Kona, Hawaii

Last week, I made a trip out to the YWAM base in Kona, Hawaii. It was a little bit of a homecoming for me, which I rather enjoyed. But as much as it was enjoyable for me, I once again saw the Lord doing a greater work in Hawaii, as with the rest of the world.

The Lord prompted a trip out to Kona on our hearts. We sought the Lord on timing and believing that He spoke, we decided to make the trip during the same days that our leader, Brian Brennt, would be teaching at a Discipleship Training School (DTS). Through Brian, the Lord did a mighty work, stirring up the hearts of students and instilling in them the need to not just love, but carry the culture of revival.

And with this message that Brian gave, we were led by the Lord to gather anyone and everyone who was willing to prioritize their time and seek the Lord. So for five nights straight, we gathered every night from 8:30 until around 1 or 2 in the morning.

It was so simple, so very simple. We gathered with two guitars, two djembes and a handful of people. We worshipped the Lord and prophesied the breakthrough that was coming. Then the Lord moved us into a time of praying for healing. From the first night, we saw a couple dozen healings. First an ankle, then a shoulder, then a back and it just would not stop. After that, we felt the Holy Spirit asking us to ask for a fresh baptism of faith and fire. And so, we did just that. People experienced deeper levels of the Holy Spirit then before. The Lord took us all into deeper levels of faith in the power of the Holy Spirit.

This went on, consecutively, for five nights straight. In a collection of about 8 days, we witnessed at least 50+ healings, a few dozen salvations. Signs, miracles, wonders! It CAN happen in America. It already is.



These meetings are still going on in Kona. The staff and students on base have taken up the responsibility as their own. The organization is primitive, the worship is raw, the message is simple. But that's how we know that the Lord is divinely intervening. It really is that simple. I also believe that these meetings are much more significant than we know.

One of the most important thing that the Lord is showing, as with the trip out to the YWAM base in Harrisburg, it that He truly is raising up the new breed. It is no longer for a search of one or two students who are sold out for revival, but it is now an entire generation calling out to the Father for mercy. It really is the new breed. There really is a new wave rising and an entire generation is on it.


REVIVAL IS HERE. LET'S GO.
