In fact, Jesus is all he talks about which is something he never did before. He was a heroin addict and wanted nothing to do with God. This week he began asking to be filled with the Holy Spirit. On his way back from church today he began shouting and asking for the Holy Spirit. He specifically said that he wanted to speak in tongues. Please pray for him, that God would give him the desire of his heart.

As someone who has had early onset dementia affect a family member I know what you are facing and am praying for both your father and you. It is wonderful that your father has given his life to the Lord before this disease has affected his mental state to the point he would not be able to make that decision.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
