Salvation Springs Up

So Praise God!

At the prayer tent we have been seeing awesome transformations of people's attitudes, their days, and what God meant to them before they entered. Who's to say whether it is the aroma of Christ or just the light shining. I have seen, and many others, people walk in, not knowing what is happening with the 40 days of prayer, and they walk in and after a minute or two they just break into tears. I personally knew a girl that came in and she told me of the freedom she was hit with in just entering. But regardless of what the person shows outwardly, every person who wasn't regularly apart of the actual prayer movement have had to battle a little something inside to just come in. When they did, a new light was seen in their face, and when I talk to them before they leave, they bless me with their words! I haven't heard one person say anything but "I am so glad I decided to come in here!" SERIOUSLY! Like it's no little thing to hear that, when everyone is bogged down in school work and life, to have a place of freedom is huge, and that is all God.

We can do nothing to provide that elation and power. It's just a little old chapel among mammoth buildings with handmade poster boards full of prayers and praises. He has decided to make His home where the people call on His name in humble reverence, we know this to be as where two or more gather, there the Lord is also. His promise to us.

The late night hours have been amazing as four of us take the 12-2am shift and students walk by outside as they leave studying for hours, take a look inside and find students on their faces, a beautiful voice from the piano piercing their souls with the heartfelt praise and people pacing and shouting to God, regardless of the weary bodies that tell us to stay down. Recently I have had multiple chances to preach the Gospel as many others have done also, but not by us standing on the sidewalk waiting, but us praying in the tent, people come up to us, asking what HE is all about!! Literally the Lord is drawing lives closer to His heart. I have seen at least 4 people walk up to the tent, pleading for prayer as they are distressed in their lives, and their families' troubles elsewhere. People are understanding the power of prayer, the comfort to know something is in God's hands.

I truly know that God is healing hearts, seeking the lost, healing the lame (still waiting, but ohh it's coming) all for the Glory of His name. He is calling the prodigals home, and I watch it as we invite people to events and they show up! They want church, they miss the presence of God! So PRAY, because as Daniel prayed and fasted for 21 days, then the angel showed up, and said "Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days." So the prince of the Persian kingdom held the Lord's soldiers back, so does the enemy here at ASU, but our prayers are ALWAYS heard, to heal this sick land, we must persevere and wait for the Lord to come and redeem the broken lives and bring back His name onto the campus that we all LOVEASU!!

GOD BLESS, His Love Endures Forever, it is our Battle Cry.
