8 years later and He is faithful

Dallas, TX  l  08.21.08

This weekend was a marker in the history of my life.

Not just because 70,000 lovers of God filled the Mall in Washington DC for 12 hours of fasting, prayer, and worship contending for revival in America during The Call DC and I was honored to be apart in rumbling some prayers off during the day. Not just because I celebrated my 25th Birthday with all my best friends and family at the Global Burn Summit (which was epic!!). Not just because I have the most gorgeous wife in the world who has loved me for over 8 years now (high school sweethearts).

It symbolizes an 8 year season of divine faithfulness, growth, and favor in God that I cannot and will never forget.

Living in Chesapeake, VA eight years ago, I was about to turn 17 years old and heading into my junior year of high school and football camp. I loved God and grew up in the church where my dad was a pastor. I had just learned to play guitar that summer (mom bought me a guitar) and wail my heart out during our youth group meetings held in the primary public school building we rented down the street from my house. No plasma screens or smoke machines, no great sound system, and no gimmicks in those days…it was just a messy gathering of 300-400 self-absorbed American suburban high school friends that were hungry for the reality of Jesus and His Presence. And we got it.  He showed up time and time again in spite of the poor musical ability and fickle hearts.

It was the aroma of our unbridled passion that drew Him near and our recognition of desperation and brokenness that kept Him near.

In the summer of 2000 we all headed up to something called “The Call” in Washington DC. We didn’t really know what we were getting ourselves into or what is was about…but of course we weren’t going to pass up a last “horrah” trip to DC before school kicked in on monday. When I stepped onto the grass of the National Mall that day with over 400,000 Americans (mostly from my generation) praying, worshipping and genuinely crying out to God for the sake of the nation - something shifted in the deepest parts of my being.

I still cannot really articulate the depth of what happened in that moment. All the lies, constraints, and bondages of culture, religion, and the “American Dream” were severed off my life and I breathed the air of freedom in. Courage, faith, and hope rushed like fountain through the pores of my skin seeping into the depth of my heart and compelled me to believe the wildest things I’ve ever thought and dreamed before. A surge of His Presence and favor washed over my life as I spent the next 12 hours praying, fasting, repenting and worshipping. He marked me that day. He sealed my heart (Song of Solomon 8:6) for good and I would never be the same again.

The journey began and I was “commissioned” to follow the dreams of my heart and wind of the Spirit.

The nostalgia experienced was overwhelming to me as I walked back onto the Mall this past Saturday with our whole BURN crew from around the world (I love you all like family!!). Memories of 2000 couldn’t help but come rushing forth. God birthed a life vision and mandate in my heart that day that haunts me every waking moment of my life. I beheld a vision of a growing army made up of nameless and faceless “burning ones” scattered all over the globe. They were positioned in every nation, tribe and tongue and releasing a burning and fragrant incense that rose in fires all over the earth. As God was sitting high above the earth in the heavens, He began to breath this smoke and incense of vertical worship into His nostrils. This so pleased the Lord that He poured down the rain of revival, blessing, and salvations (end time harvest!) all over the earth.

Revelation dawned on me that He would not come back to Bride or people that did not want Him or were not ready. He was looking for those who would stir up zeal and worship until every tribe, tongue and nation agreed “Let the Spirit and the Bride say COME” (Rev. 22:17).

Its been 8 years, a beautiful wife, a wonderful family, the best friends of my life, a college degree, over 15 countries, lots of battle wounds through sacrifice and pain, 50 burning cities, and a growing global army of worshipping burning warriors later and here I stand.

He is faithful and true. Always and forever. Don’t ever doubt or question it. We still have a long way to go, but that is a lesson of a lifetime.

“I will sing of the Lords great love forever, with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.”

Psalm 89:1

Precious Burnites,
 
I just got home from the Burn Summitt and The Call in Washington DC, and the Lord has lit me up with a renewed vision and fervor to intercede for this land!  I AM REFRESHED AND READY TO TAKE THE LAND AGAIN!  WE ARE GOING TO BE RELEASING THE SWEET FRAGRANCE OF WORSHIP AND ABANDONMENT IN THE RIVER VALLEY TO SEE A TRANSFORMATION OF OUR LAND!
 
