Encountering Jesus in Community
I have been here in visiting my friend Daniel Stedman here in CA for the past 2 weeks and we have really began to see the fruit of the overflow from community. When we first arrived, there were 3 girls within the first 2 weeks that encountered God by them just getting immersed in this community founded on the presence of God. One girl is now doing our DTS this summer, the other one is staffing, and the other one was truly touched by God in a special way!!!! We didn't make it a task or a outreach instead we just loved on these people and the love of God touched them in ways that are way bigger than our words or actions. We have been experiencing God in a fresh way here at Daniel's house. The presence of the Lord is tangible and we can't get enough of His love for us. This home has turned into a dwelling place of the Lord. I am seeing my friend Daniel get transformed from 3 friends (Matt Scap, Chase Cofer, and I) surrounding him on a daily basis praying, worshiping, and just talking about God. He was here by himself and 3 of us felt to come down and live life with him. It is nothing that we are saying that is transforming him, it is the presence of our Father in his home that we have created by corporate worship and prayer on a daily basis. So, I just want to encourage all of you go after the Lords presence and it will change the atmosphere of your home, workplace, car, etc. The Lord is waiting for you to go after Him. Lift up the people around you, encourage them, speak no evil against them, and you will see change in your life. Community amplifies the calling of someone. When you can have 5 people lay their plans, money, future, and vision down for one persons vision, God will honor it. How much more will this one person's vision explode from these 5 that have his back in anything?!? Thank you Jesus.
