There Was

There was an immediacy, an urgency.
There was great growth and expansion
Yet there was clearly an imminence, the awareness of expediency, of the soon return
The imminent return
There was love and joy
And there was power because of the Holy Spirit
And there was willingness to surrender, to separate and to walk powerfully and purely alone if need be yet standing in powerful purity and holy boldness for the good news precisely because of that same Holy Spirit.
There was a great harvest and great revival
There was healing and anointing
There was itinerancy and energy
There was enthusiasm and expectation
There was a desire for justice and holiness
There was a boldness to walk according to the unchanging high and holy nature of the Almighty and His Messiah.
These are what there was.
