February had been a hectic.
School about 20 hours a week, HCEC 12 hours a week , Burn 8 hours a week, Thorn 4 hours a week, and _Tag 2 hours a week; These are the hours that I'm going none stop (these are hypothetical, they could be less or more)
It seemed that I couldn't find time to just relax.
But I have to say this past week seemed different.
After _Tag Wednesday the 17th God had put on my heart to pray for certain people.
Now when God puts something on your heart it starts to weigh more and more, especially if you don't do it right away. But the weight on my heart was more of a understanding, I understood why God had put this person on my heart to pray for. During this Time I had especially been reading the last part of Psalms 45. (read it so good) I didn't know how these things were intertwined but they were.
Fast forward to last week.
On Tuesday at burn we were praying for the night of desperation; so powerful my friends, to see young men and woman of God praying for God to work in our generation.
I was so touched from it that i was hoping that there would be another prayer meeting.
Wednesday 24th, Night of Desperation.
Every Wednesday after setting up, there's a prayer meeting in the Tag cafe (tag chapel)
and every week I go, but this week was different. as so many young men and woman gathered in that small room to pray for that night, it was so amazing! as we prayed an Image appeared in my head, of thousand people, young and old, walking around in chains, crying and aching for someone to set them free. then a bright light shines and a young teens chains are broken, the teen begins to sing praises to God, and then an even brighter light shines and all the peoples chains are broken.
One by one they pick up their chains and walk toward a throne and lay it at the feet of the King, then they sing praises.
I was shocked I've never had such an image of great hope and joy ever.
later that night as we prayed for one another, me and a friend prayed for each other, and I knew that God was speaking through us, to each other.
and then as we were praying for people, fear, loneliness, things that the satan has placed on people's hearts, I walked for a bit and asked God who do I pray for, seeing people gather over one person and over another I wondered, "Is there were I go?" "No" I finally found someone and prayed over her. God was speaking to her, I know it. Then we were going to pray for those who felt lonely. I walked again and found a young girl in the corner with her friend. I walked over and asked her name, then started to pray. As I prayed God's words flowed out of me, God was there in that moment as it was me, this young girl and her friend. The young girl began to cry and I began to cry. I've never experienced God through praying for someone else, but I know that I did.
I literally was shaking at the end of the night, I don't know how to explain it.
What Psalms 45 talks about towards the end of the chapter, it talks about a young woman, who men find favor in her, she is dressed in garments of beauty and gold, she is taken to the King along with her virgin companions. That image is us and God; we are brought into his presence and He is pleased with us. God has put young teen girls in my heart to pray for because, many find them selves ugly, displeasing, and useless. I want them to understand that they aren't, and that Psalms 45 proves it!
I have a new view point on fellowship, prayer, and God's presence. what about you?
