God is so funny...

Haha, well what do ya know? The very day I finally express the sluggishness in my heart towards God, He takes it, shakes it, and remakes it! Last night, the Spirit moved like CRAZY, and so many hearts were touched and re-opened for the Lord.

After another powerful message and testimony from one of the Missions Conference Speakers, there was an extended time of worship. During this time, there were dancers in the front, just being led to dance in worship. There were 4 artists painting, and drawing beautiful pieces, as an act of worship. There was such an amazing uplifting presence of God and He worked mightily.

A leader of the SMU came up and challenged us to not only be a student body that worships, but a student body that prays. Prays for God to come, and to take us and send us out. Then anyone who needed prayer raised their hand and people all around laid hands on them and prayed.

Before I knew it, my hand was raised and I was being powerfully prayed over, experiencing God more personally than I have in a long time. It overwhelmed me. I was almost drowning in it, but it was phenomenal. Even now I can't stop singing, moving, praying, and overflowing with joy. Christ brought me out of my rut and back into relationship with Him, when I thought it was basically unredeemable. He redeemed me. Praise God. This is a Psalm spoken last night after we prayed and during worship. Take it in...all of it.

Psalm 34
(emphasis added)
¹ I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.

² My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

³ Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.

⁴ I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.

⁵ Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.

⁶ This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.

⁷ The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

⁸ Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

⁹ Fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.

¹⁰ The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

¹¹ Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

¹² Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,

¹³ keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking lies.

¹⁴ Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.

¹⁵ The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their cry;

¹⁶ the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

¹⁷ The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.

¹⁸ The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

¹⁹ A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the LORD delivers him from them all;

²⁰ he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.

²¹ Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.

²² The LORD redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.
