GLORY BUMPS 2

Glory Bumps have been on my radar before. I even alluded to them in last week's teaching.
Glory bumps are precipitated by an awareness of God’s involvement in those incidences in our lives with a spiritual connection. A goose pimply feeling which one experiences when a God-ordained incidence touches her heart and often spreads to others within hearing distance of said experience.
CO-incidences are seen by the world----as a chance encounter/happening.....but believers are taught that the prefix "CO" stands for Christ Ordained.

I experienced "glory bumps" this morning as I shared with sweet Debbie Park, our church receptionist, how the Lord had orchestrated my 2015 prayer list for Allen Bible Church.
Admittedly, there are many directions which prayers can take, but God....began a work (Philippians 1:6) in late December/early January as I prayed about my annual "list." A privilege I have enjoyed since the church plant 10+ years ago.
I sought spiritual guidance for specific verses to pray for ABC. All of the verses selected were from the book of First Thessalonians, particularly chapters 4 & 5.

In April, after Easter, ABC's pastor, son Buddy, began a new series, "Exalt Still More," a study in I Thessalonians. As I have listened to his on-line sermons, I have heard him preaching from many of the verses I had already been praying for his congregation----since January, no less.

Sharing this experience with DP produced major "Glory Bumps" for me.
Photo simulation---Debbie just rubbed her arms.

Contagious glory bumps.

Debbie "caught" those glory bumps too.
