Firstly, have you heard about the Florida Outpouring? If you haven't, what rock have you been under!!! Check out this website www.freshfire.ca, Todd Bentley and his friends have found themselves at the centre of a massive revival! God TV have been broadcasting it every day, so check them out at www.god.tv
Anyway, I can't afford to fly to Florida, but fortunately, the outpouring is really kicking off in Dudley, so Dan, Big Matt and me headed down. Awesome! All in all, about 1200 people were packed into this conference centre because the church it came from was just too small. People were being well and truly being healed, people started walking, healed of arthritis, diabetes, bi-polar ... the list goes on and on!
Matt had a revelation of his own, a confirmation of direction in his life. I remember looking over and he was surrounded by people that he'd prayed for who were just chillin with God. I love Matt, he's awesome.
Trevor, the pastor at the Dudley Revival (www.revivalfires.org.uk) had just got back from Florida, and yes, the healings that followed were miraculous. More importantly than that, he brought the anointing oil back with him from Florida, and anointed EVERYONE (Yes, 1,200 people) with it. POWER.
Ok, so we got back around 5am Sunday morning, a good time had by all.
Sunday morning, a guy called Grant Smith was preaching at Kingsland Lexden, Grant is part of a charity called Hand in Hand (www.hihand.org). He was one of the best communicators I've heard this year. Top notch sermon about respecting each other whether the person in off the streets or a company director. Challenging concept, well delivered.
Sunday afternoon Dan and I went to Canterbury. An international speaker called Rob Rufus was preaching at Canterbury City Church (part of the new frontiers movement). An evening of good worship, then he spoke. Well. My goodness, a fantastic communicator, up there with the greats. A short sermon on shaking off religion, he didn't say through away your bibles, he encouraged you to experience God, and he turned up!
Rob is also part of the Florida Outpouring, as he travels around the globe he's bringing the healings, miracles, signs and wonders of Jesus with him.
After a brilliant meeting, and I'd prayed for a couple of people around me, I approached him and asked him if he would impart some of his anointing to me. In my mind, I thought that I'd stand there, feet shoulder-width apart, a good stance, he's not knocking me down, that doesn't happen to me. WRONG. After about 30 seconds, I was shaking all over, then I just collapsed like a heap lol! Jolts of electric surged through me, this, this was an awesome experience. God.
Well, after a while, I managed to pull myself up, and just felt God surging through me. There was a guy being prayed for, he was about 10 feet away, and I looked over and said to Dan, I want to pray for him, but there were about 6 people around him, and there was no way I could get in there. Dan said "push in", which is what I did.
Ok, this is where it gets good... My hand is lightly on his head, I just asked God to fill him with Fire - BAM, He's down! Away with the spirit! I'm thinking, hmmm, there really is something to this impartation stuff! So I go back to our little group, behind me a girl is being prayed for. One of our group said, "I think you should go pray for her" - 6 seconds, BAM - shes away!
This isn't about knocking people down, the impartation is about releasing the holy spirit into someones body. All glory to God, the reason I'm happy, is that God chose to use ME. And I'm SO HUNGRY FOR MORE!
In short, I am nothing, God is everything, God is Good.
AMEN!
