Is your walk a little stale? Here are a couple ideas I had to kick start the dry ground.
1. Work with the new believers in your church. This assumes that there are new believers in your church. You can’t help but get excited about God when you watch new believers discover the wonders of their Father and begin to bring their friends and family.
2. Work with the youth. Most of the time, the youth have not been taught that we secretly wink when we talk about miracles for today. When you pray for someone to be healed around the youth, they actually believe that when you are done praying, the person will be healed.
3. Begin a class titled “Miracles are for Today.” You will pray and fast leading up to each class in the hopes that God will show up (He will).
4. Begin witnessing to the people you know you should be witnessing to. God wants them saved and will refresh your dry walk as you talk about the beauty of salvation.
5. Begin reading a new version of the Bible. I just switched to the ESV. The greatest benefit? I can’t skim through the same words I always read. The bible is new again.
6. You know the guy in church that has sat in the same seat for 5 years? Get to church before him and sit in his seat. If for no other reason it will make going to church exciting.
7. Pray in tongues loudly while grocery shopping or walking through the mall. OK, I admit this may not kick start your walk again but I just find it plain fun!
8. Answer the next altar call no matter what it is for. While there tell the altar worker that your are not leaving the altar until God touches you.

Ok, so here is the deal. A couple months ago I was preparing to move into full time ministry. My job ended, we put our house on the market and told the youth we were leaving. Around the same time God gave me an idea for a web business.
That was almost four months ago.
Since that time I have preached my “last message” a half dozen times. The house is no closer to being sold. My ministry has flourished like never before and my web business exploded. Here is an example:
These are the webstats of one site I build in the last six months (click for larger view). I have seen a small discipleship group that I started for a few teen boys grow into a Friday night revival service attended by 20 or so, and I have seen the youth that I disciple begin to really be used by God to win their friends to Christ, minister under the power of the Holy Ghost, choose righteousness and be a light to their circle of influence. I have had no less than three of them ask me what to do when their job is threatened because of their winning coworkers to Christ.
This is all great. I find it extremely fulfilling but my mortgage company does not. Same is true of the electric company, the homeowners association, Chrysler financial, student loans, well, you get the point.
So I have been lax in posting here because I have been consumed with my online business and ministry.
There is lots going on and much to report. I try to skim all of your blogs and even rarely post a comment.
Please continue to pray that something will happen soon to bring some sense of stability.

I got this from here
Plans are being finalized for an upcoming conference at Yale University that is meant to equip Christian leaders for revival across college campuses. Collegiate Impact, a ministry of Life Action Ministries, is planning the weeklong event in June, titled “The Institute of Campus Revival and Awakening.”
This summer’s Institute will mark the second year the event has been held at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut. As Collegiate Impact founder and director Dave Warn notes, the distinguished Ivy League school was a flashpoint of religious revival early in American history.
“Yale is the epicenter of the campus aspect of America’s second Great Awakening,” Warn points out. “About 200 years ago,” he explains, “God moved mightily a number of times at Yale University, and that we could be on location at the campus where God moved so powerfully years ago is just very meaningful to us.”
The Institute is designed for full-time leaders of denominational and parachurch campus ministries. Warn says those on the front lines of campus ministry need training and encouragement, and his group believes the purpose of the Institute is “to help ignite this next great move of God as well as prepare people for what’s coming.”
The Collegiate Impact spokesman says his organization believes another revival is imminent on the college campuses of America. “And when God does move,” he asserts, “we will be equipped to sustain this transformational move of God.”
The Institute of Campus Revival and Awakening will be held June 20-27 on the Yale University campus. The event is limited to 100 participants.

I attend a big AG church.
This weekend I was out of town and attend a Really big AG church but with only a big congregation. The preacher was very polished and touched all the AG points.
But how I cry out for less polish, and more presence.

I think the evangelists around here might appreciate this.
I attend a mainline Pentecostal church. It’s a good church but not ultra charismatic.
I have managed to teach a Friday night class to any young people that will attend called “Dunamis.” I get from a handful to 20+ people age 14-23 who are interested in moving in the supernatural. This last week I taught on the 5 step healing prayer model. Last week I taught how to conduct altar ministry.
Normally in the class I will teach for half the time then the second half we will pray until something happens. Normally after teaching about healing ministry the teacher calls up the sick to be prayed for healing. But I felt otherwise. I had everyone pray until I felt breakthrough. Then I declared that God was going to release visions in the next three minutes. After the three minutes I stopped the prayer and had three of the youth to share their visions.
The first girl said that she saw all of her friends in school that were going to hell.
The second girl said that she saw a window close. Immediately after she saw a hole open in the ground and a downward spiral that lead to a firey pit.
The third saw two groups of people. One under a black cloud and another in a sunny open field and he had the impression that he needed to move those under the cloud into the open field.
We prayed for a few minutes and several more had similar visions, one even describing the throne room as reported by John complete with the four creatures. Most of these kids are unchurched so he did not know what he was describing.
Anyway, What I thought was interesting (other than this all) was the fact that in the class I taught about how Jesus did not demand worship before healing but that people were healed and then saved.
After being taught about praying for the sick, these young people heard straight from the Spirit of God about the Father’s heart for the lost! He definitely was connecting signs with salvation!
