sitting here 1 in the morning, sippin on Strawberry Milkis, tired from a long day...
but filled with a fresh view of the cross!
caught the 8pm service @ Hillsong NYC w/ an awesome group of brothers and sister~
up until the final point of the sermon i was convicted and encouraged to let off the chains of self-sufficiency and then his last point did it for me~ i was blown away by the driving point of his msg and encouragement to us all~
talking about letting loose our chains of discouragement and indifference~to not judge and live a faith with love not condemnation... and then he tells us that the only thing that can motivate, compel, to bring life to dry bones..... was to keep a fresh view of the cross daily!
it was a refreshing word~ it was a timely word...
Christians these days need a fresh view of the cross and let off these chains that say the cross of Christ only applies to those who are ready. no one is ready, that's the point of the cross... to meet us in places only the blood of Christ can save us from, to break chains that only the power of God can let loose...
"Lord let us be a generation that seeks your face and sees the center piece of the cross in this crazy mosaic of our lives"
all of us came out needing to catch a breather and just overwhelmed by the Spirit of God that was running so thick in the atmosphere and in the people.
afterwards we went to one of my favorite pizzeria's, if not, the best pizzeria! Rosa's =)
i also bought tickets to the MArch 10th UNITED concert for me and my New Wave Band @ EMC, i can't wait to go with the NWB~ i'm excited to c how God will move in our lives that night!
HOLLA! =)
i was so encouraged to c my friends worship God and even our friend that Curtis invited~ it was amazing =)the highlight of the night for me was when i met Joel Houston!
this guy has been an inspiration and role model for me as a worship leader and a Christian~ man.... kick 1 in the bucket list!
my friends said i was like a little kid overjoyed in finally getting to meet his hero~
JEsus paved the way, thank u God for blessing me with unspeakable joy and ur undeserved favor!still can't believe i got a picture w da dude, praise God! lol
ne way,
the next couple of days i'll be away with the New Wave and friends on our annual Ski/Snowboard Retreat~ i can't wait! =)
will keep u posted
sigh* i need some rest....
"thank You God for being such a good God... even when i really don't deserve your favor. There's no one else i'd rather live for, then the 1 who gave me life and the 1 who knows how my heart beats...you are amazinngg"

Hey hey heyyyy JPayyyy
That's awesome stuff! I'm also going to go to a Hillsong concert during spring break in Georgia! You probably didn't get tickets for the Georgia one (or did you? I couldn't tell...), but either way, I'm praying that we'll be genuinely blessed by the spirit of God in worship!
I hope all is well (and it certainly seems to be!) God bless, Jaypee. =]
