I went to Tehillah late last night but got there during the offering, which was a blessing, to be sure!
The night was about Holy Spirit. And the time after the talk was a throwback to the late 1990’s, when Beth & I first started attending.
The following is the bit of writing that flowed through me. It was definitely inspired, because when I finished there was nothing left to say… just singing and praying to be done. The power in the room was palpable. The power of prayer for people I didn’t know - amazing. (By this I do not mean that I went and prayed for people at the front. Rather, I remained in my seat and prayed as the need arose. I distinctly remember “opening”, breaking of fear, and filling.)

Strength & Power descends from on high, and those struck facedown are given ability, knowledge, and faith. They rise, filled with that which is necessary for them to follow their dreams - dreams given them by God - dreams planned for them since long before they were conceived. This renewal is evident in every step they take. They have been equipped to take the steps they are called to take, to fight the battles they will - they must - face as they follow along the path set before them. They are triumphant. Not will be, but are. It is instantaneous, this outpouring of Spirit. Not gradual. There is no “little bit” here - it’s all or nothing, take it or leave it.
