Every Facedown service starts with a desire to meet with God...to see His glory and then to provide an environment where His people can respond to that revelation. Just like how we came to a relationship with Him: He revealed Himself and we responded.
The very last part of Leviticus 9:23 is where I want to go today. "...and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people."
A few years back I had the privilege to play with some high school and college students at an event called Liberty on the Lake. We were one of four or five bands that played that evening for a few hundred people in the setting of the beautiful outdoors somewhere off Thurmond Lake (or Clark's Hill, depending on what side of the river you live on!). As the evening progressed a storm started to move into the area. The wind really picked up about half way through our set. As we got towards the end, we were playing a song called "God of Wonders" and lightening started striking in the distance.
So imagine with me this scene of heavy wind and powerful lightening across the lake from us while we're singing this song of the wonders of God. It was quite a moving experience! God gave us just a glimpse of His glory...mighty and awesome!
That's what we are seeking next Friday night. To catch a glimpse of the glory of God. I encourage you to ask God to prepare your heart to see Him.
Father- You are mighty and awesome. As Moses dared to ask so many years ago, we ask to see Your glory. Prepare our hearts to meet with You. Amen.

i had a similar experience of the revelation of God: i was at a third day concert in atlanta 5 years ago, and during their song 'you are everywhere' there's a part about God being like the wind that blows; everyone knows it's there, but no one knows where it comes from. at that exact moment, the wind started to blow. it was a very moving and intimate moment in experiencing the presence of God. i felt that same feeling again this past sun nite as the wind blew while we were worshipping.
