It was a small crowd of worshippers on Saturday Night, Feb. 11th, during Open House at The Love Church -- as a matter of fact there were only 6 people attending. I call Open House "WORSHIP FOR THE HUNGRY". Apparently there were not many hungry that night but I am glad I was one of those who was hungry. One of those who was willing to set the entire evening aside just to spend time with the King. Because what happened to me this night was more powerful than my words could ever relate.
As an S.O.T.L. CD was being played, I was worshipping and praying. I could hear the breath of God breathing through the music and I began to ask God to breath ON me and ON our church. As I was praying I could sense something happening inside of me. It's very hard to describe, but I knew it was God breathing on me. I began to cry out for God to breath IN me. I continued walking and praying that same prayer, and as I did I could sense that something was happening inside my chest cavity. I could feel my lungs beginning to fill up and the feeling was spilling over into other parts of my insides.
It was as though every spare bit of space inside me was being filled up... filled up with the breath of God! I actually began feeling shortness of breath as every milimeter of my insides was being filled with Him. I began to understand the words of a song that says, "Your love takes my breath away". For quite some time I was short of breath.
But as I continued to walk and pray I began to get in sync with His breath that was filling me up and the breathing was getting easier. It was kind of like a runner who finds his stride and locks in to his breathing so he can go the distance. I could feel an enlarging taking place on the inside of me. And the words that came to me were, "I have a BIG JESUS inside me". He was filling every area of my innermost being!! The feeling was indescribable. I didn't know what He was doing in me, but I knew I wanted all He had for me.
We sang praise, danced wildly, knelt at the altar, lifted our hands, waved banners, and prayed until 11pm. When we finished we shared our experiences with each other for another hour. And all I could say was, "I have a BIG JESUS inside me... I have a BIG JESUS inside".
What does all that mean? He hasn't revealed it all to me yet. But I know it has a purpose and part of that purpose is for what is ahead for us. His Breath has filled every empty space of my innermost being -- He's big inside me. Thank you for the enlarging God -- may it be used for Your Glory!!
"His breath is like an overflowing torrent that rises to the neck."
