AMI Revolution 2008

Hopefully, the following posts about AMI will read much more like a testimony than anything.

If you were to ask me, "What was the most meaningful thing you heard while at AMI Revolution?" I would respond that it was something along the lines of 1 Kings 19.

11 The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by."
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

There were powerful times of worship, where I felt like the wind of the Holy Spirit would shake the room. There were great speakers, who were laying down the Lord's word with real authority. There were prayer times when I felt like the fire of the Lord was just spreading throughout my body, and I would begin to sweat, even though the room was cold.

But it was a single moment, a single sentence, a single prayer from a friend that did it.

"How beautiful are the feet."

Romans 10 says:

14How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

Here's a question: are our feet beautiful or not?

More to come.
