I am tremendously blessed to be at the right place (Singapore) at the right time (25/07/09) for theZone 09 youth conference.
The combination of Hillsong United, Pastor Judah Smith and New Creation Church are all headline worthy by their own rights but the message was clear throughout – Jesus was the headline.
Joel Houston shared about serving, being the hands and feet of God… tearing down the walls, reaching out to the needy. Pastor Judah shared about our righteousness in Christ, that by His blood we are righteous, leaving nothing to stop us from achieving our dreams… allowing us the effectively be the hands and feet of God.
Christ was indeed exalted and magnified throughout the conference leaving me to realize how often I underestimate God. Just because I put God in a box by limiting His presence in certain areas of my life or perceiving God based on my limited comprehension of Him does not make Him any smaller. God is still God, a loving Father who is out to bless me left, right, center… to supersede my heartfelt dreams and desires while still being able to use of my inadequacies to bless others.
It would be limiting to say that the conference impacted me in any particular areas of my life, because I know God is working in bigger, better ways than I could even imagine. I… We, the church will never be the same again!
