A new hunger

We are certainly witnessing a new hunger for the things of the kingdom in recent days.  There is a fresh outpouring of God’s Spirit in so many places.  No doubt you’ve heard about the move in Asbury in Kentucky.  Perhaps it’s a little too early to put a ‘label’ on it however no matter what it is called, there is a fresh new hunger for His Presence. This is manifesting itself in so many young people turning to the Lord in worship, repentance, prayer and hunger for His Word. I’ve read this move has now spread to around 100 colleges or universities with similar effects in a generation which has been called the most depressed generation to ever live.

During the recent Celebrate Jesus conferences hosted by Healing Rooms Australia we too witnessed a greater hunger for His Presence in those attending.  Jesus said those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness will be filled (Matt 5:6).  Those who attended came to worship Him and press into His Presence.  They weren’t gathering for an ‘event’ and I believe that made a profound difference to the atmosphere in the meetings.  From the very first note of worship Holy Spirit’s presence was very evident which flowed over into the preaching and ministry times.  We are still receiving testimonies of so many who were powerfully touched but His Healing power.

I believe we are moving from gathering around a message or sermon (both of which are great and most worthwhile) to gathering around His Presence.  Jesus inhabits the praises of His people and in His Presence there is not only fullness of joy but perfect liberty.  When we worship Him in spirit and truth, I believe we create and environment or atmosphere where the impossible becomes possible and we will see more miracles, signs, wonders and those who have been in ‘captivity’ to sickness, disease, depression and addictions  being set free!

We witnessed not only so many physical healings, but powerful inner healing in so many who attended and simply pressed in to ‘touch the hem of His garment.’

We are so grateful to the Lord for His Presence in these meetings in 3 cities and we give Him all the glory and praise for the great things He did in so many lives!
