On a cold, winter January night, we were ready for a wonderful evening of Holy Spirit's Presence in a fresh way. Everyone came excited and expectant and our expectations were exceeded. It is always very encouraging when you know that one (Ed) is sent at a certain time.
Of course, many here have known the special destiny for Bennington but when Ed confirmed not only that but declared that there has been a significant breakthrough for that, our hearts just rejoiced. Ed continued to minister in such freedom, humor and power. There was truly a building up and a refiring in people's hearts.
I think the thing that is most key is Ed's emphasis and lifestyle of living in and for His manifest Presence. This really exhorted everyone to "draw near" (permission granted) in order to create the corporate transformation that we so desire.
