Last night as many gathered at the Twin Cities house of Prayer (located at North Heights Lutheran Church on Rice Street) the Lord brought us on a journey that was much unlike any prayer meeting that most of us had ever been too. We began the night and closed the night by drawing our eyes upward in worship.

The Holy Spirit led the group into a time of repentance on an individual level for a large chunk of the meeting. It is clear that the Lord is calling us to put on our new nature and to put to death the things of the flesh. Tonight, we were brought into the understanding that the Lord is giving us one of the keys to recieving a new wine skin for the state of Minnesota: embracing the Holy Spirit's conviction and walking in repentance (Isaiah 57:15).

There was also much time spent on  praying for each other. The Lord worked on our hearts in some powerful ways during this time.

To close out the night the whole group came together at the front of the sanctuary in a close huddle to sing our "highest praises to the Lamb of God." The Holy Spirit's presence rested upon us in a tangible manner as we were huddled together singing... it was powerful!

Here is a key thing that the Lord spoke tonight over the State that was placed in the Fast21 bucket at the end of the night:


While we were praying, I saw this vision:
I saw all of us sitting in a well lit room- like a waiting room in a clinic. I saw all of us getting our feet washed from our daily sins (John 13:10). Then I saw that all of us were hooked-up to an IV drip. I asked the Lord what this was, and he responded by saying this IV drip is "fresh revelation" from the Holy Spirit for us during this 21 day fast. That we will be renewed in the spirit of our minds, and that we would put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:23-24
The key is to "SIT" still and receive the "fresh revelation." If we move, we will pull out the IV and it will hurt.
