| Another Saturday Morning...but not the usual.
Prayer yesterday morning was one of the most authentic experiences I've had in awhile.
We did this freestyle sharing-and-prayer session where we'd listen to
God for awhile, and people would speak up about what they felt God was
speaking into their hearts and we'd pray with that, and start all over
again. Folks were speaking up & praying through issues of
community, fear of calling brothers and sisters out, the desire to
speak up in lectures and classes and hearts that were stuck in the
mire. And the crazy thing is that God was working in us gradually as
each person shared and another would pray, and then someone else would
jump in and share and prayer would naturally flow from that and so on...
So organic, so real, so freeing. THanks God.

| I was at Haste House prayer this morning and in the middle some folks
started crying for the broken and lost and oppressed of the world.
Half-sobs, salt-blister tears and only what can be described as cries
to a One who promised to be powerful and mighty and just. I wrote them
down (I hope they don't mind) because they were frightening, they were
foreign and so beautifully and earnestly not-about-themselves (I know
there's the perfect word for this floating around out there).
They were weeping because they had been there, watched
kids cling to their legs, witnessed unjust factory conditions, heard
village women whisper stories of genocide, read statistics about the
6000 kids contracting malaria daily, a continent dying of AIDS, a
single man loitering by People's Park or huddled under the pillar of
the Unit 3 parking garage.
Is the burden too much for their God, is their God doing nothing? Their hearts hunger to be broken again and again like His is.
I wrote down their prayers and tried to mouth them myself. They trickle
out of my throat but never make it to my heart. Man, I still don't know
what it means to have my heart break for anything. It's a tricky little
guilty feeling, I decide, and tell God to do it anyways, break my heart
unequivocally for something or someone other than myself.
At that moment all I know is this pounding desire to know God's heart
so much to be weeping His salty tears on a Saturday morning.

so after Cal Prayer Furnace 48 hours and Fall Conference everything
just SLOWED down. or at least to me. there wasn't a webpage to refresh
anymore and see slots be filled up. the chiming of that doorbell in the
prayer room ceased to echo my my head. there were only lingerings of
God's presence here and there. in fact those 48 hours seem like a whole
different world away. these last few weeks have definitely been about
personal prayer and trying to find God in my own time with Him.. that's
really hard for me!
Praises from 48 hours of prayer!
a girl named Audrey accepted Christ! long story short Jihai was walking
to go pray at the prayer furnace but she felt like God wanted her to go
back.. she decided to heed God's leading and she runs into an old dorm
mate! and that led into a spiritual conversation.. which led to a lunch
date which led to a new sister in Christ!
people are hungry after God! but will we obey God's voice and have the faith to engage in spiritual conversations?
dorm talks up the hizzouse in U1-U2-U3- CKC- U4! please pray for them!
and lastly there is a possible 24/7 hours of prayer
happening the end of this month until December. would you consider
praying for vision, direction, planning and just trusting in God
through all this?
lets keep praying for God to move on this campus.
so I guess I was wrong. God is still moving... you just have to ask him to reveal it to you!

| [A Journal Entry from April 12th, 2005]
Lord,
may we give ourselves and you no rest until your kingdom comes on Earth
onto this campus
God I beseech you I beg you do not turn your face from this campus
Do not let the pile wall of mud cover and engulf this campus
Let your presence rain down and sweep it away
God I feel like you are moving
the lingers and effects of last week's 247 (Cal Invitational) prayer can be felt in this place
There's a cry in my heart for your mercy to fall for your presence to overwhelm our senses
TAKE US BEYOND
God I'm readng about what you can do your power as long as people ask in faith through prayer
If we ask and bug you like the persistent widow you CANNOT NOT move in this place.
Even the unrighteous judge answered the widow
I know there are so many forces so many evils so much binding strongholds on this campus
Go Away.
Go away perfection, go away insecurity, go away sucess, go away striving, go away materialism, go away.
Come Lord Jesus come.
Father reading Red Moon Rising gives me hope
If you can change drug addicts you can change Berkeley
God are you calling for a 247 prayer room on this campus for all the fellowships?
For this campus body to unite under prayer?
Father, if so make it exceedingly clear and have EVERYTHING FALL INTO PLACE
So i can't deny that it's really your plan your movement.
He has established the works of our hands for us. Yes, He has established the works of our hands.
So 24 hour or 48 hour prayer for interfellowship is going to go on
before InterPRAYse. Lets pray that it happens! and that God's hand will
move mightily throught all fellowships. . And that it'll be a continual
thing.. let's pray that personal revival will happen. aiite?
Because clearly, God has established it. He has planned it. And He has
used Becky to speak the word into us, Matt the UIC leader to feel
convicted.. and everything to fall into place.
So lets keep the fire burning and live in such a way that it own't stop.
