This week at our church we are having our annual Solemn Assembly, tonight is the final night, and God has just been moving in such an awesome way. Last night while I was praying I began to cry out God for revival in my own life as well as here on the East Coast. As I prayed and called out to God I began to tangibly feel as if my hands and body were on fire and the Lords presence just seemed to wash over me in waves. The Lord mentally took me back to the night that I gave my heart to Jesus ten years ago. I’ll never forget that night as long as I live, I remember sitting in the pews during the preaching of the word and crying almost uncontrollably, I knew that I was missing something in my life and that I needed God! I remember walking forward towards the front altar area of the church when the Pastor gave the altar call and the tangible presence of God just cam upon me so powerfully, I could barely stand! I remember standing there during this incredible experience going “God your real, I can’t believe that your really real! This thing is real!” That night in that little obscure church I met with God and my life was forever changed. I didn’t need someone to try and intellectually prove God to me, I didn’t need to sit through any length of teaching to try and convince me, I believed because I experienced God for myself. There are so many people today who have a head knowledge about God (which is definitely important) but no heart knowledge. That night God manifested Himself to me and captured my heart forever and I have been pursuing Him ever since. The scripture says in Psalm 34:8, “taste and see that the Lord is Good”. It’s an invitation for us to experience God for ourselves, to taste of His goodness. That night God ignited a fire in me that changed the course of my life, and my passion right now is for God to fill me to overflowing, to kindle a greater fire in me than ever before. I am hungry for revival not only in my church and region but also in my own life. Let’s stir up the flames of revival!
