I was feeling very lazy and prideful last week. There were a few times I didn't go to bed as early as I wanted to and I was going with the flow as far spending time with God rather than fighting and setting time aside for Him.
Wednesday, while our team was praying for the event, God was doing things in our hearts and speaking to many people on our team. Ashlly got the word: Heart-felt. PJ got the Word: Flood and a lot of people were feeling something that would be different from any other events.
At this time I was feeling on the outside with my desire. Like God was not the center of my life.
So I gave Him my feelings, worries and life.
Thursday we loaded in at a church in Atlanta. This was the first event for the January team and the August team was there more to just shadow and help out in any way possible to assist in the preparation of the January team in their jobs.
Friday marked the start of the event and a stirring in my soul.
Devin and I talked shortly after the end of friday night's events and long conversation short: God is speaking to Devin through His word, people and His Spirit and she was being told to do many things and in doing these things and obeying the Lord she was on fire, not literally but Spiritually. She was the most passionate I have ever seen her about anything and she wasn't joking around.
During this talk, the Spirit was pulling the desires He has placed inside of me out.
and was stirring His Spirit inside of me.
Since that night I have realized that I was not being aggressive about what I believe and my love with the Lord. The first thing I did was talk to people about what God was doing in their lives which led to PJ and Travis and I going off into a room and praying and reading the bible and worshiping God together. Daniel and Zech wondered in while PJ, Ashlly and I were talking about how to stir each others hearts and push our team toward God. And this spread throughout more people, throughout the night. God kept up a few people up later into the early hours of the next day to pray and get in the Word and intercede for the event and the lives of the people attending and working it.
Woke up Saturday after a good 3 or 4 hours of sleep and read Ephesians 3 and then Zech quoted 1 Corinthians 13, which he had memorized the night before.
I gave the day to the LORD, as if I owned it, ha. Then He gave me His joy for a breath and life and love and a new day.
I started Saturday doing the door count with Elliot and I was able to see every person who set foot into the church and greet them with the love of Jesus. It was honestly a blast.
Ashlly in her job on an weekend is regularly not able to pray with people because of where she works and this weekend she was able to pray with a girl who God was leading her to pray with and share a word God gave her. It was an encouragement to both of them and built the faith of us when we heard what God was doing in and through her life.
God was working in so many ways. During part of lunch Ashlly, PJ, Daniel, Zech and I went and read the Word and prayed and talked about what God was doing and how He was using us. We were all tired but were honest with and used the Word and each other for strength. The rest of the afternoon was spent asking, waiting and looking for Him and His opportunities to come to love and encourage people during our assistance to perspective areas.
Near Dinner, I was able to go to the youth pastor breakout and God was breaking chains I know not of and bringing new life to youth pastors. I was encouraged seeing weary youth pastors being encouraged. This is when I started to see how everything we do is for God and everything good that happens is a result of God and His hand at work.
I carried a stack of DVD's back to Kemtal's (our wonderful leader and preacher) table and when I set them down my back had a weird hurt in it. I thought little of it and continued to dinner.
Just after dinner I talked to Tiera and she was telling me the Lord was going to bring up Isaiah 55 that night. I ventured on into evening worship and my heart was not quite right but I asked God to come and He came through and captivated me. The people who were worshipping were stirring my heart to worship and the people who were not as engaged were burdening my heart to pray. So My heart and soul were being stirred either way and I got to praying like I have never prayed before. and the words were just flowing from the deepest desire I have known. John Gray got on stage during worship and started singing Isaiah 55 which, if you remember, was the chapter Tiara had said would come up in worship. Then in the nucleus of worship a former Acquire The Fire staff member came and spoke words I believe were from God. I have never had something this powerful happen and I know this is just the beginning. What an encouragement to me it was.
But that's not all, PJ was seeing this flood (remember the word she got?) that is difficult to describe. She got this picture of heaven and she couldn't stop laughing on the ground and after worship Ashlly had to help PJ up to her feet. PJ later told me, "heaven is so joyful."
The pain in my back increased and was more sensitive. This caused me to not be able to help with load out as I usually would. This week it was okay because it was the January team's event anyway, so they did the main work and during this time I was feeling as if I was in love and I realized, I was.
I am in Love with Jesus and I don't care who knows it.
This is amazing and I have a few needs and request's I would like to ask of you.
Can you pray for a few things?
1. I am in need of finances. I am supposed to pay $5,400 From August 2011 through July 2012. That is broken up into monthly placements of $450 and I am currently over 2 months behind. That sounds really bad because I am not sure if I am supposed to be on tour if I am this far behind but I am still here and I know God will provide. My goal, before march to be under 500 and by March 11th to be caught up. So here's how that looks:
I am currently at $2,072.11 and need to be at 3,600 by March 15th.
This is still 1.
Pray that God provides the finances an please give if you know you are supposed to.
Thank you for supporting and obeying God.
