We just had an amazing week equipping, empowering, and activating about 300 people to be revivalists – world changers and history makers. We taught them how to prophesy in a naturally supernaturally way, to heal people through the presence and power of Jesus, and to share the good news of great joy in the way we have encountered it ourselves.
Each day of the school, we encouraged the participants in the school to leak out God’s tangible manifest presence to the people around them at lunch or dinner. We had many reports of people being healed, encouraged through prophetic insights, and set free – some asked Jesus into their hearts for the first time!
While one group of the Revival Lifestyle School was coming back from lunch, they encountered a woman in a wheel chair. She was on her way to get an MRI because of the constant pain she had in her back, even though she had been through many surgeries. She told our revivalists in training that the doctors had installed metal rods in her back to stabilize her spine, but it had not helped – she was still so debilitated that she could not walk. After a short, simple prayer of declaring God’s goodness, the woman was so healed that she jumped out of the wheel chair and began jumping around exclaiming that she was healed. Her family finally pushed the empty wheel chair away as the woman walked behind them praising God.
Finally, at the end of the week, we did an “Encounter the Fire” service in which we had invited people who needed an encounter with God in healing breakthrough, hope, or restoration in their life. Many people were healed, encouraged through prophetic words and art, encountered God’s presence i a powerful way. We had about 15 people get saved that night, and about 30 people were baptized in response to what had happened that evening!
God wants each of us to have an encounter, so that we become an encounter, so that others can have an encounter. That is what being a revivalist is all about. Each one of us is destined to be a world changer as we live as revivalists every day, wherever we go, to whoever we meet!
