To show how to properly lead a NET retreat, we all need to be on a NET retreat, which is exactly what happened on Wednesday. Going into it I was so heavily focused on ministry and learning what I have to prepare for, such as dramas and talks and skits, that my mind wasnt entirely there. I began to feel anxious and uneasy, and I seeked comfort and confirmation I can do everything that is given to me. So when we got to the deep part of the night, known as Prayer Ministry, I gave my heart to God and asked for comfort. They provided NET leaders to pray over retreatants, and when I had the chance I got prayed over by a couple of guys. When I returned to my seat, I needed to lie down. Next thing I knew I found myself resting in the Spirit. If you dont know what that is, basically when you call for the Holy Spirit and it fills your mind and soul, and if it thinks you need to be healed, it will put you to sleep so it may work through you much easier. How do I know it wasnt just me falling asleep? Well, when I rested, I couldnt open up my eyes no matter how hard i tried, and i began breathing really intensely. I couldnt move my legs but I was still very conscious of what was happening and starting freaking out mentally. When I awoke, a wave of comfort and peace entered me, and I smiled. It was such a surreal feeling, but I am forever grateful for that moment.
