Anything Can Be Worship

I just sent this to some potential 6:22 dancers via a private Facebook message, but I thought it was worth considering for everyone, regardless of your gifts or talents.

Anything we do can either be worship (and therefore God-glorifying) and it can also be sinful (self-glorifying). if something we do is worship, then it is in no way "distracting" for people to see/hear/experience it. In fact, if it is really giving God glory, then it doesn't distract them from God but actually draws them closer to Him.

As much as I'd like to stand behind a curtain when I lead worship, I know that when I am truly worshiping with my guitar and voice that God is glorified and others are drawn to Him through that. It would actually be more selfish for me NOT to let that worship be seen/heard. Make sense?

So yeah it's a heart issue... why are we doing it, etc. But I don't think the proper response is to dance in the back or to not dance at all from fear of being prideful. I think it's more prideful not to do it. :)

This is why David dance freely in the streets (the whole II Samuel 6:22 thing).... He wasnt being distracting or selfish... he was praising God freely and it was pleasing to God and glorified Him for others to see.

Why We Are Cancelling Two 6:22 Meetings In One Month

And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him
- Luke 18:7 -

God is sending leaders to eastern NC from the house of prayer movement. It is without a doubt God's will to have our city and region saturated in day and night worship and prayer. As 6:22, we want to be a part of what the Holy Spirit is orchestrating at this time. This is something that we have accepted as part of our vision and mandate - to move towards day and night worship and prayer in Greenville. We are canceling two upcoming 6:22 meetings (this Friday and November 6) to support those who are coming to our area. Our upcoming Friday night schedule looks something like this...

This Friday, October 16 - 6:22 is not at the Boiler Room. We are encouraging people to attend the worship night with Bob Perry from the Nashville House of Prayer.

Next Friday, October 23 - 6:22 @ The Boiler Room

Friday, October 30 - theBurn @ The Boiler Room - nine hours of what we believe will eventually be happening 24/7

Friday, November 7 - 6:22 is cancelled for the Onething conference in Raleigh hosted by IHOP-KC

Luke 18 Fuel School
Also in very exciting news... The Luke 18 Project, IHOP's follow-up ministry to Onething is coming to the Boiler Room on Monday, November 9 for a Fuel School from 6-9pm. Jacob Ferrell will be doing some practical training on sustaining a prayer furnace in Greenville, especially on ECU's campus. The 6:22 band will be doing some worship, but most of the night will be teaching, training, workshops and Q&A. Here is how they describe a Fuel School on their web site:

It is our desire to see corporate, consistent, and unified prayer furnaces contending for a historic breakthrough of God's presence, affecting every sphere of society with the glory and majesty of Jesus. Our vision for Luke18 Fuel Schools is to equip you with the necessary tools to plant and lead a prayer furnace. Each Fuel School will focus on the details of how to start, how to grow, and how to sustain a prayer furnace for years to come. Anyone interested in planting, leading, or participating in a prayer furnace is encouraged to attend.

We believe we have a lot to learn from those who have gone before us. We want to receive all that we can from NHOP and IHOP-KC. 6:22 is even giving financially to these ministries (we give 10% of of our general fund to other ministries - donate now). We believe that you reap what you sow, and that if we give that we will be blessed in the same way they are. Please take advantage of these upcoming events in our region. Do not miss what God is doing!
