The prophecy that was uttered from the beginning, РІР‚СљPreach the Word, I will pack the house,РІР‚Сњ became rhema (alive) to us because God had filled the building until we were almost coming apart at the seams. When Rhema reached five years of ministry, we had grown from nine members to over 500. The Word says to be careful how we entertain strangers, for many have entertained angels unawares. Where did they come from? Where did they go? Your guess is as good as ours. They refused pay and said, РІР‚СљJust praise the Lord.РІР‚Сњ They left just as mysteriously as they had appeared. They said that they were bricklayers and would help. Two men walked up to the wall and asked if we were having a problem. We needed to lay a brickcorner column for an 800 pound cross beam to rest on for the support of the upper structure.

The driver said, РІР‚СљWhat am I doing? IРІР‚в„ўm not supposed to do this.РІР‚Сњ But he did.Р”Р„fter the footing for the basement was completed, we ran into a problem. The Lord began to move on his heart, and before he realized what he was doing, he had unloaded the beam.

The driver asked, РІР‚СљWhere is your crew?РІР‚Сњ He was told, РІР‚СљYou are looking at them.РІР‚Сњ The crew consisted of two men. He was only the driver and was not allowed to lift or load, only drive and collect. When the driver arrived with the beam, he made it clear that he was a union worker. There was no way, except by the Holy Spirit, that she could have known of RhemaРІР‚в„ўs dire need. He laid it upon a ladyРІР‚в„ўs heart to call a day before delivery to donate a $500.00 savings bond. Praise the Name of Jesus! After Sunday service, the Lord blessed us with over $600.00. When we ordered the beam which cost $750.00, Rhema had only $100.00 and the beam was to be delivered in one week. The brick column stands with a beam resting on it. The inspector said, РІР‚СљWhen spring comes the entire building is going to fall.РІР‚Сњ We rebuked that in the Name of Jesus. Who said you canРІР‚в„ўt lay bricks in temperature below 32 degrees? Tell that to Jesus, because Rhema did just that. he came back with a good report that we could expand left, right and one story up if the foundation was solid.

The architect was asked to double check to be sure before we started ground breaking. During a Bible Study, the Lord gave Pastor Givens a vision of the building expanding to a side contrary to the architectРІР‚в„ўs instruction. The architect said we could only expand to one side. As Rhema grew, it was necessary to expand. One year later, the Lord had packed the house again. People were standing in line (around the corner) to hear the Word. Our little fellowship now had thirty-five members.Р”В®arly in 1978, the Lord made available the property at 4915 Sargent Road, N.E, The fellowship continued to grow and eventually as God had promised, He had packed the house again. Chairs were brought from the dining room and kitchen. The Word continued to go forth in power, and after several months, the Lord filled every available seat in that lower level. After his message, he confirmed a previous prophecy: РІР‚СљPeople from all over the world will know of Rhema.РІР‚Сњ He accepted the invitation to come and share the Word with Rhema.

He was in town to speak for a Full Gospel BusinessmenРІР‚в„ўs Fellowship meeting. When Rhema was approximately six months old, our first visiting evangelist was Michael Henry from South Africa.

Everyone who was present heard or saw the angels coming into the meeting or leaving the meeting. God came into our midst in a marvelous way to the extent that the entire church fell under the power.Р”Вuring another service, we had a visitation by angels. One Sunday night Rhema was holding a prayer and praise service. The first baptismal candidate was baptized in the backyard swimming pool. Oh yes, a bar! If God could glorify a cruel cross, what more could He do with a bar? Previously, all kinds of spirits were served from that bar, but now, only Holy Spirit-filled lessons from the Word of God were stocked there. Rhema held its first worship service in the lower level of the PastorРІР‚в„ўs home. and Doris Givens walking with their baby, Arvel E.