 
The Lord spoke to me the morning before The Call and said that I was going to a “governmental summitt”, and that I would be bringing back a strategy for dominion in the River Valley!  I was unsure of what that meant exactly until a group of us went to pray on the steps of the Capitol (where the Senate and House of Representatives resides and all of our national laws are made).  At the base of the Capitol, I was overcome with the spirit of confusion that resided there.  I literally felt like I had stepped onto foreign soil, because of the demonic strongholds that are circling our law-makers.  Our country was based on the sure foundations of righteousness, but that foundation has been given away to the strongholds of tolerance and greed! It is right and good for all men to have equal liberties, but at what cost have we allowed those equal liberties?  We have allowed mothers to kill their unborn children… we have allowed the government to take our civil liberty of prayer out of our schools… HOW LONG WILL WE ALLOW A BABYLONIAN RULE TO RESIDE IN OUR NATION!?!?
 
On the steps of the capitol, as four of us were interceding boisterously in the midst of at least 300 people… I felt a war-cry stirring in my spirit! IT’S TIME TO TAKE OUR LAND BACK FROM THE ENEMY!! IT’S TIME TO LIFT UP THE NAME OF THE LORD IN OUR NATION! IT’S TIME TO FORSAKE FEAR AND RISE UP TO A HOLY MANDATE IN OUR LIVES!
 
Under me… I could feel the ground trembling!! THE EARTH IS READY FOR THE RETURN OF THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE!  The Lord is coming back into the land! He is establishing justice again! Judgement is ringing in the ears of all who hear! I was so struck with the urgency of the hour this week!!
 
RIVER VALLEY!! IT IS TIME TO FALL ON YOUR FACE!! IT IS TIME TO CONTEND FOR THE LAND! NO MORE TIME FOR GAMES! NO MORE TIME FOR OFFENSES! DO NOT LET THE ENEMY WOUND YOU ANY LONGER! LET A WAR-CRY ARISE IN YOUR SPIRITS FOR YOUR FAMILIES… FOR YOUR FRIENDS… FOR THIS CITY… FOR YOUR NATION!! IT’S TIME TO TAKE THE LAND BY FORCE!! WE ARE AT WAR IN OUR NATION, AND IT IS TIME TO RECOGNIZE IT! WE HAVE THE KEYS TO UNLOCKING OUR CITY… THOSE KEYS ARE WORSHIP & INTERCESSION!!!!
 
 
 
So… Please come to the Burn August 30th!! We will be contending for the land with repentance and abandonment!
 
What:  BURN FT. SMITH
When: AUGUST 30TH  12pm-12am (12hrs)
Where:  Crossroads Church  200 Rudy Rd. Alma, AR
Why:  TO SEE THE LORD’S RIGHTEOUS THRONE RISE IN OUR LAND!

08.06.08 l Somewhere on Hainan Island, China

From a Bar to Beijing 
The supernatural ways of God have infected every day of our journey thus far. Divine encounters, powerful salvations, incredible healings, and the manifest Presence of God have marked us. We are out in the village on this beautiful mountainous island standing in the South China Sea off mainland China. There’s definitely a different feel out here from our first Burn launch in the fastest growing city in the nation (Shenzhen) and even from our second in the capital city of this province (Haikou). We are in a place where time somewhat stands still. Deemed the “Hawaii” of China, the island of Hainan is a popular vacation spot for the growing population of Chinese who can afford to travel. But the village we are in now is off the beaten path of vacationers.

Although you would think the government is somewhat relaxed and laid back in a place like this…think again. Please remember this is still China and NOT Hawaii. The week before we were coming out here…the host pastor of the first ever Burn in this region was arrested and brought in by the police on charges of suspicion. The government is anxious, worried, and fearful as the Olympics kick-off this friday and cracking down on anything they see as out of the norm. I guess a room crammed full of boisterous Chinese going for 24 hours of nation-shaking heart-pounding worship would raise a bit of an alarm!! Nevertheless…we could not deny the hunger of the people and so we moved locations to a place less common for a gathering like this - a sweet bar/nightclub. PERFECT!!!

Fire ripped through the place as the concept of vertical and Davidic worship was “caught” during the first set. We experienced something that has never happened during 24 hours of burning before - A WEDDING!! That’s right!! A couple that was denied a wedding by their family because of their love for Jesus desired be unified in the BURNING presence of God with all their radical worshipping friends!!! How amazing and prophetic is that?! This is definitely a prophetic picture of what God is doing in the nation today. He is longing for the true marriage of the lamb to take place across CHINA!! It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen happen in a BURN before and we were so honored to be apart of this event with the couple and their loving community.

