Day 39 - Outbreak of the Prophetic

We kicked off the conference late Wednesday night with Youthstorm (www.youthstorm.org) leading the charge in worship and prayer. One young woman gave a powerful word.
Often in Boston, we feel that we are fighting through a haze of unbelief and darkness in trying to reach God in prayer and believing to see his power. In reality, we are actually seated with Christ in heavenly places. As Christians in Boston, we need to "rise above" the clouds of darkness and recognize we are seated with Christ in heavenly realms. We can freely decree what God will do from this place of freedom and authority over the darkness.
I really believe that was the word of the Lord not only for the conference but for Boston. It released a tremendous amount of faith as we got the focus off ourselves and onto what God was doing. The 48 hour prayer room was consistently electric after that point. Literally, people would stay in the prayer room for 4-6 hours just praying and worshiping and dancing. There was a tremendous sense of God's presence as well as powerful times of repentance and intercession.

Thursday night, we hosted the first Fire Night. During worship, God gave a young woman an image of a person with noose around their neck. She felt God was saying that there was someone there who had tried to commit suicide but was afraid of death. She addressed the crowd asking if that person was present to come up and get prayer. There was no immediate response but later during the meeting and then at different points during the conference three different people received prayer who had tried to commit suicide in the past!

There were several other words that were completely accurate with people coming forward to receive prayer in response to them. These words included a young woman who had been struck by her parent when she was 14 years old and a person with a pain in their hand.

We were amazed at how God spoke so clearly and demonstrated to the 50-60 of us who were there including several non-Christians that Jesus is alive. The worship was absolutely incredible as Daniel & Camila Aguilar served us so well in ushering us into the presence of God.
