Sunday at NewSpring Perry started a new series called "Practical Atheist". He said a practical atheist is someone who claims to believe in God but lives as if He doesn't exist. There is no change in the person's life, more belief in the superstitious than the supernatural.
We also saw the video of Zac's story, a 32 year old staff member who is dying from cancer. As we ended the service, Perry asked for those who needed healing to come forward for prayer. I was privileged to be one of the ones praying with those who came forward.
I had several requests for physical healing, a marriage to be healed, a son to be delivered from drugs, emotional healing of bitterness, a newly engaged woman who wanted prayer for the relationship. There were around 30 people from all campuses who prayed to receive Christ! That is the ultimate healing.
I see and hear these hurts every week through the prayer ministry but I think it was good for the church to be able to see that there are lots of people who don't have it all together. People who are struggling with physical, spiritual, emotional and relational issues.
The question now is do we really anticipate that God is going to do something supernatural in the lives of these individuals?
