the experence

What is it about god that he would come down into a natural world and explode into a church building? God has always been real to me and I know that he can do all things, or do I? Today I realized that god is so much bigger then we are and that he really can do all things. God was more real to me then ever in march 27 2009.
Today in chapel as I sat there I was expecting another chapel just like we always have, the spirit comes and its awesome and then we go eat lunch….I was so tired of that all I wanted to do is seek after god with all of me but I couldn’t I felt hindered in some way. I have a problem with an emotional high then just forgetting about it and going on with my day like nothing really ever happen, so I hold back from going forward in most chapels but the one we had today was different. I had no idea what god was going to do
When Brother Baker the speaker for the day gave the alter call for healing and the power of the Holy Spirit, I didn’t go. The second alter call, I can’t even remember what it was for but I wanted to experience god in a new way I mean who doesn’t, right? So I went down and well I wasn’t really even at the altar, but who really cares god can do anything. As I stood there I felt it really pressed on my heart to go pray for a good friend of mine that I cared about a lot, but what god wanted me to pray for was not really something I wanted to do. You see the guy has never really been open to the whole “toungs thing” but god wanted me to pray that over him so that he might be baptized by the spirit. Being the stubborn fallen person I am I said no God I can’t.
As I looked at him I saw a professor praying with another student next to him and I told god how about you make the prof. skip him then I will go pray for him (as if he can only be prayed for once). As I stood there watching the prof prayed for him. I thought “oh well there you go I’m ok now” but god still gave me a burden to pray for the student. All the sudden I had a something come over me like I wanted to pray now but for the wrong reasons, because I wanted glory not because God, (messed up I know but that’s the flesh working against you) I told myself there is no way that I can go pray for him with a heart like this. And almost instantly I forgot about it and I felt an even bigger burden to pray. It was like someone lit my heart on fire it hurt. At this point I really had no choice but to go pray for him so I did. Did he get it? I don’t know really, I was just obedient. That was only the beginning though.
As I turned away after praying I could not stop shaking, I felt someone’s hands come over me and start to pray, I heard him speak life into me and a prayer of encouragement, telling me that god has a plan and the passion I have is true. I collapsed in his arms because I could not stand, I could never imagine stuff like this happening to me. I turned back around and fell to my knees and started balling. The presence of God was so thick. I had one other guy pray over me, about I don’t know how long it was but someone spoke to me a prophetic word over my life. Which kept me balling and on my knees for the rest of the service, and I had no idea why I was even crying……crazy ah!
I have never ever experienced anything like that in my life. I will be forever changed by this one moment in my life where god showed up in a totally new way. I cannot even explain the joy that I have in the lord. I know that god has called me here for a purpose. I will not run from that for anything God is keeping me here and I have no idea why.
I pray that people will know my passion that I have for Christ it is totally unexplainable, all I have to say is cry out to him put your trust in him, make him your everything because he is worthy. I pray that you would make him the center of your life; there is nothing better in my eyes then knowing that the god who created everything has a plan for my life and he wants to work it out, which is amazing to me. He is so much greater than anything and he has a specific plan for everyone’s life. I don’t know if you read this whole thing or not but if you didn’t I pray you read this, god is in love with you and he wants you to come to him, through Christ’s death and resurrection you can walk in his plan for you. I love everyone so much and I hope you are not annoyed by the long winded note, but what can you do?
