Ah... awesome, awesome God......
Had a sense God wanted me to go for the prayer meeting instead of YCCF and prayed about it throughout the day 'cuz my heart wanted to go for YCCF - however there was a strange sense of something compelling me to go for the prayer meeting instead. Suddenly there was a feeling of weakness that made me feel, "Lord, I need You, I need to soak in Your HS tonight".
And so I went.
And it was awesome... I was so blessed by the Spirit and the 3 blokes (James, Taffy and Ben) were absolutely encouraging and open. There was spontaneous and free worship, we had a drum set, guitar and grand piano there so we just played with the Spirit flow, prayed spontaneously, sang spontaneously, jumped danced knelt sat whatever! It's been ages since I went for a prayer meeting, think I'm gonna try alternating it with YCCF since they're always having it on Fridays. Oh but it was great... there were so many answers to my prayers for the week, just words of encouragement or prophecies spoken through them, and they were precisely what I needed to hear - exact images that course through my mind are picked up on by someone and given to me as encouragement, the specific prophecy that my mom spoke and prayed over me a week ago was echoed again by James. and everything seemed too surreal to be true, too...
uncanny. It's like when all you've been hearing over the past week just comes crashing upon you on one single night and it's God's voice saying,
Listen, listen, listen to Me. It's still too surreal to swallow, need some time to really think about what Ben James and Taffy (Paul) have said to me. Oh, such wonderful wonderful brothers-in-Christ. And it's also the first time I've seen a brother sobbing in prayer not for himself but for friends whom he loves. Taffy, from the start, gave me words too beautiful to understand, but they were words that I needed to hear; Ben gave me words about home and that's really been on my heart for the past week, especially with church and family; James was just such a kind and loving brother, and mentioned specific things I ought to do. Tried to be as open as possible to their words, and when I really let go and be open open open in worship and receiving, I really
received, and it was so amazing I kept smiling non-stop while walking home with Taffy....
Yes, I've fallen so in love again
So in love with Jesus. :)
