Thoughts on Antioch Trip
We just got back from Antioch, and it was an absolute blast.
There are so many facets to what God did on the trip, and I got a very new perspective on what it's like to lead a team on a firestorm trip and have the responsibility and the grace to extend the Kingdom and make decisions and empower people all in Holy Spirit's anointing. I went to new levels of leadership where I operated the ENTIRE time out of rest. I don't remember striving at all the whole trip. It was so fun for me speak Friday night at the service. It was effortless, and the word the Lord gave me was right on for the church. I spoke on turning the Desert into an Oasis specifically from Isaiah 35. There was a river of prophetic insight for the church and region that came through me as I spoke, and also through the team. I didn't feel that I had to break anything open, but that it was already opened up in the heavens.
I felt the Lord promoted me to a new level of leadership and anointing during this trip, and I really feel like that more doors and opportunities are going to be opening up soon for me to speak other places. I realized again how much I absolutely love to speak. I was born to preach. I could do this regularly...speak and preach around different cities and states releasing revival.
The anointing to preach came on me, and I felt the authority in the Spirit to declare with boldness what God had given me. Holy Spirit moved on people as I spoke, and I even stopped a couple times to wait as God ministered to people. The Lord restored dreams that had been put on the back burner years ago...specifically 40 years ago for one person. A lot of the word that I released had to do with revival spreading to all of the Bay Area from that church...and I tied it in to the message of sonship. At one point I felt a song welling up in my spirit to sing over the congregation. It was Jason Upton's song "In Your Presence, All Fear is Gone."
We had numerous healings, both physical and inner. We also had something powerful happen with the women being released to release other women to be powerful in the Spirit. It felt really good to empower the women on the team to release and minister what God has given them.
