House of Grace Church Opens Their Spiritual Gifts

CBN.com Jordan: “Jesus is our King, our Savior, our Healer and our Father.”

Taylor: “I’m learning how to dream dreams and see visions.”

Ashton: “I love Jesus because he brought me into the world. He’s our heavenly daddy and his love will never change for me.”

Conner: “God is awesome!”

Kellie: “I stumbled up on the Spiritual Gifts Webcast about a year and a half ago…”

“I was watching God TV and they did a segment on Isabell Alum and it really sparked an interest in me because she was talking about how you can operate in the prophetic even if you weren’t given a gift for operating in the prophetic or you didn’t think you had a gifting. So, I wanted to find other things that she had done so I just Googled her name, and it pulled up the Spiritual Gifts Webcast because she was teaching on there.”

“Then I noticed that that’s what the Webcast is all about! You know, it’s just a whole webcast filled with teaching people how to activate and begin operating in the gifts. So when I then went and saw the first one, it was on ‘soaking’ and I had never heard of soaking – never knew, I did not even know of the concept of soaking. I watched the second one that they ever did, and Gordon was teaching on moving in the prophetic gift. And it was very simple – I actually made notes from it and shared those scriptures… I mean I pretty much did the same lesson with our kids.”

Kellie: “One of the things I loved about the Spiritual Gift Webcast is when people felt very timid about something, Gordon would just sort of put them on the spot and push them past their comfort zones. So, if there was ever a time that Marguerite or one of the guests would hesitate if Gordon was saying something – and he’d say, ‘Do you believe God can do that?’ And they’d say, ‘Yeah, sure of course God can do that.’ Then he’d say, ‘Do you think He could do that through you?’  You could see it! I was like, ‘Oh, he’s got ’em! He’s about to make them step out and do it!’ Because then they’d be like, ‘Yeah, He can use me…’ and he’s (Gordon) like, ‘Okay, well get ready. Let’s do it!’ And I loved it because I’ve always been that timid person that’s just scared to step out there.

Doing it with the kids has actually helped me a lot. That’s been my motivator or my push because I can’t take them where I’m not going. And so, if I’m telling them to pray for people during the week and bring back testimonies; if I don’t have a testimony myself, it kind of makes me look bad. I feel like I need to lead by example.”

Kellie: “We started out teaching about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I just thought, ‘Well, if you want to move in the gifts, you need the baptism of the Holy Spirit. That’s the first step.’ There’s probably now 90% of the kids now are confidently, they confidently pray in their prayer language.”

Kellie: “We went from teaching about the baptism of the Holy Spirit to teaching about healing. They began to pray for their parents at home if their parents were sick. They would say, ‘Well, can I pray for you?!’

Anthony: “‘I said, can I pray for your head?’ She said, ‘Sure.’ And then I prayed for it one time and she said it was about 7… before she said it was about 7, I said, “It’s going to be a scale of 1 to 10.’ She said, ‘is 1 better or 10 better?’ I said, ‘10’. And then I prayed for it one time. Then she said, ‘It’s about 7.’ Then, I prayed again, and she said, ‘It’s 10. It’s completely better.’”

Brooke: “This picture of this foot just flashed at me. And I went to school and I went to Miss Rogers and I asked can I go pray for this girl outside the class? She said yes so I prayed for the girl. I asked her to go back up and walk back to me and she was so wowed and her face was like, ‘Wow!’  She said, ‘It’s 100% better.’ She was feeling great. The next day, she came back to school without a cast or without a wheelchair or anything.”

Kellie: “We really have some amazing kids in our program. They are hearing from God themselves.”

A lot of them are experiencing things that maybe even their parents aren’t experiencing yet. I’ll just throw out the question, ‘What is God doing in you? How do you feel like you’re growing, spiritually?’ Without fail, someone will say, ‘Because I’ve got my prayer language. Because I can pray in tongues, I now know how to pray for someone.’

 One thing that began happening after the kids were baptized in the Holy Spirit and we began talking about praying for people for healing, is – in the church service, they began to just… when an adult would go to the alter they started just… I mean, no one ever said, told our kids, you can go pray for them – they just started doing it. They became so confident in it, that they would just go down there and just start gathering around them and praying – in the Spirit!

Kellie: “I believe that the gifts are very important to this generation. Our kids are looking for the supernatural and that intrigues them. When they begin to experience for themselves the power of God, and they have experienced God healing through them – when they get to college or out of the home and mamma’s not there to make them go to church and they have professors telling them there is no God – they’ll say, ‘What do you mean there’s no God? I’ve seen Him heal. He talks to me. He’s spoken to some others through me.’ They’ve encountered Him. They’ve had more than information about God, they’ve seen the power.
