I went to a Jesus Culture meeting on Thursday.. I took 3 of the girls that I work with and “exposed” them to my roots.. it was pretty great. Jake Hamilton led worship and I’ve been hearing a “buzz” about this dude for awhile. I’ll have to say, my friends that know me well, that have been telling me that I’ll like this guy for awhile- and they were correct. He’s got the rock thing going but he’s passionate about entering the throne room and taking as many people as he can with him!
It’s been awhile since I’ve been in a conference setting where everyone is all high on the fumes of heaven.. and I’ll be honest, I’ve been missing it! The churches that I’ve experienced here have just been lacking that passion of really pursuing God and MEETING with Him and having an encounter with Him. I think that our corporate times together should be so flavored with excitement and passion to meet with Jesus.
The Word tells us that “where 2 or more are gathered there I AM in your midst”… how can we not have awe, passion, excitement and raw emotion when we gather together to meet with the Lord? I often wonder what the deal is.. but really, is it that difficult to understand? We live in a world/in the Western world imparticular/that just doesn’t “need” God.. so our passion and desperation for Him just doesn’t feel needed..
I know in my life, especially since I’ve been down in So Cal, I’ve felt further from God at times that I ever have before. Mainly I feel that this is because I’m not really surrounded by like-minded people that are really pushing me closer to God. To go deeper in Him to the point that I’m uncomfortable because the sheer love of God should make us uncomfortable. It is beyond anything that we can ever comprehend. I want that! I honestly want that. That feeling that I am just so overwhelmed by God’s love that I’m so uncomfortable but it’s so right at the same time. Who can understand the ways of God?! They are so beyond me.
With everything in me I feel that “this” generation is the generation that could really “get” it… I feel that this generation is tired of complacency. It is a generation that is seeking the desires of their heart and really not carrying that the “world” doesn’t support them. Because in their hearts they know, it’ll be a more fulfilling than just doing what they “should.” We have a huge calling, each one of us individually but corporately as well! We are called to storm the gates and seek God first before seeking our assignments. Our ultimate assignment is to love God.. loving others and leading them to Him comes naturally after we’ve focused our love on God.
I want to storm the gates… I want more of God…
