Pressing-In

This has been an amazing last few days at the BURN Conference. Yesterday morning was, how shall I put it....simply intoxicating. I felt God's presence so heavily on my body, that I could not even stand. I pressed-in to the throne of His grace and fell out in His Spirit. I laid face down on the floor as close to the Altar as I could get. The angels were surrounding me and praising God in their Heavenly language. It was so beautiful and yet I realized that I was not worthy to be in the presence of the Almighty. As I lay there, I heard a voice from the right hand of God saying, "Draw close, for I am the Mediator." I knew this was Jesus speaking and reminding me that He paid for my sin with His blood. I asked Him to cover me and fill me with his saving grace and as I spoke those words I felt what was like a washing wave hit me and, like the ocean waves pull you under the surface, I was drowning in Christ's love. I then came to and found that I had been "out" for about forty-five minutes. I felt rested, secure and loved all at one time and closer to God then ever before.
