>>Ladies.and.Gentlemen

>>Hallo.  It has been a while and a great break.  I have much to blog about.  For a while I became really serious with blogging and stats, and instead of quantity I wanted to post quality (which is debatable to some).  So if you have been checking frequently thank you so much, but let’s continue.  Inferno was amazing and blew my mind… It truly is the premiere event for Apostolic youth (great job Robby).

Anyways,

Great people have great introductions.  The best speakers, singers, writers, etc, if they have any merit at all, when they enter the stage or platform they have someone giving them the best accolades and admonitions that tell of how great they are.  In this scripture it does just that and it couldn’t have been said better.  Ladies and Gentlemen here is our God.

>>Well, we made our long, long trip from Madisonville, KY to Pontiac, MI alive.  Currently everyone is taking naps or getting ready for tonight but we are all excited about this annual trip.  Inferno is a youth conference that is the premier event for Apostolic youth and we always love come and spending time with The Apostolic Church here in Auburn Hills.  Get ready for the posts that will follow complete with pictures and quotes.  Get ready because Inferno 2008 is here and >>revolution has landed.

>>(silence)….that’s all I can say.  Inferno this year was absolutely amazing.  I prayed that not only God would change our youth group but that He would change me and He did.  Inferno was filled with a lot of innovative things such as: ligthing effects, music, drums that ascended into the air and hung at about an ninety degree angle!!!  So it was exciting, but the Spirit was so powerful there it amazed me.  (this might be a longer post so hold on)

The first night was filled with amazing ligthing (as said before) and many things that just rocked, but as soon as it was time to preach, Bro Wayne Francis did a tremendous job preaching about “Never Forget.”  He spoke how we need tko remember who we are, stop looking at the negative in our past and look at the good.  Those late prayer times, those times we read teh Bible when we didn’t “feel” like it, etc.  That message changed me.

 Then we had a session called AfterBurn which was located at a local college that was rented out by Impact student ministry and it was filled with a plethora of bands for every genre that were making a difference for Christ.

Then Saturday morning was just phenomoenal time of worship.  We sang the brand new Hillsong from Valley By the Sea ”To Know Your Name” and “Jesus Paid it All.”  It was just amazing how people were so involved in the worship.  You think sometimes about worship can be initiated in large church settings such as theirs, but it was just amazing.  The preaching that afternoon was just as good.  It was about “knowing the giver.”  Sometimes Christians want the gift and lose sight of the “giver” who is God.

Want to give special thanks to My Pastor for allowing us to go, Youth pastor for bareing through the trip, Bro Francis and Bro Palmer for preaching those amazing messages, and Bro Emery for being such a visionary.