There is much more to write but time is short and wifi is scarce. Tonight we depart for the final leg of our journey. We know God always saves the best wine for last and so we are expecting something to happen beyond our wildest dreams during our final Burn launch in Beijing. The entire world is gathering in that city this week…and God will ALWAYS get the glory when the attention of the world is at stake. We are contending for a mighty wave of God’s Presence to pour out of this burning furnace and wash over every tribe and tongue gathered there. We know God will manifest this through healings, salvations, miracles, and we’re elated at how this might all unfold.

Please pray for safety as we pass through the rigorous security process on our way into the city late tonight…we want to protect the precious lives of those leaders and pastors we’ll spent the last week with. They are forever in our hearts and they are BURNING like never before!

We’re gonna finish this off strong…but we covet, value and MUST have your prayers in this crucial hour!! We are confident in the truth of John 1:5 as we wrap up this assignment:

The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn’t put it out! (MSG)

Feel free to pass this on!!

08.31.08 l Downtown Shenzhen l Southern China

I am in love with this country - period.

We haven’t even been on the ground in mainland China 48 hours yet…and we have already imparted our heart for BURN 24-7 with the apostolic pastors, worship leaders, and musicians (in a “short” 6 hour service yesterday), hung out and loved on precious children at a local orphanage, and are now 9 hours into our first of four BURN launches across the nation!! We dont play games on these trips people!! Time is short and the kingdom is at hand here!! We launched 24 hours of nonstop, passionate, vertical worship and prayer with the thriving underground church here in a small room tucked away on the 5th floor (grace!!) of a massive business skyscraper in the downtown of the fastest growing city in all of China!! There couldnt be a more strategic city to ignite this blaze in and I’ve never met a people more ready and hungry for it.

Shenzen is the “southern gate” of China and the largest port in the nation (3rd largest in the world!). Anything received and welcomed here quickly spreads throughout the entire country. So shall it be with this fire God is releasing as I’m typing now! The average age of the city population is under 30 years old and they are yearning for truth and life in the midst of the “economic boom” that has radically shifted the lives of evert Chinese citizen. I heard the prophetic declaration spoken from Hanna when we arrived two days ago: “these people are dry kindling…they are so ready for this!” She was so right and that statement has never been more true. I’ve never met people so tender towards the Presence of God. They just melt when He enters the room. They know their Jesus and He is keen to come visit them whenever they ask. They are a weeping, warring, waiting, hungry people and what I’ve learned from them in this short time has already changed my life!

This entire idea of Davidic night and day worship is a brand new concept in this nation. As we shared and taught on this yesterday with pastors and leaders around the city, they ate up every word we spoke and every prayer we prayed. They asked many questions and agreed that God’s Presence is the only hope to reach over 1 billion lost souls across the nation. Three things about what we’ve experienced have blasted me already.

1) As we strategized on how to plan this first of many BURNS…they suggested that we take 3 hour sets each because the typical 2 hours is just too short!! This is the first time in all my travels in planting the BURN furnaces across the world that I’ve ever heard this. We just couldnt deny them…so 3 hours it was!

2) I quickly realized that you don’t “lead” worship with the Chinese…there is no such thing. They blaze with all their heart towards Jesus and you just try to keep up with them!! They could easily do without you..that is a powerful revelation for the nations.

3) The pure simplicity of worship has hit me so hard tonight. I really struggled going into this BURN because they insisted that our team take the first  shifts while hundreds of eager NON-ENGLISH speaking Chinese were ready to worship with us. I tried to explain that it would be hard for them to understand and engage because I dont know any Mandarin or any of their songs. They taught me how to say “Jesus Come” and I knew that Hallelujah was pronounced the same (as in all languages). So that was enough to fill 3 hours of worship. THEY NEVER GOT TIRED OF SAYING THOSE SIMPLE WORDS…AND I REALIZED THAT I NEVER GOT TIRED EITHER!!

Maybe we make things too complicated in the West with our many crafty words. Maybe “Come Jesus” and “Hallelujah” is enough. It sure works over here in the fastest growing church in all of recording history.

Just some thoughts and revelations…We’re all getting blasted over here!! I’ve found myself just laying prostrate asking God for the same passion, zeal and fervor that drives them to weep, wail, groan, dance, and sing at the top of their lungs to their Father!!

Its beautiful, moving, and BURNING hot right now! Thanks for praying!

More to come!! We fly out tomorrow for destination #2…be praying for us as we go!!

stay in the heat….

****PLEASE PASS THIS ON AS YOU FEEL LED TO STIR UP PRAYER*****

san francisco, ca l 07.27.08

all eyes on china

1.4 billion souls and over 20% of the total world population is at stake.

