We had another amazing night at the Fire Station! Karen started us off with prayer and then shared about “open heavens.” She spoke from a number of scriptures, including Genesis 28 and Revelation 4:1-2, about the open heavens that Jacob and John experienced in those two passages. She also shared a quote from a plaque that had been given to her when she was young: “Those that see the invisible can do the impossible.” She closed with 2nd Corinthians 4:18, reminding us to “fix our eyes…on what is unseen,” that we are citizens of heaven, and that we can speak the Kingdom of heaven into the earth.
Austin and Lauren then led us in a powerful time of worship. As we sought to worship and bless God, He also blessed us as we experienced His presence among us! The Lord spoke through Lauren, encouraging us to “linger” in His presence, which we did for some time.
Following worship, Sean spoke about Jesus as “Immanuel – God with us.” He directed our attention to Isaiah 7 and Matthew 1 – the prophecy and fulfillment of Immanuel. Sean explained that Adam and Eve walked in unhindered relationship with God in the Garden of Eden and that Jesus came to restore us to that place of right relationship with God. He also reminded us that not only can we say that God was with us when Jesus walked on the earth, but God is with us even now. As Sean said, “We are walking in a season of God with us.” Sean’s talk spurred some good discussion and dialogue among the group.
Austin and Lauren then led in some more worship as people ministered to one another, fellowshipped and soaked in the presence of the Lord.
