If you missed this last weekend you definitely missed out! God totally interrupted our services and had a word in season to all of us! One of the things Pastor Randy talked about was how we are in a "garden season."Kind of like when Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane. At a time where pressure was on all sides and the circumstance felt like too much, Jesus was praying. On the other hand his disciples were sleeping!
Pastor explained that many of us have been in a season that seems tough and the circumstances feel like more than we can handle; and instead of praying like Jesus did, many of us have been sleeping like the disciples. We have been trying to just weather the storm, and hope that one day it will pass.
God is saying to us the only way we succeed in this season( and really in life) is to be people of prayer! If we don't pray we will never respond to adversity correctly. However if we pray and seek God, just like Jesus, we will resist the opportunity to quit and conquer every trial and win!
GOD ENCOUNTER WEEKEND!!
Last weekend has set us up for an amazing weekend to come! This weekend is God Encounter and Damon Thompson will be with us on Saturday night and Sunday night.
We have great expectation for God to show up in a big way this weekend; and in light of what God was saying to us Sunday, Pastor Randy has called a prayer service from 5-6pm right before our Saturday 6pm service. He is inviting everyone to come pray!
God said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer." and that is what we are putting pressure on, we want to be a people who seek God with all of our hearts. When we set our hearts to be committed to God His power shows up in our lives!
We are moving FORWARD this weekend! If I were you I would make every effort to be at as many services as you possibly can! God can change everything in a moment and He wants to do it for you and your family!
HOW CAN WE PREPARE FOR A LIFE CHANGING WEEKEND?
1. Pray and be in expectation for God to move in your life personally and for others as well.
2. Invite someone! Every life changing weekend is marked by many people giving their life to God.But how will they experience God if we don't invite them!!! Be bold!
3. Attend Services. God encounter really is a week for you to double up and come to a united clovis service as well! Join us at Saturday night or Sunday night in clovis! It's really not that far ;)
4. Serve with expectation. You are going to play an important part in everything God is wanting to do this weekend! When you serve you help set the atmosphere for lives to be changed! Thank you!
