Burn @ HeavenFest

On July 26th the city of Denver gathered for a massive Christian music festival called HeavenFest which pulled together over 70 Christian music bands over a 12 hour period—over 10,000 people gathered for this one event. But the focus of this event wasn’t good music. The heart behind HeavenFest was not to bring well known musician and have a good concert but to bring Jesus and see revival.

So we contented for Jesus. People started having worship and intercession meetings once a week months out specifically focused on HeavenFest, 40 days out worship and prayer started nightly, and then the BURN ignited for 77 hours leading up to and through the festival.

Two thousand years ago God in the flesh poured himself out as a sacrifice unto death and in three days the curse was broken. And now Two thousand years later, in a tent placed in the middle of a field with a generator and some Christmas lights, the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve gathered together for three days of purely vertical prophetic radical worship. We shouted, wept, laid prostrate, and cried out saying “Jesus you have to come because we don’t have any other option. COME CHANGE DENVER IN A MOMENT”.

Is that really possible? Can the city of my heart, the city of my youth change with one word from the King? Yes!! Because I serve the God that created the universe in an eternal moment, the said to the waves, and the sun, and the stars, and the sky go here, but no further. He is the God that saved my broken soul, healed my wounded heart, and loosened the chains that wrapped me so tightly.

All we can do is cry out we make intercession with our piano and guitar on a hill just outside of the city and contend for his presence like David did with his harp in the hills as a Shepard. It is too simple; if we think anything else can change our cities we are fools blinded by darkness and lead by a lesser light. The Presence. The Presence. His Presence.

He comes and everything changes.
