Hey Gang,

Well, we just left the first session Tuesday night and I for one was blown away – 22,000 radical Jesus-followers in massive worship and praise!  Each year the conference plans for months for the opening number and first session. They did an awesome job.  From laser lights to a huge cross hanging from the ceiling, it was great.  The worship was loud and it was powerful.  It looked like every person in the room was participating in praise.

The sermon was given by an American from Oklahoma, Craig Groeschel.  Thousands stood during the invitation asking the Lord for more of  His Spirit and more of IT!  I stood with the rest of the radicals wanting more of the Lord to move through us.  At the end of the day it is all about Jesus and His power working through us.  Are you as red hot as you have ever been? Don’t loose IT. I want to walk under an open heaven and experience the fire of God.

I am asking the Lord to add a “double portion” to the anointing He has given me to this point. I am searching the Scripture to see how we can see God add IT!  This week I am seeking God for His presence and power to flow through me to set the captives free and to make His praise glorious. Pray for me that I taste a new fire from heaven here in the “Down Under, Mate.”

What would your life and ministry look like if God added to you a “double portion” that Elisha asked for? I think it would mean revival. One last thought – when the invitation was over, no one had left or moved out of their seats. The band cranked up for another worship song and still no one left.  It was about God and His presence. How I long to see that in church – packed before the service starts with electricity in the air and worship even after it was over. Only God! Let His Spirit move in us.

Just a thought and we are just getting started.
