Hey everybody, Phonk here! Its Monday....yaaaayyyyy! Most people are probably thinking "Why is he so happy its Monday?". You see, for us, Monday is the first day of a week in which we will see the faces of approximately 4,000 students!!! Yes, our job is awesome. And our first task this morning was at Central Middle School and we did a GREAT assembly. The lights actually went out in the middle of my closing message...but it was amazing...I used the darkness as if it were a stage prop...very dramatic indeed!
So the assembly went really well, but the day actually started a little 'off beat', meaning the devil threw off our natural rhythym. You see, one of the most deceiving 'traps' the devil uses is one of 'offense'...meaning when someone gets offended, he then makes a person soak it, bottle it, and store it inside of them causing it to eat away at their spirit, ultimately causing a lack of focus and a level of seperation from the Lord. This morning it was evident that our tour manager had a few 'offenses' stored up inside, thus allowing the devil to use it against us.
This happened right before we went out on stage for the assembly and I cant emphasize enough how hard it was to stay focused on our assignment. We stayed calm as a group, but the coffee had been stirred up just enough......and so the show started rough and lacked the spirit and excitement that we normally give. But we pray before every show, and this prayer was very specific..right to the point. We asked God to bless us with His mighty presence and fill the school with love and grace......and SURE ENOUGH....HE SHOWS UP!!!
It was like night and day. At one specific point in the show you could literally FEEL the 'swing' in spiritual momentum. And it was GLORIOUS! We played the rest of the show with complete comprehension of the divine authority that was granted to us by the LORD HIMSELF! And watch out!
And you know, the kids could tell....they began to attach themselves to us.....and before you know it...they are listening intently to a portion of my testimony...not even knowing that a seed is being planted and that God will then send a gardner to water them and protect the beauty that grows within each of their hearts.....
Needless to say, it was amazing. God is wonderful. The devil tries so many times and in so many different ways...sending his soldiers with swords of steel that clash into the mighty swords the Lord has blessed us with....but the devil doesnt even realize that his steel is sharpening HIS STEEL. How about that......
Talk to you all again soon...God bless.
- Phonk - signing out....
