Conference Recap: Youth Alive 2012- Thursday Night

There was such a powerful move of God last night! You could tell from the way pre-service prayer soared in the Holy Ghost that God was going to move. The worship was wonderful. The singing was awesome. But the preaching is what did. Many times at conferences you hear these great sermons that go down in history. This message was a milestone in my life. It was so good. Bro Jones preached from one of my favorite scriptures.

"Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned." (Song of Solomon 8:6-7)

Ah, beautiful stuff.

his has been one of my favorite scriptures since high school. We sang a choral arranbement that sang these lyrics. I remember crying every time we finished singing it because I wanted to find a love that deep someday. Thank God I have found that love in him. I have found that love in my husband. It is amazing the parallel between marriage and God's love for the church. Bro Jones talked about returning to your first love. The most important thing you can do is maintain your passion, desire and intimacy with the Lord. People backslide, feel the need to be enteretained, satisfy their desire to be of the world, and leave the church when they fall out of love with Jesus. T I looked around and thought- conferences are great, and dressing up is fun, but more than anything I want to be saved. I want to be the bride of Christ. He is still looking for a bride!! I am so thankful for the reminder that we have to stay in love with the Lord.

Once we got done praying, I got to meet and re-unite with some awesome ladies!!

Look at that diversity! Love it!!
