WEBVTT
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.639
And the moment was just absolutely the deepest terror that I could possibly describe.
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.080
And suddenly I became aware that I wasn't the only one screaming.
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:15.039
There was like hundreds and then thousands of voices screaming.
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:19.359
And then it and then it occurred to me in the dream, oh my goodness, I'm in hell.
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.760
An evidence that there was supernatural stuff happening all over the room.
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:28.480
People were prophesying, people were praying, people were falling out, people were crying.
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:29.839
En masse.
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.880
And it was like, oh my goodness, we've never seen this before.
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.880
I said to them, guys, your eyes are like, they're like on fire.
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:40.960
It's like your faces are shining.
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.159
What's going on?
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.920
What have you got that I don't have, you know, in my 20-year-old innocence?
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.439
And they're like, Well, well, Duncan, we're baptized in the Holy Spirit.
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.960
And I'm like, the who?
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.439
Like the Holy Spirit, come up to the front.
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.799
They all looked at each other, people like, yeah, I think that would be nice.
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:08.560
And just as they went to get up, the Holy Spirit came with his mighty thick, glorious presence.
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:16.319
And everyone in the room was literally instantaneously filled with glory.
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.319
Laid out on the floor.
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:29.680
You head up a global movement that was birthed in probably the most or one of the most significant modern revival movements of this generation, and we need a new one.
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.359
Can you just release the fire over it?
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:32.480
You guys carry it on.
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.560
You literally catch the fire.
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:35.680
Let's pour it out.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.079
In the mighty name of Jesus.
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.599
Well, hey guys, welcome to Encounter Vall with Ben and Jody Hughes.
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:57.040
I say this every time, but we have a very, very special episode for you today.
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:16.080
We talk with our amazing, amazing friends, Duncan and Kate Smith, who are the global presidents of Catch the Fire, which of course is the movement that came out of the Toronto, blessing, the Toronto revival, the Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship that literally touched the world in 12 years of revival.
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:22.080
And we talk about things today, including how that revival started, things that we had never heard about.
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:31.199
Stories of hunger and just the pursuit of God that literally led to a world-changing, world-shaking move of God.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:32.479
Yeah, the backstory.
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:33.840
We've literally just finished.
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:38.080
My the only way I can describe it, guys, is did our hearts not burn within us?
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.800
I'm I'm completely wrecked, I'm undone.
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:42.080
You will be too.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.400
There's such a release of the Father's love.
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.400
There's a release of the fire of God.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:47.439
Stick with this.
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.360
The story will expand your hunger and art for God.
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.280
And the prayers at the end, guys.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:53.759
Yeah.
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:54.639
Listen.
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:56.080
Get wrecked by them.
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.080
There's such a lingering of his presence.
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.680
I feel like Jody said, when she said that, did her hearts not burn?
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:02.800
My heart is burning.
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:03.840
My heart is burning right.
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.800
Well, listen, she made it, she made a comment and I want to repeat it because I want you to watch it.
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.879
We asked, you know, it's a simple question, what's the cry of your heart right now?
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:23.759
And Kate answered and she said, for another generation to be marked by the fire and not just hear the stories anymore, but to have the encounter and the experience themselves.
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:29.439
Watch this, lean in with hunger and experience the fire of God in you.
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:36.240
Like, subscribe, comment, send this to somebody who needs to be stirred up for revival and the father's love.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.639
Again, you're gonna love this one, guys.
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:39.280
Be blessed.
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:40.240
Pour it out.
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.479
Well, Duncan and Kate Smith, welcome to Encountable.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.520
Man, we are so excited to have you guys with us.
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.159
Um, we've been looking forward to this conversation.
00:03:58.400 --> 00:03:59.919
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.439
And uh can't wait for this.
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.319
Yeah, well, thank you for inviting us.
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:11.759
We're we're very excited as well, and um love to talk about God and revival and all that stuff.
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:12.240
Yeah.
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.439
Yeah, well, we love you guys, so here we go.
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:22.000
Yeah, we love you very much, and uh I think you two are two of our two of our absolute favorite people.
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:28.240
And um, we were just together in Mexico and um had an amazing time in Mexico.
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:41.759
We uh we've been together at your church there and uh in Raleigh, North Carolina, and uh we were also at Revival, we were revival junkies together at the end, and I'm sorry, talking about lining up outside.
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.959
And a very, a very alive text conversation ongoing.
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.959
Yes, yes, very much so.
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.800
Um well, we've got so much we want to talk about with you guys today.
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.319
Um, very much.
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.879
Um I want to say you guys are the the global president of Catch the Fire.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:07.040
Um and uh Catch the Fire, of course, is the the movement of churches that that really came out of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship.
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:07.519
Is that right?
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.160
I've got that right.
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:08.959
Yeah.
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.120
And uh all that God did with that.
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:16.480
And so there's a rich history of his presence, a rich history of revival.
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.160
Um, and we're gonna talk about all those kind of crazy things.
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.120
Um, but why don't we just start um just just with both of you individually, I guess first.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.959
Um, Duncan, why don't you start us just with your um just your brief origin story with God?
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.959
Yeah, so uh I grew up um in Nigeria.
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.399
My parents were missionaries, I was born there, grew up there until I was 18.
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:44.160
And my mom and dad were really uh devout, godly lovers of Jesus.
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.839
And um, you know, I have a a brother who's buried there.
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:54.560
Uh, you know, they they really gave their lives for the gospel to be to be made known to the Nigerian peoples.
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:04.879
And they were in northern Nigeria, um, which it was very uh sort of uh Islamic area, and uh and God just used them really powerfully.
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:25.199
So growing up in that environment, um, I grew up with a deep desire to walk with Jesus, but because they sent me to boarding school, there were areas of my heart that were really um just messed up with abandonment, rejection, unworthiness, shame, fear, control, rebellion, all that kind of stuff that happens.
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:38.560
Uh, that really, by the time I became a teenager, uh, I made some really poor choices at boarding school in England and went sort of far away from uh the type of life that my parents would want me to live.
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.360
And um, but deep down on the inside, I knew Jesus.
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:59.759
I mean, I can say that I invited him into my heart probably when I was about three years old, and then reaffirmed that when I was 14, but at the same time, I was really just walking away from him as well, kind of like living that um that kind of double life.
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:15.199
But when I was 20 years old, um I'd had a dream uh that I was in the dream, we were taking off in an aeroplane um in Nigeria at the airport that I would travel back to England through.
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:26.560
And as the plane took off, uh it just began to go back down and suddenly it hit the ground, and everything went like white light and turned to white ash in a split second.
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:46.240
And I was with my parents and my brothers in the dream, and they all were incinerated, we were all incinerated, and I I was screaming like screaming, screaming in the dream, and and couldn't see anyone, couldn't see myself, but I felt like me.
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.319
It was like I was had no body, but I could feel exactly where my body was.
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:57.120
And the moment was just absolutely the deepest terror that I could possibly describe.
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.560
And suddenly I became aware that I wasn't the only one screaming.
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:12.160
There was like hundreds and then thousands of voices screaming, and then it and then it occurred to me in the dream, oh my goodness, I'm in hell, and I can't get out.
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:26.160
And I was so like so terrified and in so much agony, and then suddenly I woke up, and I'm like reaching for my cigarettes, you know, running outside to have a quick cigarette.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.800
Um, and uh and but it shook me to the core of my being.
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:48.080
I wasn't walking with the Lord at the time, and just a very short time later, um I went to America on a planned trip, and while I was in America, uh the host family that that invited me, they took me uh to Colorado.
00:08:48.720 --> 00:09:09.039
And I was uh at um Esther's Park in Colorado, and it was a Christian camp, and the gl and one night they persuaded me to go to this meeting, and the preacher preached the gospel, and and I was under tremendous conviction, and with this dream and everything, I was really shaken.
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:18.000
And uh he invited us to go forward, and instead I ran out the side door, and I just went stumbling up this mountain path.
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.720
I don't even know where I was going or what I was doing.
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:41.519
I just was so kind of um under the weight and the burden of my sin and my need for for a radical change and my need to get very serious with Jesus when suddenly I can only describe that I walk I felt like I walked into the presence of Jesus.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:10:21.279
I walked, I couldn't see him, but I walked into this space where his presence was so real, and I just hit the ground on the pathway and just started weeping, asking his forgiveness for all of my sin and for all of my rebellion, and which was you know, I haven't gone into detail, but it was very deep, and um, and and I heard his voice saying to me, Duncan, I forgive you and I love you, and I have an amazing plan for your life, but you can't just have one foot in, one foot out anymore.
00:10:21.600 --> 00:11:13.919
You either follow me for the rest of your life, or you go your ways, and I just wet my way into inviting Jesus into my heart to be my Lord and Savior, and I felt his presence go from the outside literally into me, and I knew that my spirit man was instantly united with Christ because suddenly this tremendous, indescribable joy exploded in my heart, and I've been very rebellious, very you know, kind of slightly sullen and type of person to being completely transformed into just the most joyful person, and and the Lord just you know, he began to start to speak to me about his calling on my life and and uh that he had amazing plans for my life.
