\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Ninety-eight of us, from seven different countries, gathered for Global Awakening\u2019s initial impartation on the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 4 at the Hotel San Diego Suites in Belo Horizonte.\u00a0 During the next five days, we would spread out in groups (large and small) with the intention of impacting Brazil for the Kingdom of God.\u00a0 The leadership focused on three different Baptist churches, ranging in size from 500 to 1,300 people.\u00a0 Randy Clark, Rodney Hogue, Blaine Cook, Justin Allen, and Marcus Dygert stirred us up with messages about the healing power of Jesus, the declaration that the Kingdom of God is here, and the way to spiritual freedom through deliverance. During the week 23,000 people were in attendance at these revival meetings.\u00a0 The Lord blessed the team by allowing us to witness a total of 3,000 healings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0It was a thrilling week, in which each of us was used by Father God to bring healing and impartation to these special Brazilian people. Throughout the week, team members interacted with each other in equally divine ways, praying and prophesying over each as the Spirit directed.\u00a0 The Global Awakening leadership wrapped the week up with an impartation event, during which the Holy Spirit fell on us powerfully, sealing each of us with gifts from the Father that, now, we urgently desire to share in our communities.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Three of my personal experiences (which are representative of what does happen on these trips) are as follows:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (1)\u00a0 A sixty-year-old woman, scheduled to have eye surgery the following week because she had a blind left eye for the last 50 years, received complete vision and was overjoyed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (2) A 19-year-old paraplegic girl (Jennifer) was prayed over two different nights by team members, in which we asked Holy Spirit for restoration to her legs.\u00a0 We yearned for her to get up and walk.\u00a0 The Lord did not do that healing in my presence.\u00a0 But she received three things far more important than ambulation:\u00a0 Jennifer was given a download of the Father\u2019s Love, and the challenge to proceed with God\u2019s authority for healing of her body. Also she learned the importance of reading and declaring the Word.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (3) Following Randy\u2019s message on impartation, I, along with the rest of the team, climbed through the crowd, row by row up into the \u201cbleachers\u201d imparting God\u2019s Love and Power to any person who was being visibly touched by the Holy Spirit. As the Spirit activated each of the 40 or more people I prayed for over just 20 minutes, I saw a wave of spiritual anointing flowing around us.\u00a0 This same wave swept the whole sanctuary through the hands and hearts of the team. A team member described these movements of the Spirit as \u201crocket fuel on steroids.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Team members used certain phrases to describe this week in their lives:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt was like a pickle factory: I came in as a cucumber and left as a pickle, marinated and changed forever by the Holy Spirit\u2019s power and love.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThe experiences were like being in a sandbox, playing with the Holy Spirit. God said I could take risks, and see His power shape lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI grew in knowing that I was not anything more than a mere man, no different from anyone else, but I served a Great God who worked miracles through me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI learned to impart the \u2018velvet brick\u2019 \u2014 the Presence, Power and Compassion of God \u2014 to His beloved people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI experienced more healings through my hands in one night than I have done in the five years since I was converted.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI experienced God\u2019s glory taking form in me, to bless others.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The name of our city is Belo Horizonte<\/em>, which means Beautiful Horizon.\u00a0 We would all agree that we looked straight ahead to the horizon and saw the glory of God.\u00a0 During that week, heaven touched earth.\u00a0 The heavens opened up and we were given access to the resources of the Kingdom of God.\u00a0 The Lord had positioned us to bring Jesus\u2019 Kingdom down to Belo <\/em>Horizonte by our kicking off people\u2019s diseases, demons, and despair. And we all participated in exchanging the old for the newly-claimed redeeming power and love of Jesus.
