Revival Blog

As I bloged about earlier, I was invited to speak at the home group of some of the young men I disciple. They have a meeting at 10 p.m. in their garage and the expect God to show up every time.

The turnout was around 25 people all aged between 17 and 20.  About a third were completely unchurched.  Some were only churched.  And others were saved.

When I was preparing for the meeting, the Lord showed me an angel of deliverance that would be there.  If that makes you scratch you head it did the same for me. I mean, what are you supposed to do with that information? I can’t preach it since it is not explicitly in the Bible but I can’t act like I did not see it. Either way I had decided to preach Rev 1:18.

The key here is that Jesus has the keys to unlock us from bondage.  Most people are afraid to preach to unsaved young people.  I am not.  To me, there is nothing more exciting to me than a room full of unsaved thugs.     These people deal with the pains of life trying to act hard.  The Holy Ghost shows up and shows them who’s in charge every time.

So I read the Scripture then did a complete old testament survey 101 presentation starting with Adam, through the history of the jews into NT101 through the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus up to his visitation of John.

I then went into Romans 6 and preached the death with Jesus.  I told them that if they give their life to Jesus that He would set them free from the things that control their lives.  I knew deliverance was at hand.

I had a real altar call in that living room and about a dozen of them came forward and kneeled to receive the Lord.  Great right?  Well, apparently that was not enough because then I declared that we were going to have a water baptism.

So last night I had a Holy Ghost water baptism.  (That is the kind that takes longer than 15 seconds per person. Don’t tell anyone, but some got more than one dunk.)

About 10 people were buried with Him (Rom 6:4)  last night in a glorious but cold pool.
