This week I've been listening to a message by Bill Johnson called 'Hearing God's voice'. Somewhere in this message he shares about how God spoke and the world was created. God never recalled the word. As a result the universe is expanding, the natural world and the universe as a whole actively maintain it's laws, cycles and seasons. Creation reproduces itself all because; God spoke.
At Essence on Thursday morning we'd been talking about tonight's Flame service, Step onto Liquid. It's the first of it's kind at Flame with no songs or sermon prepared, there'll be a few chords played for worship and an open floor to share a word, testimony, prophecy etc by those present. We don't know what's going to happen, we only know that God will be there, we'll be there and we're hungry and full of expectancy for what He might do.
God impressed something upon me while we were praying. I think it's a small illustration of what Bill shared and an encouragement to those involved in Flame. God is present, He's excited, and He has big plans for Renewal Youth Ministry. I also think God is overjoyed that we're open to trying out Step onto Liquid.
I was standing near the entrance to the main church auditorium. I didn't see people, I only know that the room was full of young people attending Flame. When I looked up I saw words floating through the air. There was a sense of knowing that the room was literally crammed full of words, stories and testimony's. There were layers to these words because in the normal sense there's no way they could fit in the room naturally. They were things that God had written on the hearts of the people in the room. They were past, present and future. The atmosphere was weighty, heavy and tangible. There was an expectancy in the room that had something to do with both the people and the words, something which was in a sense, prophetic, but would be likened more to the expectancy of giving birth to something. That the comprehension of each of these words held life and the power to create.
That's what God showed me, and I'm a little excited..
