Almost Late For Class

Okay, so about two weeks ago after Bible study was finished at Emerge I walked around the lobby to read all the fliers and stuff. I read one that was about a prophetic school series. It said it would be about teaching and knowing God's voice. Well I figured that would be cool and I was interested in checking it out. Well I went to the Vineyard about an hour or so early and stayed in the car to get some quiet time in. Afterwards I went inside and continued to read my Bible. I saw Cherry and Rich standing around so I went over to talk to them. I asked what they were up to, assuming they finished practicing for Sunday worship, and they told me that thier Tuesday small group decided to check out this class. I had completely forgot that the prophetic school thing was this Tuesday. So she said I should go too. So I did. I'm totally glad I went to Emerge early today because the prophetic schoolong class started at 7 so if I came to Emerge on time I would have missed it completely. It was an interesting class and the guy leading it referred to scripture and made it really simple. His point being that prophecy is a gift from God, and not to be confused with new age crap and what not. That the Holy Spirit gives us this gift which can come in different ways. Be it dreams, visions, or just sort of "knowing" something about a situation or person. He referenced Ephisians 1:17-18 and 1 Kings 18:41-44. He talked about how even little things, though they may not seem prophetic, can inspire hope in somebody to rekindle thier spirit in some way which can serve God's purpose. Other than that he spoke of life experiences and stuff. Before class was let out everybody stood in prayer with our hands held out in front of us. It was pretty cool, while I was praying with my hands open in front of me...it felt like I was holding two basketballs, wierd I know. But it was like I was actually holding something. My arms moved with my breathing and it just felt like what I was holding seemed to give resistance. Wierd to explain I guess. It was just a strange experience. It is a once a month class, I'm going to go to the next class too. Lately I've been noticing a lot of things that God has been doing, and wondering about things that happen often and how I can use it to serve God's purpose. Anyway, it's super late and I'm sleepy.