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:23.600
And so when I got up off that floor, I got up a completely changed man, so much so that my host family, which included my girlfriend at the time, they didn't recognize me.
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:29.039
Um, my girlfriend finished with me because she wanted me to get saved, but not that saved.
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:35.120
And then and then I went back to England shortly later, and no one in my family recognized me.
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.600
And it was just before I went off to university.
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:42.639
And uh when I got to university, I got in with the Christian Union, and then that was it.
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:44.000
Let me just interrupt for a sec.
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:59.279
Sure, please I'm curious about when you um when you heard God speak when you were there, because I I mean I I had a very similar uh conversion experience really bad in encountering God like that and hearing his voice.
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:05.120
I would describe it as very much like what I now know to be the still small voice of the Lord internally.
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.840
Is that what you heard, or was it was it more of a very booming voice?
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:09.360
No, it wasn't booming, no.
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.320
It was just very tender, very loving.
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.399
Uh I I just call it the inner audible voice of the Lord.
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.720
Yes, yes, yeah, that's what I experienced too.
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:18.960
Right.
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:26.720
But he really spoke to in the same way with me, I guess, he really spoke to your identity and who he was calling you to be, yeah, right.
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:27.440
Who you were.
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.039
Yeah, exactly.
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:30.080
Exactly that.
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.480
And yeah, so that just set me on.
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:57.600
I mean, when I got to university, I've I bumped into in the very first week, I bumped into some um people that were from the Christian Union, and uh they invited me to join the Christian Union, and I I could see in just chatting with them that they were even more on fire than I was, and I was like, and growing up in an evangelical background, I'd never see, you know, I never saw anybody on fire.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.279
I mean, I saw zeal, but I never saw anybody on fire.
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:06.399
Yeah, and I said to them, guys, your eyes are like they're like on fire.
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.480
It's like your your faces are shining.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:09.759
What what's going on?
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.440
What have you got that I don't have, you know, in my 20-year-old innocence?
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:17.039
And they're like, Well, well, Duncan, we're baptized in the Holy Spirit.
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:18.480
And I'm like, the who?
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.480
You're baptized in the who, the dove?
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.120
What do you what do you the Holy Spirit?
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.360
How do what what are you talking about?
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.440
You know, because how do you get baptized in a dove?
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.519
How do you get baptized exactly?
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:39.679
And so they just said, Well, you know, just go to your room and ask him to come and baptize you and read this book by Benny Hinn called Good Morning, Good Morning Holy Spirit.
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:41.440
Oh man, like we all did.
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:42.320
Oh no.
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:54.159
So that started a nine-month journey of uh sort of sometimes praying three hours a day, just asking the Lord, please, God, please baptize me with the Holy Spirit.
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:59.360
And and you know, I'd have those moments in the Christian Union where it was about 300 of us.
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.480
So it was it was big.
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:07.919
We were in revival looking back, and my friends would be like, Holy Spirit, come and fill Duncan and Duncan, just speak in tongues.
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:25.679
I'd be like, And just to round this bit up, just finally in one Sunday, it was a Ugandan speaking at our church, a pastor, and he was just so full of the Holy Spirit, and he's speaking about the Holy Spirit.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:32.320
I ran down to the front and I and and I was the first person there, and he said, What can I do for you?
00:14:32.559 --> 00:15:22.960
And uh I said, I would love to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and he just said, Of course, and he put his hand on me, and suddenly, Ben and Jody and Kate, this just this huge rush, this well rose up on the inside of me, and I just started speaking, and this this the me shikando soto and I couldn't switch it off, and he moved on to the next person, and I just I kept speaking tongues all the way out, got onto my huge sports bike, motorcycle that I had at the time, your 160-mile-an-hour sports bike, and I was like, I love it, and you haven't changed since.
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.919
No, you know, it's it's got worse.
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:27.679
I got worse, Jody.
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:29.120
Come on.
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.240
You got better for you.
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:36.000
You got better on this uh on this podcast, it's interesting how often we've ended up talking about tongues.
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.919
You know, there's a lot of controversy in this season for some reason about it.
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.919
And and I keep telling people listen, stop listening to people who don't speak in tongues.
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.320
Listen to people who speak in tongues.
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:51.600
I don't know a single person who speaks in tongues who doesn't believe that tongues is for everybody.
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:55.600
The only people who believe that tongues isn't for everybody is those who don't speak in tongues.
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.120
And that's a really such a powerful gift.
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:00.559
Such a powerful gift.
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:11.919
And uh and it once again uh it it amazes me to hear stories when we do this are so similar to my own story, you know, encountering God, because it kind of, you know, this is on other sides of the world.
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.360
I was in New Zealand, you're in England, and yet we're encountering the same holy case.
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:28.399
But also, how many times are we we've talked to people and an inner audible voice or outer audible voice has called people into salvation and their destiny every single time.
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:29.759
It's wild.
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:35.840
You know, actually, while we are here, and we're gonna come to ask Kate your origin story too in in just a moment.
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:37.679
The origin of superheroes.
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:38.320
That's right.
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:40.480
You guys are superheroes.
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:42.159
You're my superheroes for sure.
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:50.639
Oh you guys the the goodness of God, you know, the kindness, this is what we see when we're talking to people over and over.
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:51.679
The goodness of God.
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.039
So you had a dream.
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:54.799
I mean, God came after you.
00:16:55.039 --> 00:17:02.240
You know, you you actually had a dream where God was going, Duncan, I want you, and I'm coming after you now, and here's where you're going.
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.680
Yeah, and so you literally have a hell experience.
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:06.400
Yeah, I did.
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:07.680
I did.
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:15.039
And and I think that's why, Ben, I just can't stop telling people about Jesus.
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:16.079
Yeah.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.839
Because he really is our savior.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:28.000
I think a lot of time, a lot of times we we don't we don't really get it.
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:33.359
It rolls off the tongue that he's our savior, but he's really our savior.
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.119
And I've experienced what he saved us from.
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:56.720
And what he saved us from is so utterly terrible, and so utterly terrifying, and so utterly, utterly painful, that nobody, no human being should ever, ever, ever, ever go there.
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:30.160
And and the Lord showed me one day, I was asking him about it, and he showed me he did not create hell for human beings, he created hell to judge sin and the source of sin, Satan himself and all the fallen angels, and the beast and all the you know, and so on, and and to contain that sin for eternity in an everlasting fire, so that sin never, ever, ever could become something that could ruin heaven forever.
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:57.920
And so, you know, he's actually created a place to shut and lock sin up eternally, and the Lord showed me that if a human being chooses not to accept their Savior Jesus, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that he honors that choice, and if a person said no to him for a lifetime, he'll never force eternity on them.
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:31.599
He'll never force them to have to spend eternity with him, and he has made a way so that when we all get to heaven, our sin has been eternally separated from us, and we've been eternally separated from it, so that our sin's eternal destiny will never be our eternal destiny, and we can our spirit man united in our new bodies will be able to spend eternity in the new heaven that's the new earth, and sin will never, ever, ever, ever be possibly resurrected.
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.519
It is will be burning in that fire that was in my dream.
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:36.559
Wow.
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:42.160
Are there any other specific details, like real specific, that you remember about hell itself?
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:48.799
Well, the the the just specifically was everything was white.
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:57.200
Like like you were looking into the sun, like dazzling white light, as opposed to flames of fire.
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:16.160
I didn't see any, and I'm I you know I wouldn't want to build a case for what hell looks like based on my dream, but what struck out what stuck out to me was that there were no flames, it was just burning, burning, burning sensation, but it was light.
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:22.799
It was like piercing white light, and it went straight through you.
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:33.680
And you could feel you could feel yourself, like I my hands, you know, I could feel my body just like I can feel it now, as if it's me, but I had no body.
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.759
It was just in this burning light.
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.519
It was like you had an encounter with the consuming fire of God.
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:46.000
Yeah, you know, yeah, now God is a consuming fire, and that's a good and a bad thing.
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.319
Yeah, you know, um, and I often pray that.
00:20:48.400 --> 00:21:01.920
Even when I'm ministering to people, you know, we'll pray, God, we just release your consuming fire, you're a consuming fire and burn up everything that's not you, yeah, and let us just be consumed by you so that what remains is Him, you know.
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:05.519
And that's what that's what I I think about when I think about that.
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:13.039
You are experiencing that that that white, hot fire of God, yeah, you know, that no sin can stand in.
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.440
Yeah.
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:15.039
And um I love that.
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.160
You feel the fear of Lord on it, even though we're talking about it.
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:23.279
So Kate, we we love you, Kate.
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.799
You're amazing.
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:33.440
And uh I um we're just so grateful for you and for your friendship and for your leadership and the impact you guys are having all around the world.
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.440
Um, tell us a little bit about you, tell us about your origin story.
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.359
Yeah, well, I thankfully was raised in a Christian home.
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:53.359
And my parents, when I was a young girl, they went from being quite sort of ordinary Methodists to actually seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:59.759
And it was during the seventies, the charismatic renewal when they heard about these pockets of believers.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:05.279
That were beginning to um speak in tongues and be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:14.640
So as a young girl, we used to drive across to other towns and we would go to these meetings where our parents were like seeking more of the Holy Spirit.
