Oil to Fire night 2 recap!

Once again, another great night of prayer and worship! Corey and I each had our personal time with God during the day and He once again gave both of us vision and direction for the night. We prayed for Education in America! We prayed for each school district, all the teachers, all the students! We prayed for God to move in our schools! It was great! We even had the privilege of praying for teachers in our midst last night. We have quite a few homeschool families and even public school teachers! We will continue to keep them in prayer as they educate the next generation of leaders in our nation!

This is such an important topic because of the very fact that if we do not properly educate the younger generation, then we are partly responsible for how our nation turns out. We really need to take education seriously. It is our job to invest ourselves in our children. Not only just in schools but in our churches as well. It is absolutely vital that we take interest in serving the children in our church and raise them up to be mighty men and women of God. Our government may try to keep God out of our schools, but are we gonna deny children the right to learn about God in church? That's where it's supposed to be, but too often we get caught up in our selfishness of needing to get something out of church for ourselves, instead of church being a place where we can serve and build each other up. Children's ministry becomes second to our own personal growth. When we are spending time with God daily and getting filled up from Him personally, thats when we look at church with a servant mindset rather than a consumer mindset and that's when church becomes what it's supposed to be. The family of God serving each other and building up one another in Christ. So there's my little tangent on that.

Be sure to join us again next week! Same time and place! God is doing awesome stuff! You don't wanna miss out!

Oil to Fire night 1 recap :)

 Last tuesday was amazing! I was kinda nervous at first, I mean you never really know how something like this is gonna go. Corey and I know that we are called to prophetic worship and the way we feel led to lead in this way is to pray and get God's heart for the evening and then just see what happens! As far as the "Oil" hour goes, we sat down about 10 minutes before we were gonna start and asked God, "what do we do?" We don't really plan out our songs. We wait for God to lead us. So, I really shouldn't ever be surprised but I'm just always so impressed with God. Corey got the song "Wrap me in your arms" and I got the song "Embrace"! I just love it. At first I was kinda bummed because I was thinking "aww man, it's not the same song". Then I thought about what the songs were and just started laughing. I'm so impressed with God and how He does things. So we had our direction and just went for it. And it was so great! I love just being able to sing whatever God puts on my heart in that moment! It's so cool! There's really no other place I'd rather be. It was perfect.

The "Fire" part of the night was just fantastic! I couldn't be happier with the band and how they have just taken the vision that Corey and I have and just made it their own! They did amazing! It was such a great time of prayer for families in America! I know God is moving through them. Prayer makes such a difference! I think we really underestimate it sometimes! But it moves God's heart when we take time out of our busy schedules to come to something like this to cry out for the important things in the world! How much do we want to see change! How much sacrifice are we willing to make! I don't think that 2 hours of prayer is too much sacrifice. Jesus gave His life. That's what I want to give.

I look at what God has called me to, and I'm just in awe. Really He knows me so much better than any person ever will, and even myself! He has guided me to exactly what He knows I'll be good at and what I'll love. He's never gotten it wrong! Yeah, sometimes I think He's absolutely out of His mind, but He's way to good to not follow. He always makes it work. ALWAYS!
Well I hope to see you at Oil to Fire next week! Were gonna be praying for EDUCATION!!!! I can't wait!
