Such an awesome time with the Lord this morning at church. The worship songs were so relevant and escorted us right in to the holies. Why then, did I feel disheartened right when the worship ends?
I've been thinking about this all afternoon. Laying low, asking the Lord what is up. I'm pretty sure what is missing is an altar call. I felt like when we sang that last song, Revelation Song, what should come next was someone praying and opening up the altar and asking the worship team to continue playing and invite everyone, everyone to come to the altar and meet with the Lord. Be broken before Him, humbled, healed, restored, revived, enlivened, encouraged, wrapped up in His love, enlightened, infused, accommodated, elevated, empowered, forgiven and a few other things :)
Do we have to be a large body to have this? I don't think so. I went to a small ramshackled church on my last trip to Florida and there was the sweetest altar call. Nearly everyone in that little church went forward. A mighty prayer time was led by Sister so-and-so and even a couple of teenage boys couldn't stay back from the blessings that flowed from that altar.