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:23.839
And um my parents were reading um nine o'clock in the morning and you know, waiting for God to baptize them in the spirit.
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:33.680
So they took us along to these events and to these Bible camps where I actually gave my life to Jesus at six years old.
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:39.279
And then two years later, I was asked if I wanted to speak in tongues.
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:45.359
And as a young child, you don't doubt, you just think, yeah, of course.
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:57.279
And you know, um, I was led in uh being led in in tongues and the baptism and with childlike faith, I was able to do it very fluently at that age.
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:11.920
And we we were part of these camps where we would see the Holy Spirit touch people, people would fall over, people were getting healed, you know, there was a sense of the presence and the power of God coming together.
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:32.160
And my sister actually got healed of deafness in really um yeah, she was fully deaf in one ear, she was about eight years old, I was about nine, and um, she was partially deaf in the other side, and this man of God, an older guy, he was so gentle, there was no sort of sensational anything.
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.960
It was like, just be opened up in Jesus' name.
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.319
It was a simple prayer, and her ear popped open.
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:46.400
So as a young girl of nine, I was like, okay, this is who God is, this is what I give my life for.
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:49.920
This is this is my baseline experience.
00:23:50.079 --> 00:24:11.839
Like, I don't want any other version of Christianity, I want the full raw, raw power, raw deal, and that really sort of kept me as a teenager and kept me very hungry, pursuing God, pursuing um a relationship with Him, and really wanting to grow in ministering in the gifts for myself.
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:34.480
But alongside that, um, there was quite a lot of generational witchcraft that had come down my mother's line because she was the first person in her family to ever get saved, and her family had been into all sorts of witchcraft, and so I had a lot of fear in the night, night terrors, and I I saw apparitions at the end of my bed.
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:59.200
It was like I knew the supernatural was real, and I did not like the fear that came with with all the other stuff that so I I had this tension of like I I want God, but I'm I'm still bound up in fear, and I think it took a long time to begin to understand what that was all about in my life, but it really led me to what kind of things did you see, Kate?
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:08.640
Yeah, well, we you know, we're in little girls in this tent at night, and one of the girls says, I've seen a ghost, it it came to my bed and all this.
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:22.799
Well, I was so afraid at that moment there was a doorway of fear that came into my life, and um I began to um see visitors at the end of my bed, like dark shadows.
00:25:22.880 --> 00:26:09.519
I was afraid, and I was so afraid I couldn't even tell my parents, you know, when you f think you've done something wrong and um there's the shame of that, and so I I knew enough to call on the name of Jesus, and I did that, and it eventually dissipated, but it was just like an open door of fear in my life that I I knew God's power was bigger, but I didn't know that you could have deliverance to be free from fear and you know, demonic entry points through the family line, and some of my mum's relatives like an older cousin, she would babysit for us and she would let us watch horror movies, and that was like the scariest thing, you know.
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:21.839
And I I think you know, it was it was an understanding that when we had our own girls, our own children, it was like, okay, there are doorways into the the dark world.
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.880
Um, and you know, those things want to grip us.
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.200
Yeah, by then we'd had a lot of deliverance and stuff.
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:38.160
We'd had a lot of deliverance and had some of the tools to know how to do it, but but beyond that, I knew that the power of God was real and pursued that wholeheartedly.
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:42.640
Really chose not to have a life of compromise and sin.
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:47.519
I wouldn't date boys, even though they wanted to, I wanted to.
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:52.799
I was very clear that I was gonna wait for the the person that God had for me.
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:55.759
And um and Duncan.
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:09.119
And actually, I mean, talk about I had to very much restrain myself from being a typical Aussie or Kiwi then and and apologize for the fact that ultimately you ended up with Duncan.
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:12.960
You ended up with Duncan, Duncan, yeah.
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:20.319
And the thing is, we met each other six months after he got baptized in the spirit and gave his life back to Jesus.
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:22.799
And so I was like, who is this guy?
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:28.400
He's moved to my small town, and I said to the Lord, there's nothing and nobody there for me.
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:33.759
Why do you why are you sending me back after you know doing my YWAM DTS in LA?
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.000
And the Lord said, You know, I want you to go home.
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:39.599
And I'm like, Okay, Lord, I don't understand, but I'm gonna obey you.
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:43.920
And then I bump into this mighty man full of despair.
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:49.440
Yeah, cut that back motorcycle riding, tongue talking, fire breathing.
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:51.039
Get into this job.
00:27:51.440 --> 00:28:03.119
Well, my mum and dad had moved back from Nigeria by then after 20 years, and um and my dad worked on our family farm for a couple of years, but really his heartbeats mission.
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:10.319
And so he got invited by the mission that he was in Nigeria with to sort of be one of the leaders, international leaders.
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.960
And uh their headquarters was in London.
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:26.400
And as soon as Dad said yes, he said he didn't realize he said yes into them acting into an era in which they were moving north, like 200 miles north of London, which is where Kate's from.
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:37.680
And so my first uh vacation from university, I was at Oxford's second university called Oxford Brooks, which is a great university, but not the main Oxford University.
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:48.720
And uh I just had started my first semester, and then sorry, was actually just ending my second semester, and that's when I met Kate.
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.480
And uh yeah, I I fell in love with her straight away.
00:28:52.640 --> 00:29:07.279
Her first Sunday back from LA was my first Sunday at their church, and my dad had met her dad, and uh her dad had invited us because my dad said, Oh, my son's just absolutely what kind of church do you do you guys go to?
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:20.240
Oh, uh, you know, we go to an evangelical church, but we'd really like to try a charismatic church because my son is just really on fire, and my other two sons, I'd like them to catch fire too.
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:23.359
And in fact, I'd like to catch fire, and so would my wife.
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:24.480
Catch the fire.
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:27.039
So they ended up uh, yeah, it's funny, isn't it?
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:31.200
Now we're leaders of catch fire, but that's really the conversation.
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:33.119
And he said, Well, come to my church.
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:38.559
I've I'm one of the uh the lead pastors, and uh, you know, I think you'll love it.
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:57.759
And so the very first Sunday was Kate's first Sunday back from LA, and I looked across the room, you know, I was worshiping the Lord with my hands up, and I had my eyes like this, and I was just checking out the crowd, you know, looking to see if there was any, you know, anyone else that was as on fire as me in the room, you know.
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:08.079
And I thought I saw Kate across the vision of Kate! And I as soon as I saw her, I thought, I'm gonna marry that girl.
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.240
I'm gonna marry that girl right there.
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:19.599
And she just was so in love with Jesus, and I was watching her worship, and I was just like, that that's that that I'm marrying her.
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:21.680
Yeah, yeah, amazing.
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:22.240
I love that.
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.759
Amazing a match made in heaven.
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.440
Yeah, let's jump, let's jump forward if we can.
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:27.680
Yeah.
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:29.039
So you guys get married.
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:36.240
Um, whirlwind romance, and um, you're both already on fire for Jesus, you're already uh in the things of the spirit.
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:42.000
Take us up to Toronto and and your introduction, exposure, involvement.
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:43.599
Just just tell us, let's talk about that.
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:44.480
Yeah.
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:45.599
Absolutely.
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:58.640
Well, as you know, we were we were God chasers, and it was around that time that we were introduced to um Ken Gott, and um we were you take the story from here.
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:26.000
We'd heard about the revival right away, because England was one of the places where the Toronto revival just exploded in the first few days of the revival starting, really, and uh to the point where you know, whole aeroplanes full of British people were coming over to Toronto and getting just full of the Holy Spirit and bringing that fire back to England, and so it really swept across the country very quickly.
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:34.000
Including his brother's church, Murray and Ash, that were up in Newcastle, they were part of a movement that they all came to Toronto.
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:39.200
We went to visit them for the weekend, and their church was like nothing we'd ever seen.
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:40.960
It just exploded in the room.
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:42.160
That's the only way I can describe it.
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:46.000
The power and the manifestations of the Holy Spirit all across the room.
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:50.400
We we'd see God moving powerfully, but nothing like that en masse.
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:57.920
No, it was just for I mean, the one lady next to me who's one of Murray and Ash, my my brother's called Murray, his wife's Ash.
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:05.200
And, you know, bearing in mind that we're in our 20s here, we're in our sort of mid-twenties and they're in their early 20s.
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:11.680
This one, this one girl next to me was nine months pregnant, like heavily pregnant.
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:23.119
You know, when a person's really like ready, you know, and she just she just faceplanted on the ground while everybody else is just getting wrecked in the Holy Spirit.
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:36.240
She just faceplanted on the ground next to me and just started violently, horizontally, just going like this, on top of her tummy, on her baby.
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:44.079
And and and and just it was like she was being shaken by like a ragdoll.
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:50.240
And uh, you know, people might be listening and thinking, well, what in the world was happening?
00:32:50.400 --> 00:33:03.839
Well, the Lord was just showing her that he's God, and that you know, and that he's awesome, and and she just that baby, I'm sure, must be on fire somewhere in the world.
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.680
She had her baby, no problem at all.
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:07.759
There was no sudden delivery or anything.
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:25.839
She had a baby in the perfect time, but all of us in that time, all of us knew that God is extraordinary and that he's awesome, and that he's so phenomenally mighty and yet so loving.
