You never know what to expect when going to a revival that has had something different happen every night of the now 40+ continual day revival. I believe that is why we should be in an attitude of expectancy not putting God in any type of box. This was best said by my great friend and Pastor, Cory!

This was truly the case for me on Thursday. While worshiping God I had a real subdued attitude and began to weep. Here I have come from over two thousand miles away and I am crying! What is wrong with me? I am suppose to be screaming and shouting from the Joy from deep within me. Wow was I in for a shock. Right after having those thoughts Todd begins to describe how God has shown up tonight. He describes how God asked him if he wanted to see Him like Moses saw Him. Wow, just wow! About two months ago in our small group I made what I think was a bold statement by saying “I want to see the face of God”! I figured if Adam, Abraham, Moses and many others saw God - why not me. Through the reconciliation we have through Jesus I believe that it is more than possible to be in the presence of God just like all of these other guys. I believe that God is a relational God and he wants to have this relationship with us. I made a declaration and set out on a Quest to gain a relationship with God so great that I get to spend time with him Face to Face.

That quest has brought me all the way to Lakeland Florida to grow even more in my Intimacy with God. I believe this is what God is after in us, a relationship with us that is so deep that we will abandon everything that we may think is important to spend time with him. Intimacy with God is the most important thing we can have. Through this intimacy everything else will work out. Our relationships with others will be better, our work will be better and everything that we think is sooo important will be better when we first gain an intimate relationship with God.

God did several other things for me the rest of the night to confirm that he Loves me and has great plans and purposes for me. Wow, God is awesome.

I should also mention that at least 7 people have be raised from the dead since this Revival started. Yes that is right I said RAISED FROM THE DEAD! One of which was a 3 year old little girl that was pronounced dead on Monday night. There was no brain waves and her organs where allocated to someone that was suppose to be there on Tuesday. The parents began to make plans for the funeral on Tuesday. On Wednesday the girl coughed and woke up! SHE WAS DEAD AND NOW SHE IS NOT! Todd talked with the father on the phone during the meeting to confirm this! Right after this testimony there was another resurrection testimony as well as a lady healed of Parcensons and a lady that had metal rods in her back that prevented her from bending over. When God healed her last night she was able to bend over. Ha ha ha, don’t worry if you can’t get your head around that. Just know that God is a God of Love and He is the Master of the Universe!
