Celebration News November 08
Dear Celebrators,
It is good to hear news of how many in Korea are prayerfully and sacrificially preparing to come back to Wales for Celebration for the Nations 09!
Below is a summary of something that Koh Hyung Won shared at the Celebration meeting in Korea recently. I think he captures the purity of the vision that the Lord is giving us!
1: The core of the Celebration is worship. It is a continual act of pouring perfume on Jesus.This worship is not about the revival that broke out 100 yrs ago, but it is to remember Jesus Christ and to anoint him in our endless praise and adoration.
- "Remember Jesus Christ"-Evan Roberts
- The fundamental meaning of vision that Gail received is in the same context.
- It is not about us digging the well, but it is the overflowing water that breaks out from the heaven.
- What we do is worship, and the Lord will do new things.
- Mission, salvation, evangelism, healing, impartation or commitment comes along when we focus on our Lord as we worship Him.
- If we focus on the fruits, we will find ourselves with even less fruit.
2: God wants to raise up worshipers through the Celebration whose hearts are set on giving more to the Lord than receiving.
- They will come to the Lord, not to receive, but to offer.
- When they do so, they will receive new things from the Lord in a totally different way.
- When they worship, they will experience new anointing in a higher level, poured out by the Lord.
3. Therefore, every song and worship that we have during this time, should be focused on glorifying God.
- We need to be very cautious that none of our songs, attitude, or ministries would go to the glory of any human being.
- We also need to prepare and make new songs of worship that will reveal the glory of the Lord.
4. The Celebration is the time of worship that will be the counter blow to the worship of Islam, Hindhu, and Buddism
- God is raising a time of worship,that will not manipulate but be spiritually pure.
- It will go against all the religions with religious festivals and strong holds of their 'worship'.
- This worship will flow throughout the nations bringing breakdown and destruction to the strongholds.
- The Celebration is the Lord's strategy to destroy their fortified cities that are full of idols.
- The main purpose is to attack the fortified cities with our restoration of true worship that
goes beyond their level of worship or commitment.
5. Therefore, the fruit of the Celebration will be world mission, and many other fruits such as healing, restoration, salvation, impartation, baptism of the Spirit and commitment.
- They will be abundant, not of human, but of God.
- When we worship God in the levels of heaven, there will be new things arising that no-one has ever seen before.
Calling the Worshipper Warriors
Celebration 09 will happen, but we need to stand together and intercede for the Lord's way. Locally in Llanelli some church leaders have some questions, and though some are very positive, one in particular is asking us not to have the Celebration here. We need to listen and understand their hearts and see how we can overcome these differences.
Continue to pray for administrative help and finance!
The Lord is giving clear vision. We need to understand the outworking of that vision. Please pray for the leaders.
One strong possibility now is that instead of going on the Festival Fields (which will take a lot of work and finance) we hire a local hall that will hold up to 1000 people.
PN4N has put together a wonderful presentation to challenge people to RESCUE the nations by repentance and celebration. Praise the Lord for what this will provoke in our response.
Keep worshiping the Lord!
Yours in Him for his glory,
Gail