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:29.920
And, you know, people were falling down because they couldn't stand up.
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:32.640
People were shaking because they couldn't stop shaking.
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.960
People were crying because they couldn't stop crying, people were laughing because they couldn't stop laughing.
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:45.839
It was like the presence of God just he just manifested his presence among us in that gathering stage of the revival en masse.
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:49.599
And I think we were just multiple meetings all over the country.
00:33:49.839 --> 00:34:02.400
We were just like, we're gonna go to some meetings, we're we're we're gonna go where God is, because our experience in charismatic church across the nation at the time was it it just felt a bit tired.
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:25.119
It was like, you know, John Wimber had come through the country a few years earlier, but it wasn't at that scale, and so we kind of longed in our heart to to go to Toronto because some of our friends in church had had been visiting, and we but we were in the middle of having our family, our children, and 1994 our eldest daughter was born.
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:29.519
So A, you don't have a whole lot of time with a baby and you don't have any money.
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:35.840
No, so it was like if we're gonna go anywhere, then God's gotta start providing.
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:52.480
And I think we just had a real desire, and one day we just prayed, Lord, if you could make it possible for us to go to Toronto, we don't have enough for both air tickets, but if you could provide another ticket for us, enough money to buy a ticket, we'll go a second ticket.
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:54.159
A second ticket, then we'll go.
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:55.280
Well, don't you know?
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:03.119
Wow, some friends of us said a few days later, we've been praying, and the next day the Lord told us we were to give you this money.
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:09.199
And they gave us the exact amount that we'd spent that we'd need to spend on a second ticket.
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:10.800
Yeah, it was amazing.
00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:21.039
So it was like, okay, that's our green light to go and meet these people in Toronto and and actually experience revival at the at the source, you know?
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:35.599
Yeah, um because you yeah, before you get to um Toronto yourself, then um for those who may be listening and don't even really know, can you just give the really brief version of basically what happened, of how it started, what broke out?
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:36.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:37.920
So we're talking about Toronto.
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:45.920
Yeah, so John and Carol Arnett are the founding pastors of the Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship.
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:48.639
And uh that's what it was called when they planted it.
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:54.159
They'd started their first church, which was the uh Stratford Vineyard Church, which is about an hour and a half away.
00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:57.039
And then they had felt the Lord call them to Toronto.
00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:08.079
They did both churches for a little bit and then eventually left the Stratford Church in the in the hands of someone else, and they were just hungry, hungry, hungry for the Holy Spirit.
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:37.599
And um they'd been they'd been brought into uh uh communion with God through um Mark Verkler, learning how to hear the voice of God, and then after that, got really as God began to speak his love into their hearts, they really opened their hearts to uh it they'd heard about somebody moving in the father's love, a guy called Jack Winter, and they invited him to the Stratford Church and Jack introduced them to the Father's Love.
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.000
And this this was all brand new back then.
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:44.559
Nobody'd ever heard that no nobody ever thought of God as our heavenly daddy.
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:50.800
They just thought, Almighty God, you know, God our loving heavenly father, but never heavenly daddy.
00:36:50.960 --> 00:37:04.239
And so, you know, as they're getting wrecked in the father's love, then they realize that, you know, God loved them just as they were, just as they are, loves us just as he loves us just as we are, but he loves us way too much to leave us as we are.
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:20.159
And they began a journey in Toronto, um, at well, at the tail end of Stratford and and and uh the early stages of the Toronto Church into the Elijah House uh training, which is all about getting healed up from life's hurts.
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:43.360
And that that together with the Lord saying to them, I want you to give me your mornings, and which meant that they just spent their mornings just with the Lord, and also I want you to go where I'm moving, wherever I'm moving, whoever I'm moving through, I want you to go and have them lay hands on you.
00:37:43.679 --> 00:38:08.800
And so here they are now in Toronto, church is about 300 people, 1993, and John Arnett has always been friends with Benny Hinn since they were young, and they used to chase Katherine Kulman, not chase Katherine Kulman, but they used to go to her meetings and go all over the North America uh chasing the anointing in Catherine Kulman meetings.
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:18.000
And so I heard that by this time Benny was now really moving powerfully in his ministry in '93, '92, '93.
00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:32.639
And so John, uh, John and Carol went to a Benny Hinn meeting, and they just, in the in the speaker's lounge at the end of everything, Benny just rushed at Carol and said, The Lord's told me I'm to give you the anointing.
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:38.480
And she just, the Holy Spirit fell on her so powerfully.
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:53.679
She was just so dramatically touched by the Lord that John had to carry her back to the car, and you know, he had to literally take care of all of her physical needs uh for the longest time that night and get her into bed and all the rest of it.
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:56.079
She was just so undone by the Holy Spirit.
00:38:56.320 --> 00:39:07.440
And then they got an opportunity to go to um uh Argentina, where revival was literally all over the country in Argentina.
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.239
The Argentinian revival was in full swing.
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:16.400
And so they went in in um November 1993, November, December 1993.
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:23.199
They didn't have much money at the time, uh, and they just gave everything to go on this trip.
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:37.519
While they were while they were at the revival meetings, um Claudio Friedson was preaching, and he invited uh, he said, I hear that there's some pastors from Canada that are in the room.
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:44.800
And uh, and so there was a there was just a few, maybe I don't know, let's say a dozen, I'm I'm not sure.
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:57.280
And he invited them all up onto the platform and he just went down the line giving them the anointing, meaning laying hands on their heads and moving on to the next one as each one went down, because they couldn't stand up.
00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:11.599
Well, when they got to Carol, when he got to Carol, Carol went off like a rocket again, and he got to John next to next to her, and John kind of instead of falling over, John could stand up.
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:17.920
And so he didn't really fall over, but he felt like a bit embarrassed, so he gave a bit of a courtesy drop onto his knees.
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:23.519
And uh and and he thought, well, that was very undramatic.
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:25.360
I guess I'm just not wired like that.
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:28.559
And Claudia moved on to the next person, bam, bam, bam.
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:33.039
Well, then Claudio whirled around and he came back to John and he said, Do you want it?
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:40.800
And John's like on his knees, sort of like this, with his hands out, and he's and he said, My first thought was, Do I want it?
00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:42.880
How what a ridiculous question.
00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:44.400
I've come all the way from Canada.
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:46.400
Yes, I want it, you know, type of thing.
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:49.199
But you know how you can have a thousand thoughts all at once.
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:58.400
And and John said, Yes, I want it, I want him, and Claudio just said, Well, then take it.
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:05.599
And he struck his hands, and John went bam! Yeah, it was like not like he was sledgehammered.
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:14.880
And John John learned a lot in that moment that actually receiving the anointing is really all about yielding, you know?
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:21.360
Yes, and a lot of people want God to kind of knock you over, but it's actually in the yielding that then he does.
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:22.159
Yes.
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:24.800
And so they go back to Canada.
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:47.840
And when they arrived back in Canada, they'd heard about uh a guy called Randy Clark, who'd never been out of um Missouri and was a pastor in Missouri, a vineyard pastor, and they'd heard that at a vineyard regional meeting gathering, the Holy Spirit had landed on everybody after Randy had been to Randy Clark's.
00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:59.760
Sorry, uh to uh Rodney How Brown's and so when John heard that he called up Randy, who he didn't really know he knew of him, but he called him up and said, I want you to come to my church.
00:41:59.920 --> 00:42:01.119
You must come to my church.
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:06.559
And so they agreed that on January the 20th, 1994, he would come to the church.
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:16.400
And he almost Randy was so scared because he'd never been out of America, he was so scared he almost didn't make it onto the airplane.
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:32.960
And but just as he was getting to the plane, he got a phone call from a friend of his that was praying for him, a businessman, and he prophesied this incredible prophecy over Randy that Randy would not only go to Canada, but it would start off he'd go all over the world.
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:41.920
And Randy's got a whole thing that the Lord gave him uh that he said to him in that moment, and and so Randy just came with courage in his heart.
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:48.239
And the first night there was 120 people gathered out of the 300.
00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:53.679
And it was just a Thursday night, just an ordinary Thursday night.
00:42:54.000 --> 00:43:02.559
Randy gets up after the worship, he shares a little testimony about what had happened at the regional meeting, and then he said, you know what?
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:08.159
If any it's better you know, we know now it's better felt than tell, type of thing.
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:09.760
And so he's like, you know what?
00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:16.159
If you like the anointing, if you want the Holy Spirit in your life, then just come out here to the front.
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:30.880
And John describes it like people were like, like Kate said about her the meetings that she was it was low-key when that guy prayed for her sister's ears, it was low-key, no hype, no organs, no music, no drums, nothing.
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:33.840
Just if you would like the Holy Spirit, come up to the front.
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:37.199
They all looked at each other, people like, yeah, I think that would be nice.
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:59.760
And just as they went to get up, the Holy Spirit came with his mighty thick, glorious presence, and everyone in the room was literally instantaneously filled with glory, laid out on the floor, nobody.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:01.199
Made it up to the front.
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:13.920
People were down on the ground under the chairs, screaming, crying, laughing, shaking, all the manifestations that have been at all the revivals throughout history.
