Come together…

A prophetic message to the body about the process of carrying the anointing from the city of ‘idolatry, religion and confusion’ through city of ‘hype-the-father’, through the house of ‘works and sold-inheritance’ to finally rest in the city of the ‘foundation of peace’ where ‘God passionately seeks you with all His heart’.  I am not sure where this fits in theologically and whether or not there is application anywhere else, but I thought that the message was interesting as a concept of how we move the presence of God back into the house. It seems like a global word for revival, learning how to return the presence to the house of Israel or a safe place for Holy Spirit to show up. Perhaps as a global church we are all at one stage or another of returning to a priority for His presence. Burning to be in His presence, to see His face. And perhaps it is time we moved from personal experiences to corporate experiences. Interesting word study Pastor Rick mentioned. In-Corporate - in the corpse or body mmm that’s a tasty encounter waiting to happen. Ray Hughs said unity is a corporate humility or a knowing of why God is visiting us. I like that. There is something about what God wants to do when He gets into a corporate setting or onto a body of unified people. Unity with Passion is essential to carrying the presence as a corporate anointing. Passion can suffice as a personal thirst for His presence, but the word we need to host His presence as a corporation is, “Come together, right now, over Him”. Both the gathering and the togetherness of our spirits is important. He can be seen by the love we have one for another. That, “Where 2 or 3 gather + together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.” Jesus

Anyway enjoy! There are a few mistakes and some insecurities that drive me nuts… but I think it is still a relevant message.

Surprised by the favor

We came to Nicaragua concerned that there wouldn’t be enough time to do one Ignition Center, but now we have done one and we are about to do another. That is two in the space of 3 months… that is crazy. You know when God gives you a dream and then a plan, you still might be a little unsure of whether it will work? I am here to say it works! People really respond well to this mini-school format. This has been a huge proof of concept for us and we thank God that He has organized it the way that He has. We really believe we are called to feed those who are hungry for revival. People need it and we can do it.

The Spirit reveals!

Leadership Training Classroom

When I go to Diriamba I have the privilege of spending most of Friday with the pastor, answering questions about revival culture. Since I taught ‘Unpunishable’ by Danny Silk last week, most of the questions have been about Unpunishable. It has been difficult to get the concept across these last 2 weeks, so this Friday I said, “Tag, you’re it Holy Spirit!” and I resigned my need to convince the pastor and decided I would spend the day, trying to understand what was so difficult about this subject for him.

I watched the most incredible thing happen. I watched how Holy Spirit moved on a man as we talked, transforming his mind and revealing,  in a few seconds, the mystery that I had worked 2 weeks to try to explain.

I was humbled and moved as realized I spent 2 weeks trying to reach his heart through his mind and Holy Spirit reached his mind through his heart. WOW! Honestly, it was one of the most amazing things I have witnessed.

The other thing we keep noticing about this man is the incredible sense of responsibility and love he has for the people. He wants so badly to see them succeed that he works tirelessly to go after the Kingdom even laying awake night after night trying to grasp truth so he’ll be confident of how to deliver it. I noticed that even though Unpunishable scared him he pursued it with all of his heart and mind so that he could own it before he brought it to the people. His devotion to God’s people and to truth is simply awesome.
