Sunday night was one of my favorite prayer meetings of the entire semester. We started out the second hour singing the chorus of "All Who Are Thirsty." We kept singing, "Come, Lord Jesus, Come" over and over again. It was powerful.
We spent the whole night praying for the fire of the Lord to refine us and make us holy. As we behold him we become like him.

Monday Night Prayer Meeting
Monday:
Coming into this prayer meeting, for some reason or another, it seemed liked our hearts were hard as a whole. Maybe it was from sin, or lack of pursuit, but regardless by the end of the night there was true, authentic intimacy. It was repenting during the first hour that softened our hearts and drew us to the Lord. The whole second hour was straight up worship! It was worship deep with our spirits and with truth. We approached the Lord with the Fear of the Lord. We stepped into humbleness which was the key to the door of intimacy. Tonight there was a real longing to meet with God. We asked for Him tonight, and we actively sought Him. It wasn't something that I lead the prayer meeting into... it was something that God did. My leadership was irrelevant because the furnace came to meet with him and was able to follow Him first.
Tonight was truly intimate, and I pray that the furnace's hearts would be resolute to follow a relentless God. We have so much to jump into... and I have faith that we will, and not just in the future, but now, and with this crew!
Much love,
Josiah
