Sunday, June 22

I have been hesitant to write about last night's service, because I feel inadaquate to describe what it was like. So, please forgive me if I don't come near to giving justice to something too amazing for words. As the praise team was singing, I noticed that every song was about the holiness of God. As everyone was singing about what a holy God we serve, I kept thinking, "How could a holy God ever allow such sinful creatures to come into His presence?" Then it hit me clearer than ever that without the blood of Jesus, I could not come into God's presence! Gradually the worship began to shift from dancing and praise to crying out to God with tears and falling down in worship. Pastor Wayne asked if the Holy Spirit was speaking to anyone and hands went up all over the building. I think that I have been guilty in my life of saying, "the Holy Spirit was really speaking to me..." in sort of a casual way, but this was not like that. This was more of a prophetic anointing. Over and over again, students started sharing prophetic words that the Holy Spirit had spoken to them. I'm going to try to share some of them and if I forget one, please comment and let me know and we will correct it.

We cannot continue to do "just enough" and expect to see a move of God.

We can't continue in sin. If we want to see revival, we have to stop sinning.

God promises us that if we go out weeping, carrying seed (the Word), we will return with shouts of joy carrying a harvest of souls. We have to have a burden for sinners.

God is going to bring back the captives (those who used to be faithful, but have turned away).

Chains are going to fall off. This generation is going to see freedom come to those who have been bound by chains of sin.

I'm going to ask Kayla to post separately about the vision that God showed her, so that I won't mess it up by forgetting any of the details. Just know that it is coming and it is amazing!

After several shared what God had shown them, Pastor Wayne told us that God had given him a word to share with Keith and Joy. If you don't know, Keith was in a motorcycle accident last weekend and had some injuries that will require a lengthy recovery. This family has been faced with several trials lately and they need us to lift them up to God in prayer. God spoke to PW and told him that just like Pharoah increased the burden on the Israelites right before God brought them out of Egypt, satan was bringing attacks against this family because God is about to do something awesome in their lives.

Please continue to seek God daily and stay in His word.
