Errors on blog posts

Dear friends:
IT has been brought to our attention that there are some typo’s in some of the text sent out covering the 4 special dedication services. We apologize for these errors. Many locals participate in driving up the blog posts and some editing was overlooked.

Final dedication service Sunday 13, March 2011

TOM AND ELIZABETH DEDICATING THE NEW TEMPLE TO OUR LORD

THE VERY EXCITING TALENTS OF OUR BROTHER IN CHRIST JUANITO BLESSING OUR LORD



NOT AN UNUSUAL SCENE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON

ALMOST EVERYBODY IN ATTENDANCE ON SUNDAY WANTED MORE OR GOD INCLUDING CHILDREN

SUNDAY MARCH 13 2011 THE LAST OF FOUR MIRACLE SERVICES

My family and all of our leaders expected miracles during the four dedication services; however never in our imagination did we expect what happened.
Sunday was the final dedication service.

The Church was filled to overflowing with people standing in the aisles. Indeed many had still not arrived. A non official count put the crowd at 400. The word had gotten out that there was something special going on at that new temple.
When the coordinator called the service to order a large shout of joy rang out and at that point the Holy Spirit took over the service. People leapt with joy, tears began to flow, when the opening scriptures were read and the opening prayer said, there arose an ovation for God that I have never heard of that continued for a good five minutes. I knew then that we were in an extraordinary place and time.

Juanito played the praise and worship music and once again the front of the alter was packed. The Holy Spirit moved on almost all of the people who were present. As the tears flowed, the cries out to our Lord intensified. Hundreds were dancing for joy, many were on their knees praying their hearts out, and many were slain in the spirit.
Our praise and worship, usually goes for about 40 minutes, not this day, it was some 2 hours later that Pastor Manny began to preach. Preaching on the miracles of the Holy Spirit drew out the blessing that flowed from the Holy Spirit compared to worldly things. Again he exhorted the gathering to come to this Temple and watch how God is going to use it. Combining his preaching with playing his trombone moved the Holy Spirit in a stronger way. Pastor Manny prayed for some who had never had prayer, two hundred people moved forward at the altar call to receive Jesus. Many were healed from illness, at one point we counted 130 laying on the floor filled with the Holy Spirit.

The service was scheduled from 3:00pm till 6:00pm however it was close to 9:30pm when we walked out of the Temple. We give God all of the praise, honor and glory. Elizabeth and I are now convinced that God is going to use this Temple in a supernatural way, all of the time, and we believe that a revival, of a supernatural nature will take place.
Please pray along side of us, as we move forward that God will continue to show us the way, that our spiritual eyes, ears and heats will always be open, please pray that God will keep us humble as we continue to reach out to those lost in sin.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS REORT AND MAY YOU ALL CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE THE FULL BLESSING OF GOD’S GRACE AND LOVE AND IF FOR SOME REASON WE ARE NOT ABLE TO COMMUNICATE BEFORE JESUS RETURNS THEN, WE WILL SEE YOU ALL IN HEAVEN.
SINCERELY IN CHRIT
TOM, ELIZABETH AND CHERYL LEIGH ALLAN

Dedication services continued

We used many forms of advertising and promotion this is just one of them.

Two different music groups were used in the Friday and Saturday services, all of them played local Church music using a variety of musical instruments. There was a lot of jumping and dancing for the lord in those two services.

A praise and worship team from an indigenous area , Chimaltenango, about an hour north of where we are, played some awesome music on Saturday night, that moved people to bow in adoration to Jesus,

Another praise and worship team from a Church in Guatemala City, that has played on the street, at one of our street outreach activities, touched the hearts of all present.
My family and I have waited a long time to see this dream come true. Praise and worship music bouncing off of the walls, ceiling and floor and melting all hearts present to Jesus.

Of course what would we do without our dear friend in Christ, Juanito (Hallelujah!), that’s what he shouts out all the time while playing and singing? There is such a bond between our congregation and Juanito that the minute he touches and instrument the Holy Spirit begins to move. Juanito played on Saturday and Sunday and we just know that our Lord was blessed.

We have more for you to see and read, over the next several days. Keep a look out for them. We want you to understand what God is doing in your Ministry and Mount Zion Church in Guatemala. A most exciting time with our Lord sorry so many could not join us.
Blessings

Pastor Erik: From Costa Rica, Preaching another powerful word in the Friday night service.

For the Friday night service the Church was only 3 quarters full


The Holy Spirit began to move in a special way in the Friday night service.
Many new people showed up from the local villages for the Friday service as well as folks from Guatemala City. We sensed that something was just beginning to move.
Stay tuned for the Saturday and Sunday services.
We trust that you are being blessed by these reports.
Blessings

Four special speakers and several music teams were invited to help celebrate the dedication of the new Temple.
Pastor Manny from the Dominican Republic, Pastor Erik from Costa Rica, Brother Max from Canada, Brother Dale from Atlanta Georgia, Pastor Ulin of Guatemala, all preached powerful words of God, The Holy Spirit moved in an extra ordinary way during the 4 services. As the blessings flowed, the crowds cruched to the alter for more,men,women and children were slayen in the spirit and they came back for more.
We believe we are on the threshold of a revival. Not surprising as God showed me in a vision that there would be multitues comimg up the mountain roads to receive a blessing of the Holy Spirit. A prophy was given the Church on Saturday night by Pastor Manny that the Church needs to prepare for what is to come. We are preparing!
As you will see by the picures that the crowds increased from the first service on Thusday night to an overflowing crowd on Sunday afternoon. When the alter calls were made human masses surged forward.
We are all richely blessed by this unusual movement of Gods Spriit. Needless we all want more.

4 Special dedication services for the New Temple

NEW TEMPLE DEDICATION SERVICES
The foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv. In the eleventh year of the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. Solomon had spent seven years building it.
1Kings 6:37-38.
I can relate somewhat to what Solomon went through, building the Temple. We first saw the land 15 years ago, but the man who was working his corn crop told us that he would never sell his land. During the next 15 years we saw and inquired of many sites on which we thought we would build the Temple but nothing ever transpired. One day talking to a very close friend about the need to build a temple, he said that he knew of a piece of land and took me to it. When he stopped his car it was in front of the land we first saw 15 year ago. Obtaining the land was the easy part.
The enemy came up against us for the next 5 years as we began the construction process. The journey through those valleys was a process of relying totally on God for everything. The greatest lesson was learning of His patience. As He worked to slay the enemy in our path, and as he turned hard hearts that were against us to loving hearts for Jesus.
I know how Solomon felt when the Temple was finally finished and dedicated it to our God on High.
