Ok, we heard back from the church secretary and the best day for
"Pressing In" is going to be NEXT TUESDAY the 24th.
See below for more into, but here are some additional details:
We will be setting this time aside to focus our attention fully on God
rather than ourselves. Setting something aside entirely for God is
called "consecrating" it. When we do this God says He promises to
"sactifiy" it - which means "set apart for holiness". We devote time
to focus on God, He makes it holy. To do so for this specific time I
feel we need to remove any distractions to our thoughts and minds.
Therefore we will agree to turn off our phones, forget the distraction
of food, forget about work and all our other commitments, and just
come before the throne of the Most High God, to worship, pray and soak
in His presence.
We will meet in the Youth Room at regular Youth Group time on Tuesday
(7pm), then after YG we will just stay - worshiping, praying, fasting,
listening to the Spirit and seeing where He leads us. We will continue
for 22 more hours - leaving at 7pm on Weds. Those who need to sleep
can sleep while others keep the fire burning on the alter.
Note, this is not your standard "all-nighter" where you run around
wild, downing Rockstars and grubin on Kit-Kats. This is a holy time,
to come and lay down everything, enter into His presence with awe,
with thanks and with an open heart. Not to be rude, but if you just
want to come and run around and make yourself the focus, please do not
come at all.
With blessings and with honor to be serving the King of kings with
you,
Paul and Steph
