Tonight I went to a church worship night. It was one of four nights at The Father's House and this was my first experience there. So as much as I would like to say that I went purely for the worship and message, I did not. I also went to see what it was like and if what people were saying about it was true.
Well, it was. Not only is it a huge building, but the number of people there was staggering for a girl who grew up in a church of 10-15 people and moved to a church of 100-200 to this. I walked in and the first thing I saw was a gift shop area. A GIFT SHOP AREA IN CHURCH?! What the...?! But I was able to get over it fairly quickly because there was so much to see!
After a few minutes, we all found our seats and that's when the fun began. Worship was pretty good but I felt like it was more of a concert than anything. Once the first part of worship came, there was an announcement about how you could buy shirts that they were selling for this four day event. Kind of annoyed me and maybe it's because I have never been to a church like this, but I felt like they were more intent on focusing on people buying things and giving for the offering (if you're an online watcher, donations are accepted through pay-pal).
But then the speaker for the night started worship back up/kept it going (depending on how you look at it) and it was so amazing.
Now, I believe that God performs miracles but because I have never grown up around prophecy, it's still new to me. So I was a little out of my comfort zone but there were some truly miraculous things that happened tonight. Because of tonight's events, I will never be the same. And while it's not something I can describe, it's something I can show with my life. So that's what I'm going to do.
Isn't God so cool? I am so amazed at how He works everything for the good. These last few weeks He has really been joining many people together. I believe something big is happening in this area. What an honor to be a part of it. Right?! :] So glad you got to go. Love you girl!
ReplyDeleteHe is :) And I've been opening myself up to more and more opportunities to meet with Him and see where He is taking us! And the things He does for the faithful...it gives me so much joy and hope to see!!
