We will begin the solidarity prayer at 4am, we are all starting to gather. There is a real feeling that the Spirit is here and we're going through devotions and worship at the moment.
We truly believe this will be transformative and people around the world will be touched.
I am due to pray at 7am, and I am unsure what will happen. I am open to whatever the Spirit deems necessary for me. It could be meditation, tongues, revelation and the prophetic. Whatever gifts the Spirit bestows on me will be sufficient.

 Nine amazing truths you already suspectedBy Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist | 8:24PM - Tuesday, May 07, 2013A FRESH BATCH of white-hot obviousness to soothe the savage satirist in you. Starting with…
The NRA is the new Christian right
Remember that shrill, fundamentalist, God-fearing, adorably insane Christian coalition that somehow elected Bush to two miserable terms, then self-imolated in a cavalcade of confusion and homophobia? Behold, it hath re-emerged! It is now tinier, angrier, far more paranoid, licks AR-15 semi-automatics like popsicles and gathers itself into sweltering Texas convention centers packed like canned lard with panicky, overweight white guys who cheer Glenn Beck’s sweaty tears and give standing ovations to Sarah Palin. Welcome back, right-wing fearclumps! My how you’ve shrunk. And God, you look awful.
The NRA is also a twitchy clown car of paranoia and failure
This much we know: Any event where Sarah Palin still gets a standing ovation, where not a single respected celebrity, politician, spiritual leader or intellectual pundit would ever dare show his face, where they want to arm children and compare Michael Bloomberg to a Nazi, these are surefire signs you’re among the most lost and desperate in America.
Yes, the NRA still has a ridiculously powerful lobby in Washington D.C. So does the high fructose corn syrup lobby. Did you see the photos from the big convention in Houston? Glenn Beck holding up a rifle? Wayne LaPierre’s mouth contorting in manic anguish? This is the army of the insane and the paranoid, the least compassionate the country has to offer. Sorry, Newtown kids; they hate you most of all.
Google Glass: Guaranteed to get you not laid Goggle Glass! You know, pretty much.One tech pundit has compared Google’s widely mocked, ultra-geeky experimental eyewear to Apple’s awesome but ill-fated Newton, saying both were ahead of their time, and hence both were ruthlessly derided for being so out of step.
Well, sort of. The Newton was slammed for just not working very well. Google Glass, however, is the millennial version of a calculator watch, the world’s nerdiest fashion accessory from the world’s nerdiest company that only the nerdiest hoody-wearers in the world would (or maybe should) be caught dead browsing with their eyebrows.
Do you like sex? Do you ever want to have it again? I thought so. Wear Google Glass and watch the opposite sex shun you like love shuns the NRA.
George W. Bush is a sad, awkward loser
Bill Clinton is a rock star. His Clinton Global Initiative and Clinton Foundation are respected worldwide for their astonishing effectiveness, influence and good work. Jimmy Carter, at 88 and walking on artificial knees, is still building houses for the poor and helping with difficult conflicts all over the world. He’s also written 27 books. It’s a sure bet that Obama, when he leaves office, will become equally, if not even more globally respected and effective than either, given O’s relative youth and interest range. And we get his passionate largesse for the next 30 years. Democrats and liberals, it would appear, are naturally wired to help.
George W. Bush hides. He paints pictures of bathtubs and dogs. He makes few appearances, gives few speeches, delivers no commencement addresses. He does not build houses for the poor, rarely helps out in times of tragedy or disaster, or volunteer his time teaching a class in a university. He has no major charities or foundations in his name (except the one used to build his meek presidential library). There is no lecture circuit, only one tiny book, no commemoration of any kind save for the nasty, bitter aftertaste he left in the mouth of history.
George W. Bush is, in short, a shameful footnote, sad and strange and sort of awful. The Republican party — for whom, if they’re honest, George W. Bush remains their truest and most accurate representative — should be proud.
The US military would like to sexually abuse you now
