Commissioning


About  two weeks ago I felt a strong desire to go to my friends church. The Church is known as Expression 58  and they seek to live out Isaiah 58 by creative means. One of the reasons why I love it because of the differing ways people express their worship to God. It is not uncommon to see people perform beautifully choreographed dance or paint as the leader is leading us in songs. I live for ministry, but when you are constantly giving it is easy to find yourself running dry. I go to this church in instances such as this. 


Come this August, I will have been working in Los Angeles for a year to help end Human Trafficking. This has become a passion of mine and I will move out to LA soon to further it. That night after an amazing hour of worship the Pastor came up and asked all those who felt called to work in Los Angeles to remain standing, so I did. He prayed a prayer of commissioning over us. As he prayed and my friend laid hands on me I felt an amazing surge of power run through me. One that could never have originated from myself. 

In that instance God's passion and desire for Los Angeles became blatantly apparent to me. Not only that, but He revealed to me what my part in His desires would be. I am learning to declare war... War on trafficking. War on Sin. War on all types of Slavery.  

It is both compelling and frightening
