Musing: The power of God invades a school

Tonight here in the shelter I got involved in a conversation which touched on the need for all of us to be carriers of the anointing so as to bring about our Father’s kingdom.

As we were chatting I remembered back in the late 80’s and early 90’s I was a principal of a Christian school. I recalled how there were a few mornings that we never left the chapel. We would start every day with a chapel service and on different occasions the presence and power of God filled the room. Students were weeping, laughing, praying one for another, praying in tongues, prophesying and many were laying on the floor touched by the power of God.

There were a few times we never made it to the classrooms because the power of God was still moving when parents came to pick up their children in the afternoon. Even after the parents arrived God continue to move.

I so long for the days when we once again see God move in every area of our lives. When I was bi-vocational  having a secular job and working in the ministry I use to teach a bible study before work once a week. Even inside of a business setting God would move. There be prophesy, words of knowledge, laughing and weeping because God was present.

I continue to meditate on a verse from yesterday. It’s important to meditate/muse over scripture because it fills us with the heart and mind of our God which we can carry not just for a moment but that it becomes part of who we are.

• 1 Thessalonians 1:5 “For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.”

May those around us also know “know what kind of men we are.”

Father, move we pray that your Kingdom may come…
