Another Revival Dream

In a dream I saw a great chess match taking place between God and Satan. God moved first and then Satan would countermove. Down below on earth, when God moved it resulted in life, salvation and deliverance. When Satan counter moved, it resulted in sin, destruction and death.

The chess board began to fade into a large television monitor. I looked closely and saw myself in the Spring Creek sanctuary praying alone. I was dressed in armor. Overhead dozens of demons flew around in a frenzied fury. They did not touch me but they were there swarming. Then in a concentrated rush they all attacked me. The deacons and their wives came in wearing armor and fighting the demons off me. Sherman and Tammy came in and began singing. When they started the singing the demons became helpless. They were defeated and fled.

I went to the front doors and looked outside. I saw dark storm clouds on one side with what seemed like millions of demons swarming overhead Spring Creek. The clouds grew darker and darker obscuring the light.  On the other side, the skies were clear and myriad of angels gathered to war with the demons. Tensions were high as a great battle was about to begin.

I went to the prayer room alone to cry out to God for messages. Parchment papers floated down from the ceiling. I took them and ate. They became like molten lava in my soul and felt like a volcano about to erupt. In the sanctuary, people began to gather. Many came in with shackles and chains looking tired and defeated. I came out to deliver the message and chains fell off people. They ran out rejoicing to tell others and bring them. We all celebrated with joyous worship led by the Atens.

The flames of revival spread. Far beyond Spring Creek. To other churches. To other states.

When the last person left I fell into bed exhausted. God ministered to me in my sleep. He awoke to pray and the whole scene repeated itself.

Outside the marquee read, "Revival Continues nightly."

That is the dream. I do not write this lightly. We are entering into war. I already feel it. The attacks have started. Prayer covering is needed for the Edwards and Atens. God is greater. I believe He has set Spring Creek in His crosshairs. He has targeted us for a special season. We have not earned it and we certainly do not deserve it. It is His sovereign choice. Like a train barreling down the tracks that you can hear from the distance, He is coming. He is coming powerfully and He means business. We have been preparing for 62 days. We have set aside the next 8 days for continued preparations.

I leave for time away at the prayer cabin after our worship gathering tomorrow morning. Lord willing I plan to return on Thursday in time for C.P.R. If the dvd comes in time, we are going to show a revival story called "An Appalachian Dawn," on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, we will not be able to broadcast this on Facebook live because of copyright laws.  On Saturday night June 20th, we are gathering for a Revival Rally at 7:00 p.m. in the Spring Creek sanctuary. We will worship, hear from God's word, and celebrate communion. Most importantly, we will pray.

The revival meetings start on June 21 at 11:00 a.m.  I have asked the deacons to open our first meeting with each of them praying. I will invite the congregation to the altar to pray afterward before we sing the first note of the first song. We will gather again that night at 6:00 p.m. The rest of the meetings will begin at 7:00 p.m. We have not scheduled an official ending date. God will choose that date when He has done what He wanted. We have not done a great deal of advertising. God will advertise for Himself when He moves powerfully in our midst. Come Lord come. We are waiting on You.

I remind you all. Revival is costly. God will require more praying than you have ever done. He will require reprioritizing of schedules. He will demand first place in everything. Do we really want Him to come and move in our midst? Do we truly desire for Him to have His will and His way in our lives, families, and church? Do we long for Him to move turning the hearts of the community and nation bac to Him? I hope you are getting ready. It will not be long now.
