Encouraged by a dear friend of mine, i decided that i need to journal it down. so why not blog it and let people read it? :)

It was an ordinary Saturday night; before heading back to London, she decided that it would be nice to visit her friend Karyn. They converse freely, talking about all that their God is doing in Toronto-the healing of the nation, revival in churches, changes on campuses etc. Being excited of the revival that is happening all around her, she drove back to London that day, feeling a sense of unsettled yearning to see more. This young girl said to her God, "Father, why aren't I seeing all that you have mentioned in ACTS. I want to see more; please father, I want to be obedient. Give me a word, like the one you gave to karyn's pastor; father, i also want a word and follow it through with obedience!"

She cried out again while driving, "Father, I want to see my campus change. I want to see your people being Bold. I want to be obedient."

She then heard a gentle voice, "Seek after me. Pray and seek after me."

As soon as she arrived in London, she called her friend Carrie, who also has a heart for Western, and asked to pray with her that night. Within minutes of praying and crying out to the Lord, the Faithful one who hears finally spoke. He told Carrie that they must immediate walk around campus and boldly pray for more. As they were walking out, this young girl heard from her father, "Boldly ASK! Wait and be obediently. I shall soon give you a word." And surely enough that night, he did.

As these two girls walked out, one of them saw a dead branch. Withered on the ground, she thought nothing of it until the Lord used it to give her a word later on. and that is: "the state of this campus is like this dead branch; apart from the vine, they are dead and can do nothing. But I can raise up the dead and cause them to live."

Soon enough, the Lord gave Carrie a word: "Be bold." he says "A city on a hill cannot be hidden, if you want people to know, you'll have to come out!" Being all excited, Carrie suggested that they should gathered people, all the fellowships, to worship at the Renaissance Square- an elevated platform right in the center of the campus.

Catching the burning fire, this young girl started to imagine how amazing it would be to gather his body and worship!!! As they continue to worship and sing over the campus that night, Carrie decided that Tuesday Nov. 8 would mark a beginning of something great.

So it happened.

The Lord send forth His word, and He provided faith for those who believed.

Sunday Morning. even though there were visible doubts in their hearts, the Lord did not stop in reassuring His authority and dominion on this campus. He reassured these two girls that it was not just "a thought." Sunday morning, they found out that Tues. Nov. 8, a random date they've chosen, was also Passion's intertional day of prayer-uniting all campuses all over the nation and the world to pray for this generation and their respective campuses. Not only that, Sunday night, a blog was sent to both these girls, through many different people, reassuring them that God has ordained this event since the beginning of time-that it was not just some random thing! This blog mentioned people whom, a week ago, worshiped and preached in the middle of their campus through the leading of the Holy Spirit. oh. how encourged these girls were that night. < http://jaesonma.blogspot.com/2005/10/prophetic-worship-apostolic-preaching.html>

Leading up to Tuesday, massive emails were sent out. People everywhere heard about this news. The word on the street between believes on that Monday was: "hey, renaissance square tomorrow, you coming?" It was soo cool. Monday afternoon, the young girl gathered with her, people to pray and cry out at the Renaissance Square. After much prayer and battling, all three of them were assured that the Lord was about to do something sooo great that people wouldn't believe even if they were told.

Above all, the coolest part was the event itself and stories after that. That morning, people gathered around to pray. walking around the concrete beach 7 times, claiming the place for the Lord. Each time they pray, they felt the strongholds of the devil, yet the reassurance of His victory was even greater.

As the event began, it started out to be a bit dry-people were afraid, discourged, self-concious etc. The mightly God started to speak to this group. He reassured them that His words will not return to Him empty, that He who is in their hearts is way bigger than he who is in this world. After much brokenness within the group, people finally started to worship freely. It was one of the most beautiful things she has ever seen.

People walked by, wondering what the heck was going on. Believers disperse themselves all over the concrete beach and started talking to people. Some talked for minutes, some talked for hours. There were people who were really interested, and some who just wanting a debate-but all was good!! That day, those obedient ones who came out, worshipped from 10am-2:00pm. No one in particular was leading, everyone helped out in whatever way they can. oh. the beauty of that sight. the body coming together and working together; each doing their part without any claims of anything-just one desire, to see this campus change and people being saved.

Even cooler stories: His name and renown did not stay within Renaissance Square, but disperse throughout different classrooms that day. One friend said that his classmate asked him if he knew what was going on that day at the Renaissance Square. So this obedient friend started sharing to him about Christ. Furthermore, one brother approached a guy who was standing near the Renaissance Square; without explaining, the guy said that he was not in the mood to talk about any philosophical issues. However, that very afternoon, the brother went to class and saw the same guy there. He sat next to him and the guy asked this brother if he could have his email; apparently, he has a lot of questions he wants to know about Christianity. PTL!!! Also, an obedient sister talked to this girl for an hour. They will start meeting weekly, attending church, and studying the book of John together. WOW. PTL!!!

but all in all, that day His name and renown were known amongst people who did not know Him. Also, people who knew him, their hearts were challenged that day to be ever more Bold by Standing firm for His name and Renown. That day was a beginning of something so much greater that is still yet to come.

.....PASSION TORONTO!! Here I come!!! tuesday Nov. 22. doors at 6:00 begins: 7:00. (changed time)! Don't miss it guys!!! :)
