Wonderful Meetings

We have been in some wonderful meetings at a prayer retreat in Norway. Any time we can worship is wonderful...but there was something special this weekend. I have to say that playing with the New Wine worship team (Per Kjetil and Ivar) had a lot to do with it. When talented musicians yield to the Holy Spirit, amazing things can happen.

We stayed in the presence of the Lord for the better part of two and a half hours. In that time there was prophecy (in word, song and on the instruments), dance, personal ministry, Bible readings, Norwegian folk songs, harp solo, exhortations...just about everything you can imagine. God took us on a flowing journey into His grace.

At the end of the meeting we noticed a thin layer of gold dust all over the floor and on tables - evidence of the King's presence for sure, but how we longed for this glory to be in our hearts. It has been a long time since I have seen the gold dust on hands etc. It is not that we would look for this, it is simply delightful to have spent such a deep time with the Lord and then to see evidence that He enjoyed it as well.
