Worship Night!

Well tonight was so good! We had our monthly Northgate worship meeting, but this month we had a time of worship and some teaching with Carrie Lembke. i started vocal lessons with her this week also and it is just so great to see a woman of God use her knowledge, giftings and anointing in such a powerful way.

I was just so blessed tonight, I had come from having coffee with a friend who just rediscovering God's presence in her life and i was so encouraged, as she explained the touch of God that she had experienced. So as I was driving back to the church I had just felt that I needed to get that excitement back in my personal walk with God. It wasn't that I wasn't excited about what God was doing it was that I wasn't excited about what He was doing in me, I wasn't letting my relationship with Him thrive.

When I had first experienced a vision from God a few years ago, it could all be summed up in me dancing with Jesus, Him being my first love and just experiencing that intimacy with Him. So as I was worshipping tonight, God showed me that we were still dancing but there was balloons between us that created distance .... (know I know thats funny, but He talks to us in the way that we understand Him best, so the junior high dance threat worked for me! ) And on these balloons were written pride, tasks, and time. These were the things that were keeping me from that excitement and intimacy with Him. As I continued to worship God have we a word to share through the Revelation Song, as the chorus declares who God is it also makes us choose to adore Him. So as I stepped into the freedom in the holy of hollies, I realised that God wanted to restore my wonder of Him and who He was.

As Holy Spirit was working within me the balloons between Jesus and I popped and I knew that this (in intimacy with Him) is where those things disappeared. God was drawing me closer, and to step into a new child like wonder, He showed me that I need this time to stay free, excited and intimate with Him.

It was just a great night to see a worshipping heart come out in others, learn more about my gifting and be changed and transformed by Father God! I would love to encourage you all to let Holy Spirit restore in you a child like wonder of worship, the Kingdom and of the King! It is very refreshing!
