well, i sort of 'learned' to pray by going to prayer meetings, but i guess lots of people just learn it by the spirit...
inthe end though i think it's just a matter of just going for it, being spiritually alert as you pray. but more so spiritually alert before you pray, because once you get going you're fine i've found. |

Friday 1st July
Youth Alive Ipswich
I'll cut to the point best i can here. I went into tonight expecting an 'ok' time, nothing too groundbreaking but fun. Tonight was one of the best nights i have ever had. I know that a few others were really looking forward to tonight and i pray that they all had their expectations succeeded like me.
There wasn't too many youth that went there but still a few more than i expected. It was good to see Wilkins and Robbie there, i didn't think that you would be able to make it. There were a few that i wished were there, BenK, Walters, Chris and Eliza i really wish that you could of made it but there is a planetshakers coming up soon!
They took ages to start the thing and the first few songs were a bit 'meh' even though it was good to have Neilson as a God buddy for the night. When they started plaing some Planetshakers the roof blew off, especially for Pick It Up. No Take It All but you can't win them all After the fast songs they started the slower stuff... this is when the fun begins...
Just last night i posted this to Penny - | Quote: | | I remember soon after 'that september day' we had youth and me and Josh got into the songs. During the Stand i saw you go on your knees and it just made me burst into tears instantly. Whenever i hear that song or i feel down... i remember that moment and it makes me smile on the inside. |
Just today at school i hugged her and thanked her for everything that shes done for me and so many other people. Open your eyes girl!!!
Tonight they started playing The Stand and I got the goosebumps. I turned around to Penny straight away and i could already feel the tears coming, I was just about to jump the seat and hug Penny again but then Norman grabbed me and said 'we need to pray for Jacqui again.'
If anyone doesnt know the Jacqui story, at Planetshakers this year Norman and I prayed for Jacqui, a girl i have enver met and one of his closest friends in the middle of one of the big songs. It was one of my favourite moments of Planetshakers and me and her became amazing friends since. Planetshakers happened again. I had her by the hand and Norman had his arm around her and we were praying for her and she was just crying her eyes out. After the songs i sat with her and kept her sane for the rest of the night and she went to the front for the thingie whatever its called. She seemed teary for the rest of the night but held together.
After all of that jazz they called us all to the front and they played The Stand again... I just jumped on Penny and hugged her crying. Singing that song at the end was just amazing. The whole night was amazing.
Some people i want to thank
Penny - Look, if it wasn't for the fact that The Stand was playing and its realtionship to the two of us... I honestly don't think i would of Mann'd Up enough to pray for Jacqui again. Penny you give me courage to do things in life for both myself and others. Last night you called me a gentleman and i have no one else to thank other than you. Its people like YOU that makes me never give up on life and face the things i wouldn't normally face. Thank you for tonight, a memory i will never forget. Penny - Thank you.
Jacqui - You probably wont see this but I love you. Never give up girl. You mean too much to the world to ever give up. Jacqui - Thank you.
Norman - No matter how often we argue, you are still one of those people that keep the flame burning. I would be out if it wasn't for you. Norman - Thank you.
Larissa - Ok, i definently know that you will never see this but i still want to thank you. I have met you maybe 3 times in my life but you've impacted me in such a big way. About 5 years ago you were just a cute blonde that i was chatting up in a youth alive bus, you were a girl that had a dream of being a singer one day. Fast forward to 'That September' and there you are again. The little cute blonde girl has grown up and now you're a youth leader person thing and the LEAD SINGER OF THE BAND. The way that you chased that dream after all of those years and the passion that you showed for religionas a whole and your youth pastor just made me really open my eyes that weekend. And now fastforward to tonight and there you are on stage. You were just a girl i met in a bus once thinking i would never hear from you again but look at you now. It makes me smile that you remember me, i saw the looks you gave me tonight  For 5 long years you chased a dream and acheived it. I am fucking proud of you girl. I wish i could say all of this to your face and dont think for a second that i wouldnt, but that must wait another day Larissa - Thank you.
Everyone that was there tonight - Thank you. Especially Neilson you sexy son of a gun, thank you.
Tonight has been amazing and even though this is a proud day of the TL/DR in Thoih, i hope that i entertained at least one person
Keep it real guys. <3

Robbie you murder city machine gun... I don't know whats going on in your world at the moment but it made me damn happy to see you there tonight. I don't know why you didn't have your pants on by the end of the night but i think i like it. If it wasn't for the fact taht Neilson paid for your ticket i was going to put some money towards it I like you kid, you've got spunk.
Robbie, thank you for coming tonight, you added extra fun
I like you going to youth, you're just fun!
Robbie is the best <4

Haha.. why did he take his pants of though?
Great post Shane. Last night was amazing. I have a huge headache this morning, haha, but for some reason I'm practically floating on air. Things are just getting more amazing.. I wish you all could have gone. The Stand even made me cry last night. I peeked once through the song, and all I could see were hundreds of people lifting their hands to the God who loves them. There's just no way to describe it.
Youth tonight will also be fantastic. Don't miss it.
Ps. Ok, my headaches gone. That's......I don't know.
Pss. Shane - Thank you. |

