"I Saw Jesus"
By Daniel Martínez, february 2019
Hello My Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
I would like to share a short testimony of my encounter with the Holy Spirit this past Friday, 02/01/19. This past Friday I was invited to a prayer and communion session in Azusa California. I had taken part of the Holy Communion at this meeting called Shabbat Shalom. I had never taken communion like this before, even after being raised in the church. But, I have taken communion before, on Friday it was something different and I knew it was different because Jesus showed up and the Holy Spirit moved powerfully in our midst. As Roberto was speaking he said to go back 2000 years ago and sit at the table of Jesus, I close my eyes and pictured myself sitting among the disciples what Jesus as they took communion. There was something very powerful in just thinking that way. As we took communion I felt an overwhelming presence of God in the room, Jesus had stepped in and was amongst us as we took of his body and drink of his blood. When I took bread (His Body), I was reminded of how He was broken for us, for our transgressions. Next, I drink of His blood (The Wine), as soon as I drink of His blood I was immediately filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit began giving me revelation after revelation, I knew that immediately chains had been lifted and broken in my life. I believe many times the church doesn’t experience this type of movement because way to often in todays church, the Holy communion is taken very causally, but at this moment, we experienced what the disciples had experienced. We need to believe this way. I experienced God in a more intimate way. I have experienced the Holy Spirit before, but this was something so different and something so supernatural. When we were done taking communion we started praying and after about 4 minutes or, so I open my eyes and I saw the rest of the group on their knees. After I had seen this, I had closed my eyes and started praying and as soon as I started praying, I saw before me two legs and two feet. Right away I knew why they we're on their knees, it was because Jesus was in the room with us. The legs and the feet I saw were those of Jesus. I immediately fell to my knees and bowed in the presence of our Savior. We started praying some more and the Holy Spirit begin to activate our spiritual gifts to another level, I believe each of us that were there had an increase to what had already given us. I asked myself why God showed up, in the scriptures it says to seek God and that we will find Him. I knew God revealed Himself to us because we came with an expectation and we came with a hunger believing that God was going to move during this time of prayer and communion. I believe that this is what God wants to do in the church today. He wants to reveal His power and Glory and activate the gifts of the Holy Spirit in all of us, so we can go out and make disciples of all Nations. The amazing part of the testimony is that this happened the day I started my first prayer session with Metamorfosis. I believe God is raising up a people, a group of not just believers, but a group of willing believers who are ready to answer the call of God. The call to set the captives free, the call to lay hands and heal the sick, the call to cast out demons in the name of Jesus and the call to glorify and worship God with our lives no matter what the cost.
