The Divine Experiment

Launch Night from Peoria's Divine Experiment - 2010

Launch Night

Almost 900 people gathered Sunday night for the launch of the Divine Experiment in Peoria which represents almost 100% of the Divine Experiment participants in the city! The church was packed even before the service began and overflow seating had to be added. There was a heavy presence of God in the room and a sense of great anticipation and rejoicing among the people! People came filled with expectation, clapping and shouting even before service began! It was funny, the worship team was trying to do their sound check and the people were already trying to worship!

Before meeting, as the pastors and leaders were praying they began repenting and feeling broken before God, they sensed they were stewarding something that was holy and approached the evening service with a fear of the Lord, because they could feel what was about to happen.

As the people were welcomed to the evening the place erupted in amazing applause! The people also felt and recognized how significant it was for the corporate body of Christ to be together to seek God’s face! From the first moment on, any reference to body of Christ would result in people erupting in exuberant applause and worship, people would stand up at any mention of the body of Christ and clap and shout in thanks and worship! It was an atmosphere charged with expectation and abandonment!

Several leaders shared their hearts transparently, that they were done with programs and their own efforts to bring God in to the city. As they shared they ushered people toward desire of more of God. All the participating pastors and leaders then stood in front of the people and linked arms. The congregations then blessed and honored them for their leadership. You could sense a commitment in the room toward the leaders “where you lead we will follow”. It was a powerful impartation of blessing the pastors of the city.

As all 800 + people came forward to receiving their prayer guides and sign a commitment for the 21 days it was like a family reunion! People from every generation and color and denomination were hugging and greeting each other with joy and expectation. Nobody left early…
