O What A Night
The night started like any other. A few people gathered with expectant hearts to worship God. These gatherings have been happening since 2008. Born out of a desire for a time of extended corporate worship, without the time constraints of Sunday services, these evenings continue to inspire and revive and refresh. And with each passing event, the hunger for more of God, more of His love, power – more of heaven here on earth – increases. Each member of Becoming Worship is on a journey to know God better and express it in worship. Every person that comes to these events is also hungry for an experience or encounter with God. And with all the busyness, trials and plain –life happening, how better to download from the LORD than with brothers and sisters.
We sense that the time has come for the church to arise and take her place in history. To raise up one voice in praise and adoration to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. An army of worshippers gathering behind the Captain of the Hosts, to take back the land and the souls that belong to the Father. To hunger, to seek – and to find and be filled with the love and goodness of the One and Only. To prepare - as the Bride for her Groom. To love and be loved. To bloom and blossom and flourish…here as it is in heaven…
And so with open and expectant hearts we gather. Gathered. The band had met and practiced. Prayers and supplications had been made. The day was here. They took their place at the front. And opened with an invitation to seek first the Kingdom of God – and all these things will be added unto us. To ask, seek and knock – and we would be given, we would find, and the door would be opened unto us. The living words of Jesus – how better to stir up hope?
The intercessors raised their banners and took their place at the back – hemming God’s beloved in – behind and before. And the dance began. Heaven looked down and smiled. Indeed two or more were gathered in His Name – where else would HE rather be?
It has been said that God is the most emotional Being ever. And from the range of emotions felt that evening, I have indeed no doubt that HE is. Peace reigned. There was a sense that we were loved, and pursued relentlessly… A passion arising for the Name of Jesus… A hunger for the touch of God and then wonder, adoration and awe as indeed HE responded… A time to fight and declare total annihilation of Satan’s plans as we declared we would change the world… And of course, heartbreak for the sons and daughters who are yet to come home to Papa. Hearts receiving healing, and letting go of weights they had been carrying…. The air was super charged and the dynamics of the music enhanced the atmosphere all the more. Different worship leaders brought their amazing and complementary anointing and gifting to lead the congregation at different points. Our God is indeed creative. A lover of diversity.
A number of people who have attended various BW nights said this was the best night so far. And our hearts cry – More LORD! More of YOU!! More anointing, power, presence – More!!! We have tasted and seen that You are good – and we want more!!!
We become what we behold. As we worship our God, the lover of our souls, may we indeed become more like Him!! To the Glory and Honor of the Name of Jesus!!
