An Alliance for Revival

Happy Easter! I hope you had a wonderful Resurrection celebration yesterday with loved ones and new friends. Last week I had the opportunity to attend a conference with several amazing speakers who have covenanted together to bring about global transformation through the advancement of the Kingdom. These include Bill Johnson, Ché Ahn, Heidi & Rolland Baker, John Arnott, Georgian & Winnie Banov, and Randy Clark who are all part of the Revival Alliance. These are some of my heroes of the faith. Their exploits for the gospel are like a modern day continuation of the Book of Acts and they encourage and activate the Church to live the same way. If you are not familiar with these leaders, I would highly recommend getting to know them through their churches, resources, or conferences.

Up until a few years ago, I never heard of any of these people or ministries. Even though I grew up attending church, graduated from seminary, and even served in ministry as a pastor, I was unaware that the Holy Spirit was still moving in signs and wonders through normal Christians. Healing, prophecy, deliverance, and miracles are available for all believers! In fact, the Church is commanded to walk in this type of power and authority. There is more! May we have a hunger, humility, and desperation to seek it out.

"...how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11:13
