Rebekah and I brought the band down with us to lead worship for a service called "IDK", which stands for "I Don't Know"! Meaning, tonight is a service we have designed where we have no idea where God is going to take us as we worship Him. Kenny, start singing!
I LOVE IT!! We had a blast. We just went after His presence, just loving on Him with song and heart. His presence hit us in that place like an ocean wave. It was almost instant during a song we were singing, I think it was Set My Heart On Fire or something, when the Lord opened Heaven. We cold feel as if the top of the church just ripped off, and all we sensed was heaven pouring down over us. What an experience. It even hushed the audience to a place of stillness. Like a blanket of peace, when the Lord is so present like this, there is nothing that your heart needs to or even can say at that point. You are in the inner chambers with Him, and all you can do in that moment is rest.
His presence is everything. It generates peace, it delivers unbelief, it heals bitterness towards people, it opens eyes to new perspectives, it awakens dormant faith, it revives hope, it raises our heads and hearts to things above,over the things of this earth. His presence compels every and all initiatives we could ever do for Him, but in His timing, motivated by obedience to Him, and by His love for others. All from rest.
He is the BEST!!! He is better than any idea we could ever have about doing anything for Him! Purpose that does not come from His presence is usually interwoven with vanity. Purpose born in His presence has enough grace, favor, mercy,and power to carry itself out, because it comes from Him. Nothing that comes from the mouth of God will return to Him void. He is looking for obedient sons and daughters who are laid down lovers of His presence and of His person. He wants to pour Himself into us and to manifest His power and love through us, in that all might come to know Him as their Father who just wants His kids back in His arms!
FATHER, I AM ALL IN!
