Today, we all walked into corporate worship and intercession expecting to meet God and lift up our praises. Although God honored both of these in mighty ways, He also freed us from the chains of self-consciousness and embarrassment. The room exploded in movement.. many saw images of waves taking over the ballroom and stirring up all present, carrying us to be liberated to praise. I saw a butterfly, breaking free from its cocoon and taking flight for the first time. The room erupted with new expressions of worship.. a prayer chain dancing and intertwining through the crowds, all forms of dance, drumming, screaming, shouting, singing.. vibrance in the fullest. God freed us from many, many things to allow us to come like a child and wrap our arms around His leg, looking up at our loving Father. It was beautiful. I am, for the most part, speechless.. but I had to convey this in words to remember the validity of this moment. The moment we were set apart to praise our Lord with no inhibitions.. marking a magnificent journey to the feet of His throne. I am in awe.
Childlike faith has returned.
