It is 1230 am here in the boro right now and for those who know me...yes it's a miracle I'm awake this late, but let me just say it's because I am so drunk on the spirit right now (Eph 5).
I have no idea what kind of response people will get when they read this, and frankly that's okay because my Jesus indeed is alive and on the move right here and now in rutherford and davidson county. Oh goodness how He is already preparing me for what's to come by doing things now!!
Okay, whew let me just catch my breath, ok i don't have time for that right now. wow, wow.
Tonight me, Travis, and Molly went to a youth group in Smyrna called Springhouse Church. Boy was I blown away by the Spirit of the Lord. I've never in my life met a youth group outside of a 'jesus high confrence' that is soo on fire for the Lord and that is so in love with Jesus...haha they are more than just 'christians' they are followers and seekers of Jesus that desire MORE of JESUS!! oh my my! so encouraging and just wooooooow. This youth group is so passionate and spirit filled that it's just woooooah! ha ok so worship was so goooood. I got to pray with this girl whom I have never met, named Kayti and man she is one amazing and jesus lovin chick. It was so cool to pray over one another...so liberating and wow.
They never even spoke a 'message'. All they did was sing and leave the mic open for anyone to share how God's moving in their midst and boy was that amazing to shout praises to God together for what He's doing!! oh man my God is NOT dead yall!! He is ALIVE!! I dont think we really get that. He still heals people. He has healed a friend of mines moms cancer!! That's something no doctor can do...only the great physician jesus can!! only Jesus!! Oh my goodness, more Lord!
ok so after the amazing night of worship and testimonies the three of us got in contact with Kayti and Alysha. These two girls are so on fire for the Lord that its incredible! They have a faith that can move mountains and I look forward to getting to know my sisters more.
We all decided to go to sonic to get a slushy...well haha so we started talking about Jesus and how we weren't really sure about coming cause it might be 'too much'. haha whatever!! you can never have too much of Jesus. You can never have too much of the spirit and boy did we experience the power of the holy spirit tonight. So as we were laughing and talking about how cool it is that God ordained this to all take place in perfect timing, this dude named Justin comes up and was like dude are yall talkin bout prophecy and jesus and we were like heck yes!! so him and 3 other girls sit with us and we just laughed and thought it so cool how God was ordaining all of this divine appointmens right!! haha then we all began to surround one another and pray, prophecy and lavish love on one another!! oh my word. I've never experienced something more moving than praying with strangers...now friends and bro's and sista's, to a God that is so alive and powerful and soo good!!! Oh my word it was so good. We lost track of time...we litterally were standing there for atleast an hour and were praying over each other in the middle of sonic...a group of people who just met each other who had EVERYTHING IN COMMON (Acts 2) How awesome...its the CHURCH. this is church people!!! its NOT a building and structure set time or sermon length or amount of worship songs. haha church has no boundaries, no limits, no barriers or restraints. church is when two or more meet in HIS name!!! oh my goodness! Jesus you are Goood!!! Praise you LORD!! More fire on Murfreesboro, Smyrna and Nashville! Jesus you reign!! Oh Lord thank you for divine appointments and how funny and good you are. Than you for confirmation and joy and love and laughter and brothers and sisters. Oh thank you!!
Man, I had to get that out...so I don't know what any of yall think of that, but man I just experience more of Jesus and His spirit tonight and there's no turning back. He's taking me deeper with Him and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
more of jesus, less of me.
