What a start!
Just like God promised, just like we prayed – God poured out His presence in the very first worship session by Delirious.
No performance stunts, nothing – just pure worship. The worship really ushered us into the very inner courts, into the Holy of Holies. The highlight however was Martin Smith singing Majesty in Hindi – Hey Prabhu and the crowd echoed, not once, not twice, but umpteen number of times.. Mumbai started singing Hey Prabhu, and then we were just lost and it was no more singing to Delirious, no more Delirious and us, it was just us and God!
And while we are still here, Paul Scanlon from Abundant Life Church started speaking about ‘How your dream can become a reality – you need a plan! You can have a dream your heart, but if its not in your head, it will never get into your hands (More here...) God’s presence is very much here – in abundance, overflowing.
Don’t miss out. You can still make it.

Mumbai Awaits...
In a city where no one really bothers to look around, one cannot help but notice the hoardings and banners announcing the Joyce Meyer’s Festival of Life 2008. Whether it is at traffic signals, or just huge vertical banners draped down apartment buildings, one thing is for sure.. Mumbaikars are wondering what this festival is all about.
MMRDA Grounds – A place which staged India’s biggest events ever like Bollywood’s Filmfare Awards, live concerts of Shakira, Pink Floyd, and just concluded Bindaas live which saw actors including Shahrukh Khan perform, will now see for the first time in Mumbai, Joyce Meyer’s conference and festival.
As you walk in, it’s a busy place. Chairs are being laid out, laborers yelling, sound engineers measuring distances to lay out cables, giant LED (liquid electronic displays) walls being installed … preparations are going on in full speed. Most of the local teams working for us are the same ones who’ve worked for most of the events mentioned above. For them, it’s just another big event.
Until now, these grounds were being prepared for the arrival of super stars from India and all over the world. But this week, it’s being prepared for the arrival of the King of Kings, the Creator of the Universe, the Beginning and the End, the only Living God– Jesus Christ!
Reminds you of how vast preparations were being so meticulously done by an army-like workforce for King Solomon’s temple, with every detail being taken care of..to get ready a place where the presence of God can fall and dwell forever.
That’s exactly what will take place from January 17-20th in MMRDA Grounds, Mumbai. Every little and big work being carried out is only for one purpose – to invite the Almighty God from heaven to earth, to dwell and move among every person that steps into these grounds.
And when the presence of God comes, there is healing for body and soul, freedom for those bound, freedom from generational curses, darkness will flee and we’ll find righteousness, joy, peace , love and abundant life.
When the presence of God enters a place, it erases all history, regardless of what the place was once used for, it will never remain the same again.
MMRDA grounds …getting ready..for that very presence…for Festival of Life!
