Revival Alliance I

It was such an honor to be invited to the leaders meeting before the actual meetings started. To be around such wonderful people, Heidi, Randy, Georgian, Che, and Bill... what an honor!

Georgian talked about sacrificial love. At one point, we need to start believing that it is really Christ in me, the hope of glory, and at the same time, Christ in you, the hope of glory. To release an agape love over our brothers and sisters we need to be able to see the Christ in people; willing to die for them, because they are willing to do the same for us. Heidi touched on this, she said she was willing to die for every one of us in the room, and that screwed me up... There's a dimension of this love that is SOOO radical... I was and am completely willing to give my life for one of the leaders, because they have given so much to me, but my logic couldn't make sense of it when Heidi said that she would be willing to die for me because of the love in her.

Heidi's original vision was to create a net (network) that would be able to support all the fish (harvest, new revivalists) that are going to be coming into the kingdom soon. She said that we should be carrying so much of Him that people would be running to Him, like carrying fresh bread (word) and wine (spirit), people will run to you to be fed.

Che was talking about the Lord's prayer, how we often extend it to deliverance and healing, and said it was about time to bring it to another level. There's no racism, abortion, systemic poverty, or homeless people in heaven; it's time to declare social change in the context of heaven on earth.

Bill talked about the perfect structure of romance and how the fathers in the earlier part of the century failed to pass on vision, anointing, and power to the next generation. Randy talked about how A.A. Allen had a great anointing, but he got scared and nervous when his sons began to succeed and people began to divert their attention to them instead of him. Because of the lack of honor, where powerful people empower each other instead of shutting each other down, the anointing on his life died with him, much like many of the past revivalists in the 1900s.

And then he talked about how honor releases life. Honor your father and mother... and you will have long life. Honor releases LIFE.

That was just the leaders meeting. Gotta chew on some words. I didn't even talk about easter weekend with Georgian, and John Crowder...

God...more! and help me see what I already have!
