Oh Dearest God, what JOY! I’ve been meeting friends at the airport as they came flying in — yesterday and today — preparing to come to the PARTY! And that is just what it is, God, a PARTY! Honolulu 2010 Christian Conference is 4,000 people of all ages and all denominations coming together to Praise You and Worship You. That is the JOY part of the gathering.
That JOY is still in my heart because of our Prayer Team gathering last night — a lovely time of prayer. Then Cynthia and friends and I went over to the room where Christie Pierce will be talking on Inner Healing — Healing What Hurts Most. And that prayer time was CHICKEN SKIN. You know, God, AWE is a good word, but it doesn’t begin to cover YOUR UNSEEN PRESENCE — Unseen but not unfelt.
Worship and Prayer — Adoration and Joy — are the foundation stones of the Conference. But there is so much MORE! Talks and training for pastors and lay leaders and just plain folks on hundreds of topics. Ah, but God, as for my small part on the Prayer Team, it is about Your Deep Desire to set us free from guilt, regret, addictions, fears, traumas, and assorted difficulties and pains. Physical healing is remarkable — like our friend David who was healed of many years of post polio nerve damage and pain. When someone who has used two canes for years starts walking normally — that brings JOY.
And I’m praying for LOTS of physical healings! Ah, but the deep inner healing — to me that’s the real work of Your Spirit. So, God, THANK YOU! Thank YOU that I get to go and get to pray. Please, God, clean me up and get me OUT OF YOUR WAY! And now I’m off to go to hear Don Williams speak at the Prayer Intensive from 9 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
