wow, possibly one of the crazier weeks of my life! Last week I was up at Imagine with about 20 folks from my youth group. I’d been praying that something amazing would happen, particularly given the change after last year, but I definately wasn’t prepared for how God was going to move.
Throughout the week the presence of God was tangible in a kind of raw and powerful way, this led on to being overwhelmed by the spirit more strongly than ever before, seeing our group plus a few others stay in the main morning meeting for an hour and a half after it “finished” praying, prophesying, dancing, soaking, laughing, crying, worshiping, and generally enjoying God and being touched by God in amazing ways.
It was amazing seeing how God really took everyone on a journey and how everyday He drew us closer to him and showed His heart through visions, pictures, preaching, and worship. The last night at the main meeting there was a chance for folks to come to the front and give testimony as to what God had been doing throughout the week. It was overwhelming seeing young person after young person come to the front, quite often in tears, speaking of how God had showed them how his heart is breaking for their communities, schools, churches and how they were going back home to help show Jesus in dark places. I was reminded again and again of a phrase I heard a while ago, “we are just the tour guides pointing out where Jesus already is”.
I’m still trying to piece together everything that I learnt throughout the week to see where to go from here, but I’m very excited though at what God has planned for this amazing city this year.
“i see a generation rising up to take their place
with selfless faith with selfless faith.
i see a near revival stirring as we pray and seek
we’re on our knee’s we’re on our knee’s.”
