Harvest America




Alright, so, best night in a long time!

It's so amazing to see so many believer come together for one purpose; to praise and worship God. Instantly, when The Katina's started playing their first song, tears came to my eyes. Just being in that atmosphere, I was so filled with joy! 
Lacrae also performed. I don't really know any of his songs but it's great how there are so many different genres that can help different people come to God. Looking at Lacrae and hearing him rap, if you don't listen to his words you would think he was just rapping about nonsense. As they put up the lyrics to his song and actually read them, he could draw so many people in and then they would understand and take in what he is really talking about. 
NEEDTOBREATHE came out and sang as well. I don't know many of their songs but one they played I absolutely loved. Again, it's so great to be able to worship God with hundreds and thousands of people! Ah it's just an incredible feeling. 
Kirk Franklin came out last and sang. He's a trip. He really gets you into it. Kye and I got up and danced with Kirk Franklin and everyone use in the arena! 
He had such a good time. At first he was kind of scared because this was the first time he was in a packed arena with loud music. But he started getting into it. Putting his hands up and clapping. He was too cute. 
Greg Laurie came out at the end and gave the message. About HOPE. I never actually heard him preach before but I would love to hear him preach all the time. My dad listens to him on iHeartRadio which I definitely need to start listening to. He is a great preacher who really gets the message across. 

I can not wait to go back tomorrow night. To hear more groups sing and to hear another great message from Greg Laurie. Who ever is reading this and is in the area, I invite you to go to HarvestAmerica.com and come to The Wells Fargo center in Philly to experience something amazing!

I love for the time when I can spend everyday like tonight. Surrounded by people with same purpose; to praise and worship God. That is my life goal!

In Prayer

Do you want to grow spiritually?  Of course we do! I do!  Pastor Greg Laurie goes more into depth of prayer while studying The Lord's Prayer in Luke 11.  The basic things are the main things we need to focus on. Stating the most important things are the simplest things. Prayer is communicating and listening to God. In Luke 11 the disciples are asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus then began ' The Lord's Prayer '.  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2 We must pray according to the will of God. We need to ask God to give us the plan for our life. His will for us will be done on this earth, only if we ask.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. Luke 11:4 We need to confess our sins, even if we don't believe we have do

The 'Traditional Family'

Tuesday while listening to Greg Laurie, he said something that really hit home and I began to feel sad, upset, hurt and even a little angry. This is what he said and I quote  "The idea of a traditional family seems to be something of the past. So many broken homes today... We have to visit dad and his new wife and we have to visit mom and her new boyfriend and I have all these new step brothers and sisters and the whole thing is sort of...icky. Uncomfortable. Awkward." -Greg Laurie  Well Pastor Greg, you hit that one spot on. Before he made that quote he addressed that there are broken home in the result of divorce. However, to be in that situation he described doesn't always have to be the result of a divorce. It could simply be the result of ignorance as well!  Growing up, I always told myself I would never have a broken family, and if you have kept up with my blog you have heard that plenty of times.  Well no one ever wants to have a broken family. But for me, that was

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”
