Ex-Church

I am literally in the middle of Eikon's gathering right now typing on the free wireless available. A new day, what can I say.

We're in the middle of our "Ex-Churh" service which explores what it means to do church. We are experimenting and experiencing new ways. I find my heart so filled because we're serving God in a 5S/3D way. Using all 5-senses and experiencing in a 3-dimensional way.

We had a few people get up and read scripture, sing songs, read poetry, sing psalms. Then spent a half hour soaking in God's presence. One station has a newspaper that allowed people to read through what's going on in our world and ask God to look at it through His perspective and pray for what's been laid on our hearts. Another station was for communion, another to light a candle of praise for one thing He's done in our lives, another full of pictures of family and friends that we can pray for.

I find myself reading in Ephesians chapter 1. One of the things I like to do is change the tense and read it as if it's a prayer. So, here's my prayer for the morning:

"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed ME with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because I am united with Christ. Even before He made the world, God loved ME and chose ME in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt ME into his own family by bringing ME to himself through Jesus Christ. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased MY freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave MY sins."

I pray blessings on those who read this today, that the Lord strengthen and speak to you in new and fresh ways.
