A Wave

Today I did something I never thought I would do. Not because I didn't want to, but it didn't seem plausible.
I spent 2 hours or so praying in the woods with 4 of my best friends.
We prayed for prophesies and words of wisdom, we prayed in praise and thanksgiving; we prayed for each other, encouraging each other with words from God and praying over struggles in our lives. It was like something I imagine the church in Acts doing.

This morning a lady in our church brought a picture right at the end of the meeting about a wave. How God was building and building the wave until it was massive, and then it crashed down... and when it crashed it covered a huge expanse.
Whilst we were praying in the woods God lead us to a stream/river thing. It was small but significant. There was a muddy little puddle running from the lake a few meters away to the stream, and the water trickled down in a microscopic waterfall. It wasn't pretty to look at, it was tiny and minute, but it was joining this incredible little stream that no doubt went on for many more miles than we could see. I feel that God is preparing us here in the South of England for a wave of salvation, just as was brought in church today; but its not going to come from big events and evangelistic preaching in the streets. It's going to come from humble prayers in the woods from his followers; the compassionate tears of the faithful in their rooms, for the lost, the desperate crying out and stepping out.
Lord help us to draw close to you. Help us to know you better. Send your wave of salvation Father, do not make us wait. We are thirsty. Save those who are lost, heal those who are hurting, redeem those who are captive, and restore those who are broken. Call up the freaks and weirdos, the losers and loners, the outcasts and the misfits. Call up the popular kids, the smart kids, the sporty kids. Send your wave.

Send your wave.
