LIFE message in Atlanta

The Lord used me to speak the LIFE message last night. I found myself in front of about 250 young adults, of the Fusion ministry at Victory World Church, preaching the message. Before hand I felt unprepared and inadequate. I prayed, however, that God would give me the words and that hearts and minds would be shifted. I believe He did just that. I am soooo thankful for this opportunity, as I KNOW the Lord is about to rock all of Atlanta with the reality of what is going on inside the doors of our churches and homes regarding abortion.

At first, I thought people weren't getting it or didn't care, because they looked at me with blank stares (from what I could tell being blinded by the stage lights). Later, after talking with my team who came with me, they said they believed that people were just shocked to hear the reality of what is going on in America. To hear that the empty seats in that place could have been filled with people, but they are missing today because of abortion really shocked folks, as well it should have. As I ended the preaching portion, we went into intercession and prayed for our city, led by my leaders Jenn, Samuel, and Saji. An amazing team! (See pic from when we went to celebrate Jenn's b'day a few posts down). Also, God divinely orchestrated it to have a friend of mine (Leo), who is an amazing keyboardist, lead worship, with another close friend of mine (Christian) from IHOP on the guitar. The worship mixed with intercession was heavenly, and I'm not sure that all of the people really got it. A little while into it we gave a call for all those who feel called to be an intercessor. About 30 people came forward and we got to pray over them. Praise God! He really is moving in Atlanta!!!

As a side note, I also spoke the LIFE message at OneThing Atlanta. I did not feel as good about it personally, which is why I didn't blog about it. I know God moved despite my junk & weakness (in both cases), and for that I am grateful. It's really all about Him anyway!
