charismatic - 3/8

-God prepared me so wholly for the session. I really had the strength and heart to give Him that couple of hours. He showed me His love and help prior to it. I had so much to praise and thank Him for. His angels of prayer were His instruments to me.

- The worship leader was Jason. It was a surprise. I thought he had left. He is a great instrument of the Lord. We prayed over him as a community. See, that's how much of a family our community is. I know God will protect him and his family from harm. I managed to speak to him after the session and he acknowledged me by name. That felt good. :)

-Immediately when I entered the chapel, I found myself walking faster and more naturally. The power of God was already manifesting itself on me for His glory. He showed Himself to me in the deep worship portion. He acknowledged my immediate need through Jason's invitation to come up for intercessory prayer. I certainly certainly felt His love this whole day and week. :)

-The songs, the songs! All my favourite songs were sung and some hit me right at the core of my heart. Awesome in This Place was actually the song I thought would be chosen for the session as I shared with Aunty Anna. God brought the lyrics to life for me prior to it. He's so awesome! The Steadfast Love of the Lord brought me to tears. It was the song that affirmed me of His gracious blessings when I decided to go into private tuition. I was sharing its lyrics with a friend yesterday too. My Greatest Love is You also broke me. God sees me as His greatest love and so I see Him as mine too. He's greater than any human love because He's always there and never lets me down. I Want To Sing expressed how I felt towards my God then. Joy of My Desire was seen in a new dimension. I really was able to worship Him " in spirit and in truth" then. He had prepared me for that time. I could never really sing the last line "There will never be a friend as dear to me as you" before but I can now because He is my greatest love. This was certainly a grand worship, as Jason said!

-Cassandra's talk was on A Christian Soldier. Strangely enough, I had thought of the shield of God to put on against the spiritual attacks of the devil earlier in the day. See, God had prepared me for the talk prior to it. It was a really good talk. :)
