******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

 

I must apologize to the Revival Fire world, it has been a while since I have posted.  Not for a lack of God doing the most amazing things.

The past few weeks have been wild.  We have seen powerful healings, just last night, two knees, totally healed.

We have seen salvations, deliverances, many of them outside of Church.  It has been fun, tiring and sometimes, overwhelming, the good and the tough.  The most exciting thing for me is to read the testimonies from others. I just rejoice.

Also, when you are in the midst of battle, it is hard to send a letter home at times.

 

Let me share this, brief God wonder.  Last night at Family, at the Fridays on Fire.

It was a small group of radicals, and hungry hearts.

They did not show up for a speaker, a band, a worship leader.  They came to encounter God.

So many missed, what was for me, an amazing evening.

Soft worship was playing, about 20 people lay on the floor soaking, others were at the prophesy area, some getting prayer for healing, some dancing around the room, others couldn't move because the glory was so thick.

I was so blessed, to be there last night.

It wasn't about a sermon, it wasn't about hype.  It wasn't about charisma, or stirring up a feeling or an emotion, GOD WAS THERE!

I stopped playing with Siobhan for a moment, grabbed some flags, and just started dancing, again.

WOW!  It was enjoyable to know that God simply loves us.  And so often wants us to get all of the other stuff out of the way, so that he could just encounter us.

I stopped dancing for a bit and just started praying over people on the floor.  They didn't know who was praying for them, their eyes were closed, they were getting God.

I prayed over some for such a long time, and I began to weep.  Words cannot describe the night well enough, other than to say, THANK YOU GOD!

Thank you for giving some of the most intimate encounters when I least expect them.

Thank you that you are the biggest name of them all.

Thank you for it still being ABOUT YOU!

 

I don't know if that made sense – a non-elegant message from Matt – I think I am still in Glory Shock, and learning, and getting stretched, and yeah, laughing a bit at the same time.

HHHhhhhhhhmmmmmm – it smells a bit like heaven.

Should be some good holidays

Love ya all
