Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaa Ha Ha Ha Ha haaaaaaaaaaa................................. there's way too much laughing going on ............... I don't know what's happening to me but this week God seems to want to bring out the fun element in our relationship.
He keeps making me laff!!
I've tried to return the compliment and tell Him a joke, but He always knows the punch lines!!!
That's the problem with hanging around Someone who knows everything!
It started (the most recent incident anyway) with- to quote Paul Reid - (www.cfc-net.org/paulblog ) -"one of our young men who has just returned from Lakeland " praying for me on Sunday at church. I didn't even ask him to. I was innocently praying at the front of Church when, like some Angelic appearance, there he was stood in front of me. He took hold of my hands and said "Here Pete, take some of this!" Electricity went through my arms I fell on the floor and began to laugh.......jerk a wee bit... laugh some more..growl...and then laff some more.
The following Tuesday, Jen (read my profile for more info!) and I were out with about a 20 or so other Jesus like people, bringing food, drink and some of Gods love to homeless or lonely looking people in Belfast City centre. We were late back but returned to the upper room of the Church we had set off from. God was already at work with the rest of the group who were in various positions of laughter, some laid out with peaceful expressions on their faces, others praying and prophesying over people and some others just sat enjoying God's presence. I took my guitar out and did some worship which ended with a couple of the leaders praying for me and.......................... well what do you think? ha ha ha haaa ha ha etc again!!
Thursday night at the healing rooms that same 'young man', (by the way he's not that young!!) was praying for the those who lay healing hands on people. He invited me to worship whilst God did His stuff thru him. It began as normal but then I began to struggle to stand, like there was an invisible wind trying to blow me over, other times I couldn't sing for laughing. When he had finished praying for the healing team he came over to me and prayed like he had done on Sunday. No electricity this time but..............me on the floor roaring with laughter and even when I tried to get up to lead some worship.......... no it wasn't happening. Laughter and more laughter...... "My presence is more important than you leading worship" I heard God say.
I was laid out for about an hour.
I have no idea what God is up to but there's this certainty that I'm feeling that Gods love is deep and lasting and that what He calls me to do will all work out to glorify Him.
Amazing love, incredible intimacy, beautiful presence, fantastic joy...............that's what my Father has and is and seems to want me to enjoy.
Wow! wow! wow! (sorry for my limited linguistic expression but this is God we're talking about:0) )
