(This is such an awesome picture)
In this season right now God has me mentoring the sophomore guys at the college I went to from 2008-2011. Everyday this week has been a different side of the Holy Spirit inside me that I have not really seen very much in my life. I have witnessed some within the last 5 years (started believing in Jesus then) or herd stories of other people but this was just another side not yet witnessed day-to-day.
On Monday 10/17/2011:
During the time that the sophomore guys meet (we meet every Monday night from 8-10pm to talk about life and have fun). One of the guys felt a heaviness from the Lord that he should share what God put on his heart about this guy on campus and to pray for him. (He also invited other guys that were around to come and join us. There was about 16 of us.) After he shared what was on heart, we had a time of speaking to God and asking Him "To please have Your way and may Satan not take our brother." (whatever that may look like) Also expressing this is what we would like also. Just being honest before the Lord as a group of guys. The Holy Spirit had a more deeper plans then just talking with the Lord about his guy. It turned into a time of repentance, confession, healing and restoration. We are talking about guys, men who want to be men of God and are willing to let Him come in to lead them in the path that He has planned for them (me too). There was lots of crying, hugging, encouragement, speaking truth into one another lives, and being there for one another like what family is for. By the time this ended about two hours there was joy, restoration, and love pouring off all the faces of the men in that room. It was AWESOME and God is still doing work in our lives to align our heart with His. Never have I seen or witnessed a group of guys crying out to the Lord for on another, repenting, and desiring God to take over in their lives.
