Fire released in the himalayas!

Kathmandu, Nepal  l  05.16.08

We are less than two hours away from the completion of the first ever BURN NEPAL launch!! Its been one wild and crazy adventure to get to this point!!  This quite possibly has been the most interesting and intense global burn launches to date.  Right now the vertical sounds of adoration and love are being released by a group of fiery but war torn Nepali musicians who are giving it their all in these final hours! Many of them have been up all night with “no sleep to their eyes and no slumber to their eyelids” while they find a place for Him to dwell in their nation! (Psalm 132). I can feel the weight of his pleasure and favor in this place even as I am typing this.  It is a completely overwhelming and beautiful cloud that we are in and even though our wonderful BURN NEPAL team is exhausted, wasted, and spent! There is a part of us that doesn’t wanna leave this place!

“I love the house where you live, O Lord, the place where your glory dwells!”

Psalm 26:8

In talking with many of the area pastors and apostolic leaders before we launched this…they shared on how their nation is in a crisis and night and day prayer and worship is the only answer. With a growing Maoist rebel group consuming an entire generation in fear and panic, a newly formed government in a crucial rush to draft an entirely new constitution, extreme levels of poverty, disease, and the booming child trafficking sex trade from India, Nepal has its share of problems. We know the only answer to all these urgent issues is simple – HIS PRESENCE. We need more of it to flood over these beautiful Himalayan Mountains and into the unreached Tibetan Buddhist tribes.  We long to see His Church in this land strengthened and encouraged with a new faith and boldness to grab hold of the promises of God in this hour! We long to see the indigenous sound of these gorgeous voices and instruments released as incense to the Father!!

ITS ALL HAPPENING NOW!! GOD IS DOING IT!!

Now that’s not to say it hasn’t been messy. During the first session last night…we had some very loud and obnoxious demonic deliverances taking place  as our team rebuked the foul spirits controlling these precious people. I love it how when the waters of His Presence begin to stir…that kind of stuff cannot stand!!  It must flee!! That’s our new brilliant deliverance strategy for the nations – WORSHIP! We also are reminding ourselves that this “singing a new song” and “worshipping and praying night day” and “giving God room to sing and speak prophetically” are all brand new concepts over here!! This is fresh stuff for them! Its still even fresh stuff for religious American in many ways! So the BURN has been a lab for us to teach, test, and release this Davidic worship.  Even though it can be very chaotic and frustrating…God is beginning to turn it into something beautiful!!  Even witnessing the transformation over this 24 stint has been amazing!!

So onward we go…we BURN in these last hours for the release of God’s glory all over the nation of Nepal!!!  Keep us in your prayers and contend for this release with us! More info to come as we visit orphanages, mountain house churches, child prostitution rehabilitation homes and more!! Its good to start out with the Blaze first though!

Pray and believe this with us today:

“My righteousness draws near speedily, my salvation is on the way, and my arm will bring justice to the nation. The islands will look to me and wait in hope for my arm. Life up your eyes to the heavens and to the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies.

BUT MY SALVATION WILL LAST FOREVER, MY RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL NEVER FAIL!”

Isaiah 51:5-6

More Lord..
