The Other Side of the Altar

Wow, what an absolutely incredible day of worship at The Brooklyn Tabernacle!  The moment I walked in the door I felt the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit.  By the time we got to the first song, I was holding back the tears.  It was such a relief to be in a place where nothing was expected of me but uninhibited praise!  I was there with no responsibility other than hearing from the Father.  The famous 200 voice choir was drowned out by the 4000 of us praising him with all that was within us.  What a blessing!

The time flew by and the next thing I knew, Pastor Cymbala was calling every Pastor to the altar to be prayed over.  The tables had turned.  I was on the other side of the altar.  My hands lifted high in praise as Pastor and his staff laid hands on me and others and pleaded for God's fresh touch in our lives.  I was recieving, not giving.  It felt good.

The day was capped off by an afternoon service with Dr. Tony Evans.  He brought a strong word about the authority of the church given us by Christ.  He brought the house to thier feet in celebration.  Thank you Jesus for pouring out your Love on me today!
