Preposterousness

I'm not going to bore you with the intricate details every night, because I know God is going to keep doing amazing things which I am unable to translate into an interesting post.

Suffice to say that tonight was similar but different to last night. The prayers were centred around claiming what is rightfully ours for His Kingdom - souls, abundance, everything.

Once I again, I prepared a few songs, but we went no further than I Exalt Thee. For just on an hour, we worshipped using the original lyric and fresh new songs of praise, worship, declaration, and prayer.

On the way home with my wonderful wife, I said it was a very different feeling to last night - when I felt revitalised, and thus had to stay up for hours (blogging, praying, sharing) to be able to sleep.

Tonight, I feel "refreshed and relaxed" - almost like having just had a really good Swedish massage. I will sleep well tonight...and again, I can't wait to see what God has in store for tomorrow.

Last night, after yet another hot day (just on 38C or 100-ishF), we had a cooling storm, bringing freshness to the air, some much needed non-humidity-moisture, and a gentle breeze. And our prayer meeting reflected this. The power of God working at the last 2 meetings made way for His Spirit to wash over us as cool streams, refreshing and reviving. Not that our thirst for Him could be quenched. The team did a beautiful job transitioning into something fresh for tonight after the last 2 weeks. PsG wasn't there last night as he's still in Queensland, but Pastor Peter did a great job overseeing everything, and while there wasn't quite as many people there as last week, we still had well over 100. Next week, the meeting is on every night. I have no idea what to expect, but all I want to see, hear, feel, touch, experience is my Lord. The songs (all Reuben Morgan/Hillsong) With All I Am Eagle's Wings - this was our main soaking song, 25 minutes, free worship between the prayers - new songs about God pouring out His love & grace, on Him being worthy, cleansing streams...ahhh This Is Our God - no matter how often we sing this, it is fresh and new

There has been a lot of prophecy around the world about 2009 being a significant year for all sorts of reasons. For our church, the pastor is believing it's going to be a watershed : a year we all look back on as a major turning point.
