My First Time Preaching

Wednesday I had the chance to preach the word of God to the youth group. I preached on Isaiah 53:5,6. Under this blog is a summary of what I preached on. And let me tell you, for my first time I think I done a good job. Its amazing what God has done in my life. The presence of the Lord was felt as I preached on "Jesus Paid The Price". I look forward to what is in store for me. A couple of months ago God spoke to my heart.....something i would have never thought would happen to me. I realized that my calling in life is to be a preacher!!! I wuz so excited and nervous Wednesday. I asked my friend V. if she would sing "Let It Rain". It is amazing how things work out, it had been raining for a while and as the praise and worship team was getting ready to start, lightning hit one of the churches air conditioners. They asked us to go to the main sanctuary. I was so disappointed. I had been so excited all day and I thought " I cant believe this has happened". Right when I thought that I started thinking about how it was the devil trying to bring me down. I kept saying in my mind "The devil IS NOT going to bring me down". It seems like just seconds later Bro. Johnny came in and said we could go back into the Youth Chapel. We went in and the praise and worship team played "The Enemy Has Been Defeated" and "Let It Rain". The presence of the Holy Spirit was felt as they sung these wonderful songs. Bro. Johnny (my youth pastor) introduced me as the "special preacher" that they had been telling people about. I am proud to say that the enemy was defeated as I preached. The annointing of the Holy Spirit is awesome. I cant explain the feeling. I cant hardly wait to preach again!!!
