Feather, Stone, and New Day
Today's worship was yet again ________.
I cannot even describe it with any word, so I'm leaving it blank. I was just telling RadJam during practice that we were just going to do Stir Up The Flame and O Taste And See, and then we'll let the Spirit lead us! I actually said, "it would be just so cool if the Holy Spirit would just take over again that we don't even have to rehearse!" I was expecting an outpour since yesterday and surely He took over! It was so beautiful. I really didn't know what the Holy Spirit is going to do, but I knew it right away that we were not singing any of the picked songs when I started to play on the keys. Something was different. Totally unexpected. The playing part was more of creating a soothing and calming atmosphere and prepare the hearts to worship. When we started to sing and flow with the Spirit, inside of me was like, "YYYYYYYES!!! Holy Spirit's taking over! We don't have to follow any structured songs; we just have to follow Him!" I was full of joy because the presence of the Lord was so gentle and beautiful and He was moving and molding the hearts.
One of the longest and the best Sunday services of my life.
We've got well over 20 testimonies shared.
For 4 hours, Countless drops of tears.
I love tears; they are windows to the heart and the core.
And, of course---Feathers, visions, pictures, dreams, healing, heavenly sounds, breakthroughs, more feathers, visions, pictures, dreams, healing, heavenly sounds, and breakthroughs.....
It's a new season. It's a new day.
So many confirmations--at least 5 I'd say--about new season, new day, new fruits. I believe this conference has marked the beginning of the new season we are heading into. A season of supernatural expectation. A season of shell breaking and wings flapping and soon soaring. I just want to go deeper into this stuff. I was reading Ezekiel 34(and actually posted the verse in "What's Your Calling?" post just this past Tuesday!), and these two verses caught my eyes:
I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing (this is the part that caught my eyes about the coming of a new season). Then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit (new season bears new fruit, of course. I think each one of us will bear fruits and we will also bear fruits together as a church.), and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land (I remembered Mark said how we are carefully protected by the Lord from "churchianity" and we are innocent and pure); and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them.
-Ezekiel 34:26~27-
So I found a little black stone-y thingy on the ground somewhere close to the keyboard cases and the equipment boxes. I was like.....WWWWWOAH what's this?? It was black, but when I examined it closely, I found out that when I turn the little rock, I see some relection of metal-y thing. So I set it on my music stand. And then I got the text from Sarah at around 10pm that Amy found 7 little stones right in front of her after praying! And they found 6 feathers IN THEIR HOUSE! That's totally amazing!
Alright, that's enough of today. I'm really excited to see how much God will do in our lives--by simply showing up through angelic encounters or just one-on-one heartfelt touch. Anything Lord. I just want to see You more, know You more, and love You more.
RadJam: I love you all. And it's so good to have Holy Spirit take over, ain't it? We've been longing for a breakthrough in worship and I believe this is the dawn of a new worship. We've never done anything close to what we did this afternoon, and I expect it to happen much often in the future! Of course we still need to come to practice Saturdays and Sundays haha! I'm not saying that this should be the way to do worship, I'm just, as a member of RadJam and a worship leader, so overwhelmed by what happened today and how TOGETHER we were because the entire congregation was with us together--united in the Holy Spirit. I feel like that's what we're going after with our worship more and more. Lord would You keep on showing us more things that's never heard of. We're going after You and You alone. Only Your presence and bring down an outpour and a breakthrough.
New wine + New Wineskin = ?Unknown?
I'm pumped. Aren't you?
Vacuum before you pray and worship;
Look for treasures from heaven!

Found another feather in my room in riverside this morning. Eric had a dream about the black stones, it's quite amazing. Ask him about it!
I feel really honored to be in the same band with you, Andy, George, Jay, and Annie. Seriously, when I look at each and every one of you guys... it's as if I'm looking at King David, Barnabus, Martha+Mary, Peter. I'm overwhelmed and excited to continue this journey with all of you forerunners together! =D

Just wondering, how many times did you read that paragraph? xD .... and no problems Johnny. Keep being obedient to God's voice. You guys have grown soooo much. I always love when we worship God because the atmosphere is just so beautiful when we do. =) You guys touched God's heart. Did you know that? You really did.
