Youth Revival in Manila [Hillsong Young and Free]

All I can say is I'm lost for words. I'm still have hangover from last night's concert then this. Writing this blog is a big time challenge. 

Same as yesterday, Jasmin and I decided to went early to find some comfortable seats. We're actually at Araneta 2 hours before. So, we had some snacks. To be honest, seing the stage fasion of this concert disappoints me. I've been through Hillsong United concert and the stage is jaw-dropping, this design is not Hillsongs, I thought. 

Then, there goes the intro, we had some hosts that just drop by to say Hi and giveaway some shirts and teach us some dance steps. The Ha - Hammur (Hat - Hammer) dance step. It's fun, they're fun. No wonder why they were called Young and Free.

The concert starts with This is Living. One thing I realized is this place is dark, the light is in the stage, all the those colorful lights. There's no lyric/video on the big screen above and it makes it even darker. 

There's a reason for this, I now see their effort and creative juices. The stage is really astonishing and with those wonderful lights, they shocked me. This is a call, we can serve and give glory to God with the skills and the talent that we have. He gave us creativity to worship Him.

Here's their line up.

I found this online, credits to the owner.

All I can say is this is a Youthful worship and indeed, gave us revival, a revival in our hearts that we hope that will go through our nation. There's truly no place than this. A place of worship. OMG, my heart explodes.

Citipointe Live in Manila

After months of excitement, it all comes down to this day. The much awaited return of Citipointe in Manila, which was held at CCF Center Pasig. As I've observe, it shows that the Concert part is the culmination of CCF's event called Move. 

Jasmin and I got an Uber to find CCF center. We found the place and decided to sneak in the building, then later decided to have our Mirienda/Dinner, we ate at Classic Savory and zip some coffee from Starbucks. Then waited in the Auditorium until the concert starts.

I've been listening to every album of Citipointe since they announced their concert here. And to be honest, I'm not familliar with the new songs, eventually, after listening to the album on repeat, it gave me some insights and a call of worship through their songs, basically I'm blessed and I got myself familiar with their tune.

Then the concert starts, or should I say, Worship?

They opened the night with Into The Deep action, which made me realize how awesome this night would be. 

Then it goes on with couple of their new songs, then the classics, Into the deep to Burning Bright to Commission My Soul and Higher + Wider + Deeper. They also a special song that they've wrote here in the Philippines during their last visit, if I'm not mistaken, it's Heart Open Wide.

This is a great time of worship. God really used these people to lift Him up. Their testimony inspired us, we're blessed. 

And of course, ending the concert here in the Philippines is not easy and it's a bet. After their set, they came back with couple of more songs. God used them to add flames in our hearts in worship.

What a great night indeed.
