Snap, Crackle, Pop! Here's to 6 months in Poland!

Things are beginning to snap, crackle, pop as I head into my 6th month of being in Poland. For three months, I have been praying hard, and working hard for the church in Warsaw. Let me tell you, they are worth it! They are great people, with huge hearts, and worthy of all I can pour out. I have seen a lot of changes, and have seen the standard being raised in this church. Because the standard is being raised higher, God's presence is increasing. The Friday night services are going deeper, and God's presence is showing up stronger. Pastor Marcin's messages are getting more pointed, and he is stirring up his congregation through his sermons. Last Saturday we had another leaders meeting, and it was one of the best services I had been in. This was a meeting that had pastors from all over Poland attend, and we celebrated a graduation of their school of ministry. There was so much freedom and life, that is caused a breakthrough. The last session we had was like no other. Pastor Marcin called people up for prayer, and the fire of God broke out amongst the people. Leaders were touched, and encouraged. People were opening up, and receiving in a new way. I prayed along side of Marta Wróbel, and the two of us praying together were like a blowtorch. It got incredibly more powerful though when we stood near Pastor Marcin! God was really able to breakthrough, and it has started something in this church. Even on Sunday morning, you could feel something stirring, and the same thing happened again when Pastor Marcin called people forward for prayer. This is what I had been praying for, for three months.

My hope for a nationwide revival was struck! Not just a good idea, or a passion in my heart. Hope has the power to change everything, so let everything change. Poland, to my knowledge has never had a true revival. I'm talking about on the level of the great awakenings that happened in America, the Welsh Revival, or even the Azusa Street Revival. Poland has had touches of a move of God, but has not been the hotbed for revival. A revival that can shut down bars, change politics, change whole societies, bring in the lost, and sweep over an entire country. England and America are known for such spiritual activity, and even Argentina and Canada have hosted great revivals. However, who of you (that are revival historians) can tell me about the great revival of Romania, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, or other Eastern European nations? I'm not saying that God has NEVER moved in these countries, but they have not been the hotbeds of revival.

This is my dream that these Eastern European nations get consumed with a real revival that cannot be stopped. I'm sorry, but I won't take no for an answer on this. "I can't," or "that's too big", do not fit the shoes of faith. If God has leaders that are willing to lead, willing to pastor a move of God, willing to birth it out in prayer, and the people are willing to carry it. All things are possible. There are people and there are pastors who are hungry and willing. Unfortunately, there are people and there are leaders who are not willing. For those who are willing not only to host it, but to carry it. They will be the history makers, and the ones to be remembered by future generations. To those who resisted it and refused, well, we will never know who they are. They're getting their reward now, and missing out on the one they could have had. So those of you who are praying for these churches in Poland, thank you. Thank you for taking time to be a history maker yourself. These countries desperately need a move of God, and I believe one is breaking out right here in Poland.

In other news, I'll be heading back down to my dear friends in Ciesyzn for two months. I leave Warsaw next Tuesday, and will be back to help push things even deeper. I'll have lots of updates for those of you who follow the blog, because I'm expecting great things to take place. Let Poland Arise!
