In the summer of 1997
I experienced God in a way that forever changed me
The glory of God invaded our church on a Sunday
Evening at 6PM and the entire congregation of
About a thousand people fell on their faces
No one instructed them to or suggested they get on their faces
There was just no other appropriate response to
Take when the glory swept into the room
I remember crawling under the piano, being wrecked by God
When I finally got up on all fours, I looked at my
Watch in disbelief that it was now, that is now 11:30PM
Four and a half hours later - felt like twenty minutes
And my heart was completely shifted as I realized
There was more of God than I ever knew was available
This moment marked me
It was the high watermark of all that I'd ever experienced
It became the lens that I looked through to measure
Everything else I would ever know about the presence of God
My spirit knew immediately that everything changed
But it took my mind years to process what had
Happened and at times
I still search for words to adequately describe my encounter
And some twenty years later, I hear the voice of
God, speaking about a coming wave of His glory
There is a move of God unlike anything the world
Has ever seen and it's swiftly approaching
The Spirit of God is brooding over the face of the
Earth, waiting for a place to welcome and host what
He intends to do in the Earth
Many of our churches do not have the time in their
Services for the glory that's coming
But there is a generation of people, waking up with
An insatiable hunger for the more of God
They'll recklessly abandon everything they've
Known in their tidy-produced church services
The glory of Eden is breaking through
The original intent of fellowship with God and man restored
It's a place in His presence where few will dare to go
Who's with me?
I can't stay here anymore
