Glory!!!

God has been opening so many doors to pave the way for Ireland, but in my opinion the most exciting door has been the increase of His manifest presence in our lives!!! We had the opportunity to go check out the Lakeland Revival that is currently being led by Todd Bentley. Honestly I went with such high expectations for something tagged "revival" that I kind of thought I might be disappointed......but I was completely rocked by what I experienced there. The presence of the Lord was so thick and there was such a grace to press in and go deeper that it didn't really surprise me as people began to get healed during the service. But as testimony after testimony kept pouring in about what the Lord had been doing just that night it brought tears to my eyes. I was fortunate enough to be in the church all day Saturday praying and preparing my heart for that nights meeting, and as the time drew closer for the service there were literally hundreds of people lined up outside waiting for the doors to be unlocked!!! When they finally were unlocked the people literally RAN into the place looking desperately for seats near the front, I have never seen such enthusiasm about a service in my entire life!!! As the night continued on healing after healing and deliverance after deliverance kept happening, then Todd started praying for impartation of the revival and things really went crazy!!! Alan and I both had Todd pray for us and feel that we definitely received impartation to bring with us to Ireland!!! I have been in a lot of good meetings, but after the experience I had with the Lord that night I felt as though for the first time in my life I began to truly grasp what the Christian life was really supposed to look like, and what has been stored up for us by our Father!!!

The fruit of the experience is already evident in our lives, the very next day we started prophesying and praying for a couple (we had just met through a friend), in a Starbucks, and they were rocked!!! We have really had a grace to continue pressing into the glory of God, and have felt Him moving in public places which is very exciting!!! We long to go deeper in the glory of God and see it manifest in our lives and in Ireland, and we are contending for that. We want to see revival break out in Ireland, bigger than even what is going on in Lakeland, and we are going to give our lives to that pursuit!!! Thanks for reading and please be praying!!!

be blessed,