Youth tonight was one of the absolute best youths I have ever been to. No, cut that, it was THE ABSOLUTE best saturday night youth I have ever been to. Ever ever ever.
Games were pretty ordinary. But that's not when Youth was great.
Song time popped around. Something about it was different.. I'm not sure what it was. Maybe it was because pretty much every single youth were worshipping God. The Stand played, I started to cry. It's like.. I am so thankful, and there's no way to describe it ay.. And then. Oh boy oh boy. Beautiful Saviour played. At the end, I was on my knees, and Vicki said she thought it would be good for everyone to sit down or get on their knees.
Then they walked around. And had a word for EVERYONE. By the time they were about to get to me, I was bawling my eyes out, and Eliza, Elle, Stevie and Courtney surrounded me. Elle held my hand and Eliza (I think) put her hand on my foot as Steve and Vicki started to pray.
People are going to get saved by my music. Boldness of a lion, but the gentleness of a dove. That's all I pretty much remember, and that Vicki called me Courtney by accident.
By the end of this there was NO WAY to stop the river that was pouring out of my face. I'm not sure when it happened. BUT ELIZA GOT THE GIFT OF TONGUES WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Which.. then of course, made me want it that much more.
You all may not remember, but ever since 'That September' I've been praying my heart out for the gift of tongues. Seems that people just get that more of a special connection with God, you know? Oh, and Satan sees it pretty much as an AK74 lol. But I want it. And I want it so much. It'll happen, I know. But.. argh, I don't know. I said to Elliot the other Thursday.. "It's like a part of me KNOWS that its real, but then theres a part of me.. that says it can't be real, you're an idiot for thinking so." But I'm not going to stop praying.
Tonight, as I stood up on stage at one point, I saw so many people crying, praising, little groups of people being prayed over, peopel getting slain. And guess what. There was that little voice again. "It can't be real. It's not real." And. It makes me SO mad. Seriously, I wanted to punch myself in the head just for thinking that. I was mad at myself, mad at Satan. And pleading to God.
I believe in something I can not see. But tonight was so amazing, I could see God working in that room. In that church. It's not the biggest building, 500 people weren't packed inside, just 15 or so hearts set for God. Every hug I got (which was a lot, by the way) I felt a little spark. Like, the good part of me was saying, "there's your proof, pal."
Gonna be lots of crying from me tonight.
And Thoih's apparantly going to get LOTS of big posts.
Eliza: Congrats.
And Satan can go jump in front of a bus if he thinks he's going to be able to convince me this isn't real.
EDIT: Just looked up tongues on good ol' google.
| Quote: | | I don’t believe we can determine this point with certainty. I do know this: the gift of tongues is the most common of the charisms among Pentecostals. The vast majority of those who seek tongues receive tongues. It is the rather rare exception who does not. |
I hope I'm not the rare exception . |

Don't worry Penny, the internet is not always a reliable source. Honestly.
Thanks so much.
I won't say much on this because I'm going to plan my own little post (or big rather) but yes, I love you, and I love God.
It was amazing.
Simply amazing.

Youth = Amazing.
Scratch that...
Youth > Amazing.
Omgosh, it was incredible... Just that few minutes or so I spent with Emily, us singing together, it made me realise that this is happening, we're gonna be singing.
You guys saw the band last night, we are gonna have a band like that, we're gonna have altar calls, we're gonna save people with God's music.
What are we waiting for? Let's get stuck into it!

I've been going to youth for what must be about 5/6 years and tonight has been the best not camp youth i have ever been to.
What everyone has said is true, tonight was real. I stood on the stage with Stephen and i told him 'look at what we've done, look at what we've become, look at this. This is us, this is youth.' I am so proud of who everyone has grown to be and i am so proud of where we are going! I havn't been to that many other youth groups, but i can tell you now, what we have is special. What we have is real.
The last two nights have been amazing for me. I want to thank you all again, we couldn't be here if it wasn't for all of you that are in the youth group, everyone that has been in the youth group and everyone inbetween.
Ryan, come back. You deserve to be in the youth group!
Rambling? Yes. Happy? YES~
Lets do this thing people!

Ryan, I know you've only met me once at Shakers, and I kinda freaked you out a fair bit.
But I have a spare room. It contains a computer, tv, wii, nes, xbox, 64, electric guitar, ping pong table, piano, various sleeping bags and a cool bunk bed.
If you wanna move back, I'll take you in!
DO IT!!!

