Holy Spirit Seminar, Toowoomba (Feb 08)

170 people from different churches in the city and beyond, packed St. Bart's Anglican church on February 3 for the Holy Spirit Seminar presented by Dr Edgar. We could feel the sense of expectation even before the participants began to arrive as the prayer team gathered. This team was a mix of St. Bart’s members including their pastor, two more pastors from different churches, Living Grace members and church members from across the city. The music team set the tone for beginning worship and we could feel the Holy Spirit’s presence among us.

After the first presentation, The Word Alone Is Not Enough practically the whole assembly came forward to the members of the prayer team for a time of consecration and rededication and infilling of the Holy Spirit. It was also a time of getting to know each other over a cuppa prepared by the members of St. Bart’s. There was again a sense of anticipation as the music team led us into the next segment, waiting to hear what the Lord had for us through Edgar. The further topics presented were: This Is For Everyone; Will You Still Serve Him; The Foolishness Continues; The Battle Is On; This Is A Gift.

It was truly a Spirit-filled day. There were several testimonies of the infilling of the Holy Spirit, healing and some received the gift of tongues. Even after it was over, people didn't want to go home and lingered for prayer. We thank God for such a great day and His presence among us in the person of His Spirit, and the gift He has given us in the person of Edgar.
