An Incredible week

Hi Everyone,
Wow, what an incredible last week we’ve had together. Last week’s time of prayer seemed to be the foretaste of what was to come with us ‘ending’ at 8.50pm on a Thursday night, toward the end of a long week! A Spirit-led, unrushed time of pursuing the Person of God as our prize. He is the place and source of all fruitfulness that will last into eternity.
And then, personally, a Saturday that the Spirit will always remind me of … I was watching a Bill Johnson DVD and he made a statement that the Holy Spirit has used to reach into the deepest recesses of me, ‘we need an anointing equal to the revelation we have received in order to see it demonstrated. A revelation is an invitation from God to encounter Him in order to be transformed and empowered to usher in His kingdom.’ (my paraphrase around Bill’s kernel of truth.) Think of that … it is profound! God has begun to show me how He has revealed much truth to me over the last year and how legitimate things have taken the edge of my prioritized personal pursuit of Him. I have no more excuses as He continues to ‘disturb’ the status quo in my life.
And then Sunday night … after a ‘good’ morning time together, the Lord had something special up His sleeve for us that evening. After a great time of worship and my message ‘The Anchor-man generation: co-labouring with the Holy Spirit’, there was a natural, unforced, worshipful response for nearly 45minutes. Scotty G got behind the mic with his guitar and slowly the hearts began to rise in love songs as we devoted ourselves to our Lover, Jesus. (I even made a return to the bass guitar after at least a years absence. The blister is proof of that.) Wow!!! Again, having to ‘kick people out’ at 9.10pm ‘cos we don’t have the freedom of a ‘home of our own’, yet!
Yes, God is moving and stirring our hearts for more of Him! Let’s continue to ‘press through the crowd’ as a people for more of Him!
Within this, Nick Davis recently had a sense from God that the Spirit was releasing ‘a wild hunger’ for the King and His kingdom in LCi, and that ‘God wants to hallmark (us) with wildness’! May we not reduce ‘wildness’ to rabid, mouth-foaming religious action that amounts to nothing more than a more weary Bride; rather, may this ‘wildness’ be undergirded and inspired by a desperate hunger for God , and as He responds and graciously draws us nearer to know Him more intimately, may God encounters fuel our living for Him in a world poised for the reality of the Kingdom coming!
From glory to glory, here’s to more of Him dwelling with us!(Eph2:22,3:19)
Much love,
Ryan
