I have rarely been as excited as I am right now about the way our church is going.
Quite regularly we have significantly powerful worship times, even when there are just a few people present. At Leaders' Cell tonight, for example, we had half a dozen or so people and we just sang 2 songs- from recordings. Then a prayer time that was so intense with the presence of the Holy Spirit. Awesome!!
There have been so many reports of people receiving dreams or visions from the Lord. I can tell as I hear the descriptions of the experience that these are supernatural events not just people going a bit weird.
People are meeting together in pairs to pray. Families are worshipping together regularly.
From time to time people stand up in church to testify about how they have experienced God's grace.
The strength of relationships in our fellowship is deepening. We have a more genuine love for one another than ever before, I think.
This isn't revival- far from it! It is clear, though, that God is renewing the church.
Of course as this is happening there is subtle undermining from the enemy.
Sometimes people get disappointed because this isn't happening the way they think it should. satan stirs others up to try and hijack God's programme, diverting the flow of energy and activity into things that God has not ordained for us to do.
We are not yet where we should be.
But we are closer than when we first began!