Its been one wild insane beautiful week leading up to our BURN CHINA team departure today from SFO. My week actually started out in the Bay Area pouring into the move stirring in hungry hearts off Market Street in downtown San Francisco. What is so great about this season we are living in marked by favor and unusual “nearness” to the Presence of God is that He is no respecter of persons, cities, or nations!! God doesn’t love China more than He loves America or Lakeland more than San Francisco!!!! Isn’t that beautiful! His ways are not our ways nor His thoughts our thoughts (Is. 55:8)! God is simply showing up wherever people are getting on their face, getting over themselves, and realizing life is worthless and the world is hopeless without a real demonstration of His power and Kingdom manifested on earth. So last Sunday night we went for it and God showed up like He’s been doing every night for well over a month with this tribe of passionate pursuers in Northern CA! We felt the wave of the Lord come with true repentance, authentic joy, and divine healings!

His power became stronger and stronger as the days of the week moved forward. We journeyed to Tyler on Wednesday for a night of consecration and worship with tons of ravenous youth kids contending for fire to be released all over East Texas.  It was by far the most passionate crew I’ve ever been with out there…an army is coming forth that will break off religion in that region! We followed this up the next night with powerful Burn Preview meeting in DFW and an open air tent “revival style” gathering in the Texas countryside the night after that!   I’m beginning to witness people flocking to any place where they feel God might show up…they are coming out of the woodwork…and He is meeting us!

In preparation for China…I’ve been watching some footage from the underground church and its completely wrecking me forever!  Witnessing hundreds of Chinese believers packed together in an underground cave for their daily routine prayer meeting at 430am and they are weeping, laying prostrate, groaning and crying out in sincere devotion and desperation will mess you up! And this is NORMAL for them!!  The passion far eclipses anything I’ve ever experienced before…it moves me to tears and leaves me aching for more.  Not that anything could prepare me for what we are about to encounter…but I have new levels of desire stirring my heart for His Kingdom to be revealed to mankind. I know its all been building for what we are about to be apart of.

Let me quickly clarify a few things. We are NOT going to China as pompous and arrogant westerners feeling they “need” anything we have to give. We are broken and spilled out vessels going to serve, learn, grow, worship, and pray. We all realize we just need MORE of Gods Presence poured out on the nation and that is what binds us together.  Some of the most incredible doors imaginable have flung wide open for us on this trip! I cant go into too much detail, but we’ll be working solely with the thriving underground church as we journey from Hong Kong to Beijing and everywhere in between teaching, releasing, imparting, and burning night and day with the most passionate lovers on the planet. I’m personally praying to receive the mighty and real impartation of HUNGER on levels I know not of. I’m sooo ready for it and I know I need it more now than ever before!!

The eyes of the world are on China in this hour as they host the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and welcome the nations of the world within the communist borders. China is taking center stage and demanding the attention of the world. We believe with the underground church that “her light has come!” (Is. 60:1) God has positioned this whole deal from the beginning of the foundations of the earth and has set it all up. HE OWNS THE STAGE OF HISTORY IN THIS HOUR AND NO ONE (government, leader, principality) WILL TAKE IT FROM HIM! To the outside world, China is marked by a booming economy and quickly emerging as the new world super power crushing anyone that stands in her way. To the Chinese believers, the nation is corrupt, godless, plagued by famine, tribal wars, earthquakes, drought, and in desperate need of another sovereign move of God.

So here we are again…at a true moment of desperation on behalf of a nation in crisis. If He doesnt show up, reveal himself, and pour out His presence - the Nation and its 1.4 billion souls have no hope. The show is set and the OVER 20% OF THE WORLDS POPULATION LIVING IN HER BORDERS IS WHAT IS AT STAKE!! Pray for us as we journey on the next two weeks following the voice of the Spirit and planting sustainable furnaces of vertical worship and prayer among the largest nation in the world. WE NEED YOU TO RISE UP AND ENGAGE HEAVEN WITH US!!

Please pray our team verse with us:

” I will go before you and level the mountains, I will break down the gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you the treasures [souls] of darkness [communist China], riches [souls] stored in secret places [underground church], so that you may know that I am the Lord..”

07.17.08 l Morningstar Ministries l Fort Mill, SC

What began as a “normal” worship conference ended with the commissioning of an army of rabid young psalmists, musicians, and worshippers to cultivate and raise up places for Jesus to lay His head in their cities, nations, and lives. This great exchange shows the season and the times we are in. Who wants a “typical” or even just a “good” charismatic conference anymore anyway?? One word = LAME.

