The Spirit of Zachaeus

I was recently reading the story of Zachaeus and I discovered the spirit of Zachaeus. In my Bible (the Message) it says Zachaeus desperately hungered to see Jesus. And I was just like Woah, it means he was so hungry to see Jesus that he was willing to be "unormal" by climbing a tree. He was willing to do anything to see Jesus. That's when I realized God doesn't shift heavens for some wimpy little prayer we throw up, he shifts heavens when we step out. He willing just pour out everything in His spirit when we are willing to totally sell out. And so I have five words for ya: SELL OUT OR GO HOME!

I've been changed

Last night I was listening to the banning liebscher message from freshwind. And it touched the first time I heard, but I don't know what happened, but God touched me I don't think I will ever be the same. He gave me the passion for the spirit of Zacheaus, which I will talk about later. But I just wanted to tell you guys. It's weird there's something inside I can feel burning, literally,always. I mean I can really feel it.

Redefining Untouchable

So today I went back to school and recently I have had a real passion for my school. And I wasn't sure if it was from God or just because I was going back. So I talked to God about it and I was like why do i need to touch my school, one thing they are already Christains and a they're baptists. God simply said, "I called you to touch the untouchables". I still didn't understand, I mean sure they weren't sold out for God but they were still Christians, right. And God told that is why they are untouchable, because untouchable doesn't always mean the lowest of the low. It means the ones "normal" Christians aren't willing to go after. I finally understood, I was called to touch not only the low but the "unreachable".

Are You a Finney

Recently I was listening to A Bill Johnson teaching and I heard a very interesting story. It was the story of Charles Finney, He was a revivalist back in the 1800s. He was so in touch with the Father that once he walked into a factory and didn't say a word. And nearly instantly people in the factory fell to their knees and started to cry out to God. Another story was he would ride in a train and as he passed through a city people again would just be touched by God without him doing a thing. Also Finney wasn't a tv evangelist. He didn't have his own tv show, he was just an unlikely firestarter. It just so insane to imagine what would happen when he was trying. As I try to bring on the minor prophet mentality I see how Charles Finney fits into it. I want to be a modern Finney. And the question I pose to you is, is your walk leading you to be part of the Finney movement?

Unlikely Firestarters

Recently I've been reading up on the history of revivals, and i've noticed how unlikely these people were. You know it wasn't the guys wearing suits on television starting these revivals far from many times it was teh outcasts or the nobodies who started these incredible moves of God. The English revival of the 1600s was started by these monks who lived in this little backwater village. These monks saw how Christianity had deteroited and so these 60 or so monks started to pray, their prayers did not stop for 112 year. They prayed non-stop for 112 years. During this time healings happened and tongues were rediscovered, all because they wanted to pray. Then there is the Asbury revival 1970. It was this liitle college and one day they went to chapel not expecting much more than their little 50 minutes fo "Jesus time", but god had a different idea. The heavens literally opened on this chapel and the chapel lasted for 185 hours. It's insane, I mean can't even imagine something so radical just happening. The Jesus movement of the 70s was also just crazy. When I think of hippies I think of long hair, free love, pot smoking hippies, but there was another side to the hippie movement. Because these people just came in and sat on the floor during church they started one of the most radical movements of the last 50 years. They were just insane, sold out for God christians. When I think of the revival I know is coming I think who going to start this brushfire, is it going be one of us?

The Art of Being Number Zero

In medicine, patient zero is a term that refers to the person who first contracts an infection, virus, or disease. Now that patient zero is infected all those around them almost immediately be become infected. This is how a epidemic starts. Now what if that term was instead revivalist zero. This means this person been "infected" with a yearning and passion for God. And because this person is so contagious all those around just can't helpe but be "infected" too. Suddenly this infection of Christ spreads like fire and we have the power to take not only cities and state, but countries. We can finally start living out what the church was meant to be, to show the world the most powerful move of God this world has ever seen. And remember once you're infected there is no cure.
