Injustice is rampant
Bother us, oh God
Kids being sold,
For the pleasure of the wicked
Slaves of this century
Never to be set free
So poor, unable to even
Afford names for the children
Bother us, oh God
Aids epidemic
Destroying families
Bother us, oh God
Give us wisdom
Not even water to drink
Nor do they have food
Oh God
Bother us!

weekend for conquerers
Well first of all i would like to say that this weekend, well pretty much rocked me. i really needed this since I've been feeling pretty dry lately and i really needed a filling up.
Fill me up
How did I end up like this
So empty, so dry
I need your touch
The words you know I need to hear
Fill me up, fill me up
Teach me to listen
To dig deeper than the surface
Give me passion, give me dreams
Show me these things
It's you who's there
When I want to run
To run and hide
When it's so tough
You break me down and
Fill me up, you fill me up
When you speak
Just to remind me that I'm your son
Just to say your proud of what I've done
To reassure my mind
Broke down my walls
Shattered my chains
Set me free from this pain
So full of the spirit
You've brought me back
I've been filled, God you filled me up
This whole weekend was just such a trip from the first night i knew it was going to be powerful and God was going to be right there the whole time. The first pre-service prayer i could tell that his presence was going to be so tangible. As i was praying i could tell that I was already getting filled. The first session was great, Kristina did such a great job!... (thanks again for coming all the way from California for us!) She spoke about being amoung the few and the faithfull that would be there and respond to God when ever he was speaking.
The next morning I was just sitting there with my bible and i just opened it to John 19, where it's going through Jesus' crucifiction, and God was just telling me that these people didn't want to go out side their comfort zones or outside their single mindedness to just believe that this was the messiah that would save their world. And as he is telling me this it was just starting to rock me and put a burden on my heart for the people who dont believe just because it just seems like such an outrageous claim that a man could be the son of God.
Crucify
They sought what they hated
What their deceit had shown
Not wanting to believe
Not wanting to break their "law"
Only one goal
Blinders on only one thing in sight,
Crucify!
"The blood will not be on me,
I'll hand him to you" said the one who knew
Crucify!
The man they were looking at
But they never saw
Hung on that tree
Nails in hand for you and me
Blood spilled that was so pure
Every prophecy fulfilled
Not a bone broken to rise again
In three days come
After i wrote that and had this scripture fresh in my mind Jason walked over and just asked what i was thinking and what would i preach to a group of a thousand if i had to right now..(also a funny coincidence which you will find out later) and i said i would preach about the heart of God for the lost and the ones that don't understand and don't want to believe because of what people will think or what people will do.
Later on in the second session Kristina talked about the Transforming Encounter, and how to deal with our sin through repentance, and the gifts of the holy spirit. Then during worship Sandra Naswel had a word about having visions and how we have to take hold of them, and about life callings and such. Right after that we had a time to just talk with God while hte band played The revelation song, so i sat in the back on a couch not thinking anything big was a bout to happen. But as soon as i said "God what is the calling you have placed on my life" pretty much instantly he said ...."you're going to be a pastor" it hit me like a ton of bricks cause i never saw myself as doing stuff like that since i never have really like public speaking (this is what ties into what Jason said the day before :p )
That night the always amazing Saturday night session was on the transforming encounter and hte time to be changed. and how we were formed for a purpose, that we are God's masterpiece. And how the holy spirit is pretty freekin awesome!!!! so after we had our session it was the ....dun dun "MINISTRY TIME" which is always so phenominal with the holy spirit think like butter in the room people got baptised in the holy spirit, God changed my heart andi know he worked in so many people that night, and i had many a good thing spoken over me, and well frankly I can't put it into words so I'm just going to continue. This morning when we got all our stuff packed and ready to go we got into the main room and i just opened my bible and it opened to Matthew 24 i think it was where it was talking about the reserection of Jesus which i think was some what of a "coincidence" that at the begining of the weekend i read about the crucifiction and now I read about the rise from the grave...
Only One To Defeat Death
For three days you were down
Just as you had said
The one and only
To conquer death
Only you
You knew the road you were on
Headed to save the earth
Worlds pain on your shoulders
Every chance to call on the angels
Rose again for all of mankind
To give hope and joy
Even some still doubted the scars
The one messiah
Only you
Accending to heaven
Leaving us down here to live
Live a life for you
Shine the justice and truth
After the whole pre-service prayer we had a last and final session about the Enduring Encounter, and it was pretty much amazing. well there is so much i left out but i dont want this to be like 7847857278 pages long and im kinda getting tired of typing lol so well i hop that was enough info for now :P and it was a freekin amazing weekend ... oh and i am the CHAMPION OF WII BOXING WOOOOO *flex*

