OPEN WIDE BABY!!! Byron wrap up..

DREAMING TRIBE.

This was the entire purpose for launching the BURN BYRON BAY this past weekend in New South Whales, Australia - OPEN WIDE BABY. It wasn’t to have another great conference…or to gather by the beach and have a huge hippie dreadlock Jesus movement-fest (although it looked like that at times!)……or to get together and feel “shaba” goosebumps and to get hyped up with a great personality driven service..but our mandate was to OPEN WIDE THE EASTERN GATE…THAT THE KING OF GLORY MAY COME IN!! Its the dream of God and the inheritance of a generation.

In this beautiful continent in the southern hemisphere…there is a movement bubbling up - a tribe passionately pursuing the ONE THING and wasting themselves on HIM. Many Christian trends and moves from this island have spread far and wide…and greatly impacted the globe. While we are thankful for those…we are NOT content and want MORE!! There is a call on the bride to push the envelope and birth something that has never been seen or experienced in this land before for the world to see. It is completely grassroots, messy, underground, nameless and faceless and completely tribal.

THEY CAME.

And so they came from all across Queensland, New South Whales, and beyond to ignite the flame of love on the most easterly point of the continent. The “gathering of the wanderers” took place - like the one in the cave with King David. Even the New Agers know this place is significant as they have planted themselves and their ways in the town of Byron Bay in the searc for authenticity and creativity. Masses of young people flock to this gorgeous strip of paradise every year (1.75 million to be exact) for beaches, clubs, weed, community, and the Spirit. This place draws backpackers and seekers from all continents, people groups, backgrounds, and races. It was created for such a time as this to BURN BRIGHT for the world to see!!

IN SYNC.

There was electricity in the air and favor on the city as we pressed in and lit the altar. The Aussies stayed all night long as the Spirit taught us how to contend, rest, soak, war, and BLAZE on behalf of the nation. God weaved the themes of each session together to create a beautiful tapestry of glory. It was a progression and a procession into the deepest chambers of the King - the place where intimacy is cultivated and released. Simply put - It just FLOWED baby! It was like the Holy Spirit turned the faucet on high from the beginning. The beautiful thing about the loose “format” of the BURN is the ability to give God the SPACE He so desires to do what He wants to do. Its foolish to attempt to build the Tabernacle of David or a “place” of rest for the Lord with the ways of men and structure it to death. It simply doesn’t work. It becomes a routine and a chore where we rarely experience the cairos moments we are seeking. But if we can give God room to show us the desires of HIS heart…as the popular BURNOLOGY phrase goes, “we progress from striving and playing our instrument to the instrument that is being played.” That is when our heart beats in sync the heart of the Father.

UNTIL HE RETURNS.

The Aussie tribe is now consumed with this Psalm 132 mandate. We got one shot at this deal in our lifetime. To pull down all the prophecies, dreams, and promises from Heaven and see them become reality in Australia before we reach our home. This is it. Our bet is on the PRESENCE. I have just spent time and made covenant with some of the best friends of my life! Even though a GINORMOUS ocean separates us…our frames were linked together for this very thing since the beginning of time. We are a tribe that operates out of relationship rather than function. The future is bright and we are going there together. The FLAME has been lit in Byron Bay, Australia and will continue until He returns again one day. Soon the fire will spread throughout the nation and consume the hearts of God’s people. A word came forth in the final hours of the BURNING from John 12:3-5 and was Gods illustration of what went down this weekend.

“Then Mary took a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume, she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. ”

May this great continent be filled with the fragrance of worship to captivate the nations!! May it rise from Byron Bay to Sydney to Darwin to Perth to Asia, Europe, Africa, and the America’s!!! May the sweet smell attract the eyes of the Lord as we create a dwelling place for generations to come!!

MORE TO COME FROM THIS MOVEMENT BIRTHED IN OZ….WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN….
