Hillsong United Live in Manila

  Hillsong United Live: the worship night of your life! That’s what the teaser says. After struggling to get some tickets, I’ve finally grabbed 5 for me and my friends. Unfortunately, it was for general admission ticket… no more 800, nor 700, or 550 either. However, it’s not the artist that we’ve paid for, it’s the worship with them.

I’ve been a big fan of Hillsong United. I admire their anointing when it comes to song writing. Never have they failed to create a song so powerful and moving, and those songs have been always an inspiration to many song writers and worshippers. The song “Forever” and “Saving Grace” of Best friend have been always my favorites.

It was 21^st of November, the most highly awaited night of my life, the chance to worship with the Hillsong peeps. Though I had already been of the Hillsong worship team, way back 2004, when Darlene and Ruth Atanacio conducted "Extravagant Worship" workshop as well as Rueben Morgan's, and I have been given the priviledge to go with the team to different regions of the Philippines, the experience to worship with the Hillsong United is extra ordinary. The gate of the stadium was flooded with young people trying to get in and get a sit as close to the stage as possible. We had our way in and the stadium was already crowded with so many young people coming from the metro and nearby provinces. The show started 30 minutes late, but its all worth it for security compliance, we undestand them. Then the band starts to play, and the crowd goes wild. Wild as warriors ready for battle. The atmosphere was so immersed with His presence, and I myself can’t deny it. The worship last for more than two hours of spirit filled song of praises and worship. I almost cried out my soul out when they sung the song “Forever”, which has been my personal song to Him in times of rough road. The concert ended with smile on our faces, an evidence of satisfaction of our spirit. Not bad for 400-peso ticket… lolz! It was indeed a worship night of my life.
