Resonate


Last night I had the opportunity to go to a place where students from all over the Greenville area come together and worship God. It’s called Resonate and its located right in the heart of Downtown. Katie is actually the one that introduced me to this lovely place but a few other people from Clemson go occasionally, too. I have been going for 3 weeks straight now and honestly can’t imagine ever missing a Wednesday night. It’s just that good. The speaker is Chris Armfield, and he’s spoken at FCA and just has a total gift from God for speaking to students. Worship is WOW! For those of you that know me, know I LOVE to sing, so worship is where I am must vulnerable and in contact with God. Also, the atmosphere of Resonate is just so laid back. When someone asks how to describe resonate its just something you cant put into words. Its all dimmed lighting, candle light, and just has a “chill” “come meet with the Lord” feel. I think that’s why I like it so much. Its just a place to come and open up with the Lord.

The past few weeks we have been in a series called “Un-Forsaken Life” and boy oh boy is it good. It’s seriously something everyone should stop and question “Am I living an un-forsaken life?” – Well last night the Un- Forsaken life question was “ What does a person in a un-forsaken life do when they are deceived?” well Christ read through Joshua 9 and 10, which is SO GOOD. (Did God really stop the moon and kept the Sun standing STILL for basically another whole day? YES! He did, because our GOD is THAT BIG! And THAT COOL!) – Tangent. Anyways, Chris pointed out that 1) An un-forsaken life CONSULTS before COMMITING to anything. à there is nothing you will do or nothing you’ve already done, you’re apart of the Kingdom of God! He is still able and WILL use you to bring HIM praise through whatever! You and I are a child of the King and Jesus Christ is our Savior & our BROTHER. How flipping awesome is that?

Pause: How do you respond when someone
Deceives you? Think about it.
2) An un-forsaken Life keeps covenants! – honors and keeps commitments.

My life is bigger than ME! Because of Gods perfect plan for me because he is bigger than anything we know.

3) An un-forsaken life knows the covenant is made with the CREATOR who can do absolutely anything
The enemy cannot and will not have control over you!
-Christ has already wont the battle!
Joshua 10:7-8 "So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him and all the valiant warriors. 8 The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands; not one of them shall stand before you.”

4) God fights for the un-forsaken. He goes before you.
