Live from the Florida Revival:

Kristy and I (& Maverick) just got back to our hotel from the Florida Revival with Todd Bentley. Tonight (as many of you may have watched on God Television) was resurrection night. Tonight God was very present and the fifteenth person was raised from the dead since the revival began. This is an outpouring that is spreading! What did we take away from the meeting tonight. Spiritually more than I can comprehend or explain. I am very thankful for being here and glad that we came. I did realize a few things that are very important. This is about the supernatural and hunger.
HUNGER- 1st we found that people are more hungry and expectant. Thousands showed up early to get a front seat. They show up to have an hour of prayer. Then we had over two hours of worship then three hours of the prophetic ministry, testimonies, and prayer. There were some (like any meeting) who left early but most stayed until the end. As the meeting progressed the impact increased. I find the same hunger among many in our own congregation, but not the same expectancy. For this reason I am asking everyone who is hungry to begin to prepare now for next Sunday night. We will gather together for an outpouring of the Spirit to all those who are hungry.
OUTPOURING– There is definitely an outpouring happening here. Is it unique to here? Well, I am not sure. There is something very unique about what is happening here, but the outpouring is the same everywhere. I feel the same outpouring in our meetings, but the intensity is usually less. There does seem to be an open heaven, but I know we can have the same intensity if we choose to operate in it. We all must ask how far do we want to go, how much do we want and what are we willing to invest to receive it? These are important questions and very necessary to ask ourselves. These are things the local church here had to ask when they began to intercede for a move of God. Tonight, Todd made a very important statement, “this is not a miracle crusade, it is an outpouring.” This really rang true to me. When you have an outpouring of the Spirit, you can expect the miraculous to follow. Signs follow an outpouring of the Spirit. This is an outpouring and it is happening all over the world. It is spreading like fire. We are excited to bring home some fire and intensity of the Spirit. I am asking for those who are hungry to start fasting and praying now. You might ask why should we wait for Sunday night, why not Sunday morning? The answer is: God can do what God wants to do any time with us. I do believe that Sunday morning is full of people who may or may not be hungry. This is why I am asking for us to set a special time for those who are hungry to go out of their way to invest in a move of the Lord. If you are hungry let’s get ready for a move of God.
PREPARATION HAS ALREADY BEGUN– God began preparing us months ago. We have been moving FORWARD into KINGDOM living. God is wanting to prepare His bride for the final display of His glory. It is not one place or one man. God is definitely beginning an outpouring and it includes all who what it. Healing has been happening in small instances in our church and last Sunday was just one example. Many accepted God on Sunday as their savior, but I didn’t know until I arrived here that Marianne Barkley was healed miraculously Sunday morning. I encourage you to go to the testimony page and check out her testimony she just sent in.
IMPARTATION– We are here because we want all God has for us as His body. Tonight we were prayed for personally by Todd Bentley for an impartation of anointing. I am thankful for his graciousness. Kristy and I want all we can get. I came here with one prayer, “God we want all you have for us.” I ask that you would have that as your prayer also. We don’t want any more or any less than God’s best for us.
BEGIN NOW- Once again we encourage you to begin right now to pray for an outpouring without limitations. We are excited to come home already. I am thankful for what God is doing here but I am expectant for what He will do in our outpouring.
Ready or not!!!!! Pastor Aaron and Kristy

FAMILY TRAVEL NEWS: Maverick is doing great. He did great on the plane and he did great in the service tonight. He really loves church! He slept through almost the whole thing. We have ran into some pastors that we know from home. It is good to know that there is family where ever you go. We are also very excited for Friday when we are going to meet up with Leann and Randy Rawlins. They are a couple who used to go to our church and was saved in Crossfire and delivered from drugs. They now serve the Lord here in Florida.