00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:24.559
And Mary Audrey's one of the one of the assistant pastors, she's associate pastor, she was in a room next door in an equipping class.
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:30.559
And they could hear all the commotion, so she opened the door to see what in the world was happening.
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:34.159
And she said when she looked in the room, she couldn't see anybody.
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:36.000
And she thought, this is crazy.
00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:37.440
Where is everybody?
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:41.199
I can hear them loudest volume, but I can't see anyone.
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:43.199
Then she realized they're all under the chairs.
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:43.920
On the floor.
00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:45.119
On the floor.
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:48.880
Everyone, without exception, 120 of them out.
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:55.760
And the moment she comprehended that, she too just face planted right there.
00:44:55.920 --> 00:45:01.519
And John always says the biggest miracle of all was that Mary Audrey couldn't speak for 20 minutes.
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:06.880
They had a good relationship.
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:15.199
Ben and Jody, it was so sovereign and so fantastic.
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:24.000
John and Carol, it was what they had they had asked the Lord for for decades.
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:32.000
And they decided right there and then we're going to meet again tomorrow.
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:36.000
Well, they already had four nights planned anyway Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:46.239
But when Sunday night was over, by that time, like almost all the charismatic churches, Pentecostal churches in Toronto were all packing in.
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:49.920
And John decided, right, we're going to go Monday, Tuesday.
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.400
And that kept going for 12 years.
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:58.000
And he persuaded Randy to stay as long as he could, go home and turn back around.
00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:08.079
And then, you know, word of mouth, people were calling other pastors around the world, and that's when people started coming from all over the world, lining up.
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:13.840
Lining up round and round the building, because the building only fat fitted in about 500 people.
00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:16.079
And you know, and they couldn't get everyone in.
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:18.880
Canada in the winter and spring is not warm.
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:22.639
So people are lining up outside like we were in Asbury.
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:23.119
Yeah.
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:29.280
And we we commented to each other, we're like, we've never lined up for anything like this.
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:34.159
No, because by the time we we came to Toronto, we we came.
00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:37.519
You know, the new building was there and the fits about 6,000.
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:39.840
It kind of gave us a bit of an insight.
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:41.039
Wow, there's a hunger.
00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:42.159
I'm willing to wait.
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:47.599
I'm willing to line up for a place in this meeting because God's in the house.
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:48.639
Yeah, it was amazing.
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:50.639
So tell us about when you guys got there.
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:51.679
What was your experience?
00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:58.320
So you you you get this money given to you by God to buy your second ticket and you take off to Toronto.
00:46:58.400 --> 00:46:59.599
What was it like for you?
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:08.400
Wow, it it was just the most the the presence of God came with so much love and acceptance.
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:18.000
And Canadians are quite low-key as people, they're not expressive, exuberant like you know, Americans can be, personality-wise.
00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:30.159
But yet, whenever they prayed for you or touched you, laid hands on you, you just felt like wow, I can feel the power of God, I can feel the anointing just going through them.
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:42.079
And and and it was just so accessible, ordinary, and and yet there was there was an evidence that there was supernatural stuff happening all over the room.
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:53.519
People were prophesying, people were praying, people were falling out, people were crying, and on mass, and it was like, oh my goodness, we have never seen this before.
00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:55.039
And what is this?
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:57.440
This like this place is special.
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:05.599
Yeah, you see 3,000 people going like that, going ballistic in the Holy Spirit, all being touched, and it's just dramatic.
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:24.639
It it marks you, and you know, so we we we felt like um this was the most amazing thing we'd ever experienced, and um we were invited to a very small little gathering, a comp a little conference before the main conference.
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:30.159
So the main conference had about 3,000 people, but this one was only about uh less than 100 people, wasn't it?
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:41.039
Yeah, it was a church plant that we'd managed to get into because we had some friends from the UK who were part of the team volunteering for a year.
00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:47.360
And so we were gonna go and stay with them, and and we got invited to this church planting conference.
00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:53.280
So on the and and at the end of the sessions, the last session, they did this impartation.
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:54.639
Let's do the five.
00:48:58.559 --> 00:48:59.119
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:00.400
There was another bit.
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:01.039
Another story.
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:20.320
So this this this is this is important, then I'll let Kate tell about the impartation because so we came thinking that the revival and seeing, and what we saw with our eyes and heard with our ears, everything about it, it seemed like the power of God was on display, and that that's what the revival was about.
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:28.719
It was about manifestations of the spirit and just getting completely overwhelmed by God, God taking over, taking you over, type of thing.
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:36.639
And so that's what we thought it was all about before we went, from our friends, what they had shared, and also when we got there.
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:58.079
But within the first day, the first full day, at the end of the day, they had this um you could receive uh prophecy from a group of trained individuals that were trained in prophecy, and you could, you know, as part of this 60 group of people, we were uh uh invited to go and receive prophecy.
00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:18.159
So I'm lining up in this long lineup of the prophecy, and I'm just sharing with uh these two pastors, and I'm just gushing about myself, I mean about the Lord, and um I'm telling all these stories that making myself the hero, but trying to make Jesus the real hero.
00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:28.000
And all of a sudden, this this one guy said to his friend, you know, you know, I don't think Duncan's ever met his heavenly daddy, do you?
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:31.840
And the other one was like, No, I don't think he has.
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:50.880
And they both had the most kind of like kind of wimpy sounding voices and a little bit kind of like like, you know, and I'd you know, I'd been a not long earlier, I'd been a trained police officer, and you know, I I I was not used to people talking like that, if I could say it like that.
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:59.840
And this one guy goes, Yeah, would you like to receive your heavenly daddy's love, Duncan?
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:02.559
And I'm like, goodness sakes.
00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:08.639
Your voice just needs to get a whole lot more manly, first of all.
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:13.119
And secondly, stop calling God your heavenly daddy because that's irreverent.
00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:35.360
And and yes, I absolutely have never met God as my heavenly daddy, and I desperately need to meet him as my heavenly daddy, and all of those mixture thoughts all at once, and I just thought, okay, you know, I'm gonna, and for the first time in my life, I got in touch with the fact that I was terrified of love and that I'd never surrendered to love.
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:43.039
And I just, having been sent to boarding school, you just, you know, and so I just held my hands out like this, and I said, you know what?
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:46.480
I don't think I ever have called God my heavenly daddy.
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:48.320
I've never met him as my heavenly daddy.
00:51:48.559 --> 00:51:49.920
Well, would you like to now?
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:51.519
And I'm like, no.
00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:53.360
Yes.
00:51:54.159 --> 00:52:05.519
And I held my hands like this, and this guy he puts his hands like this and he pulls this sort of strange face, and I'm like, please do something with your wrists that everything's all wrong here, and change your face.
00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:07.360
But I just thought, shut your eyes, don't you?
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:08.480
Change your face.
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:11.199
Just shut your eyes and as your face.
00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:12.079
And just receive.
00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:25.039
And as I did that, Ben and Jody, I literally, it was like a locomotive steam train fell out of the sky on top of my head and just crushed me to the floor.
00:52:25.199 --> 00:52:33.199
Literally, I whimpered as I went and like, well, not quite like that, but I just whimpered down and was just crushed to the floor.
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:40.239
But at the same time, it felt like liquid golden honey that was somehow alive, just all over me.
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:47.679
And I just lay there in a pool of liquid golden honey as the father just spoke his love and words of affirmation.
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:49.840
And I heard him say, Duncan, I love you.
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:58.800
Wow, you are my wonderful and lovely son who I'm delighted in, and you're my beloved, and I I love you just as you are.
00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:01.039
And he just over and over and over again.
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:07.599
There's nothing that you could ever do that would cause me to love you more, and there's nothing that you could ever do that would cause me to love you less.
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:16.079
And I'm telling you, I don't know how long I was down there for, but the lineup to the prophecy was gone by the time I came around.
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:41.280
And when I got up, the sky was just so bluer, the grass was so greener, and I I I was late, so I walked home back to the hotel, and I I have been able to love Kate and our girls, and I've just been able to love in a way that I've never ever had been able to love before.
00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:42.000
Wow.
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:43.599
Just completely baptized.
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:57.840
It was a baptism of his love, and I mean he was like gushing because I'd actually gone back for a rest because we were jet-lagged, you know, we'd flown from the UK, and I was like, I'm gonna go rest so I can come back later.
00:53:58.159 --> 00:54:11.599
And um, but you we did end up having a prophetic word, and it was like, you know, we'd been go going through a time in the UK in the last couple of years where we're like, Lord, we just don't feel we're fitting.
00:54:11.760 --> 00:54:15.199
We know you've called us to something, we don't know what it looks like.
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:19.039
We know we're called to go to the nations, we we just don't know.
00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:25.679
And we we come to a place of abandonment and to to God and said, we can't make this happen anymore.
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:28.400
We're just gonna go to Toronto and receive.
00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:29.760
That's all we want to do.
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:40.400
But in the kindness and the goodness of God, we didn't realize we were gonna be colliding with our inheritance, our destiny, our future, our calling, and our calling in God.
00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:50.800
And we did actually have a prophetic word that God was gonna shoot us out like an arrow, and we're like, okay, all right, well, it's all in your hand.
