Coming back to God

I've just had one of the most God-filled nights of my life and I honestly only experienced it because I attended a concert out of the desire to hangout with my friends. I know that's a terrible reason to go to a worship concert but, in the beginning that's why I wanted to go. Here is the really cool thing though, I had some of the most honest and real worship of my life. On the way there God began convicting me about my distracted worship that I'd been having a lot and I promised Him that I wouldn't raise my hands and pretend, that I would only do that if I was really worshipping. Well God didn't allow me to be distracted tonight. He pulled me to Him so that all I could do was worship. It was really awesome and then on top of that God spoke to me tonight. One of my really good friends and I had been praying really hard for this girl at our school who isn't a Christian. We had been trying to get her to attend the upcoming Disciple Now, which it just so happens is what this little concert was for. Well she hadn't been real receptive lately and we'd gotten a little discouraged but, tonight God just spoke to us through the worship leader and reminded us that He's got this and He can do what may seem impossible to us, and that as long as we remain faithful that He will answer our prayers. It was really amazing because we both experienced it at the same time and we hadn't even been talking about it. Well I was totally overwhelmed, really I still am but, God is going to work in our city over Disciple Now and I'm so excited to see what He will do as all the seperate churches in our city come together and just lift up our community and the name of Jesus and worship and grow together. If you're not planning on being a part of it I beg you to sign up because God is going to show up and move in ways that we would never expect. 1 John 1:3 says "We saw it, we heard it, and now we're telling you so you can experience it along with us" That's what I'm doing. Don't miss out on the opportunity to grow with our community of believers. If we all commit to it, it will be an awesome, God-filled, sprit renewing weekend where we come back to God.
