God is Alive

Seems like a statement that would be obvious. Two of my children are at Passion '07 this week, I watched the broadcast of one of the sessions yesterday. After being in a church that is in the process of massive change that doesn't seem headed in a positive direction, this was refreshing.

Points:
1. This isn't about "I'm a big name, come listen." They don't announce who the speakers are, they don't do big introductions. It's not about them, it's about what God is doing.
2. They prayed for South Dakota to be represented. So....... when no one registered from a college there, they decided to continue to pray for them.
3. I'm not sure how many people are there, 1300 colleges are represented. These people are on fire.
4. My son who always carries a camera left it at home, didn't want to be distracted. Wow
5. They brought towels and socks for the homeless in Atlanta, they wanted the city to know that Jesus cares........ "as you do it unto the least of these"


When I watched this I was so moved that it's not about any denomination (which split the body) but all about Jesus and the good news. As a friend told me recently.... It IS good news! The captive is free! My chains are broken!!

Am I lifting up people, no, I'm excited. My ten years in Egypt made me wonder what God was doing in the earth, I am seeing glimpses now. One of the most exciting things I've heard was that muslims are having dreams about Jesus and are being converted. How powerful is that. I've heard this through two independent sources..... I believe.
