AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!
Just had what could be arguably the best Sunday in 2010 (not many Sundays to choose from). The weeks just keep topping themselves! And God just keeps showing up! (Not that He hasn’t before, but there’s something different going on here in these parts.)
We kicked off Service Eve Synchronised Prayer with the worship team where every member that serves each Sunday comes together at the same time to pray in their own homes for the service the next day. It is entirely possible to get excited just by praying for 15 minutes during the same time with people who are like-minded. I’m not going to focus on whoever might not be participating, but I did get encouraging messages from my fellow Js about how excited they were about the following day.
I mean… EXCITED! It’s a new day and I think a real breakthrough! Personally, it was for me. I am so glad there are people on board with this and are desperate to see God move in a greater way within the region. It has to start with somebody. As a result, this morning’s pre-service prayer with the team was off the charts. When hearts are prepared and ready, God descends… there is no doubt in my mind when His word says that we shall find Him when we seek Him with all our hearts. I felt a breakthrough for pre-service prayer… it was just awesome.
Pre-service prayer isn’t about preparing oneself on that very day. It needs to improve in leaps and bounds and we need to get pumped up about the God we’re serving!
Other highlights of the day include ironing out some housekeeping with youth band, aviom tweaking, an honest sharing session with some people and awesome dinner. But most importantly, I finally caught the prayer train… it’s something that we can’t do without. I’m seeing evidence of that… thank God for His control over every situation!
We need to start committing things to God more… and pray without ceasing. He never disappoints.
