If you’d have been there, you’d have experienced it for yourself.
It was the night I went into The Haçienda night club for the very first time. It was the week the club opened.
A typical Manchester club back then was rough. When you walked in your shoes would stick to the floor because of all the beer that had been spilled. It seemed the beer wasn’t even beer anymore; it was more like paste. Girls danced round their handbags to chart music. There was always a fight at the end of the night. Does that sound familiar to you?
The Haçienda was different. When I stepped through the doors that night, I was totally blown away. The sound system was unlike anything I’d heard before. The lights were unlike anything I’d ever seen. The building was massive. It was tall with big steel beams supporting the roof. The neon lights lit up the small booths that were at the edge of the wooden dance floor. There was such a sense of space and freedom; it was like stepping into another world.
I’ve realised since that this is a bit like letting God in! Go with me on this! It’s like me, walking through those Haçienda doors for the very first time: you’ll see things you’ve never seen; you’ll hear things you’ve never heard; you’ll have freedom. It’s stepping into another world!
So, what about you? Do you want to see and hear things from a different perspective, a spiritual perspective? Do want to have freedom like you’ve never had before? Then let God in and have the Haçienda night club experience for yourself!
There’s an important verse in God’s instruction book, the Bible, that says, ’You will find me when you seek me with all your heart’.
Reach out to Him, as wholeheartedly as you can, and see what happens.
