Journey of a Dream

Journey of a Dream.God planted me , sent me and equipped me for transformational revival.  Years ago the Lord planted a dream in my heart for transformational revival. I know we need reformation, but that cannot happen until the church is revived. Around 1975, Gorman Memorial in Orlando, starting praying and fasting intensely. A visiting evangelist came to Orlando for one reason, but God used him as a catalyst to spark revival. I saw Gorman triple or quadruple it size in to 2months. Although there were problems, God did visited the church. It was during this time that God placed a hunger in me for signs and wonders, church planting and revival. The Lord began to give me dreams about past men of God and their mantle falling upon young people. I began to have dreams about  the Apostle Paul. Many of these I never spoke about. During the time of the revival at Gorman God used me at Florida Manor Nursing Home kitchen to lead many to Christ through signs and wonders. I was only 18 or 19. The movement grow so large we filled the employees cafeteria. I was asked to take it someone else. We started meeting in homes, So many attended the bible study, the thought never entered my mind to start a church. Thank God I didn't. When I arrived back to Morehouse college for my sophomore  year I had a mighty visionary encounter with God which involved the Lord dethroning the prince over that area. When i stepped out of my room after that experience. People immediately received the baptism of the Holy Spirit when they prayed to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior. We met in Dansfort chapel every Friday night for all night prayer. We saw over 600 students impacted directed by this movement. Some major pastors in this city today was set afire during that visitation of the Holy Spirit. Many of these students are  professionals on the 7M, some are pastoring churches or leading   apostolic networks. At the pinnacle  of this revival, I gave what was not mine to give- the leadership of this movement to others who were much older than me. The biggest mistake of my life. I left Atlanta discouraged with my mind made up to never return. God spoke to me audibly to return after being gone for about six months. There were so many confirmations about me returning, even miraculous provision and on demand reinstatement and registration  back to Morehouse College. I had not filed for financial aid, but they gave it on the spot. I sit back wondering now, why was there so many maneuvers by God to get me back to Atlanta. With the leadership of Bishop Johnson we reinstated the campus outreach. It flourished, but not with revival proportions, but the fruit was great from the campuses. I spoke about the journey of dream in the inception of this note, I realize more than anything, that there has been a dream in my heart for Atlanta and the Southeastern US to experience transformational revival. This dream is greater than the manifestation of prophetic ministry, signs and wonders, etc. Now More than thirty years later, I am left with questions, why hasn't happen yet? Will it occur? Will it occur in my life time? Will our children be the instruments God use to bring this forth?  Where has the fiery passion  that was so much a part of my personality gone? I realized this week that I have not been myself for awhile, but I will not give into claws and tentacles discouragement. Just recently I shared with Bishop Johnson while I was praying about Atlanta, the Lord gave my a picture of a supersize dynamo sitting over Atlanta. I was wanted turbines of power to run , but they would not run. I was so undone because this powerful dynamo was sitting over Atlanta, but it would not run. Then the Lord began to tell me the reason why there has not been a move of God in Atlanta in the proportions that He wants to released1) Many leaders are being graciously transitioned off the scene because they were so caught in building their own kingdom or making a name for themselves with not concern  for His purpose. 2) There were leaders are being prepared to be launched from Adullums cave- no names 3) There were many wounded leaders whose hearts need to be healed- it was his grace and mercy to not bring them forth until their hearts were healed. A wounded heart draws the attack of the enemy. 4) Many leaders not majoring on what He is majoring on. He wants us to get on His page  5) Many are holding on to wineskins that can not hold the new wine that He wants to pour out upon Atlanta and other areas. The old wineskins are set to war against the new wineskins. 6) We have not stood for the injustices in our city regarding youth, family and marriage. 7) Covenent breaking 8) THE CHURCH IN ATLANTA WILL NOT PRAY NIGHT AND DAY LUKE 18. WE HAVE PRAYED FOR THINGS NOT ON HIS AGENDA. THE KEYS TO TURNING THE DYNAMOS OF POWER AND HIS GLORY OVER ATLANTA. THE CHURCH MUST MOBOLIZE ITSELF WITH RIGHT MOTIVES TO PRAY AND INTERCEDE: HOLINESS AND SANCTIFICATION, COMPASSION FOR THE LOST, SOUL WINNING, REMOVAL OF LETHARGY, RELEASE OF THE BAPTISM OF HOLY SPIRIT FIRE, MANIFESTATION OF SIGNS AND WONDERS. NEW LEVEL OF GLORY MANIFESTATIONS IN OUR LOCAL CHURCHES. We must hate religion the way Jesus hated it ( Matthew 23) The Lord spoke to me that they enemy is attempting to set of His government  in Atlanta through three religions and 3 organizations.  The mission of the church of Atlanta , if we will accept it, is to become conduits of the mighty power of the Holy Spirit with signs and wonders. Many who are going after false Christ, false religions and evil organizations will come to Christ once signs and wonders are released in our homes, jobs, eateries, etc. The message of repentance, the Cross of Jesus Christ and the power of the blood of Jesus will be key messages. Colleges and universities are going to fill the stadiums and streets because of revival. Now after saying this, I have come to a place in my life where I truly want what God wants in his timing. But i thirst and hunger for transformational revival. We must have it. I would be content just to pray for it. The prayer movement missed it because we worshipped prayer and were not devoted to His purpose and plan for the land. As Alistair Petrie said, we must face our Ninevah. Many leaders are have been like Jonah going in the opposite direction of God's purpose and plan. The raging storm of warfare will cease, when we begin to worship God with thanksgiving and submit to His plans and will. I did not attend to say all of this. Heaven has assembled itself over the southeastern portion of the US to bring one of the greatest revival the world has ever seen, the Lord is waiting our cooperation. Will it be through us or our children? I was born for this.