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:58.719
And so at the end of this short conference, we they do an impartation session, and we're not used to that, you know.
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:00.960
Line up, everyone, we're gonna pray for you.
00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:03.840
We're like, okay, great, this is what we want.
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:08.800
And honestly, it was there was so much power of the Holy Spirit.
00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:10.239
We were on the ground.
00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:24.480
Duncan started pogoing, he started getting up and pogoing, and um, and then this prophet comes round, Jim, and he's like, You're gonna be Duncan Campbell, the revivalist, the revivalist.
00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:31.360
And I think it was the first time we'd ever sort of heard that over our lives, even though we'd been hungry for revival.
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:34.239
Yeah, that was like ceiling of the deal.
00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:38.960
And then after the meeting, there's John Arnett sort of hanging around.
00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:43.599
He'd already come up to me in the coffee break and said, Can we meet for lunch?
00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:59.599
And so when I finally came around having pogo sticked and found myself on the floor, I looked up and there's John Arnett standing over me with his great big hand out, uh, sort of over my face, you know, just in my pointing in my direction, and and talking to somebody.
00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:08.239
And I got up and I put his huge hand right on my chest, and I just held it there while I'm like out of it and drunk in the Holy Spirit.
00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:21.760
And I I I know John well enough now to know that he probably felt a little uncomfortable in that moment, but but he graciously just, you know, and I was just putting his hand on my heart lights, and then he pulled it away and he goes, and I crashed down to the ground again.
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:27.840
And he goes, he leans over and he says, Would you like to have lunch with me, or would you like to just stay in the Holy Spirit?
00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:32.400
And I said, If if it's okay with you, sir, I'm just gonna stay in the Holy Spirit.
00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:40.400
Because the Lord had just taken Kate and I on a journey leading up to that over the years where he'd taken all ambition out of our hearts.
00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:46.400
We're just like, we can't do anything, we've got to rely on God's leading, we're not gonna make this happen.
00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:52.800
So, you know, we didn't realise, but actually, that was a good thing that we turned John down.
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:53.280
Yeah.
00:56:53.440 --> 00:57:03.280
Um, and so we get up, the conference ends, we decide not to go to the big conference because it was like, wow, this is Well, we we had to get home from the we we had to yeah, fly home.
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:12.480
But before we did, we got in a car and drove to London, Ontario, to visit one of my cousins who had grown up in Canada.
00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:18.079
And um, so after we left, John Arnett started searching for us.
00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:22.400
What where's that couple, Duncan and Kate, and our friends who we were with?
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:24.559
They said, Oh, they've gone to London.
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:27.599
Now he's thinking, oh no, they've flown home.
00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:30.800
And and they were like, No, it's not London, England.
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:33.920
They've gone to London, Ontario, and they will be back tomorrow.
00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:37.360
But they're leaving the following 24 hours and then they're leaving.
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:42.079
And he said, Oh, well, please tell them when they come back, I want to meet them.
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:44.320
I I want to sit down and talk to them.
00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:49.280
So we we ended up having lunch on the day that we left that night for England.
00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:54.480
We had lunch with him in the as just as the conference was beginning in the lounge, speakers lounge.
00:57:54.800 --> 00:58:02.719
And John, the Lord had spoken to John when he first saw me at the previous 60 people conference.
00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:08.880
He said, John, that's the tall Englishman that I told you two years ago would be your first executive director.
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:09.519
There he is.
00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:12.719
Go and introduce yourself to him, go and meet him.
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:22.800
And so uh, you know, two or three days later, now he's having lunch with us, just as we were about to leave, and he said, Tell tell me your story.
00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:43.679
And so we we shared our very sorry story at that time a lot of brokenness, um, a lot of disappointments, and but also a lot of God taking us through the journey of putting us to death for the life of Christ in us and resurrecting, positioning us for resurrection of our calling, which he'd asked us to die to, and we had done that.
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:54.239
And uh, because I had worked as an evangelist doing large-scale crusades anywhere from 300, sorry, from 30,000 upwards to over 100,000.
00:58:54.400 --> 00:59:05.280
And the Lord had asked me to die to my calling, and so I'd walked away from that and and become a farmer for three years, which was what we were doing when we went to Toronto.
00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:29.519
And so we're telling the story to John and and business, and I'd got a master's in business management during that time, and so I'm telling we're telling John this, Kate and I, going backwards and forwards, telling the story with John, and we start tearing up, and uh and we're we're crying, and John goes, you know, I can really see that you both are limping.
00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:34.239
And uh I said, Yes, sir, we we are, we're limping.
00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:36.400
We're very much limping.
00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:51.760
And um, you know, because we had just gone through so much, and um he said, Well, I only look for a man and a woman who walk with a limp.
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.440
In fact, I only trust a person who walks with a limp.
00:59:55.920 --> 00:59:59.039
And he put his hand on my shoulder when he said that.
00:59:59.360 --> 01:00:00.880
Because I was, you know, crying.
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:02.000
So was Kate.
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:06.159
And and uh he said, I'd love for you to come and join my team.
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:08.480
And we were just flabbergasted.
01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:09.519
We were like, What?
01:00:09.679 --> 01:00:10.559
We were like, What?
01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:15.039
No one's ever been as nice as that to us, any leader in our life.
01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:27.760
Yeah, I mean, you know, when we tried to impress, put on our impressive selves, we weren't invited, and here we are in our very unimpressive selves.
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:31.920
We're getting invited, and it was just amazing.
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:41.440
And, you know, of course, I said something like daft, like, well, um, well, well, really, we thank you very much.
01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:45.760
That's very kind of you, and and we will need to go back to England and and really pray about this.
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:47.199
Thank you so much, David.
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:48.320
Inside.
01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:52.559
And inside, we're like, no, we don't really need to pray about this.
01:00:52.719 --> 01:00:57.519
Like coming and being part of this church and in this environment of the presence of God.
01:00:58.159 --> 01:01:01.039
No, and I said, listen, I'll clean the toilets for you, sir.
01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:05.840
You this is you guys are the most loving people that we've ever met in our whole lives.
01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:10.719
And he he he sort of laughed and said, I think we'll have you doing a bit more than that.
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:14.239
And and so, and so we left.
01:01:14.400 --> 01:01:22.719
And now I had I had serious business plans with a business partner that we were about to launch a new business in fine foods.
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:29.280
And um I had to go back and tell him I'm ever so sorry, but we got the offer of a lifetime.
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:39.440
And he understood because he, you know, he he was a believer, and um actually, coincidentally, he went on and became a multi-millionaire with those plans.
01:01:39.519 --> 01:01:45.199
I'd met him seven years later, but I became a millionaire in souls instead.
01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:46.559
Yeah, wow, that's fair.
01:01:46.719 --> 01:01:46.960
Come on.
01:01:48.960 --> 01:02:00.159
But Kate and I, you know, we we we came back to Canada, we joined the team, and within three months, John appointed me the executive director.
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:03.679
Uh, much to the surprise of the entire team.
01:02:03.840 --> 01:02:11.760
There was 160 staff and about 10 directors at the time, gigantic multimillion dollar budget, of course.
01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:19.199
And the nation's coming, like I'm talking a thousand people a night, every single night.
01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:23.599
Although after six months, they did take off, we did take off Mondays.
01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:28.079
So just imagine that for 12 years, and we came in around about year five.
01:02:28.559 --> 01:02:33.360
And and there was a conference every month, and the whole room was filled.
01:02:33.599 --> 01:02:45.280
Oh, I mean, it was two, three thousand people at a big conference, and so we we start meeting all these anointed men and women of God, and we're like, wow, what is this?
01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:47.119
You know, this is just incredible.
01:02:47.280 --> 01:03:12.320
And just to sit under that, and you know, we got stuck into the local church as well very much because uh we had our children, and um we did several different roles, but one of the big ones was that Duncan helped John in the reorganization following um the Twin Towers, um, that stopped a lot of people traveling in, especially from the US.
01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:17.119
And then there was a like a SARS-CoV-virus in 2003.
01:03:18.639 --> 01:03:42.000
So there was like it was a season of change and innovation, and what we didn't realize that that what had been a gathering place of revival, God was turning the switch and making it like a scattering phase and was kind of h helping us reposition as a ministry to start going to the nations ourselves a lot more.
01:03:42.079 --> 01:04:02.800
So the nations came to us for 12 years, but then after that, we just launched Catch the Fire, renamed Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship to uh well, we didn't rename Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, but we we renamed we we named a new part of the expression of the ministry, the outward expression of the ministry around the world.
01:04:02.880 --> 01:04:04.559
We named it Catch the Fire.
01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:10.079
And uh we started just doing all kinds of events all over the world.
01:04:10.239 --> 01:04:11.599
Many in the team did that.
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:12.880
Later schools.
01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:17.119
I was really pioneering that in the uh developing nations of the world.
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:20.719
John was really going for it all over the world already, many others were.
01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:37.679
And and during that time, we would we were sort of you know training and equipping, and pastors were getting, you know, wrecked and wonderfully touched in the Holy Spirit, and their churches were getting turned upside down in a wonderful, healthy way and turned inside out.
