Contending for more & getting it

Over the past week, many different nationalities came together from a number of different Middle Eastern nations, in order to press into God and cry out for more of His Glory, more of His power and for the release of Christ's Kingdom in this region. We saw God's Glory manifest itself many times as we gathered to worship and contend corporately for breakthroughs in healing, the prophetic and the miraculous. Many had encounters with God that were unlike any before in their Christian lives. People were healed of a number of different things. Prophetic experiences were common.

In the coming weeks, I hope we will be able to post some of these testimonies as they are being retold and collected. I personally saw a measurable breakthrough in the realm of visions - in one meeting I had two different visions from the Lord which were of a clarity and length I don't remember experiencing before. I have continued to see words of knowledge coming while in public places - yesterday in a market for one of the employees and tonight in a restaurant for a Gulf Arab Muslim woman.

After these types of intensive days of corporate pursuit of God and His Kingdom, we get to see just what it is that God has imparted or released. We are all anxious to begin to 'unpack' the things that God has given us in these new 'grace packages'. May we be generous to give away and release with generosity whatever it is that God has graciously given.
