So apparently I live on photo shoot lane....whenever I walk outside there's someone having a photo shoot (brides, families, etc.) and apparently tons of bands have their album shots done down here at Marathon Village AKA clinton St. An interesting fact of Nashville, TN it was the 1st place in America that legalized prostitution BUT 90% of the evil that existed here NO LONGER exists. That is the power of prayer.....it's true, transformation in a community can occur when it's people take an active stand in prayer. The street I live on alone has transformed so much from 11 yrs. ago. Clinton St. was filled with prostitutes, drug dealers, homeless and broken homes. Through Meal of Hope, Provision International used to serve 800 people every week but because of the constant prayer, taking a stand and releasing God's presence there is now under 100 people attending. Praise God...How awesome and encouraging to know that our CONSISTENT actions and prayers can cause transformation in a community for the Glory of God. Where there is light darkness flees and transformation takes place!!
This past week we had an open mic night where everyone shared their personal songs. So amazing the talents and giftings everyone has. I can only imagine if the world was awakened to their destiny and gifitings.....just imagine what the world would be like.
This last week was busy but awesome...got to meet Chris McClarney..the guy who wrote 1/2 of Jesus Culture songs...what a humble man of God really challenging us to remain with the right heart condition and attune to God's timing when going through life's process. A common theme amongst our various teachers was for true transformation to occur, it must come from the inside out...so I continue to sit in the Foundry asking God reveal to me what more can be brought to the surface and burned away out of my life so that I can be a pure vessel for God's love and power to burn through me.
Welp...off to lead worship...Oh one fun fact....our 6:45 Am excersize this morning kickball....fun times in 50 degrees.
Please continue to join me in prayer for a new mac laptop. If you would like to make a financial contribution please email me for details - jennieMbryant@gmail.com
