God is not that hard to persuade

God will disrupt perfection to restore passion..

Why does God use people with questionable lifestyles to move in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit? I don't know and i don't bother to major on why and how God can use someone with questionable lifestyles and practices. If God moves, the glory of God breaks out, miracles happen, i love it and i will just enjoy it.

Gold dust appear all over the place? Feathers fall from the sky?
The first thought that comes to my mind is "what is the purpose for all these phenomenon?" But i have decided not to find the spiritual reasoning for things happening. God is God, He can do whatever He wants. If the King of Glory is in the house, He wants to throw some gold around the place, i will gladly enjoy His presence. People are getting healed, delivered, saved. Creative miracles are happening, the dead is raised. I will major on the major and minor on the minor. If He is doing it, i will like it.

Lazarus was sick, Jesus delayed coming for 2 days. When He came, Martha said "If you are here, my brother would not have died.." Jesus said "He will live again." Martha said "I know he will live again in the resurrection at the last days." Martha was absolutely theologically accurate, she got her spiritual reasoning correct, the dead will rise again at the end of the age but she did not grab at the rhema word from the Lord.

Let's ask for more and expect to receive more. Don't let our minds limit what God can do. Position ourselves to receive more, God is not that hard to persuade.

The Spirit of God moved in a powerful way that we have never experienced before last year when Jill Austin came. Did it start then? Nope..

Did it all started when Heidi Baker came and left such a love for people in our hearts? Nope..

We had arguably the most powerful camp in 2005 when Pat Schatzline and Jayme Montera came. I have never seen someone with such an amazing anointing upon their lives like Ps Pat and Ps Jayme before then. But still it did not start there.

Did it start when Bonnke came for the first Fire Conference in 2002 and the fire of God fell in such a powerful way? Nope..

Did it all start at Enlisted Camp? Did it start in the early 90s when the Spirit of God moved in a powerful way in our church? Did it start when Rodney Howard Browne came to Singapore in the early 90s? Did it start with the Charismatic Renewal sparked off by 4 teenage boys? Did it all started when Ps Bailey came to Singapore in early 80s? What about Randy Clark at Toronto? It didn't start there either..

John Wimber in the 80s? Nope..

The Jesus People Movement in the 60s? It didn't start there either..

It didn't start with the Latter Rain Movement in 1948 either..

Billy Graham, Oral Roberts in the 40s? Nope..

In 1906, the Spirit of God fell in a building in Azusa Street as a group of people began to cry out to God, impacted almost the whole world and was called the greatest revival in history but it didn't start there as well..

In 1904, Spirit of God fell upon Wales as a young man by the name of Evan Roberts cried out "Bend me!" He wrote on national newsapers that revival is coming and hearts began to burn. But still it did not start there..

The fire that burns in us is the original flame from the Day of Pentecost 2000 years ago. It all started when the Holy Spirit's fire fell on the 120 in the Upper Room. It's the same fire and it's increasing in intensity, it's increasing in demands, it's increasing in impact.

What does more look like? I don't know. All i know is that there is more...
