[revival-fire] Obedience=JESUS

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

Last night at Hearbeat Youth was so crazy! The Holy Spirit was so thick in that place last night... It was really cool because the guy (Vlad) who I prophesied over in Club Retro a few weeks ago texted me before service and asked me what time it was.   This was really cool becuase he had come the week after he showed up to Retro. But then he skipped the next week, and he had left the previous weeks early. I was slightly discouraged, because he had been saved in the prophecy room and now I felt like he wasn't going to come back. But that text really raised my hopes, and sure enough Vlad showed up before service.   I was really nervous, I really wanted him to experience the Holy Ghost, but last week he had left early, and I was really unsure about the whole situation. I even worried when we didn't dive into worship right away. Jamie settled into the message after announcements, and that worried me even more. I had promised him something different, but as far as anyone could tell this was a normal service.   Until... Jamie gave the message! It was a great word for a first or second timer. It was all about obedience equalling faith and faith equalling power in the Holy Spirit. Jamie touched on a lot of the Gifts, and a few youth gave tesitimonies before the message. After that we jumped into worship, Jamie gave the altar call, and Vlad jumped up.   "Praise God! He's going up." But I still was worried. "Oh no, what's gonna happen if he gets prayed for and nothing happens? He's gonna leave for sure!" But God was faithful and Vlad got an incredible encounter with God, and by the end of the night was slain in the Spirit.   At the end I just had to hit myself. Why was I so concerned? I was obedient to the Spirit! I prophesied the word of knowledge He gave me. A heart change happened, and the situation was out of my hands. My worrying was in vain! It was the same as Jamie's message that same night. GOD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING! All we have to do is be obedient, and He sees it through. As long as we're obedient there is nothing else to do. There was no sense in me worrying "Oh no, we didn't jump into worship first," God had his plan to let Jamie give the message first, and it was obviously a greater plan than mine. It always is. God takes care of His sheep, and He did, and He was faithful as always. Don't doubt God's plans, be obedient to the ones he gives you. Bryce "The Refugee" Avalos Soul Hustle Ministries
