Facebook

I am now a Facebooker. I updated my wall with what I am doing. That should make me official. I still need to post pics, but once I get my camera working right, I will get that going as well.

It is about time I get caught up with the times.

Unleashed

Last night at the SoCal HYC was phenomenal. The two words; Anointed Breakthrough.

"Anointed" because the message, the music and the presentation was truly touched by God. As a change from the night before, it ran more smoothly and the atmosphere held an expectation until the breakthrough was received. The music had you jumping on your feet as the worshippers released their worship and ushered even the meek and unknowing to grab a hold of the spirit of worship. I had never seen so many young people singing a song or dancing with their caution thrown to the wind. As I submerged myself into the middle of the crowd, I became a part of a movement that will forever embedded itself in the history of Pentecost.

"Breakthrough" because the heartbeat of God could be felt as Bro Francis poured himself out unto us all even as his voice fought to withhold what he had to say. Even at a crackle of his voice you could feel the desire in him for us to grab a hold of lifestyle evangelism. To love the cities in which we live and to serve those who reside within our communities. We mus be The Called that God has called for us to be and release every single thing we have to offer in order to overcome any giant that stands in our way of reaching the lost. Even when Bro Francis had no more voice to preach, we had desired to hear more because our souls were crying out for the truth in his message and wanted to soak in what we have been missing: the Truth about who we are.

We are a people redeemed by the Mighty God and are called to serve and love the lost. We must be the heroes of our communities. We must be the lights shining on top of the hill combating darkness that has imprisoned our cities. As the called, we must unleash the holy ghost beast in us and overcome the giants of our cities. We must devour Satan's spiritual predators while becoming predators of sin. It is time to stop being at the bottom of the spiritual food chain and time to climb our way to the top.

Last night, knees were bowed and voices wailed out as stomachs were wrenched with the reality of truth. Our hearts were breaking with the things that breaks God's heart. Room was being made in our hearts so that we may passionately love the things that God loves. We were humbled.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14)
