How God uses you!

You know, i finally experienced what it is to have the power of God flow through you and use you to miniser and impact the ppl of God.
Here's what happened.

Yesterday, i was supposed to lead glorify.
I had a very strong feeling of the song With Everything and God led me to prepare some stuff to say to minister to the worship min while singing the song.
I felt SUPER inadequate, okay.
I had like bad glorify experience, and like infront of super experienced musicians and super annointed leaders.. MAN! I felt so inadequate.
I felt the Lord prompt me to play the guitar on my own instead of getting someone to help me. And that makes it even worse.
I wanted to run away so bad.
I prayed so hard that there wouldnt be jam today.
I nearly cried in anxiety.
SO SCARY!!!!

But the Lord reminded me of something i read that said "When you feel the most inadequate, thats when the Lord is about to flow his power through you."
And true enough, that happened.

Before i led, i was relaly nervous.
But as i learnt from my dad, i started declaring agaisnt the insecurity and all.
Declaring that i was the chosen one to lead glorify at that point of time.
And all fear was gone.
There was a peace of a different kind resting upon me.
And i stepped up and allowed the Lord to lead me as i led.

I started playing and praying and then i started singing.
I didnt think too much on what chords i was playing, but it came out right.
I didnt focus on my strumming, but it came out super well.
My singing was better than i have ever sung.
I reached notes that i usually had to push a little harder to reach, easier than ever.
I heard my voice booming in such an annointed and angelic way i have never heard before.
I was drowned in worhsip, and i felt the prsence of God moving.

I realised, the song was indeed the song of the season.
The song was indeed the one chosen by God.
The words i had spoken were indeed that of God's.
And indeed, God had held my hand and walked me through the glorify.
I was nothing, but his vessel.
Holding in my hands a guitar.
Playing the only simple chords i knew.
I sang with all my heart.
And in its simplicity, God used it to impact the worship.
The Lord used me.

I was really amazed and in awe of what had happend after it all ended. How well i flowed with the spirit of God. How amazing his presence had been.

Its amazing.

How true it is that only when you feel the most inadequate and insecure, is when the Lord is about to let his power flow through you. Just like an empty vessel, ready to be used. (:
