Rushing Water

Last week we had Aaron Walsh speak. He runs an International House of Prayer in New Zealand. He brought so much revelations and power into lectures; we left all fired up. All the students were just rocked; thoroughly enjoying the week.

God has been putting these burdens on my heart. I would pray for them feeling the anguish of His heart and then Aaron would speak them out. GOD MOVES when we PRAY!!! Gods presence has been so thick on this campus. I just walk around and feel the goodness of the Lord. I'm not sure I can describe it better than that. He has been going deep into peoples hearts, bringing healing to areas that have plagued them their whole life; including myself. I feel like I am on the surgery table and the doctor just made a large incision...it hurts and all I can do is just lay there letting him take out all of the hurt. God is so good, so gracious, so compassionate. There is so much to say but yet I'm not even sure how to formulate how to say it. I am falling more in love and more in awe of God everyday. In Psalms 27:4 it says One thing I ask from the Lord this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. We have been seeking to see his beauty, to know him more. So that we may abide in him!!! God delights in when we choose to delight in him. My heart has known this for a while but when I truly ask to see his beauty there's something about it that seems too simple and my mind wants to make it more complicated. Last night a few of the girls that I am staffing with felt like there were angels in the room. So we just asked the Lord to reveal his beauty and whatever he wanted to show us. I was a little nervous to be honest because it was SO REAL! I felt the fear of the Lord rising up inside of me. He is so real, so Holy, and so BEAUTIFUL. We just felt his presence there. We would put our hands up and our fingertips would tingle, it almost felt like someone else finger tips were touching mine. Our hands almost seemed to disappear in this cloud type thing above us. My legs would get warm and tingle and then cool. We were just experiencing God. Just simply delighting in him. At one point we looked up and there were like little balls of light, it was almost as if we were looking at the stars or in space itself. We could even scoop it up in our hands and I could see this light. It didn't feel like anything but I was seeing something. I am just simply amazed. The more I learn about God the more I realize that I hardly know anything. I feel so humbled. We serve a powerful, awesome and beautiful God. I probably say the phrase "I don't even know" more in the last couple of weeks than I probably ever have. I am ready for this next week which is about Prayer and Intercession.

Psalms 42:1-2 As the deer pants for the streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the Living God. When can I go and meet with God?
42:7-8 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me-a prayer to the God of my life.
