As I was walking downtown Atlanta waiting for my plane, I saw some construction on the sidewalk. As I walked through the construction and watched cars go around the barrels I soon realized that this applies to my life. I was under construction. God had been removing the old, cracked sidewalk and replacing it with brand new cement that contains no cracks. Let me explain what happened.
While at this training camp, I was not sure what was going to happen. I knew God was going to do great things but not like this. It was like a typical training camp where you had worship and speakers talk about what we need to do to get ready for the 11 months. One thing I did not count on was the Holy Spirit doing amazing things that you would think are just not possible. I saw God remove years of hurt and pain in peoples’ lives. He poured down love and grace to all His children. Freedom was just not a word anymore. It was something you could see and feel. There was no more weight holding down everyone. I have seen hundreds of people worship but not like this. This was a unique kind of worship. It’s the kind of worship you read about in the Bible when all the angels are praising the Lord.
I personally saw the weight come off of me. I had been dragging my baggage of unworthiness, lust and self image for far too long. During worship, a gentleman placed his hand on my chest and prayed over me speaking truth into my life. Once we were done, I could not feel the weight anymore. It was like I could jump to the moon now. Later on we prayed and were prayed upon for the Holy Spirit to come into our lives. When this started, I could feel where the man prayed for me earlier just start to expand. It went throughout my body and the air was different. I mean different by it being thicker and a different taste then regular air. Look for part 2 and I will go explain more of what the Holy Spirit has done at training camp.
Now that training camp is over I now see everything in a different light. I am free from my chains and the fear is gone. Freedom is not just a word to me anymore. It is something I can feel and see. I have for once truly seen and experience God’s love and grace in my life. The old pavement has been removed and I have been replaced with a clean slate. Ready for anything. Now I am ready and nothing is going to hold me back from sharing the Gospel and Christ love to the world.
