In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to Him, and His place of rest will be glorious. Isaiah 11:10
As I embark
on a trans-Atlantic journey I am reminded of the words of Isaiah declaring that
the nations will rally to the Root of
Jesse, the Son of Man, the Messiah. Isaiah’s prophetic word sounds a signal for the gathering of God’s
people in Munich, Germany. Deborah and I are joining thousands of other
like-minded leaders from dozens of nations. We and our team will partner in birthing
a shaking and awakening on the European continent. This is NOT a conference. This
is a move of the Holy Spirit birthed in Asia and now entering the global sphere
of influence through the gateway of Munich, Germany. From 2009 until now each of
these worship gatherings was named for the nation hosting it, a specific nation
coming into alignment with the Lord’s end time move. However the Munich
gathering is called the ‘Global
Gathering’ declaring the next level of influence for this day and hour.
It is interesting that the Apostle Paul pioneered the spread of the Gospel of
the Kingdom in Asia. He was happy with that and would have continued in that
direction. But suddenly, he took a sharp left turn on the map toward Europe. He
was called by the Holy Spirit to Europe. So it is today.
In my spirit
I sense a shaking in Europe. We’ve seen the historic decline of the church, the
massive influx of Islamic immigrants, the elevation of intellect and knowledge
over faith and spirituality, and the lack of national will to contend against
evil. As Bret Stephens recently wrote, ‘It’s
not that Europe stands for nothing. It stands for shallow things shallowly.’
While 65% of
Germany is nominally Christian, only 2% is evangelical. The institutional church
in Europe is dead. But there is a remnant; flaming fires of
faith, contending for the Kingdom on that continent. In Germany house
churches are springing up, Christian publications are expanding, and new
streams of worship are flowing toward heaven. These fires of faith are vibrant
and visionary; not intimidated by the darkness around them. It is from this remnant we see the banner
of the Root of Jesse waving over the nation. I believe a remnant in the
nations of Europe will rally in unity to Him.
Watch and pray for the gathering in Munich to fan the flame and raise
the banner!
