As you were growing up did you ever have a favorite band or singer that if they came within 200 miles of where you were you weren’t going to miss it?  I have heard stories of people driving 10-15 hours to go to one concert and then turn around and drive right back home.  Well, news flash I don’t like anybody that well but if I were to ask you how far would you drive to go see Jesus, what would your response be?  Now I know that if you are already a believer that you know He never leaves you, however there are times that the spirit will move among a group of believers and you can feel His presence as if He physically walked in the door.   And as a pastor I want as many people to experience that as possible.  I want other believers to want to be in His presence and in the presence of other believers for worship, growth, and a constant spiritual check.  So on that note; what an awesome blessing Saturday night was.  I know that the majority of our congregation missed it and I am truly saddened by this as it was a time of reflection, release, and healing among those of us that were there.  We worshiped God with singing and with a video that gave us true perspective into how accurate we are in our thoughts about how “BIG” God really is.  I truly feel fortunate that I was able to participate in this worship service and I cannot wait for another one.  I hope that the people that attended will express how awesome it was so that those who weren’t able to make it this time will come next time.  I guess the best thing about the whole evening was (I type with tears in my eyes) that I got to watch my spouse worship her Heavenly Father without interruption and without hesitation.  And as always Christ did not disappoint, He came and met her and He began restoring her in areas where she was down and hurting.

Matthew 18:20 (New American Standard Bible)
 20 “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”

 Jesus tells us in the verse that He would come be anywhere we as Christians are gathered and as usual He honored his promise.  If you missed Saturday night I urge you to try everything in your power to make the next one!  I promise you will be blessed, not because of anything that we do but because of God Almighty and His Son!