My expectations are so high now every time we gather together to seek His face that I’m really disappointed if I leave not seeing a different side of HIm than I’ve seen before!! Like Moses, my dream is to talk to God “face to face” (Ex. 33:11) as a man would his friend. In order to not literally die while this happens and ascend the “hill of the Lord” David warns that we must have “clean hands and a pure heart” (Ps. 24:4). While I believe God is granting a generation accessibility to Him on levels we’ve never thought were possible on earth, this always comes with a price. While most of us (me included) have no clue how much we have to sacrifice or our flesh must sizzle to get there…we are all saying the same thing -  “WE WANT YOU NO MATTER THE COST….NO MATTER THE PRICE!!”  LIFE IS JUST LAME WITHOUT YOU AND YOUR PRESENCE!! SO TAKE US THERE THAT WE MAY TRULY LIVE, EXPERIENCE TRUTH, AND DWELL WITH YOU!!

This was the very thing we taught, trained, and imparted to this massive crew of worshippers last weekend in Fort Mill, SC. Its a deeper and truer desire than just honing your skills (which is very important), learning your theory, and getting in the flow as a worship leader…but its the passion, zeal, and hunger for HIS FACE. This is where it all starts. Hunger drove this crew from California, Canada, Honduras, Austria, and even South Korea to this conference!! Talk about desperation! They were the face of a new wave of broken, random, beautiful, and hungry tribe longing for more.

Well, more is exactly what they got!! The last night of the conference, we honored Leonard Jones as a father of this massive global worship movement spreading like fire around the globe. As a cynical, arrogant and prideful generation…we must learn to HONOR those who have come before and labored among us!! The words of Bill Johnson are wise and timely in this season: “You cannot receive from what you don’t honor.” This simple act released something electric in the atmosphere and as John Mark and I released this Davidic worshipping mandate to BURN BRIGHT until the return of Jesus…the fire began to blaze in that room! SInce the conference was called “THE FURNACE” - I guess we got what we asked for! Arrows of passion and zeal were shot into the hearts of those in the room and people were so overcome with the fire of God that they could no longer stand. We thought we would end with releasing our sound of love and affection to the Father…so we lifted our voices together as one united instrument of praise. From that point forward, the sound didn’t stop until 7am the next morning!! They took the words to rebuild the tabernacle of David literal and they burned all night long!!  I could only make it until 2am before I was wiped…but they kept going and going and burning and burning!!

I’m beginning to realize that once this dream is caught…people don’t want to stop. Why should we stop them?! I say BURN ON BABY!! The widespread revelation God is sharing with His bride is the same thing He spoke to Mike Bickle in Cairo, Egypt many years ago: I’m going to change the face of the church in one generation.” I got news for you…HE IS GOING TO USE US TO DO IT!

EVERYONE OUT THERE - DON’T STOP BURNING UNTIL HE RETURNS…IN YOUR CAR, YOUR HOME, YOUR CHURCH, AND IN THE FURACE!! NEVER LET THE FIRE DIE!!

Check out a sweet video from this weekend at the link below! Its good stuff you’ll wanna see!!

We are headed to the West Coast this weekend and going to join theexplosion of God’s Presence being released heart of downtown San Francisco every night for the past month!! More come…stay tuned!!

 06.20.08 l 2.38am l Mount Carmel, Israel

We’ve come to the mountain of the Lord!

Its the original place of burning and fire. Its a place of devotion, zeal, faith and victory. In a time of corruption, wickedness, and godlessness during the rule of Ahab and Jezebel thousands of years ago, Elijah summoned the 450 prophets of Baal to a contest of fire as the entire nation of Israel looked on. Elijah’s deep devotion to the Father led Him to the revelation that God is not in the slightest bit scared by the spirit of Jezebel (even though Elijah he was!). His zeal rose up to contend and prove that God ALONE is faithful to His people and will not be put to shame. His faith led him to stand alone and against the powers of his day to call down the fire of God to consume the sacrifice on the altar. His victory released him to destroy the prophets of Baal while the nation saw “the God who answers by fire” (1 Kings 18:24) reveal Himself to an entire generation.

