NEW ZEAL*LAND

Well this past week has been one of the most incredible and rigorous schedules of my life!!! Its been full on nonstop from start to finish everyday!! But thats the only way to live these days…its like you are in one big swirl with God and His purposes for a generation!

New Zealand was absolutely insane…one of the most beautiful places on earth..every kind of terrain and beauty you can imagine…massive snowcapped rugged peaks to black sand beaches to thick green forests. Its one thing to watch it on “Lord of the Rings” and another to actually see it!! There were a few times driving through the country or walking on the beach and I was completely captivated by the beauty of the Lord…an overwhelming feeling as God was revealing himself to me through His works.

The Kiwi’s (New Zealanders) are a hungry breed…some of the most hungry people I’ve met. The nation sits as the first time zone on the dateline..meaning the SON rises first on their shores. It is located in the south south pacific and is the farthest nation away from Jerusalem - it is literally the “ends of the earth!” The western “system” of the church has successfully been exported from the States (not a good thing) but people are crying out for MORE!! It was totally one of those God things that I even showed up in that nation. When I booked my ticket originally…I had a few days in between weekend conferences and BURN launches and my heart longed to visit New Zealand. I had no clue who I was going to stay with or what I was going to do…I just knew I had to go. This has been the typical story of the last year of our journey…whether its Holland, San Francisco or beyond…when God asks us to go to nation or city….I dont ask questions anymore. Its the life of following the cloud baby!! Somehow…someway…God connected us with the real BURNERS in that nation and it was beautiful!! We had a powerful worship night where I unloaded and spewed out BURN 101 stuff…and then an intimate night of fellowship following with deeper connecting for those who are going to cultivate this SPACE for Gods presence. The family who hosted me are part of our tribe…their kindness and pure hearts blew me away.

Its happening and God is pleased. The remnant has gathered from this beautiful nation and a furnace of the PRESENCE is about to be ignited! LET THE FLAMES RISE LORD!! RELEASE THE “NEW ZEAL” for the presence!!

We are in Sydney now and have gathered lovers from around this beautiful city to blaze..its been some of the most incredible outpourings I’ve ever been apart of during the last few days…lots more to come…
