Two nights ago, I can truthfully say was one of the most amazing things I have ever decided to do. Sometimes I didn't know what I was doing, crying, laughing, smiling.. but I knew God was there, he touched me that night as he did to so many others. So what's it all about? Re:mission, is a mission, so much effort gets put into it each year, and I am proud. For anyone who has been to MAD weekend and or Youth night Belfast, will know what I mean when I say it is life changing. In every one of those events and all of the other ones going on in the world, God IS there, he works in the people. So we sing with the band, we listen to someone tell us their testimony and then we worship, the speaker for the night was Noel and he spoke, he is a Dub and he grew up in a rough community... he drank, took drugs, but one night he listened to a tape he had been given, he was high on drugs but he started to cry, the next day he got invited to the stadium and got to hear about God, both him and his girlfriend (who is now his wife) gave their lives to God. Amazing. God YOU are just amazing. He prayed for us and asked anyone who was there that wanted to be saved by their saviour to stand up, about 8 people stood up and left to go to a prayer room... the lead singer did the same thing again later and about 3-4 people stood up, so about 12 people became followers of Jesus Christ in one night. One night. Out of 5 nights of Re:mission. Can you imagine. God is AMAZING.
Re:mission 2011 affected me. Greatly. Something clicked, in the last few worship songs, something just happened... we were singing 'Jesus Paid it All' and I started crying, Clare beside me was the same, I really wanted to turn to hug her, but I couldn't stop singing, I just couldn't tear myself away from it. I changed, for the better. I do owe everything to Jesus... I mean would you let someone nail you to a cross and leave you there to die, for everyone in the world? I know I wouldn't, how amazing would you have to be? That amazing. God was telling me something, lately I've been very distracted, distant and not bothered with anything. I wasn't happy, it wasn't right. I see all of these things now. Re:mission has changed me. 'Oh praise the one who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead' God I thank you.
Guys, be God's. Be his. Let him use you in whatever he wants. Let him in to your life.
'SO I SHOUT YOUR NAME, FROM THE ROOFTOPS I PROCLAIM THAT I AM YOURS, I AM YOURS, ALL THAT I AM I PLACE INTO YOUR LOVING HANDS, I AM YOURS, I AM YOURS'
Rooftops- Jesus culture.
'SO I'LL STAND WITH ARMS HIGH AND HEART ABANDONED, IN AWE OF THE ONE WHO GAVE IT ALL'
Thank you Re:mission. Thank you God.
