Those were the words I had shared with our team of leaders in regards to the 24 Hour Lock In Prayer this past weekend. I've never experienced anything like that before in my life and I'm not sure if I will again!
If you know me, you know I like to be organized, structured, prepared as much as possible. Don't get me wrong we did prepare and do our part in providing the opportunity, environment, and tools necessary for God to do His part. From 8 pm on Friday thru 8 pm on Saturday, the Holy Spirit was in total control. We just went along for the ride and yup, we enjoyed it!
In each block, every 3 hours, God sent a Word thru a worship leader or a speaker. The atmosphere was saturated with His love, presence, and glory! God orchestrated every person and message and it was like He was sewing a quilt together. As each section or piece of the quilt was being sewn together it just kept making more sense and looking more beautiful and complete. And when its all over, what a beautiful sight to see.
There was time for prayer for marriages, children, healing, overcoming fears, and so much more. We finished strong and with Holy Commuion (not part of plan) but then realized it was His plan. The challenge to the people was not just to finish strong 24 hours of prayer but LIVE STRONGER through Jesus Christ everyday of our lives outside of the church building. Be the church in our world.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of the Heavenly Father, and communion of the Holy Spirit was there and is upon every life in this moment.
Enjoying The Ride,
Pastor Cecil
