Wow. I am so excited about how God is going to use us these next 10 days in fasting, prayer, scripture, and journaling during the Pentecost Experience. This is a discipline that I know will change my life, even if it is only 30 minutes a day, plus fasting.
What happened to the church at Pentecost could really happen today?! Let us wait and see! God will work some supernatural miracles!

The Pentecost Experience Plan
An email was sent out today for the "Pentecost Experience" plan. This is what we're going to do:
- Spend 10 days from June 1-June 10 fasting, praying, reading scripture, and journaling
- Meet Sunday, June 1 at 9:30 am in the Pine room to launch our adventure
- Component Number 1: Fasting. Every day either skip a meal, a favorite food, etc
- Component Number 2: Praying. Spend 10 minutes a day in prayer and meditation
- Component Number 3: Reading Scripture. 10 minutes a day reading a portion of scripture
- Component Number 4: Journaling. Find a journal and journal 1o minutes a day. If time journal on the blog at http://pentecostexperience.blogspot.com/
- Bottom line: 30 minutes a day plus fasting in your "upper room"
- End the "Pentecost Experience" on June 10 with an optional time with the group of 12
- Debrief on June 15 at 9:30 am on our experience together
Waiting for Pentecost
What if we truly believed that God could unleash the power of His Spirit in our lives? What if we tried an ancient practice just like in the bible in our lives today? What just might happen?
Before Pentecost, the disciples and others (120 of them in an upper room) spent 10 days praying, fasting, and waiting for God to unleash his power. (Acts 1-2)
What if we did the same? What if we spent 10 days fasting, praying, reading the bible, and journaling into God's presence? We're going to try an experiment with some parishioners at our church. We're going to do a "Pentecost Experience" for 10 days and see what miracles God will reveal in our lives. Maybe not tongues of fire, but... what might God's power reveal? I can't wait...tune in for more as God puts this team together.
