What a 48 hours!

First of all a superb day on Friday at the Training College – watch this space!

Then a posting on my blog from my ‘atheist’ son Ben saying that he’d rather have an insane Father who ‘walks the walk’ than a hypocrite.

Then Saturday night…

Those who couldn’t be there you have just got to check out the welcome to, and dedication of, General Shaw Clifton at http://www1.salvationarmy.org/ihq/www_sa.nsf/vw-sublinks/12872CBCD8ED7F06802571470051E113?openDocument

If you haven’t got time to see the whole meeting (which would be a shame) then make sure you get part 3 and jump to 34 minutes in – if you’re really pushed for time then go to 42 minutes and pick up on the General’s vision. This is heavy, powerful, militant – absolutely DELIGHTFUL stuff! Be warned this is an Ezra moment!

Then jump to part 4 and catch the congregation singing all 7 verses of Boundless Salvation! Watch the General grab the flag and wave it over the congegation, this is Churchillian stuff - some people will hate it but who cares? - what it says to me is "Comrades I love the Army and this is God's moment for us"

However the best thing to do would be to see the whole thing parts 1 through 4 and then you’ll catch the Chief and Commissioner Helen too who were also quite exceptional.

With apologies to Shakespeare "Cry God for Shaw, The Salvation Army and St George * and let slip the dogs of war!"

Comrades I think we are in for a good few years – Hallelujah!

The revival is coming, the revival is coming!!! More corporate repentance, more fasting, more pragmatic holiness, more brokeness, more humility, more aggressive uncompromising Christianity and we'll be there! Send the fire!

Energetic love and urgent prayers

Andrew
