What is a stronghold, and how do we break it?

POWERFUL TESTIMONIES

 

Progression of a Revival--Oklahoma City

Submitted by Don Keesee (nations888@aol.com)

 

The move of God in Oklahoma City I want to report on (one of several things in several groups here) had its roots in the Wesleyan revival of long ago (Wesley and Whitefield), Methodist revivals here over one-hundred and fifteen years ago, the Jesus People outpouring, the Rodney Howard-Browne phenomenon, the Toronto Blessing, the Smithton Outpouring,  and in other moves of God. (We had real connections in one way or another to all these.) I cannot go into all this now, however much I would like to.

 

But what we are involved with now started ostensibly in 1999 in a small Methodist church in the metro area. Some great things happened there and many churches were affected. All Nations Fellowship in its present form was born. We have carried on outpouring/intercessory worship meetings since around 2000.

 

But God was not into letting us remain the same. As time passed, we found something amazing happening. The Saturday night intercessory worship meeting, which had been quite intercessory and quite prophetic and quite involved with missions, moved into an area where one of the central things20God was doing was bringing revelation in the form of teaching.

 

The intercessory worship in the meetings moved us into a place where the teaching for that week would flow. Perhaps, this was happening to some degree for a good bit of the journey and finally we were seeing what was happening. Whatever the case, we began to be moved to get out to the world audios of teaching in the meetings. Most of the teachings on our audios site ( www.AllNations.Podomatic.com ) are live recordings of that teaching that flows from the intercessory worship (1 ½ to 2 hours of worship usually). The audios have been downloaded in many countries , not just in the U.S. and Europe but also in the Middle East, Iran and others, and in the Far East. Also, I am currently writing an online serial novel (www.RanLives.com) into which these ideas of the Kingdom find their way. The main character is a revivalist and a scholar (as Whitefield certainly was). 

 

In other words, revival is a transforming thing—it transforms people and it itself is transformed. We do not at all intend to stop having outpouring/intercessory worship meetings . No, they are at the heart of what God is doing. What we do flows from them. But as we move along following Him, we find revival moving out into the world in ways we had not envisioned in our own limited sight. We all get to use God’s sight if we dare. What a great adventure we are all on.  Now and again we will be letting you all on Revival Fire know of some of the things that come along in the meetings.

 

 

Thank You for “Echoes of Heaven” at FCC

Submitted by Ingrid Rice (ingrid.rice@att.net)

 

What an Amazing time of worship at Family Christian Center! The words of the song were “dancing on the grave”, at first, it was strange to me.  But then it opened up to my heart that we are allowed to dance on the graves and the dead will rise, while I was dancing I felt so saturated with God, full. I knew my body contained God’s presence, and his power was raising the dead dry bones. I experienced such joy; it was hard to hold back the laughter.  All the striving is over; it is all done in such joy and peace.

 

After the speaker Martin Scott prayer for me, again the joy and freedom welled up in me. I laughed so hard, The Father letting me experience His goodness, I laughed so hard I know it changed me. People pleasing does not discourage me, I am free. It tried to make me feel bad, about how I was acting (rolling about laughing nothing distinguished about it) but that made me laugh even more. It feels so good to be free.

 

I know God’s Goodness even more. Thank you, faithful Church body, for creating such a safe place to experience the extravagance of God!
