A MOVE OF GOD?
15th May 2024
Over recent days I have been hearing of many significant things happening around the world, that are exciting, and are pointing to a new move of God.
Pete Grieg of 24/7 Prayer, posted on his FB profile a piece he entitled, “Something wonderful seems to be stirring…..” His snapshot No.1 is about a church in Hackney. It so happens that our grandson is on staff there and one of the worship leaders. He spent a day with us last week telling us of what he is experiencing, and how 1000 folk had stayed up all night to pray and seek God.
Another day last week a friend called to tell how 10 folk had come to faith in the church he is part of. He told me that the way these folk had come out to the front to receive Jesus was new, and their commitment was more “full on” than he had seen for a long time.
In Pete Grieg’s article he reports that recently thousands have gathered to hear the gospel in Trafalgar Square, Many healed and saved. And at St. Aldgate’s Church in Oxford, “So many young people give their lives to Christ they lose count.”
It was also reported that over Easter, 12,000 were baptised in France, one of the most secular nations on earth. Also, Russell Brand has been baptised by Bear Grylls.
Longing for revival, and seeking to be part of moves of God has been part of my life for a very long time. We were baptised in the Spirit at the beginning of the Charismatic movement in this country, we experienced very powerful and anointed times while working with Colin Urquhart. We have received prophetic words concerning revival and powerful moves of God.
Yet, in the past twenty years or so we have grieved as we have seen coldness and apathy overwhelm so many churches and believers. So what is happening now to a new generation of young people is thrilling, and we want to be at the centre of what God is doing in our day.
Let us start crying out to God at this time for a “Move of God” that will transform our nation, as it says in Psalm 85:6, “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?”