Ok, kinda an all day story for me, but most of it will be about youth.
BackStory
So since I woke up, today was different, up before my parents. The night before I checked my emails and I got accepted into a pre-beta for a game coming out in a while (www.unleashthefury.com if there's any gamers ), so I had that downloading all night, installed and jumped in as soon as I got up. NDA so that's enough about that . 8:30/9:00 rolls around, dad walks into the room, sees game, leaves me alone, goes down the road with a friend to buy wood for a new bench for the stove (eating shop-bought lasagne reheated in the microwave... yuk). He gets back later, I go down and help like the good little nerd I am. Anyway, lets skip a whole lot of changing between Fury, msn and music. Had lunch at 2, or was it 3? to tie me over until after youth. More fury, msn and music (this time shakers), went into the shower at 5.
Important Backstory
Continuing from above paragraph, just keeping it organised. So now I'm in the bathroom, pda playing something or other music, probably Jeremy Camp. Anyone not familiar with my showering routine, which I hope you're not, I have music going the whole time (usually 20-30 mins, maybe more, and I'll explain why). I don't know what it is, but nearly every shower (that's every day people!) I get really negative, about my friends, about God, etc. And so that gets me praying (lose track of time quickly that way). Today it was about youth tonight, for something big, granted, the prayer was for me, but it was still for bigness. Decided in the past few days I was going to get prayed over tonight, didn't matter by who. So yeah, get out of shower rather annoyed and negative. It would be around 5:30 by now. Grab CDs for Robbie, forgot cases so I put CDs down and go looking for cases, but dad wants a picture of me for my grandmother. So I stop looking for cases, then realise it's time to leave, leaving the CDs here. Oh well, you'll have them Monday Robbie!
Youth
So I go pick up Eliza, show up and sing happy birthday to Elle (Happy birthday you!), etc etc, it's All rather boring .
Games - Meh, can't really get into the games lately, dodgeball was good to see again, not long enough though. That game Stevie thought up? Sorry Shusy, it isn't you, but like I said, games are boring me. I ended up just lying down and praying some more, Emily comes over and kisses my hand. Twice. After that I moved myself out of the group and put on some praisey music. Creating a mood for myself, that went on for a good 20 minutes, looking up at the game every now and then to see what the heck was happening.
In between games and music - Elliot brings out his earphones and we play the 'happy tears song', that really set a mood. Lights go off and The Time Has Come starts playing.
Music - So the music started, yep. 'Cept I didn't really care. Half way through the song I grab Wilkins and ask him to pray for me. Starting this soon so I can worship after the praise music's over, I miss that when I ask to be prayed for . Yes, grabbed Wilkins, told him I wanted more. Now, this is something I need to explain, only one person figured out what I meant. More means more Jesus, more feelings, more hugs, tongues, prophecies, healings, you name it, I wanted more (as explained in Important Backstory). Grab Norman by the back of his shirt, choking him (shut up Norman ). I tell him I want more and he actually got it.
Prayer starts. Shivers go. Norman pushes me that much I almost fall over. That lasted until... Take It All I think. Morph myself back into the music, Wilkins gets me to pray for Eliza. So that starts, Norman joins in. We're interrupted at the end of The Stand by Vicki telling us about praying for others and to leave them alone or something. I look over and see Semi, Elliot, Penny (?) and... oh I don't know, wasn't paying attention, I'm assuming Semi being prayed for. Figure it's a good idea to leave Eliza alone a bit now, so I head off into my normal spot for Beautiful Saviour. Lyrics didn't really matter, still hyped up about the praying. Lied down for the end of the song, still praying, kinda singing. Then it starts again, quieter, hear Vicki in the background praying for Shane.
The Praying - So I'm sitting there, can't really remember what I was doing. At all. The entire Shane to Elle being prayed for is a blur. Shane and Josh come over, ask if I want to be prayed for, I say not right now, we sing a bit, Josh goes off to Semi? Shane's here and I ask him for more. By the end of that we're both crying and hugging. This is the first time EVER that I've cried because of this. I got teary at camp but I could still see fine at the end of it. And yet I have no idea why I was crying. Shane and I go outside for a bit and talk for a few minutes. I see Penny and Elle on the stage, give them thumbs up. Next I see Eliza RUNNING at me and I hear that she was praying in tongues . More hugs with everyone. Vicki and Steve still going around the room praying for people. I head over when it's Wilkins. Then I'm next.
The Message - So I don't actually remember much of it. Eliza, Wilkins, perhaps Norman as well, are there with the Todds. Vicki's saying something about being brought up in a closed enviroment, then it gets to the part that I remember.
Backstory: At the last Thursday night we had, and a couple of times before that, I hear about Penny wanting her tongue. So that gets me thinking about what I want from God. Not tongues, but being able to prophecy over people or have a kind of healing touch on people. See people being affected by my gift. And I haven't told ANYONE that.
And tonight Vicki answered that. She said that I'm going to be prophesying over people and slaying them left and right (My wording ) because of it. By the end of it my legs are quivering, not quite ready to give way.
The Aftermath - So Norman's the last person to be prayed for, everyone in the general area, parents here to pick people up. I don't end up leaving until 9:30/10:00 time. Vicki likes talking to everyone, and everyone included me, Eliza AND my mum who was getting impatient waiting in the car.
Thank You's and Ending
I didn't say anything on Sunday, but I'm thankful the most for my friends, especially Penny, Shane and Elliot. You guys are the reason I've stuck with it this long. I've seen what you've had and I've wanted it.
Perhaps I'll write out a better thank you list tomorrow, I'm tired, I have church in the morning.
Thank you all and good night. |
