What to Expect

We met on Tuesday for prayer at Westview, and BBtT organizer Dan Biser was with us. One thing he asked was, what are you expecting from this year? Truly, we aren't sure, because last year God Himself met us, and it's hard to put an easy, single expectation upon what might happen this year. We know one thing--we expect God.

But one person raised a caution, hoping people won't leave disappointed if they don't immediately see something with their eyes. That's a good caution, even for myself (Tracy). It was interesting how God worked with what I saw last November. He started many things in me and in others at that point, that has continued over the following year.

How about these: God's name is holy and God's people are profaning it...God's people should be invisible...the idea of gathering...the church is powerless, desecrated, and in need of a reformation...we must return to God...dying to self, not loving our lives...unity among the body (in the Spirit)...tears...too strong in ourselves not strong in God...and more.

It should be frightening that people who are seeking God are finding precisely the same things. This is going on all over the country, I am told. It makes me scared a bit.

Today, we'll start off with prayer from 1-4 p.m. We know one thing, we are to worship God, no matter what happens. We take pleasure in His presence, even if we see nothing with our eyes.
