Tears from the saints ( Global day of prayer )

Yesterday all of mankind got to be part of something amazing. It was the day of global prayer and about 300 million people, 200 or more nations gathered together and cried and prayed before their creator. I was blessed to be witness to this , to the day the Lord gathered his flock and as a mirror of the kingdom to come , prayed as one body , worshiped as one people, praised with one voice to the God almighty. Yesterday was a big day for mankind. We as the people of God were given a glimpse into Gods glory, his kingdom and the hope of eternity with him.
One of the highlights of the night was particularly beautiful. Following hours of prayer and worship one of the pastors stood and started to pray and talk about the cleansing of our sins, how we ought to pray for God to wash over this land , our sins , the sins of our forefathers....we prayed for the broken , the lost, the hungry .... and all of the sudden this one big cloud, just above the hundreds of people in the stadium started to sprinkle rain. The prayer kept going and everyone as one looked up to the rain , this rain from heaven that poured over us. I could not believe it... the beauty of it all... i stood paralyzed to this beautiful act from heaven. One of the pastors said that it felt as if it was tears from heaven , that God along with the saints were weeping over the land... that those tears were washing over us. Yesterday all of us got to be part of something amazing , some of us embarked in a new journey with our savior , some re-newed their covenant with their father, others were simply citizens in Gods kingdom for a couple of hours. The Lord our God is well and alive and He lives in us , we are the church and we are the body, and we are called to live our lives radically for a kingdom that draws near, God is gathering his sheep and we may be the generation that comes to see the final closing act.  Yesterday was a day of change, of cleansing... and today is just the beginning of greater things to come !
