I’m in the greatest place that I’ve ever been in my entire
life. I have peace that truly surpasses anything my mind has ever experienced.
In worship Thursday night, my team led. Marcie played guitar and we started
with our team’s song that we wrote. God’s presence was on us and as we sang
praises to Him, the room was completely filled with His Holy Spirit. Some
people were singing, some were laughing, some were crying, some were standing,
some were sitting, some were dancing, and some were lying on the ground. God
spoke to me and said, “This is Heaven on
Earth. This is my love pouring out on you.” I wanted more, so prayed it.
“More Lord, I want more of you.” My squad leader, Robby,
came and laid His hands on my head. I could hear him behind me praying, “Overflow,
overflow, Father overflow your Spirit on her. Overflow your presence on her
body right now. Overflow.” And in that moment, my spirit agreed with his prayer
over me and I let go. I let go of my need to control, my need my need to keep
myself composed. I let go and God poured
His joy on me.
My knees gave out from under me and I literally collapsed to
the ground. Laughter began to jump out of the depths of my belly. And as I hit
the ground I tried to sit up straight and my arms gave out. I probably looked
like I was flopping around like a fish out of the water, but literally God was
pouring out His joy and love and peace so much so that I couldn’t contain it in
my flesh. I laughed uncontrollably with this overflow my Father had just given
me.
My team and I had prayed for God to show up and break out of
the box that we have been keeping Him in. And He certainly did that for me that
night. Once it was over and we all made our way back to our tents I felt a
little chuckle stir up and God whispered to me “There is so much more where that came from. This is only the
beginning.”
