Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. It’s raining and cool today and a short visit on the front porch was just what my heart needed. This time of year I begin to long to be outside at sunrise and the “cloud” of wintertime begins to take its toll. I cling to the fact that one day soon the Lord will lift any signs of Winter and Spring will officially take its place. That’s a promise I am confident I can stand on because I’ve seen it so many times before. But as surely as I long to see the Living God lift the signs of Winter, I long, even more, to see His Glory as He pours out His Spirit for all the world to see. Now that is a day I long for! But I don’t just talk about it like I do the weather, and I don’t just pray about it like so many do. I’m longing and I invite Him in the same way as Moses did when He said ““Please, show me Your glory”…and God did. I’m Believe in those things I haven’t even seen with my eyes yet because His Word says so. I am CONFIDENT I will see the glory of the Lord manifest in my Lifetime and that I’ll be an eye-witness to things I used to criticize and doubt. Isn’t that the way you look at the Last Days too?

Over 100 years ago revival broke out in a barn in California and it rocked the entire world when it did. When people heard about the revival (by way of the Los Angeles Times) they came from all over the world to witness in real-time what they’d only read about in the Bible. The glory of God showed up and the fire of the Holy Spirit could be seen coming off the roof of that barn. History tells us that the fire department was called to put out the fire on the roof of that old barn several times…but the fire department can’t put out the fire of God…man does that instead. Fifty years ago another revival broke out in another barn in South Carolina…and man snuffed it out over time too. Today, revival has broken in Asbury University in Kentucky for the second time in history, and there seems to be no end to what the glory of the Lord is doing on campus…until/unless man gets ahold of it, that is. Criticism and warnings are spitting out across the globe by people who have their own man-made opinion of what revival is supposed to look like because they don’t believe the Holy Spirit still shows up today the way it did during Pentecost. The Bible tells us to be aware of such people who “have a form of godliness but deny its power” so I don’t let the deceived impact what I believe…not anymore. Revival is here. He’s pouring out His Spirit. The glory of God will be seen by many and felt by all…and we’re going to see it in this old barn in Virginia.

If you don’t expect to see miracles, you won’t. If you don’t believe the Holy Spirit works through people in miraculous ways today, you won’t experience it for yourself. If you don’t expect to see revival, you won’t. If you don’t believe that the glory of God (Shekinah Glory) will ever be experienced by man again, you are going to be very surprised. Many things will lead up to “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess” and I have to believe part of that will be because of the ones who once doubted begin to see how wrong they were along for putting God in a box. I used to be one of them myself. I listened to the doctrine of man and denied the power of the Holy Spirit for today. I don’t care much about doctrine anymore, and I don’t listen to man when it comes to what the Bible really says about such things. Instead, I have the Last Word for the Last Days coming state from the Bible. I have the Ultimate Teacher of His Word through the Holy Spirit. And I already have a Spiritual Authority a whole lot Higher up than man. Because of these things, I no longer put God in a box. I believe in miracles. I am confident that I will see His Spirit poured out and I expect to see His Glory in my lifetime from an old horse barn in Virginia.

I’m praying for Revival but not in the way you might think I am. I’m not praying for it to begin…it’s already beginning just the His Word says it will. Why would I doubt and continue to pray for Revival when I already know it will come before the King returns? I’m not just praying and I’m not expecting God to do all the “heavy lifting”. I’m warning others. I’m preaching Truth. I’m celebrating what I don’t see. I’m praying with BELIEF and I’m reverently praying against the ones desperately trying to put out the fire just like man has done so many times before. I’m praying for the fire of God to be seen from the rooftops on and off the farm…so clearly that neighbors call the fire department! I’m INVITING the Holy Spirit in and I’m asking God to show us His Glory…and when He does…nothing about the old barn will ever be the same again. I’m waiting for the miraculous Hand of God and I’m already thanking Him before I ever see Him manifest His glory for me to see with my eyes.

How about you?
