Holy

It is really hard to choose what to write about for this blog, but I'm just going to do my best to let God have the reigns. What I feel that I am supposed to talk about is having a holy desperation for God. We just a read book about the Welsh revival that happened in 1904-1905, it was started by a bunch of uneducated young adults... A key player in this revival was a 26 year old coal miner. Could be a 20 whatever year old soccer player/coach/barista/ student/ you fill in the blank. But these kids were just hungry as all get out for more of God, they cried out for God to pour out His Spirit. The culture at the time that these kids cried out in was dark, their country and city was over run by all sorts of darkness and corruption. And when revival hit, it spread into every single sphere of society to the point where the prisons were absolutely emptied of all its prisoners.
I have only been here for two weeks, and there is too much to try to explain and describe all that I am learning and thinking about. But I am becoming increasingly aware of the ferocity of God's love, His all-consuming jealousy to be our hearts desire, and the incredible intimacy we were created for. I am also becoming increasingly aware that He is seeking those who are abandoned to His purposes. For those who hunger and thirst for Him and His righteousness, "for they will be satisfied." It's a promise.
Being here for these two weeks has wet my appetite at the potential I see all around me, we are a precious holy loved royal people who have all of heaven on their side to "let His will be done His kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven" with the promise from Jesus, that we would do greater works than He. (john 14:10ish). The potential all around me is almost unbearable for this earthen vessel to contain, actually it was meant to overflow with His presence so I guess thats normal:) We can and I'm realizing are responsible for what happens in our homes, cities, and countries, we can take ownership over them in prayer. I read a really good idea once, that there was a group who just prayed over articles they read in the newspaper taking ownership over what happens in their city like when God said to Joshua "Wherever the sole of you foot treads I will give to you"Joshua1:3
They have been talking to us about sharing testimony to what God has done in the past, because when we release what God has done it becomes prophecy to what He can do. And I want to claim that revival, that 26 year old uneducated coal miner along with his "unqualified" friends started a revival with hunger that only He could satisfy, let that testimony be our prophecy.
