We had a great day yesterday. We were able to go for 13 hours of uninterrupted worship and prayer, to minister to the heart of God in a crowded prayer room AND in an empty prayer room. My favourite part had to be entering into the room to feel the presence of God already present there. The accumulated benefit of hour after hour before the Lord is truly noticeable.
We had many great moments, most of which were experienced by only a handful of people (and God Himself). One moment that really struck me happened at the very end of the day. During our final hour the speaker at the conference upstairs was just beginning. I ran upstairs to hear him tell the crowd "I have no objective tonight other that to encounter the presence and glory of God and to help you to do the same". This was exactly what I wanted to hear. I ran back down, encouraged those in the prayer room with how it was unfolding upstairs and called all of us to both pray for and press into the same thing. God, come and encounter us...all of us!
As the set went on, we hit some great moments. The worship leader sang this chorus to the Lord over and over again:
"The beauty of your holiness,
The holiness of your beauty"
It was a powerful time of focusing on ministering to God! And every hour of the day had moments just like this.
Another full day to come...
