The RAMP

About 7.5 hours into on a 10 journey home… the Holy Ghost started a FIRE in our bus! A leader called me and I listened for over 45 minutes to kids sharing, testifying, exhorting, encouraging, interceding and just plain out get radical for the Lord! Anyways, I pulled over at a Rest Area. When we stopped I boarded the bus (was driving my personal van listening to the services again) and they were just going to town. For over 2 and a half hours at this point! One young man raised his hand and noticed that the place we stopped was called “Mount Zion”, Ky. Well, that blew it up all over again! They got off the bus and the guys were praying for the male worker at the Rest Area and the girls were praying for a young mother pushing her child in a stroller! They were telling people about Jesus and the price He had paid just for them! When we got home about an hour later… we went into the church and had “church” again! God showed up and the Holy Spirit blew the place up! Our pastor came up from his office and just began to weep! You could hear them interceding for their generation/family/friends etc… even outside in the parking lot! Parents were almost afraid to come in! IT was awesome! The Holy Spirit instructed me to have them “Cross the Line” like what had happened in the Pastor’s session. Oh my… it was GLORIOUS!!!

Just an update- revival is still going strong! We have seen numerous salvations, deliverances, and healings. A Baptist friend of mine brought her 36-year-old grandson who had suffered a stroke during surgery, which left him incapable of walking. When I looked from the platform during worship that night, I saw him walking with no walker! His grandmother was behind him speaking in tongues with her hands raised! She had received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit! Another friend of mine ran to the altar weeping and was also baptized in the Spirit! No altar call, no laying on of hands, no oil—JUST JESUS! I also have been healed after 36 years and need NO prescription medication! Glory!!

Our group was totally revived and our hearts once again set for the course before us. It wasn’t one of those one-time “youth camp” services where the Holy Spirit fell and then left because no one desired it. What I know is that it was REAL!  We were worshiping and dancing before the Lord because we were free from the world, and most importantly because He’s worthy of our praise. I’m bringing this back to my youth group, my church, my city, my school!

We are so thankful for Ramp 2…the kids and young adults are messed up in the best way.  New fire has ignited; they are having prayer meetings almost every night of the week. Different age groups are catching the fire and having prayer meetings on the other nights.
Damon said in real revival people will start confessing sin and repenting. We left Alabama Sunday morning at 2:30 am to get to our church that morning. Praise and worship was explosive because of the fire we had experienced at the Ramp. Everyone that went to Ramp preached the service.  It was amazing. The kids just started talking, exposing their sin, saying, ”Mom, you don’t know this but I’ve been…” This was all kid led! Real revival!

On our way back home from the Ramp gathering our youth group started interceding in prayer for our church and the other churches in our city. Well the Holy Spirit fell hard and people started receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost in the van! We got to our church that afternoon at 4:30 and prayed until church started at 6. That night we had people getting saved, baptized, receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost and people were getting delivered from everything…it was unlike anything we have ever seen. Since then our youth group is still completely on fire and has brought revival to our church. Thank God, our church will never be the same!
