Day 21 - A Very Long Saturday (part 2) + Sunday

Saturday night's message was pretty right on, I'd say. Pastor Mike really spoke out what we needed to hear at the very moment: to be activated, fired up, and in constant expectation again. We need to draw near to Him and know what is on His heart for us in this season of dryness. Scratch that. I don't believe there could be a season of dryness, but just a period of time when we live without water. When the water comes in the right season, then the fruits will be seriously sweet. I can't stress this enough for myself, but it is through the act of pruning that fruits are guaranteed good in the next season. There is a promise that comes from pruning, and we ought to hold on to that. I forgot what Pastor Mike was saying, but I started to had a minor tearing-up moment as I was by the keyboard. Something hit me, and I really needed those tears. I've been wanting to have a tender time for a good month, and I always enjoy how He messes my heart up.

Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said,
“There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!”
-1 Kings 18:44-

If you haven't red Jack's latest post, there was an angelic encounter - during Sunday worship. Ruth, one of the guests from Sacramento and also the daughter of Jack's spiritual grandma, saw an angel standing on the platform. A huge and mighty angel with the wings wide open ready for action. The angel tells Ruth, God sends him here to Impact. During worship, as I was saying, "God, release the angel to minister to us..." the angel told Ruth that he is here all this time and ready to roll!

I was real encouraged and in awe of this open vision! I really did not think much when I said that but I knew in the spirit that we ought to summon the angels to minister to God's people!

Isn't God splendid? Nothing is impossible for Him!
Worship was full of Holy Spirit. I like that a lot.
Great to have Andy back on the team =D
