The evening started with high expectations. I somehow knew that something was going to happen, I just did not know what. The service started with songs I quite like, but it was nothing special. But then they played this song: Walk On The Water. The lyrics woke me up. Open for everything to follow, I was looking forward to the message. You know what it takes to experience miracles? No?
1. Willingness
God does not force himself on you. He is waiting for you to come and say “Hey God, use me!”
2. Faith
If you trust in God, you do what he tells you to do. If you serve, God makes sure that you have everything you need. Be yourself the miracle! Do not believe IN God, believe AS God! Stop trying it. Do it!
3. Focus
God wants you to walk above the storms in your life without falling apart from him. The biggest miracle in your life is what happens with your heart.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
Ephesians 3,20 (New International Version)
The band again played some songs. The one song I had stuck in my head for the whole day came up. And then, the following song:
Simon Lämmle, this is a thanks to you. First, the lyrics were interesting, but not special. But then, you looked right in my eyes and sang a few lines of the song. The lyrics hit me right in my heart. Immediately, I felt God’s love so close and the whole song had a complete new sense to me. I could not help but crying for the rest of the evening.
I had been waiting to experience that feeling since the Hillsong Live concert, but I did not expect it to happen this Sunday.
All in all, another sermon that touched me deeply and another worship part that made me cry. I love God’s ways!
