Below you will be able to get a little taste for the Mega Praise event held on January 3rd in Detroit MI, USA.
It was a beautiful event, the Holy Spirit made quite a presence thanks to all the intercession we had coming from all over the world, including many religious orders. Thank you very much for all your time and Love!
Hopefully another Mega Praise will be coming up when I’m back in the US.
God bless you right now, in this moment!
“Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God.”
Naturally, I’ve always thought, “of course if I am a good boy now, I will see God in Heaven; which by the way is a long time from this present moment in which I am facing the struggle for purity.”
I wonder if being pure of heart gives us the ability to see God in the present moment, in our daily lives. Without this purity, it is not that God stops existing, but rather we don’t recognize Him, because our minds have been stuck on the impure, and Jesus is everything that is pure.
What do I need to do to experience God right now? If I’m not experiencing Him in my daily life and bringing Him into other peoples lives, where have I gone wrong? Where did I make a wrong turn and how do I get back on track. Not only the track of purity, but the track of everlasting joy. We can start to experience eternity in the present moment if only we open ourselves up to the creator of time itself.
In Love and Peace,
Andy
I found this great video with U2 doing a praise and worship tune, I’m not sure if the whole concert was praise or just this one song – never-the-less – it is beautiful. I hope you enjoy

I am in the midst of writing my final paper for “Scripture as Literature.” I am writing on Jesus’ words on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” A topic I am tackling is why this in only in Matthew and Mark’s gospels. This is not the point of this article, but rather, the point is an essay I came across as I was researching Jesus being the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophesies.
Matthew was writing mostly to Jews (who were very faithful to the memorization of scripture and the psalms). These words, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?“ are the beginning to Psalm 22 which is nearly a prophesy of Jesus’ entire ministry – speaking of being rejected when following the ways of God, but the faithfulness of God never ends and He will be victorious. The Jews who heard this would have hopefully understood that Jesus is the fulfillment of the all the old testament prophesies (John the Baptist fulfilling the role of Elijah who was to announce the coming of the Messiah Matthew 11:7-14). I came across this article which speaks about Jesus being the fulfillment of not only scripture but our lives. It was pretty powerful and revealing for me to read, I hope you can also get something out of it. Beware: It isn’t the easiest thing to read. You will have to be vulnerable to read this article.

People are experts at justifying themselves. Let me repeat that. People are experts at justifying themselves. Human beings have a unique ability to convince themselves that no matter what they have done they are “okay.” Think about it. How many times have you heard, “Well it wasn’t the best choice, but it will be okay.” Or “Yes I know I shouldn’t have done such and so, but it’s okay. It’s not like I do that all the time.” God has given people creative minds, and we tend to use our powers for evil and not good.
It seems we are most creative when we are convincing ourselves that we are good enough.

A thought that has been coming to me time and time again over the last year is “what are my true passions?” What do I want to do with my life that will bring me to the fullness of Joy and Peace? Each person has their own calling, hence there are different roads (going in the same direction) for each individual to become conscious of and seek Joy and Peace that cannot be given by anything of this world (but can be experienced in this world).
There have been many hours spent alone in contemplation and prayer as well as talking about this topic with others. Jesus came to me so simply one day and made things clear – Him, music, and relationships were the things that I truly have a passion for.

A few weekends ago I travelled to Heidelberg. Matt and I had been talking about doing something fun for the weekend coming up and finally Thursday night we decided that we would leave after work on Friday and go to Heidelberg. The main purpose of the trip was to visit a spa. We thought, “What better way to enjoy a weekend then to get pampered in a spa?”

I feel like one topic that is feared by most parents and nervously awaited by children or teenagers is the “sex talk.” I have a question. Why does this discussion not have a proper starting point? If you jump in and try to explain sex in a 10-20 minute conversation, I think it is completely insufficient and kids won’t get anything out of it, besides for a funny topic at the lunch table with their friends the next day. If many people after years of study and practice don’t fully understand the act, how can a child understand in the 20 minute “talk”? Is there a better way…
Muse. If I had to explain last nights concert in one word: summit. The concert was totally extreme from the beginning with them starting to jam on 3 different stages 10 meters in the air to the ending with blinding lights and smoke shooting into the air. I can’t imagine a band being more extravagant than they were on this tour. At one point, a dozen or so balloons, huge balloons were dropped from the ceiling, and the crowd played around with them for a little until they were popped and confetti was flying everywhere. Before we get to the actual music part of the concert (because isn’t that what it’s all about?), I will tell you my favourite “show aspect:” the lasers. Hundreds of laser beams shooting over the crowd, in the crowd, off mirrors, every way you can imagine, there were lasers. It was beautiful!
