Night of Worship

It was quite an exciting night last night, August 1, as we all gathered together to worship our creator. We had fasted, prayed and came with expectant hearts and spirits, desiring what God had in store for us. God showed up and we were all in awe, from our heads down to our feet. Just being in God's presence in that setting, with that hunger, was like no other. Its hard to put into words! In fact, it was such an amazing experience, no one can put it into words.

I have never been in such a place as we were last night. The church came hungry and we left full. There were hands raised, hearts filled, desperate pleas answered and tears flowing. All because Jesus is alive and well and living out His plan in our lives.

God spoke to each of our hearts individually and personally. He wanted to get us in a place where we would hear his voice and submit to the bigger plan he has for our lives. By fasting, we were able to hear his voice and sense his presence loud and clear. He was even more real and alive in my heart. As I cried out to him I knew that our love affair had just gotten deeper. He filled me fresh with his joy and love. There is nothing like a good dose of Jesus and his mighty power, just when you need it. He is so worthy of all of our praise and all that we give him. May our hearts continue to seek after him and his perfect will for our lives!
