Been Gone a while...

I have missed posting here for some time. I had some health issues the Lord had to help me get through... like double pneumonia and congestive  heart failure. But my time is not done here, and I still am called to trumpet the message of transforming revival, so I am back!!

My recent illness gave me cause to pause and think. Back in 1998 when I saw the first Transformations video, I stood before the pastors I had gathered there, and I said these words, "This, is something I could give my life for." Well, it was after a weekend of speaking on transforming revival that I ended up with the pneumonia and congestive heart failure, and you know, I would have felt it worthwhile to give my life for this cause. Not trying to be melodramatic at all, but I cannot think of anything more worth my life than proclaiming the power of God in transforming an entire community by His manifest Presence.

And since I am still here for a while... I will continue to do that. Even more encouraged every day as I hear of what God continues to do around the world. Yet, deeply concerned about our own country here, and the Church in the West.

My concern comes from what are my own personal observations that we just really do not seem to be hungry enough, and desperate enough. I see so many evidences that we are very content, thank you very much, to investigate and debate, and talk about what we want God to do, but we in the West continue to be very happy with our own strength, and our own ideas.

When I see the amazing things that God is doing in and through the humble and "no-body's" in this world, my spirit cries out for someplace that would get on their knees and just seek Him until He comes.

Next time I want to share a couple more examples of what I am talking about.
In the meantime, I continue to gain strength, and determination... somewhere here in our country, there must be a community that is really, really, really desperate and ready....
