Have you ever felt like you were living your dream? The last few months have been like that for me. I’m so grateful for everything the Lord has been doing. Young revivalists are being mobilized! They are encountering God, burning with passion for Jesus, being equipped in the supernatural, and changing the world. The state of the Church is in good hands because I’ve seen the upcoming generation and they are on fire. We aren’t just preaching about revival any more we are living in it. This last week was Jesus Culture Redding and I’m seeing things I used to read about in revival history books.
Each service was so thick with the presence of God it was tangible. People were seeing angels, feeling rain inside the building, having visions, encountering the presence of God like never before, and having a revelation of His love for them. We heard testimonies of healing and salvations. God using young people to demonstrate His power and love to the world. It’s not just our conferences though, as good as they are, it’s happening all over the nation. The Call Nashville was epic. It was one of the most encouraging events I have ever been to. It wasn’t just the fact that over 70,000 people filled the stadium to pray and fast for revival in America, it was they believed it is going to happen. The stadium was full of hope and faith. It’s a whole new breed of believers who believe it is God’s heart to see America turn back to Him. I’m hearing about testimonies of the supernatural from churches everywhere I go. I was just in Brownsville and the place blew up with the power of God. There was genuine hunger to be people who demonstrate God through healing and signs and wonders. People were getting healed in the meeting by just raising their hand and responding to words of knowledge. Then the young people laid hands on the sick and saw God heal people through them. Revival is happening right now! I know there will be increase. I know there will be more power, more salvations, more fire, more of what we have been pressing in for. But it is upon us. What we have been praying for is here. We must recognize that and rejoice in it. That is not to say we must stop pressing in for more and for increase, but make sure while you are doing that you take time to enjoy the current revival. It’s not just a faraway dream anymore. The last two months I’ve seen and experienced things I’ve dreamed about for years. It makes me want to press in even harder and give myself even more for revival. May God open your eyes to the revival that is happening all around you and may He put a hunger in your heart for even more.
