For some time now, we have been experiencing wave after wave
of the presence and glory of the Lord.
Along with these waves, we have seen the signs, wonders & miracles
that accompany His presence and the preaching of His word. We have seen things, heard things and
experienced things that have just blown us away at the Hope Center and
throughout Hampton Roads. It has been
the best wave of my entire life. But...in
June of this year we had an encounter with the Lord during a Saturday night
outpouring service. In that encounter He
spoke to us concerning the promises of Revival for this region and the fruit
that would come of it. He spoke to us
about His Glory sending people to the floor, about manifestations of His cloud
and that people would see and the Glory of the Lord being poured out on the
East Coast. I have felt a restlessness
in my spirit and a very strong stirring of preparation. Readiness to receive is our agenda right now!Let me explain better with a visual picture. Imagine with me
if you will being out in Hawaii or Australia, and you are out on the ocean and
you have been surfing on the best waves you have ever surfed on. I mean the most beautiful and intense waves
you ever dreamed of surfing on. And as you find yourself paddling back out to
where the waves are forming you run into other surfers who have been riding
many of these same waves. And you are
all telling your own "mega" stories of your exploits. And as you are talking, you notice
something. You notice that while you are
talking there are other waves beginning to come in. But because you have been so distracted by
talking about the waves you have literally just experienced and messing around
with the other surfers, you find yourself not in position to catch them. So you say to yourself one of two
things. One, you say "I'll catch
the next one" or two, "Hey guys this has been fun but I have got to
start paddling and get myself into position to catch the next set of waves that
are coming in".
New Waves Coming In
The restlessness and the stirring I have been feeling has
been just that. I believe that it is the heart of the Father for this region
right now. So many have been touched
this year and seen great things. But as
good as it has been, these waves have already crashed upon the shore and there
is a new set coming in. And what we must
do is start paddling again and position ourselves to catch and ride this new
set of waves that is coming in!
There is a fresh set of Glory coming into Hampton Roads
right now and I don't want to see anyone miss these waves. So gird up yourselves up and start paddling,
keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and His Glorious Presence. It is time like the prophet said, "To
strike the ground". As I am writing
this right I can feel His presence blowing in the room and I can hear the
Spirit saying, "It is time, it is time".
"It is time for to me to blow fresh and new in this region and upon this
ground. I have watered and prepared this
ground and now I will suddenly come in and fill the ground that I have prepared".
The Secret to enjoy the waves of His Glory is to continue to
position yourself for more.