We are once again in time of absolute corruption and wickedness with a spirit of Jezebel reigning in our midst. Not only is Israel in shambles with wickedness, corruption, and unrighteousness supreme in the land…but the entire planet is in crisis! Nations are raging and the earth is groaning through floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, fires and storms (watch the news!). We and we have come to the mountain for an entire generation to once again witness that HE alone is Faithful as the God who answers by Fire! First that the scales would fall off the eyes of the Jews in the land and the nations of the world would follow suit (Rom 1:16).

So it makes sense that we would culminate our two week journey of rending the Heaven’s over the nation of Israel with 40 intense hours of BURNING on this sacred place. Everything has been lined up in preparation on the trip for this very moment. We are suspending in time and literally “caught up” with Him. Night and day merge together and we are overwhelmed and saturated in His goodness, joy, hope, zeal, and  salvation. We have taken in so much over the last few weeks that it would take hours to explain and expound on all the prophecies, dreams, visions, impressions, and unctions from the Sprit. Its been one wild flow led entirely by the Spirit from start to finish! We’ve spent time burning in worship and prayer for Jerusalem’s sake and restoration of the Jews…we’ve ventured into the some of the darkest places on earth (the palestinian refugee camps ) where terrorists are created and asked God to ignite a blaze among the Arabs that cannot be quenched…we’ve grabbed the mantles of Abraham, Joshua, Elijah, John the Baptist, and many others…and we’ve walked, talked, dreamed, and spent our most time with Yeshua.

While taking all that in is incredibly overwhelming for this crew (they are all completely wrecked, smashed and broken for life..Never to be the same again!!)…we are using those images, prayers, tears, and groanings as fuel for the fire this weekend!! Together with Jews, Arabs, Russians, Americans, Africans, and many other tribes…a sweet smelling incense is rising from this mountain. Songs, prophecies, declarations, and prayers are being released all tongues…its beautiful!! Its the kingdom and the nations!! The prophecy is now being fulfilled that God would draw the nations back to Israel (Ez 36:24) and here we are!! We are in a defining moment in history where this thing is playing out before our very eyes!!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! WAKE UP NATIONS!! WAKE UP ISRAEL!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!  THE HOUR IS HERE….THE KINGDOM IS AT HAND…FRESH FIRE IS RAINING DOWN FROM HEAVEN!!! DONT MISS YOUR APPOINTED HOUR!

Onwards we shall BURN!! We still have more than 20 hours left and things are just picking up!! Last night we physically saw a cloud the size of a mans hand rise from the sea (1 Kings 18:44)!! It grew larger and and larger and covered the entire top of the mountain….YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!

RAIN IT DOWN OH LORD!!!

fire on you..

Mt. Zion, Jerusalem, Israel    l    2:17am    l    06.13.08

And here we are again..burning and gazing on Mount Zion. There is nothing like it in the entire world. Its the spiritual and governmental headquarters of humanity. Its the very place where “He dwells” according to hundreds of scriptures throughout the Word. And like we laughed about yesterday…He’s not having an identity crisis because theres a little golden mosque on it either! My soul is riveted to core once again and I cannot possibly sleep. The well of emotion, excitement, anticipation, and awe is deep and true inside my heart. I’m dazed right now while typing this because the heavenly sounds are rolling off this the lips and fingers of this young girl from East Texas who is being consumed with a new facet of God’s face. You can only see this side of Him by coming and experiencing this in His land of Israel. Its not anywhere close to hype or manipulation…its an overwhelming rush of His Presence that has been in this place all day and night as we’ve come to consecrate ourselves through fasting, blazing, and gazing. I’ve said it so many times before…Jerusalem has the most intense atmosphere out of any nation in the world…but God is SO NEAR!! The very moment you give him a mere crack of space with worship….He takes full advantage and invades so fast it takes your breath away.

Our team is a literal fulfillment of the many prophecy’s that God drawing the nations back to this place to worship.  We come with 17 worshipping and weeping warriors from four nations around the world. Tonight as I sang out Isaiah 62:6…this word was confirmed over us.

“I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of all the earth”

That sums this whole deal up. We came not for a “holy land tour” or fun summer mission trip to entertain Americans (We have enough of those don’t we?). We came to take our post as watchmen. We came to weep and repent for a broken and disillusioned people. We came to pray and worship until the hard heart of every Jew and Arab is softened to Yeshua. We came to contend for the fulfillment of everything promised over this city and nation.

We came for Zion’s sake.

“For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch.”

Isaiah 62: 1

Please continue to pray for us as we head into 10 days of full on ministry, burning, and contending from one end of the nation to the other. We need supernatural strength and energy to fulfill what we are here for.

more to come!
