Week six arrived in no time... It seemed crazy to me how quickly the weeks were passing. This was one of those weeks we thought would never get here. It was the week Lou Engle and Brian Kim spoke to us. We were all expectant and ready to hear what they had to teach us. That monday we all piled into the Fire and Fragrance tent and sat close together, waiting for Lou to enter. We were all so giddy and ready to fall more in love with Jesus. Then, Lou entered the tent, instantly two-hundred young people were on their feet, cheering, standing on chairs, clapping and jumping up and down. The deafening sound of our joined voices filled the small space. This was no special greeting, it was how we greeted all of our speakers, but somehow, that day I knew the atmosphere changed.
Before this adventure, I had no hope for revival in America. But during week six, God changed that. He restored the way I looked at America and gave me hope for the nation I thought was hopeless. Lou and Brian spoke about night and day prayer and worship and really knowing who we are in Christ. It is so important that we keep a constant atmosphere of prayer and worship all around us every day. Intersession is so important because the bottom line is that we are changing the atmosphere EVERY time we pray. God HEARS prayers. Heaven's angel armies are waiting to be sent out with every single word that crosses the lips of people everywhere. Prayer is powerful and when we know who we are and the power we really do have to change lives with the power of Christ living within us, think of how the world will change. "Revival is coming, Ekballo!! Ekballo is the word that Jesus used when he said pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers. He didn't use the normal word for send, he used the word Ekballo which is the same word he used when he said 'I cast out demons by the finger of God.' I Ekballo demons. When Jesus Ekballos demons, demons HAVE TO GO. How many of you know that when Jesus Ekballos laborers, laborers HAVE TO GO?!" Lou said. My heart stirred... Lou was right.... "It's time for war." I thought, "the enemy has messed with this girl long enough and now, now it's time to war."
Later that week we signed up for "Moravian Hours" where we each took one hour during the night that week to fast and pray. It was the first time I had ever sacrificed sleep to pray and war for something I believed in... Revival. "You pray and shockwaves hit the enemy, changing eternity. History belongs to the intercessor." -Lou. "Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven"-Matthew 18:18. At the end of that week, I knew who I was, I knew I was a world changer, I knew I was a nation shaker, I now knew that I could change the atmosphere.
