Dr. Paul Costa did not only minister to us here in Zagreb, but has also held seminars in Osijek and Bjelovar. And from both cities, reports of thrilled brothers and sisters came to us of all that God did through the hands of his servant…
Legs have grown, illnesses and bodily pains were instantly removed… All of that resulted in great joy both in those faithful and the wondering guests. Miracles are done so that people can wonder, and Joyful news is joyful!
However, we will stick to the seminar named “God’s glory” held during the last four days here in Zagreb. Four days, four services… We can say that Costa’s services were divided in two parts: preaching and praying for healing. The exception was the first night, when the apostle served believers in the gift of a profit.
Although the apostle did not know those he served as a profit, we know these people, and we were fascinated with precision and accuracy of the information that God was revealing to the apostle, and through him to all of us.
In our centre, at the beginning of each service, we usually read our thanks publicly, in which we give our thanks to the God for all the things he did for us! At last day of the seminar, numerous thanks were read of healings that have occurred in these past few days. Although Christians for years, many of us have, for the first time, seen such efficacy of prayers and such a high percentage of those healed. It was encouraging to witness the ease, assuredness and peace with which Dr. Costa served the sick!
God leads his people from glory to glory, from faith to faith, from victory to victory! On this seminar, it was just like that. Holy Spirit, while doing miracles, has GREATLY glorified our Lord Jesus Christ. As a result, and especially during the last day of the seminar, there were so many people, many of whom have, maybe for the first time, experienced how good and glorious is our Lord. God has really encouraged us with this seminar, refreshed and filled our hearts with joy and expectancy of all that is to come. If God is so powerfully among us now, what is yet to come??? Marvellous works that God has done to us are like large windshield-wipers, wiping the glass of the vision burning in our hearts for so long, vision of what God has decided to do in this region.
Thanks to Jesus, for we take part in such a mercy! We are aware that this mercy has been given to us, so we can share it with all those who have never experienced it and who, like a dry and thirsty earth desires rain, thirst after it!
“And He (Jesus) “gave” some, APOSTLES; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God…” (Eph. 4:11)
