Fire Focused Churches : Detroit or Manitou Springs : Spirit-driven ministry
…my heart is bent on seeing Azusa/Brownsville/Toronto/Lakeland/Welsh Revival style churches launch all around the world…
The above picture gives you an idea of the prophetic process that we’re going through right now, but it honestly doesn’t do it justice. Imagine a puzzle with 5000 pieces, and 4000 of them yet to be placed.
This one is a bit closer:
We see in part, and the steps of a righteous man are ordered by God. So, we step, correct, redirect, step again, watch another puzzle piece appear and know that God is working through it all. Sometimes the addition of new puzzle pieces confirms what we believed it would look like, while other times we find ourselves surprised as the piece takes us in an entirely different direction. It all won’t make perfect sense until the last piece is placed by the hand of God.
As I teach on prophecy and living a revelation driven life, this type of process must be communicated well. It must be embraced if we are to fulfill our missions on the earth. We see, hear and discern spiritually.
I received another very interesting prophecy yesterday regarding our next step from someone who is incredibly accurate. As it has been for quite some time, Detroit is very, VERY much on our radar. I’m here for the 5th time, and both last night and this afternoon watched God work dramatically in people’s lives.
I am still also praying about the possibility of launching a ministry in Manitou Springs… however, apart from the RHOP team, I have had minimal response from others who are interested in a revival/prophecy/prayer driven ministry. I realize I may need to get out there prior to the increase of momentum, but I also need to evaluate on the front end (now) whether it’s appropriate and time to head back in that direction.
We’re still awaiting word about Amy’s possible job at a crisis pregnancy center here in Detroit, and the possibility of having a condo available to us a bit south of IHOPE has presented itself.
Of course, over time, both locations will have our full attention, but for now, the puzzle pieces have to continue to appear before we can commit in either direction.
As you know, my heart is bent on seeing Azusa/Brownsville/Toronto/Lakeland/Welsh Revival style churches launch all around the world. As we embrace a cross centered, Holy Spirit driven, prophecy heavy, encounter focused, Word founded church, God will manifest on a continual basis. We will tremble in our flesh as our spirits quake within.
I ministered in a church today that just came off of a 21 day fast, and another local church just called a 21 day fast. This is unusual, yet indicative of the desperation for God. We must see fire-focused churches in our nation increase by the thousands!
So, I’m undone, provoked and personally pressing into a greater prophetic place… if we are going to see the prevailing spirits and principalities over Detroit and Colorado Springs pushed back, we must advance with a deeply prophetic spirit of supernatural boldness.
The biblical norm of revival is coming to Colorado Springs. The biblical norm of revival is coming to Detroit. The questions now are exactly how and exactly when.