01:04:38.000 --> 01:04:42.239
And revival was exploding around the world, and still is, by the way.
01:04:42.320 --> 01:04:46.400
We're still in this same revival, it's just going all the way to the nations now.
01:04:46.880 --> 01:05:01.440
And the the amazing thing, though, was that we began, the Holy Spirit began to show us, particularly Kate and I, that um the revival was really all about God coming to dwell with us.
01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:06.960
He wasn't just that old cliche of he didn't just come for a visitation, he was looking for a habitation.
01:05:07.679 --> 01:05:22.960
And we realized that January the 20th, 1994, God, the essence of catch the fire and the essence of the revival was really that God saw in John and Carol and the people of the church, he saw a people that were so attractive to him.
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:24.880
He just came and dwelt there.
01:05:25.599 --> 01:05:27.760
And and he's never left.
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:36.239
And now we're we he he began to just show us a vision of really planting dwelling places all over the world.
01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:48.960
And we're sitting here now in Raleigh, North Carolina, because after eight years in Toronto, the Lord spoke to Kate and I and asked us to go and plant a dwelling place of his presence in Raleigh, North Carolina.
01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:59.199
And that started a whole church planting phase, and now we have hundreds of catch the fire churches all around the world, and so we've gone from the gathering phase to the scattering phase.
01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:05.119
Now we're in the planting and building phase of this revival and it's just so exciting.
01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:06.320
What the hell is it?
01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:24.480
Weaving together of the details though in that even like you know Rodney Howard Brown, Rodney Clark, yeah, you know.
01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:26.159
And Rodney Bonkey comes in.
01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:30.000
You guys hunger and then boom, look at it all around the world.
01:06:30.079 --> 01:06:30.239
Yeah.
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:31.360
You know, it's incredible.
01:06:31.519 --> 01:06:41.679
I think of all of our revival friends, you know, everyone who loves the presence, I mean there's very, very few that weren't touched by Toronto and by what God did.
01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:50.960
You know, even on the other side of the world in New Zealand, we were in New Zealand at the time and I remember one of the things that marked Toronto for me so much was the contagiousness of it.
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:56.719
You know, people would come and they'd go back and it would just break out in their churches.
01:06:56.800 --> 01:06:59.119
And I remember in New Zealand that's what's happening.
01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:02.400
Yeah, and it's fairly as far away as you can get to keep going.
01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:12.719
And I remember the pastor of a church I I used to visit they really had no idea about the things of the presence of God, you know they weren't revivalists.
01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:18.880
They weren't you know and they went they came back and all of a sudden caberned is like it's breaking out everywhere.
01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:24.400
I actually fell out for the first time myself before when that person came back from Toronto.
01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:26.480
Really I've completely fallen out.
01:07:26.639 --> 01:07:26.960
Yeah.
01:07:27.199 --> 01:07:37.199
Wow and uh and of course it was just I mean I you know the presence of God is just breaking out everywhere and uh and it's incredible.
01:07:37.280 --> 01:07:44.400
So even today all these years later you know what is it I guess it's 30 years later 31 years 32 years later.
01:07:44.719 --> 01:08:15.519
Cracky all these years later it's still rolling and hearing you talk about it waves of it kidding me all over again it's it's so gone do it again gone so special we lined up for revival with you guys and that was that really was a very special moment and I remember like Kate said you know we had never lined up like that.
01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:26.479
We were privileged and didn't realize because we got front row seats and we got straight in and speakers lounges and all of those things and spoke and so on.
01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:50.399
And now the Holy Spirit moves in Asbury and we just said to each other we've got to go and when we went we got there and there was a lineup that was so long it took the entire day and spending the whole day then we bump into you and we spend at least half of that day maybe longer with you two.
01:08:51.119 --> 01:09:00.720
And the Holy Spirit just knit our hearts together and ah feeling his presence all over me right now.
01:09:00.960 --> 01:09:19.680
Well I think that's the thing isn't it that the transference but also like recognizing one another by the spirit and recognizing it's like oh yeah this is the same flow it's the same flow of the Holy Spirit that I'm feeling yes and I'm experiencing hunger draws you in.
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:29.039
It does it's that deep calls to deep you know totally yeah and I I well we were on vacation in Florida and heard of we You just finished the boot camp.
01:09:29.119 --> 01:10:13.039
Yeah but we heard about it we watched for about a day and we still had vacation left and we all looked at each other and went forget the vacation we're gone and we jump in the car from yeah and that and that and that right there's the difference Jody see yeah there were many many people in America at that time and many of them just went on vacation but you didn't you went and you lined up and you lined up for only one thing you money you wanted to meet with Jesus and you wanted to honor him because he's moving and and you know we saw that in you both and and it just bonded our hearts to you.
01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:52.399
Your eyes were fiery yeah and and I can remember do you remember it got to around about six o'clock in the evening and the lineup was slowly inching its way all the way and we you know we went about I don't know however long it was felt like a half a mile we finally get to within you know we could just you could just see the steps and the building and the door and we're like we're probably an hour away and we're like oh Lord just please somehow somehow Lord because we'd heard we'd heard that they were going to shut the doors and that was it.
01:10:52.720 --> 01:10:58.720
I remember and I can remember we all prayed the prayer of agreement that somehow we'd get in.
01:10:59.039 --> 01:12:01.119
Yes and we inched our way up those stairs and it was nail biting whether we'd get in or not and Kate and I got in and you two seats together they gave us four seats together and then they shut the doors not long after yeah and there was a lineup behind the brow of the balcony yeah there was a lineup behind us that was as long as it was in the morning yeah yeah yeah yeah praise God we got in well I I was I was I was amazed with you guys as well because knowing who you were knowing your history Toronto but I remember Duncan you specifically saying you know we're just we're just hungry we're just here to learn and just to receive and um the fact that you guys would spend all those hours still hungry you know um that's right still hungry still chasing Jesus not there at all with some kind of like you know I'm all that in a bag of chips and uh with oh we've had this before you know and um but just that that humility to line up and be hungry for his presence.
01:12:01.439 --> 01:12:20.159
I tell you man I pray that we never ever ever lose that I pray that we never lose that no and yeah the four of us and even those listening may we never lose that no matter how disappointed yeah you know whatever the journey stay hungry because God answers hunger.
01:12:20.319 --> 01:12:30.640
So we always say hunger's the runway for revival and doing our own hunger there's no one else that's gonna make us hungry other than ourselves saying I'm still hungry.
01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:36.399
Wow I've got to have more and that's why I love conversations like this because it just hits you again.
01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:40.640
We're not hungry for something that isn't real we're hungry for something that is real.
01:12:40.800 --> 01:12:44.960
Yes it's Jesus and it's moving on the earth and we've got to have more of it.
01:12:45.199 --> 01:14:09.039
Come on Jody more of him for sure I mean we were we were just visiting John and Carol Arnold last week just to go and hang out with them as stay in their home and they are still still after God's presence oh my goodness do not let go and I'm like Lord if we could just remain like them just pursuing him pursuing him again and again just getting excited that God is still moving in different nations that they're going to it's like that's all we need we need to remain childlike and yeah so amazing amazing now you guys are traveling nonstop um we'll always see you on a plane somewhere else I think you're you know and um all around the world what are you seeing God do around the world what's the general vibe right now in this season oh it there's an awakening all over the nations especially among the young people especially among Gen Z hungry hungry hungry hungry across across denominations as well and you know it's not just in Pentecostal movements or charismatic churches there's a hunger for God that is coming again in a in a generation and you know we've we're seeing that in many different churches many different um nations so it's not like a Western thing is like happening all over the place.
01:14:09.279 --> 01:14:28.960
Yeah and and I think actually there's there's a desire again for the authentic outpouring of the Holy Spirit with church leaders you know many leaders came to Toronto received an impartation their ministries changed and then they got back into the program.
01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:51.279
And it's like the programs are good but without the Holy Spirit the programs have no substance and I think we're seeing people saying wow I was touched 20 30 years ago and there's a real stirring in me again that my church and that we would experience that again um for another generation.
01:14:51.760 --> 01:15:29.520
And so we're we're seeing that as well that people are like asking us questions how do you stay in revival how how what do we need to do to get back to this yeah just like yes like Jody said and what do you tell those yeah well it's what Jody said stay hungry stay thirsty you know and um I I think as well though guys that you know the Holy Spirit spoke to me in Bangladesh and he said we we had we had gone to this incre this meeting that the Holy Spirit set up was three days of meetings with with about 300 pastors.
01:15:29.680 --> 01:16:17.199
Many of them had just come out of the Himalayan mountains foothills of the Himalayas without any knowledge of the meeting just the Holy Spirit said go to such and such a place such and such a time such and such a date and and when you're in a meeting like that and you hear that that's how people have heard to come you suddenly get very very serious about and sober about well Lord don't let me blow this you know and and the first night we're I was with a team and um one of the guys that I was with I have a huge amount of respect for and he said you know I really feel like we should do the baptism of the Holy Spirit and I said well I just I'm not sure I I feel like maybe we could come to that at the end.
01:16:17.359 --> 01:16:30.800
And he's like no I just really feel this strong conviction on it and he he loves he loves that you know in a in a good way and um and so he went for it and the meeting just didn't really go anywhere.
