Manna~Fest

If you get this program, Manna~Fest, you probably already have heard this show in the series. It is hosted by Perry Stone, and he has featured his father, Bro. Fred Stone several times. This one really grabbed my attention. Hope you enjoy this quick outline. The series airing now is called "Supernatural Encounters in the Last Days."

Bro. Stone, Sr. told of an incident several years before where he had a special visitation of the Lord. He was on his knees praying and the Holy Spirit came upon him so mightily that he was allowed to look into Heaven. His inner man was taken up and he saw a great Library full of huge, beautiful books. One was titled, "The Mighty Acts and Words of Jesus". This book contained Christ's preaching that was not recorded in the Bible. John 21:25, which is the very last verse in the book of John, says "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written."

Bro. Fred found in this particular book, for instance, the Sermon on the Mount. The Holy Spirit put into the Bible what He wanted us to read, but there are millions of words and sermons of our Lord Jesus. Many preachers get so inspired today as God pulls some of Jesus' teaching and people will marvel at some of this preaching. They ask, "where did that come from?". It's like our Pastor tells us, the Bible is an endless stream of God's truth! To think the King of Kings would give us His divine Words of Life, what a precious gift is ours for the taking! Awesome!

God is no respecter of persons, we only need to hunger and thirst after righteousness. Bro. Fred Stone, Sr. said we should be true to God always, no need to worry about the ups and downs, the sweet times and the sour times of life. This dear man of God, now in his late 70's, talked about how quickly his life had passed, seemed like no time at all. Always keep the Lord first and stay true to Him and His Plan for our lives because we are going home soon. We will see those we have loved and gone on ahead, we will see the Holy Angels, and we will finally see the wonderful face of Jesus, who loved and died for us, and lives evermore!!!
