Reflecting on Soulfest-Part 2

One of the best things about Soulfest is the prayer tent. It is basically a place where you can go, alone or as a group, and ask for prayer for specific or general issues you are dealing with. One of the things that the prayer people do occasionally, is prophecy over you. And they are very humble about it, and honest. Seriously. A few of my friends have there doubts about the prophetic words that they tell, and it is understandable. But, I have really seen proof over the years, that God really has spoken through these people in this prayer tent. And many times, they have clarified that they are trusting in God in the things they prophecy about. They say that if nothing they say is true or of God, then they let it fall away, and pray for wisdom and guidance to continue. So, what I want to make clear, is these dudes are die-hard for Christ and they try to hear God if they can, while in prayer. And they are completely honest about it.
And this leads me to one of the biggest reasons this year was special at Soulfest.
My uncle, is an awesome dude. He is funny, awesome to be around, and strives to grow in Christ. He suffers from depression, however, and feels lonely a lot of the time, even though he has a lot of people that are there for him. It can be real rough for him sometimes. So, on the last day of Soulfest, he and me went into this prayer tent together. After they prayed with me, they asked my uncle what they could pray for, for him. And my uncle asked for prayer for his depression and loneliness. Once we went to prayer, the prayer dudes actually were having a hard time to figure my uncle out. They where trying to help him in prophecy and prayer and were coming up blank. The most they got was that there was a struggle in him, between the spiritual side of him, and the sinner in him. And that he had suffered a heavy loss in his past.
After we left, he was rather disappointed. He had kinda had hoped he would have gotten more help from the prayer dudes, and possibly more answers for his life. I encouraged him to examine himself and try to hack through his sinful self and just give it to God.
Later that day, Skillet was getting ready to play and my uncle went to go see them. He was off to the side in the crowd and was waiting for them to start. And a dude came up to him. He told my uncle that he was a real hardcore Third Day fan(They were playing in the opposite stage) and that he really felt compelled to come to see Skillet for some reason. And after a bit of chatting, they began to talk about there time at Soulfest and my uncle found out that this dude suffered from similar things like depression and loneliness. And I guess they were really able to help each other out and had a great time watching Skillet together. It was real enlightening for my uncle. And he left with a greater sense of awareness I think, and realization that God was indeed looking out for him. He seemed to be doing a whole lot better when we left Soulfest that night. And it was really encouraging to see him go from being wicked disappointed at the prayer tent, to being shocked at the amazing night he had, and how God had clearly used this dude that showed up at the Skillet concert to help him. I think none of it would of been possible if he had gotten the things he felt he needed at the prayer tent, but it was an important piece to the puzzle that he didn't hear what he thought he needed. God really does work in mysterious ways.Pretty sweet.
