Firestorm at CCK

So, what can I say about Firestorm... WOW... let's say it again backwards ... WOW!!

Firestorm was nearly three weeks ago. I find that after people come and prophecy and heal, etc. I have to really fight to keep that word and put it into practice.

Firestorm was the same weekend as the food drive and while my schedule for the weekend was crazy, the Lord's grace was so evident. However, I also knew that it was my greatest week of attack. Relational things came up but God also used that week to reveal fears and lack of trust and I saw much rise up in me. During the week the Lord just poured into me more identity on who I am in Him and how I was doing part of what I was created to do. I was also very blessed to have Katy M. and others to encourage me through the week and through the uncertain times. They were definitely a Godsend.

Awhile back April made the suggestion that I quit carrying my heavy laptop on my back and put it in my laptop bag on wheels. So I did. But Thursday night, as I was getting ready to leave work, I put the bag on my shoulder (along with three other bags) and felt my back tweak and the bags dropped to the floor.

My back was sore .... really sore .... the next day. I went into food drive full of hope but realistically still in a lot of pain. Friday night's Firestorm meeting was great. Saturday night after food drive the emotions of all that happened got the better of me and I cried. I was prayed for regarding my back first by Dr. Rand and then later, as others began to dance in a circle and in the aisles after prayer up front, Pastor Kevin began to pray for my back, not stopping. I was in such pain I felt I couldn't dance and move as I wanted to while everyone else was around me. At the end, Kevin Dedmon made the comments, "some of you will be healed on your way home, some will be healed as you sleep tonight, some will be healed over the next days, weeks and months." Pastor Kevin turned to me and said "Take that word! That word is for you!" I did and I went home and cried out to the Lord. The next morning I woke up and 90% of the pain was gone. I was a bit nervous the next morning (which was Sunday) going into worship. I wanted the freedom to dance if I felt moved to. I felt the Lord say my healing would come in my abandoning myself in worship to Him. And it did! I danced and danced and the pain was gone. Even since then there was a time when I felt the soreness begin to return and I once again turned myself over to Him in worship and pain left me. He is so good!

Sunday night Pastor Kevin D. preached on joy and being drunk in the Spirit. The motto? Get Drunk, Stay Drunk, Get Others Drunk!!

My mind went back to a rap song I listened to (yes, I listened to Christian rap in one part of my life! :D). The words are below.


TBONE >> Drunk in the Spirit

Once again I gots to grab the mic
and start to bring the funky
I don't know whats happening
but I'm really kinda drunk in the spirit
cuz' I'm not talking about no type of liquor
the Holy Ghost is the one that gets me drunk much quicker
so let me go ahead and grab the mic and flow
driving drifle style that you ain't hearing about
cuz' I be into doing brand new things
I bring the styles and Muffler brings the jazzy swings
Like the one that you be hearing in the background
Styles like a moaning and a whole strictly underground
But we be kicking all of these styles on purpose
Never repeat myself and save them lyrics that be worthless
Cuz I be talking about the Great I am, My Savior
The one who gets me drunk constantly

I should be arrested for being under the influence of the Word
Spiritually hungover
Got me throwing up by the curb
And now the devil wants to make me walk the plank
But I punch him in the lip and take another sip

We'll be drunk in the Spirit,
you can find T-Bone staggering with the funny sway
We'll be drunk in the Spirit
La De Da La De Da La De De De La De Day

I don't know how to explain the way I feel
My mind is going underground
All I know is that I am about to fall and hit the ground
Cuz' my body keeps swaying like a boat
It won't stay still
I'm feeling totally dizzy
the room is spinning like a windmill
It all started when the pastor laid his hands on me
he said "there it goes right through you"
it made my mind go boo ya
So here I am in the studio drawn back a ryhmying note
flipped by the Holy Ghost so I be feeling totally fine, yo
La De Da
It makes me want to sing
about the joy he brings
when I do my rappin' thing
The way I feel right now
I wish that you could all feel
the power of the Spirit
thats more stronger then Tequila
cuz' nothing compares to the soul that goes drunk
thats the way that I feel right now
makes me wonder how
God could have the power
to make a man feel this way
so pass me the Holy water
cuz' I don't drink no Tangorade
