“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” In other words, if you throw a ball at a brick wall that ball is going to bounce off that wall and come back to you. Action causes action. This is what we are looking for when we pray. One of the most powerful actions in the universe is prayer. Therefore, true prayer must produce and cause action. It’s time we become unsatisfied with anything less then our prayers resulting in action! There are two types of action our prayers should produce.
I just returned home from a great ministry trip to Lake Tahoe. Almost immediately after seeing the lake I began to think about walking out onto the water. This is because I have a burning desire inside of me for the impossible. I have had dreams in which I am flying through the air, watching lightning come down from heaven when I prayed for someone, and walking into a room full of people in wheelchairs with every one of them being completely healed. We were born for the impossible!
At the end of last year, the Lord began to speak to me about 2007. He told me He was releasing the dreamers again and that He was releasing a “Why Not” anointing on people. Over the next few months I began to receive a simple yet profound revelation on the dreamers being released again. In the midst of that, I had a dream where I was preaching to people, reaching inside of them, and uncapping the wells of dreams. I was activating in them the ability to dream. Let me explain what I have been seeing.
There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens, and great revolutions for good or evil spring up in the vacuum created by these openings. In these divine moments key men and women and even entire generations risk everything to become the hinge of history, the pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing.
The rebellious generation of the 60’s seized its moment, and history crashed into the deep abyss of drug addiction, sexual immorality, hatred for authority, and a rejection of the law of God.
About a month ago I had a dream. In the dream there was a woman in a large room. The walls of the room had strips of dark, rich fabric lining them. Immediately I knew that the woman in the room had given her self completely to making that room look the way it did. I knew that she had really spent time decorating and making everything in the room just right. There was no furniture in the room yet. The woman was looking around and there was something missing. The room was not quite finished. Then some people came in carrying a gold colored couch.
I hate to admit it, but I was once addicted to The Price Is Right. It was the summer before my sophomore year of high school, and I did not have my drivers license yet, so I found myself waking up every day at 10:00 a.m. and turning on the television to the words, “Come on down! You’re the next contestant on the Price Is Right.” Little did I know my hours of watching that show over the summer would years later pay off. Let me explain.
A voice of one calling: in the desert prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
There is a comparison drawn in the Word of God between burning and living fully for God. There is something in the very nature of God that burns. It is this aspect of Himself that will be reflected in the army that He is calling forth across the earth. Becoming one of God’s Burning Ones is tangible, attainable and necessary.
Psalm 97:3-6 describes God this way:
Students on university campuses today are desperate for the presence and the power of Jesus Christ. Even so, it is difficult to find a university campus that is currently experiencing a movement of power, purity, and authoritative prayer. In an age when the testimonies of worldwide revivals and miraculous outpourings have become almost commonplace, it is time that we begin to ask the question; why are American university campuses lacking the presence and power of Jesus Christ?
