing and for the healing of the sick. God moved in a tangible way in the church. Many people were touched by the power of Almighty God!
As in the previous day, the Jesus Festival at Plaza de Toros started with fiery dancing and worship. This time worship was led by the worship band from the church where Pastor Henry was preaching in the morning. The anointing of God descended from heaven and filled the arena. When Pastor Henry was invited to step on, the atmosphere had already been saturated with the presence of God.
Although there were less people in the arena than on the first night, God was moving among them in a powerful way. People had started to experience God long before Pastor began to pray. He was preaching that Jesus is ready to restore the whole man. Pastor Henry read again from the Gospel of Luke about lepers whom Jesus had cleansed. When Jesus touches a man, he touches his whole life. He brings a man back to life.
Jesus is here tonight to restore your dignity!
After finishing his message, Pastor Henry invited people to give their lives to Jesus. After the general prayer for salvation, new believers were invited to come to the stage where they received small gifts that were prepared for them by the organizing committee.
Then Pastor Henry prayed for the sick. People who had come in front, stayed there to be prayed for. It was time of God’s visitation to them. People were touched by God’s power all over the stadium. Many were healed and came in front to give their testimonies.
