Hillsong United in Manila
There are many things I take for granted in life, but one of the biggest things I take for granted is the priviledge of praising my God. I knew I was going to this concert weeks before the actual date. But I did nothing to prepare my heart to worship my King. And it struck me how complacent I have become when it comes to praising Him. But praise God for the Hillsong United band, they really opened my eyes to how awesome it is to praise our God!
Da best tlga yung concert! I mean, solemn songs may bring such immense peace to the heart, but Christian rock songs bring such joyful intensity to the soul that you cant help but cry out to THE GOD of heaven and earth! And standing in the midst of a screaming crowd - all shouting, and jumping and screaming to Jesus... its just beyond description... No one cheered for Hillsong that night, all cheers went up to God! It was all about Him! I had goosebumps when the crowd started chanting, and just chanting the name of Jesus! Easy lang! It is truly the only name worthy of praise! If I can utter only one word, it would be that name! Jesus!
For all who were there, it is but a taste of what we will experience in heaven. Most of us have this boring notion of heaven, that we will all be angels carrying harps and we'll fly around the rest of our lives in heaven with our golden wings... but that is the FARTHEST from the truth! We are talking about the God who created the most exciting, wildest and most dangerous things ever known to man! He created the wildest wilderness, the deserts, jungles, crocs, sharks, He created rock music, hiphop rhythm and dance! He IS excitement incarnate! I could only imagine what an awesome and exciting place heaven would be!
