Encountering God's Glory

Okay so tonight was just... I honestly don't have words to describe, but I'll try my best!
God encountered us at UHOP in a tremendous way. First of all, throughout the day God had been doing something in my heart. I was not satisfied with where I was in God. I was trying to use the right word to try and describe the way I felt... after a while it finally came to me. I felt like stagnant waters. There was no activity, no stirring, no ripples. Little did I know I was just in the eye of the storm though. lol

Okay, so I guess it's from the combination of school and responsibilities and such has gotten me pretty drained but it was something more... I felt empty. I had nothing to offer... at least in the way that I thought. I have been constantly worship leading at UHOP (something I love to do) and I just felt like if I continue like this I won't make it... so I felt a lack in many areas... I longed to encounter the Fear of God, spend more time in the Word, seek wisdom and knowledge, strive for excellence, live a holy and righteous life, and there are so many areas that I wanted to improve on or to become more diligent in... Little did I know that God was going to wreck me tonight.

So we started off with worship. Casi and I were talking about how we need to encounter the fear of the Lord so that's what we wanted to pray for. We also already decided to just become completely open for the Holy Spirit to come and to wait on Him. So we went into worship and praised Him for a while. Matthew Baker (fellow intercessor at UHOP) had something burning on his heart concerning the urgent message at IHOP-KC... After Matt shared, it wrecked us all... so we decided to watch a movie about revival and then we went back into worship... God completely took the wheel... I was definitely crying uncontrollably at the enormous mercy and grace He has blessed us with. He touched all of us in the room tremendously. I strongly felt the Lord stirring in hearts a zeal for His glory! After an intense worship we just took time prophecy over one another and talk about this new season that God has released us in.

Well there is about 3 more days till I head up to the Kansas City with some awesome peeps from UHOP and  then back to school. But I'm going to tremendously enjoy sitting and soaking in the prayer room and chill with my brother... =)

Goodbye for now! =)
