immeasurably more

Yesterday God added two people to his kingdom during Knee Drill, our prayer and worship meeting. And he did it all by himself. Not that we were pushing towards people getting saved, not even that we were inviting people, or even were expecting more than just Jamie and me the only ones praying together, or that we would have asked God to show his power in a particular way this evening.

No, I was praying for myself to get freedom to pray and worship when one girl knelt down next to me. And God kept bringing them. One after the other kneeling down, receiving prayer, and two of them eventually asking God into their lives.

All the time I was wondering where these people came from, and why God suddenly chose to bring them into his presence. All I know is that we can not plan for God to show up with his power. Or to save people. Or even us successfully inviting them. Probably, so that we can't take the credit for ourselves.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

Ephesians 3:20-21
