Growth and Gremlins

Worship this morning:

Praise Is Rising
Come, Now is the Time to Worship
 (shared some scripture: Ecc 10 v 4 and Eph 6.  When something is sitting heavily on my heart, I know it's the Spirit telling me to share it)

Oh, to See the Dawn
(some talk, communion and then gently leading to..)

Jesus, All for Jesus
Holy Spirit, How I Love You

Gremlins in the PA system today, leading PA man to command it out in the Name of Jesus.  Demon went quiet after that, or left.


A new experiment today, the last two were practically merged together, I was drifting back and forth between them as the Spirit led.  I find Jesus a bit difficult to lead as you can start and finish the verses anywhere, leaving the musicians confused as to which repeat was needed.  Needs some work....

I feel I'm being a bit too factual, maybe self critical, about a morning that was truly wonderful.  The Spirit fell at the end, a wind you could feel and hear as most of the congregation sung in the tongues of angels.  Also, it was good to see the church growing Hallelujah, there were a few extra bods there who may be back.  It truly is an exciting time for the church, and I now feel quiet, somewhat tired maybe, or concerned about tomorrow with my tooth getting seen to, maybe I'm cautious, apprehensive about the future?  I really wish I could read my emotions better.

More than ever, I feel myself growing too.  Next week's choruses are picked, and sent off, very early for me.  A newbie is again being introduced, a new-old favourite of mine - which I hope is as well received as Oh to See the Dawn was today.  He made the right choice.  As I knew He had.

Oh, and some Good News.  The worry over my Christian friend is over.  Praise God!
