It started on Sunday 2nd March, when Senior Minister Colin Dye invited Elim Evangelist Gypsy William Lee to come to Kensington Temple for a 'Month of Miracles' - 30 days of revival services, preaching the gospel and praying for the sick. In that first month we saw almost 600 people respond to the call to salvation, and the Holy Spirit said, 'carry on' - that 'month' has now lasted two years!
In that time we have seen many people receive salvation, healing and other kinds of breakthrough. Some of those who gave their lives to Jesus are now ready to disciple others. One such person is Perry, he was saved at a revival service in Summer 2008 and graduated from Mastering Leadership 2 eighteen months later in December 2009. He says, "After I was saved I went on Living Free, it was a real experience and I realised that something had missing from my life - it was the joy of the Lord. When I finished Living Free I had a passion to put that light into other people's lives, going on Mastering Leadership have given me the tools I need."
Others who graduated at the same time tell how much their lives have changed by going to the Living Free and Mastering Leadership courses.
Patricia had tried to do ML1before but was busy at work not able to concentrate properly, so she decided to restart. She says, "I prayed to God as I wanted more of him. I realised that the plan of God is for my life is for me to serve him and to touch other people's lives - I am really excited about that and using everything he has given me to do that."
James has found that his relationship with the Lord has been completely revived by attending Living Free, "I was tired and felt disconnected from God but going through Living Free made my relationship with him real. On the Living Free weekend I cried out to the Lord, telling him that I wanted to be different - so in the middle of the night the Holy Spirit woke me up to pray, at 4am I was able to read the Bible and pray! Now I wake up early in the morning, put my feet on the floor and am ready to pray and read the Word. The Bible has become more interesting and I am getting so much from it."
Every week we have received testimonies from those who were sick or in pain and came to the revival services to be prayed for.
Jane says, "I had a pain in my ear, which had been really bad for about 3 days. I came forward and one of the ministry team prayed for me. By the next morning the pain was gone - and it hasn't come back."
Marcia found a lump in one of her breasts, "I came to one of the revival services where one of the ministry team prayed for me. When I saw the specialist they gave me the all-clear. Praise God!"
Many others have come forward to 'stand in the gap' for friends and family members who are sick or in need. They have seen to Lord work in powerful ways. Ola's sister had an issue of blood and had received 8 pints of blood in a transfusion but wasn't getting any better. Just before going to visit her sister she decided to go for prayer on her behalf. Ola tells us what happened after that, "the lady from the ministry team prayed for my sister and then said to me 'go and pray for your sister and bring back a testimony'. When I got to my sister she was still bleeding, I prayed for her twice and took authority over her sickness in the name of Jesus. Since then she has continued to get better and has not had any more transfusions. I believe that without prayer she would have died."
One evening at the revival service we prayed over cloths to take to those who were sick but not present in the meeting. Hannah took one of these cloths with her on a visit to Africa, "I prayed for a young lady whose eye had been swollen for some time. Within hours the swelling had reduced and by the end of the day is was completely gone and her eye was healed".
Anna also received a cloth at the revival service. She told us, "My mum went to the doctor and was diagnosed with cancer in her intestine. We started to pray straight away and I sent her the cloth that I had received at the revival meeting. Together we rejected, cancelled and nullified all the unhealthy cells in her body in the name of Jesus and claimed all the healing promises in the Bible for her. When she went back for further tests there was nothing there, the doctor said that the blood test showed that there had been cancer cells but they were no longer there."
On Sunday 7th March at the 7pm service we will be having a special celebration for 2 Years of Revival. Come along and join us as give thanks to God for all he has been doing among us in that time.
Remi (ML1)
At the beginning of this year I decided that it was time
to go to the next level, but kept putting it off - but it kept gnawing at me. I read "seek ye first" and realised that
I haven't explored everything KT had to offer. Right at the beginning I learned that the only way you move forward
is having people accountable to you and that really impacted me. I discovered that I wasn't in line with the vision - and so was disobedient - but now have a real passion to get my hands dirty with the cell vision.

Living Free has been full of encouragement. I learned my authority in Christ against the devil. I have already started my cell and between 25-40 turn up each time.
