thoughts at 6 in the morning

I woke up extra early today. 6 am is the earliest I've simply woken up without plan for quite some time.
It's the jet lag from my trip to the UK. I'm okay with that actually, I always wanted to be a morning person. It's just a matter of maintaining this and going to bed at a decent hour. It would assist me a lot in shifting my life into the direction of where I want it to go (schedule wise).

I'm glad to be back here in Redding in some respects, but honestly I miss England A LOT! I really love the people at Buttershaw, I consider them good friends and I miss them so very much. I wish I was rich and could travel there often and/or fly some of them out to visit me here or in Hawaii.
I think I'm going to plan a trip with my mom there. I think she'd love to go to the UK and probably go see Scotland and Ireland. She's always wanted to go there.

Things are a buzz here at Bethel. Students arriving and leaving on their missions trips. Testimonies are in the works, people are a buzz about the work God is doing worldwide. I know my experience in England was incredible. I feel like we saw a measurable increase in breakthrough as did the churches there. I see the hint of revival popping up in pockets worldwide include Bradford...

It's a comin...

"And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions." ~ Joel 2:28

It's windy outside, somethings brewing, somethings coming. I feel like Holy Spirit "ru'ah" in Hebrew, which can also mean wind, is cooking up something and blowing across the earth. I'm very excited about the next few years. What is God going to do? The world is shifting, more people are becoming Christians everyday. They say in a matter of years 1/3 of China will be born again. That's almost a 1/2 billion people. How convenient that China is also going to become the worlds largest economy soon.

In class yesterday the Holy Spirit poured out in an amazing way. People were all over the place drenched in his gooey goodness. hahaha
This has happened a number of times, but this time more than 80-90% of the class was fully engaged in what was happening.
Eric shared that he feels God is recalibrating our awareness and understanding of holiness, purity, and consecration. A quote Eric dropped is that "Holiness is not for the purpose of what we cannot do, it's for the purpose of what we can do." That's a deep one, worth pondering and thinking about. The scripture on his heart and that he feels is important for where we are at is

"For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."> ~ 1 Cor. 6:20

I'm excited. We'll see what blows in today...
