16 Day Prayer Journey To Passion 2010 – Day 7
Day 7. Movement.
Jesus is a movement. He is not about monuments, systems or external structures. He is a river of life, “And everywhere the river flows, everything lives.” Movements are fluid. Movements move. Movements are not on a schedule and are not always predictable.
Passion began with a desire to spark a movement among the university-aged young people of the world. Yet this does not happen by huge conferences alone. Our brand must be more than catchy phrases and packed-out events. Passion will only be a movement when one altered life shines His light in the darkness for all to see…one light soon joined by another, and another, and another.
We are working hard today on the details of Passion 2010, and are so honored so many are headed our way. Yet, the external stuff of this gathering is not what we need. Some will be fooled because we fill an arena and sing the songs. But, unless we bring our hearts to Him–open, honest and bare, no Spirit-birthed movement can flow.
I don’t know about you, but I am coming needy to Passion 2010. I want Jesus to break, heal and reshape every part of my heart…of our hearts. We, as Passion, can’t make that happen, yet I am convinced it’s what we need more than anything. And why together we pray…
Father, we desperately need You. Help us. Come to us. Breathe on us. We desire to move beyond the outward layers that impress, but do not change the heart. Today, I am raising my hope to You. I believe in Your power to heal, awaken and restore. Wind of the Spirit, come. Blow on me again. Blow me onward. Wildly forward. Powerfully alive. Godward forever. For Jesus sake, Amen.
“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” John 3:8

Let us be open, honest, vulnerable, and humble before You in the days to come Lord. May we spread our wings to be lifted on the winds of Your Spirit’s moving God, may we soar and go to the places You are sending us from here. God break our hearts, put them back together more complete and more beautiful than before, and let us be forever ruined for the ordinary, the mundane, the material, and the temporary things of this life. Let’s go Jesus…

‘Shine your light and let the whole world see, we’re living for the glory of the risen King… Jesus’ :)
P.S. Justin, great idea with the Passion 2010 desktop wallpaper :)
