A FRESH PULSE COMING
By Loren Sanford
SUDDENLIES
Most revivals seem to happen as "suddenlies" when a group
of people find themselves ambushed by an overpowering
outbreak of the Spirit. While we will continue to see
pockets of this in coming days, the broader thing I sense
coming is probably not a "suddenly" but more of a gradual
rising of ground water that finally overflows, or a
settling much deeper into the Father's heart in Jesus
over a period of time. As such, it will ultimately be
more powerful and more lasting, although less sensational
in its outward manifestations. If we are absorbed in
praying for the "suddenly", longing for the old
manifestations and in trying to make revival happen, we
may miss what God chooses to pour out. Seldom is that a
repeat of something old. God does love "new wine" and I
will take Him in whatever flavor He chooses to send, now
or in the future. Meanwhile, I can feel that groundwater
rising.
REFOCUS
For many of us, this will necessitate a refocus of faith
and spiritual hunger. In two of my books I've stated that
if you focus on being supernatural you will end up in
shipwreck, but that if you focus on intimacy with the
Father you will end up being supernatural. You can seek
an experience and find delusion, or you can seek intimate
relationship with the living God and find an experience.
SIMPLICITY
This calls for a simplicity we too often seem to have
lost. Unless you become as a child in simple receptive
innocence you cannot enter the kingdom of God (Matthew
18:3). I can therefore no longer subscribe, for example,
to the assumption that revival comes by studying how to
bring about healing, or any other outbreak, by following
certain methods or steps. We can learn to preserve a good
thing God has already sent by studying how to steward the
anointing well, but no study of the method or effort at
applying it can make it actually happen. Likewise,
prophetic conferences and prophetic schools do not
produce prophetic people, but rather refine and
discipline those who already carry prophetic gifts. I
suggest that many of us have made our spiritual lives
just too complicated and have striven to become
supernatural at the expense of simple intimacy with the
Father and of solid grounding in Scripture. For me and
for many others, the result has been disappointing. God
has more for us!
SWEETER AND DEEPER
For those in position to receive it in the childlike
simplicity Jesus called for, a new and wonderful pulse of
the Spirit is rising, an anointing sweeter, deeper and
more powerful than anything we've known. It will spell
the end of hype, as well as of much of the discrediting
nonsense that has too often dominated the landscape in
recent decades. While it will touch some established and
well known spiritual centers, it will be especially
notable for the rise of many who have been held back and
hidden for many years. It will include young and powerful
emerging leaders alongside some older ones, all filled
with a simple and even sensible passion for God and His
eternal truth. I'm filled with anticipation to see what
it will all look like. Meanwhile, seek simple intimacy
with our Father and our Savior and take care for solid
Scriptural grounding. Then expect great things!