Some say it’s the most underreported horror story in America, a widespread, ongoing national disgrace no one wants to touch. With more than 26,000 cases of sexual abuse, including rape and assault, reported last year alone (a whopping 37 percent jump), with untold thousands more going unreported due to fear and coercion in the corridors of macho military power, it’s certainly turning out to be more than a mere embarrassment. It’s repellant.
And now, the highlight, the top story, the tipping-point headline to ignite all disgust and put the story over the top: It’s the arrest of Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Krusinski, head of the Air Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office, who’s been charged with… can’t you guess? Sexual battery.
Dear US military: The Catholic Church called, wants it sick irony back.
All terrorists are bungling imbeciles
Show me a photo of the Tsarnaev brothers, and I’ll show you a couple of pallid, socially inept douchebags who sit around huffing glue, watch z-grade porn, and drowning stray kittens for fun.
No one, least of all the 24-hour news channels, the D.C. punditry, or congressional politicians wants to debunk the shiny, zillion-dollar Hollywood myth that terrorists are slick, hyperintelligent monsters who speak five languages, live in elaborate underground lairs and look like Javier Bardem. That ridiculous myth makes billions, funds the CIA and keeps the hoi polloi roiling in fear.
The truth is far more banal: Terrorists worldwide are, generally speaking, morons. Dumb as bricks and half as clever. This is why stopping them is so difficult — not because their plots are so ingenious and intricate, but because it’s like trying to figure out when the next violent, meth-addled chronic masturbator is going to ram his Monte Carlo into a crowded shopping mall.
This sentence is totally gay and therefore I am writing a book about it
Carolyn Moos is the ex-fiancé of Jason Collins. Jason Collins is — perhaps you’ve heard? — the first NBA player to come out as gay. Carolyn Moos heard the news and was all, like, “OMG WTF”? Moos dated Jason Collins for eight solid years. Apparently, she had no idea.
And now, Carolyn Moos is going to write a book. Because this is what one does. The book is going to be titled, “OMG WTF?” and those two abbreviations will appear on every page, over and over again, about 52,000 times in an endless, unbroken stream because what the hell else could she possibly write?
Good Samaritans will almost always surprise you
Behold, Charles Ramsay, friendly and bitingly funny neighbor to sociopathic monster Ariel Castro, who, maybe along with his two brothers, apparently kept three young women captive in his Cleveland house for more than 10 years. Ramsay heard the cries of one, Amanda Berry, and helped her escape, followed shortly by the others. Ramsay’s interview has got viral, rivaling Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker (see video clip below) for unexpected wit and personality. Of course, the Interweb was quick to point out Ramsay is no saint himself. But hey, maybe he just found himself a bit of redemption.Your pull quote du jour: “I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms. Dead giveaway!”
Awesometastic. That all three women are still alive and relatively healthy? Even better.
Nation continues downward spiral into all-consuming hell
One word: Delaware. You go.• • Mark Morford on Twitter and Facebook.blog.sfgate.com/morford/2013/05/07/nine-amazing-truths |

It was a wonderful experience, being intensely connected with Jesus through the Spirit.

At the end we all sat around for a debrief, to talk about our experience. It was so wonderful what people said, everyone was touched and moved.
We then spontaneously went into a worship session when my mate got his guitar out.

You always have sex on the brain! The word touched is different on this context. It is like a mother today getting a phone call from their child for mothers day and the mother telling her friends at coffee tomorrow: "the phone call was very touching". |

I am filthy? How?
PS. If I get "filthy", I wash with soap. Don't need any of that brainwashing you need.

PS(2): Do you know what the ulnar nerve is?
Seems not.

can you raise the dead? - No
can you cure diseases like cancer? No
can you walk on water? - No
can you say a prayer and throw a mountain in the sea? - No
your religious beliefs are lies and delusions - lies told by people who just want your money and children to have sex with.
