EXPERIENCING REVIVAL CRUSADE, "Consuming Fire"

WOW! We just came out of our 5Th annual Experiencing Revival Crusade. I'm not sure I can put into words just how awesome God's presence was. He saturated us with His power, presence, love and warmth. It was exciting to see so many touched as only God can do. On Thursday evening we started off with powerful and highly anointed praise and worship by our crusade music leader, Pastor Mark Machan and music team. Mark knows how to usher us into God's Holy presence. God allowed me to share the message, "Refiners Fire." Following the message the alter filled with folks desiring to be consumed with God's fire. Even though it meant dealing with our inner most self, I think we were all ready to be purified and ready for that next level. Friday evening, our worship never ended. When the music fades and the worship continues then you know it is "Pure Worship!" The Holy Ghost did the preaching and we found ourselves in the middle of many miracles. We just continued to worship until up in the evening with no end. Many commented on that they had never been in just a worship service with no preaching. We just believe in following the leading of the spirit. Sometimes God changes the order of our services so that the enemy cannot always know what God is doing. Saturday we had ministry classes available a couple of hours prior to the evening service. By the time the service began, everyone was pumped, and ready to worship. Again, God graced us with His awesome presence. The message title was, "212 Degrees." God is prompting us to push just one more degree to get to the boiling point. When we are intense for Him it shows, and the heat from the fire can be felt on us wherever we go. The greatest blessing for me, was having folks come and say, "God changed my life," "I'll never be the same again." "212 degrees is ringing over in my heart and spirit." "I can't chance being cold and indifferent anymore, I know now that I must stay close to the fire." This was one of the greatest crusades God has ever allowed me to host. Along with Bishop Ron Webb and the MT Calvary Powerhouse Church we were able to present God with Excellence! Folks went away saying, "This was really a display of Consuming Fire!" Plans are now underway for a Spring Crusade. Check the website for coming details. Fall 09 Crusade to be held in Danville, Virginia.
