"Fire and Love" Pt. 3

Hello everyone!
I havent blogged in a couple days but two evening services have passed. Wow! God is rocking us to the core.
Tuesday night I spoke on the mantle of Elijah and how that mantle has floated throughout history, waiting for a generation to pick it up -- a generation that will honor their parents and leaders that would give healthy succession of revival. I instructed the students to form into a fire tunnel and one by one, the pastors of the house took a teenager aside. Each would take the mantle and hold it close to their heart while receiving prayer and blessing from their pastor, and then the pastor would symbolically place a red mantle over them and send them into a fire tunnel of radical young people! It was incredible.
Yesterday morning I taught a session on the prophetic, and it was so beautiful! They were amazed to realize that God can and wants to speak to them. By the end of the session, many had given their first prophetic word as we had lined people up and asked Holy Spirit to speak about them!
Last night was a shift from the fiery services we've had to my favorite thing to speak about: the Love of God. I talked about love vs. fear and how God desires to draw us close to Him, but the fear of the devil tells us we need to stay at a distance. But the fear of the Lord draws as close, not keeps us far! We had an altar call for salvation, and then we prayed for 4 specific areas over the course of about and hour: healing from broken families, seeking fulfillment in relationships, depression, and insecurity. Each call I had young people raise their hands and become surrounded with people who would pray for the love of God to invade and heal. Seeking God's face continued even after the band stopped playing!
It's been quite an amazing week! This has been personally stretching for me as I've never spoken this often in this short amount of time, but there is a grace for it. I'm feeling really tired today but my spirit is anticipating God yet again kissing us with His presence. I really feel like I'm coming back to Ohio a different person!
Love each of you and miss you terribly. MO is wonderful but there is no place like home where YOU are!
