What Does A Move of God Look Like?

THIS IS AN ACCOUNT OF MY FRIEND'S TRIP HAPPENING RIGHT NOW:

LAST SUNDAY, GOD DID SOME AMAZING THINGS IN THE SMALL RUSSIAN SPEAKING CHURCH WE PARTICIPATED IN. HERE IS THAT ACCOUNT:

UNUSUAL THINGS TOOK PLACE DURING THE SERVICE.
FIRST THING, RIGHT AFTER THE PASTOR READ A PSALM, A MAN CAME FORWARD AND REPENTED ON HIS KNEES. HE SHOCKED EVERYONE. THE PASTOR FOLLOWED UP THE MAN’S PRAYER WITH A NICE PRAYER FOR HIM. THEN, 1/2 WAY THRU THE SERVICE, A COUPLE CAME FORWARD TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS TO GOD AND EACH OTHER AND FOR THE CHURCH TO PRAY FOR THEM. SO, PRAYER AND RECONCILIATION HAPPENED. PRAISE GOD! I SHARED THE WORD AND SO DID STEPAN, AND THEN WE HAD THE LORD'S SUPPER. RIGHT AFTER THAT A GIRL ABOUT 20 KNELT IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH AND REPENTED. THE PASTOR CAME DOWN AND PUT HIS ARM AROUND HER AND PRAYED FOR HER. HE NOTED THAT SHE HAD GROWN UP IN THE CHURCH AND HAD BEEN AWAY AND NOW HAD COME BACK. THE LADIES IN THE CHURCH WERE ALL CRYING AND THANKING GOD FOR HER REPENTANCE. WHEN SHE WENT BACK TO HER SEAT, THE CHURCH ALL STOOD UP AND SANG A SONG OF REJOICING AND ONE LADY JUMPED UP AND GOT THE FRESH FLOWERS OFF THE PIANO AND GAVE THEM TO HER. QUITE TOUCHING. EVERYONE CAME UP TO HER AFTERWARDS AND HUGGED AND KISSED HER. THIS WAS QUITE A SERVICE. REPENTANCES LIKE THIS ARE RARE IN THIS CHURCH.

AFTER THE SERVICE, I MET SEVERAL LADIES WHO PRAY ALL NIGHT THE LAST FRIDAY OF EACH MONTH FOR MISSIONARIES. WHEN WE SHOWED UP AND SPOKE, THEY ALL KNEW THAT WE HAD COME THERE AS AN ANSWER TO THEIR PRAYERS. WE ENCOURAGED THEM AND WE WERE ENCOURAGED. A GREAT DAY FOR ALL!

Augustine On Fallen Human Nature

This is taken from one of my theology textbooks. Read the words carefully because there is a lot there in so few words:
-----

In this important discussion of fallen human nature, originally written in Latin in 415, Augustine identifies the consequences of the Fall upon human nature. Originally created without any fault, human nature is now contaminated by sin, and can only be redeemed through grace.

-----

Human nature was certainly originally created blameless and without any fault [vitium]; but the human nature by which each one of us is now born of Adam requires a physician, because it is not healthy. All the good things, which it has by its conception, life, senses, and mind, it has from God, its creator and maker. But the weakness which darkens and disables these good natural qualities, as a result of which that nature needs enlightenment and healing, did not come from the blameless maker but from original sin [ex originali peccato], which was committed by free will [liberum arbitrium].

For this reason our guilty nature is liable to a just penalty. For if we are now a new creature in Christ, we were still children of wrath by nature, like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, on account of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead through our sins, raised us up to life with Christ, by whose grace we are saved. But this grace of Christ, without which neither infants nor grown persons can be saved, is not bestowed as a reward for merits, but is given freely [gratis], which is why it is called grace [gracia]. [...]

For this reason it is that those who are not made free by that blood (whether because they have not been able to hear, or because they were not willing to obey, or were not able to hear on account of their youth, and have not received the bath of regeneration which they might have done and through which they might have been saved) who are mostly justly condemned because they are not without sin, whether they derived from their origins or were acquired by evil actions. For all have sinned, whether in Adam or in themselves, and have fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

Notice the Latin terms gratis (freely or without cost) and gratia (grace or gift). Do you see a connection? What is grace?
