Where is The Desperation?
I heard The LORD say three times, “Desperation, where is your desperation?
For Me? For Revival? For My Holy Spirit to inhabit your meetings, to move in your meetings, to demonstrate My Power and Glory?”
As The LORD speaks, I got a brief vision of Satan, as in Job, who come into The LORD’s Presence, strolling around, whistling contentedly, almost smugly. I hear The LORD ask him, “What are you doing here?“
I watch him turn to The LORD, “Things are easy down there. No-one is really that desperate for you any longer. I have them! They’re almost mine!” and he smiled — Satan smiled!
The vision faded and I hear The LORD once again asking, “Desperation! Where is your desperation? Why are you not desperate to see Me move among you?
Until you begin to get desperate for Me, very little will happen!
Until you get desperate for Me, there will be no real revival.
Where is the desperation of William Seymour, of Evan Roberts, of Christine and Peggy smith, of Wigglesworth, of Graham, and of Bonnke?
Where are those totally sold out for My Kingdom and My Cause?” cried The LORD.
“Where are the anguished nights of prayer, the crying out for Mercy, the Repentance and the weeping before My Throne?
There is no Desperation!” says The LORD.
“When my people get Desperate — as they did in Wales — as they did in America — and as they did in the Hebrides, then,” says The LORD, “I will bring that for which My People are Desperate.
I will bring Awakening and Revival.
I will bring My Presence — The Glory Cloud — into your meetings!
I will bring Signs and Wonders in Power!” promises our God!
“Show Me your Desperation, and I will show you My Presence and My Power!” says The LORD.

Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.
This is obviously on God’s heart. Yesterday the Lord had me listen again to a sermon by David Wilkerson “A Call to Anguish.”

@39:45 The servant who willingly takes on the mantle of God’s pain is the only servant who has the authority and right to hold God to his covenant promises.
@43:42 There is going to be no renewal, no
revival, no awakening, until we are willing to let Him once again break us.

I love the Lord I love His laws His ways I do desperately want to walk in them I do desperately want Gal 4 19 to be absolute truth in my life that Christ is completely and permanently formed in me that I am that temple which houses all the power of the Godhead as Colossians says. Every day, I check the soil of my heart that it is clean of hard pathways thorns stones and that the soil is well-prepped fertilized watered to grow the best crop possible. I arm myself by studying the word of God so I know the truth for myself enforcing every day that Jesus paid for all my sins giving me His perfect body so I am made so righteous and perfect that the very Spirit of God can dwell in me, I study the testimony of Jesus the gospel message so I can present it with authority and knowing, I am always ready to share and answer all arguments questions people have ready to move in with any gift or power required as I listen to the voice of my Lord