Leave Me Alone
This love so strong
For God and you.
The deciever is lurking
Behind the corner
Tring to twist thoughts.
I close my eyes and he is there
To put doubt in my heart
To lie, To steal
In the name of Jesus
Leave me alone!
Because these pessimistic thoughts
Are not my own.
God cause I know you love me
And so does she.
But there's a battle in my head
Thats almost won.
As I step on Satan
He cries out...
"Your nothing, and she hates you"
But I reply....
"All you do is lie,
So why should I beleive you,
Now get out and die!"
For God and you.

The Love
The trek of our lives
The snow spins our tires
Stuck until he comes
To pull us out
The love, The love
We crash into ravines
God is our tow truck
Ready for the call
Ready to come to our aid
The love, The love
Obstacles that come out
Of no where
Swerving to avoid
We spin out,
Spiraling away from safety
Letting go, leaving it up to God
He guides us back
We let loose,
Our discretion fades, just to show
The love, The love.....The love
The snow spins our tires
Stuck until he comes
To pull us out
The love, The love
We crash into ravines
God is our tow truck
Ready for the call
Ready to come to our aid
The love, The love
Obstacles that come out
Of no where
Swerving to avoid
We spin out,
Spiraling away from safety
Letting go, leaving it up to God
He guides us back
We let loose,
Our discretion fades, just to show
The love, The love.....The love

One
One breath and every star is birthed
One blink and every galaxy formed
One word and there is light
You counted the stars and named each one
One insignificant person
Just a dot on the map
Yet you love me so much
Nothing we can do,
Will make you love us any less or more
Unconditional love.
We try to run but you wait for us,
With open arms and a loving embrace.
One God, One earth, One heart
One blink and every galaxy formed
One word and there is light
You counted the stars and named each one
One insignificant person
Just a dot on the map
Yet you love me so much
Nothing we can do,
Will make you love us any less or more
Unconditional love.
We try to run but you wait for us,
With open arms and a loving embrace.
One God, One earth, One heart
consumeddedddd part 2!
Hokay so....FRICKEN SATURDAY WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! now that i got that out of my system i will tell you about it ! so in the morning, Matt and I did our skit which we did very well as we have been told on many occasions :P and i will try to get a video of it on here at another time.
But right after that it was worship and you would think that a bunch of kids running on 5 hours of sleep or less wouldnt be that into worship?? WRONG it was so powerful, and im so glad that all the Youth there pressed in so hard first thing in the morning. That is always a good sign for what is to come later in the day, but yea the worship was phenominal and it just gives me such joy to see so many youth just together praising God with such intensity. Pastor Ira did a phenominal Job of his sermon ...AGAIN. all the sessions were just so powerful and Holy spirit inspired it was so awesome.
Workshops! well i went to Politics in canada which was done very well my our very own Pastor Matt!!! he did such a great job of teaching how we as youth can do something to help out in politics and government, very very good. The second i went to was on evangelism which was done by Pastor Mike from the comox penticostle Also phenominal, teaching us how and what to do to tell people about Jesus!. But best of all the was the ministry time after the last session, like as Pastor Ben said the holy spirit was so so so so tangible, every one was crying and so many people were getting baptised in the holy spirit. ... in summary it went on for 2 hours and it was so GOOD!!!!!!

CONSUMED
So as most of you know we have an annual youth conference called Consumed at NorthGate. So this whole week in the up coming of it, i was so ridiculously excited and it started last night. As the people were fiulling in for registration i was just so pumped for what was going to come next. And what came next you ask? ....THE SERVICE, and you know sometimes on the first night of a camp or conference people dont press into God as much, well i am happy to inform you that they sure did press in.
The worship was phenominal and pastor Ira freekin amazing as usual, we ar eso bless that we have great speakers at Consumed like Ben and Ira, they are such amazing men of God and i thank you guys for coming down to speak for us.
Well its the start of Day 2 the BIG Saturday, and im so excited for whats to come with the Sessions, Workshops, Worship, Service project and all the other great amazing things that will come with consumed. You can expect another update post after all is said and done, if your lucky there might be a few poems to come out of this too :P
