God's role in a revival

God is present when we are gathered in His name. But in the case of Lighthouse United Pentecostal Church in Jackson, Tenn., God was present even when people were intending to gather in His name, but didn't. You see, Lighthouse Church was planning on having a revival on Feb. 5, the night that a tornado hit the church:
But the pastor canceled service because of the storm. [Pastor Donald] Lance has said, 'I just didn't feel right about having service.' The tornado hit at 7 p.m. The service had been set for 7 p.m.

Church board member Tim Britt said he believes that God spoke to Lance.

'Pentecostals don't cancel church,' Britt said. (Jackson Sun)


The tornado ended up toppling the church's sanctuary. While the church rebuilds, they are holding services at Northside Assembly of God. Lighthouse Church eventually hopes to get the OK to hold services in its gymnasium.
