We met in the Upper Room once again this past Friday night for Fire Station! As we gathered together, Corey, Taylor and Dale led us in a beautiful time of worship. During this time, some people also shared visions/revelations that the Lord had given them. After worship, Sean gave an invitation for people to share testimonies. A number of people did so, sharing stories of how they have seen God working – in their own lives and even at Hershey Park!
Jeff Nolt then spoke about life in the Spirit. He quoted Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity: “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” He shared that he believes we are in the midst of a season of CHANGE in the body of Christ. At the same time, he said that God wants to partner with us to bring revival; He is looking for a people to pray it and believe it.
Finally, he challenged us to care for our spirits like we care for our physical bodies. Some key ways to do this: Eat of God’s word (Matthew 4:4b – “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”) Spend time with Him, receiving from Him (1st Corinthians 12:13b – “we were all given the one Spirit to drink.”) Live a lifestyle of confession and repentance (Psalm 139:23 & 24 – “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”) He also reminded us of the key fact that the Israelites were to gather fresh manna every day. We can’t live on the relationship or experiences of the past.
After he spoke, there was an opportunity given for people to respond to the word that was given and/or to receive prayer. Multiple people were prayed for and a number of us stood in for friends who are struggling with illness. God touched and spoke to many of us. We trust that He will continue to do so as we continue to seek Him together and offer ourselves to Him in order that we may partner with Him in His work. May He receive all praise, honor and glory!