01:16:31.039 --> 01:16:36.720
And I and that's not on him it wouldn't have gone anywhere if I'd been doing it on that subject.
01:16:39.119 --> 01:16:46.640
Yes that well that night I was very jet lagged you can't go any further than Dhaka Bangladesh without coming back to yourself.
01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:53.600
And I I I was lying in my bed trying to sleep and I and I was like Lord where did we go wrong tonight?
01:16:53.840 --> 01:17:06.640
And I felt the Holy Spirit say this He said to me Duncan and I knew he was meaning what you call revival saying revival is the fruit that grows on the tree of the values of the kingdom.
01:17:08.079 --> 01:17:33.920
If you put the values of the kingdom and the values of the kingdom being the love of the Father intimacy with Jesus through the cross union with Christ the oneness with Christ and ministering and um healing of life's hurts hearing the voice of God then ministering in the power of the Spirit is like an is just it's like the supernatural overflow of love filled hearts.
01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:43.279
And so that's what we did the next three days we taught them how to hear the voice of God we taught them how to to walk in the Father's love got them all baptized in the Father's love.
01:17:43.680 --> 01:18:16.720
God that began to start the journey of healing of life's hurts the importance of forgiveness flowing in the grace of God instead of demanding justice staying free of bitter root judgments and inner vows and staying clear of ungodly beliefs in the mind and by the end of those three days when we redid the baptism of the Holy Spirit oh my goodness the place blew up and they all got absolutely so baptized with power that uh we've heard phenomenal reports from what God did afterwards.
01:18:16.960 --> 01:19:13.920
So I learned a lesson right there Ben that that if you go for if you go for the manifestations and if you go for a move of God um it might not happen in the way you hope but if you humble your heart and position your heart to be to encounter the Father in his love to encounter the Son in his grace and your union with him through the cross and burial and resurrection of Jesus and then being introduced to the Holy Spirit that's what will bring you into revival you know you've talked about it a lot but what really did mark what God was doing through Toronto and it was really an a reintroduction or a I don't know what how you describe that to the whole body um about the father's love.
01:19:14.880 --> 01:19:23.600
You know um share share just about that revelation um you know and just just talk about that for a minute.
01:19:23.760 --> 01:19:28.079
Just okay that reintroduction of that that revelation of the father's love and how it changed things.
01:19:28.720 --> 01:20:16.640
Yeah I mean I think we'd always we'd always known Jesus you know we're we meet Jesus when we get saved we we encounter his grace we're we're saved by grace but it's almost like but beware of the father he's harsh and you know for all of us we've had our own filter lenses of our own dads and you know many of them were less than perfect as we know and there was wounded in our heart that kind of well I'm not sure I want to meet Abba father because I'm not sure I can trust that yeah I don't I Jesus is my big brother he's my savior I'm grateful and you know the Holy Spirit he comes with his power but I'm not sure about the love thing.
01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:18.319
I'm not comfortable with love.
01:20:18.720 --> 01:20:42.560
Yes and I think you know the the position of rest as a son or a daughter is really founded in that depth of of love the love of God and I think when we went to Toronto we we actually didn't realize we were hungry for something that we didn't know we needed so much.
01:20:43.199 --> 01:21:49.600
It was like we we always thought it was about serving God working hard for him and just getting by I'm happy to be a servant Jesus to you but not realizing that actually the Father's plan and his heart for us would be that we would marked be marked by adoption as his sons and daughters and that we would have a place and a position of inheritance and we could minister in that place of rest and and so those initial years in Toronto were about meeting our heavenly dad for the first time and and you know having ministry from icons like Jack Frost and Jack Winter and um Ed Pure Ed Purek you know who has a message on um what's the loving father the the loving father but the love that finds you the love that finds you in your brokenness you know the the the part of you that tries to portray and project a super me.
01:21:50.000 --> 01:22:35.359
I'm anointed I'm a man of God I'm a woman of God look at me that that is the search for significance the search for significance in ministry making a name for ourselves creating a platform is like all that stuff began to fall away as we realized we don't need to try we we can rest yeah but our our daddy sees us he he knows where we should be and you know that sovereign move that we made to Toronto where God just lined us up with our future and you know we didn't have to try hard for that we received it as a gift and I think that's been the biggest impact for us then come on that Father we we just want to go where you want us to go.
01:22:35.520 --> 01:22:42.720
Yes we're like we don't have to be in the in crowd no you know we don't give away a business card we don't have a business card.
01:22:43.119 --> 01:22:51.279
We don't need to do that because we can trust you with our lives and we're we're following you and being loved by you.
01:22:54.079 --> 01:23:59.520
And you know that there there's just something that when you encounter love it increases your capacity to be able to see others and love others just for who they are and and that's just been something that we live by that you know even in our local church we we've got relationships and and and people say to us you're just so ordinary you're approachable we can talk to you you don't disappear to a green room between services and we're like of course this is our family this is who God's given us to be family together with so you know we we we just hope we can live a life where people are valued you know yeah we love to we love to walk in God's love and give it away Ben and Jane you know wow we certainly do that we do that's what one of the things we love about you you guys really do exemplify that we've never really had the privilege to get to know uh John and Carol um at all but even just from a distance you can tell that that's something they they really walk in as well.
01:23:59.760 --> 01:24:00.880
You're gonna meet them in Brazil.
01:24:01.119 --> 01:24:02.159
You're gonna love them.
01:24:02.319 --> 01:24:44.239
Yes they're gonna love you especially after this conversation you know this is such a big this is a it's a very vital key that I think still needs a whole other level of revelation amongst so many because there are many who still walk very much in a that orphan mindset in and not really realizing that you know they are they're a son or a daughter you know um of the most high God and it literally changes everything you know I know the fathers did a real work in us with that as well you know like there's no higher title that you can have in the whole universe than being a son of God.
01:24:44.640 --> 01:27:20.319
Come on amazing well we can tell you two walk in love you know you walk in the love of your heavenly father you just do you guys you guys ooze sonship you know yeah wow I'm wondering if while we're talking about this if you can just release that over everyone because you can tangibly feel it here right now yeah wow go for it yeah holy spirit thank you that you're with us all thank you that you're here in this conversation and you're here with every person watching and listening right now thank you for your great love Abba Daddy that we get to call you daddy in that most intimate name not in a reverence but just in pure love that pure acceptance and and we we so need that love and I I pray for every person that listening watching that right now you would just call on them with a blanket of your love that they would encounter and have a baptism in the Father's love in your great love one that like supersedes all our brokenness all our defenses all our disappointments but a love that just overcomes and drives out all fear in our lives and and that you would just position our hearts to receive in a tangible fresh way that would silence the voice of the enemy and I and I just even see now that the father's love and his reassuring presence and and voice is just silencing the accusations and the shame that the enemy has tried to put on people's minds and people's hearts and and and that he's breaking yokes right now even even as he comes and and I just encourage everyone just just let those waves because they come love comes in waves just let those waves just come to that little achy breaky heart that little boy that little girl that didn't receive that love or affirmation from your own father or father figure and maybe ones that have really hurt you and abused you know that his love will come and you just begin to receive receive that pure love that comes from God.
01:27:20.560 --> 01:28:02.239
Yeah I'm a little wrecked listen if anybody's watching if you're watching right now and you've stayed this long first of all done congratulations um if you're feeling something right now what you're feeling is the love of God the very real love of Jesus is real the Father's love and this is what we've all encountered what we've all experienced and honestly Christianity Is not about a religion at all.
01:28:02.399 --> 01:28:04.720
It's not about a list of do's and don'ts.
01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:06.079
It's not about things.
01:28:06.239 --> 01:28:13.119
You know, I was talking to a server, a waitress in a restaurant just this weekend, and I was asking her about Jesus.
01:28:13.199 --> 01:28:19.520
And she says, Well, I'm not really ready to give my life to Jesus because I'm not ready to go to church.
01:28:19.600 --> 01:28:20.560
I'm not ready to do this.
01:28:20.720 --> 01:28:22.000
I'm not ready to do that.
01:28:22.239 --> 01:28:28.319
And what it revealed was that thinking that somehow a relationship with Jesus was a list of things that you have to do.
01:28:28.640 --> 01:28:28.880
Wow.
01:28:29.119 --> 01:28:30.560
And it's not about that at all.
01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:37.840
It was about her saying yes to Jesus and accepting him into her life and being able to walk with him every day.
01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:42.800
Jesus paid a terrible price so he could be in a relationship with you.
01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:49.359
Not to get you in his club, not to get you into some church or anything else, but because he just wanted to be with you.
01:28:49.760 --> 01:28:54.399
The Bible calls him Emmanuel, God with us, God with us.
01:28:54.960 --> 01:28:58.239
It starts with just simply saying yes to Jesus.
01:28:58.479 --> 01:29:02.159
In Acts 2.21, it says, Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:02.560
That's it.
01:29:02.720 --> 01:29:04.079
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord.
01:29:04.159 --> 01:29:10.000
So if you want to do that right now, go ahead in the comments, just put yes, Jesus, and just pray this prayer with me.
01:29:10.079 --> 01:29:10.399
Right now.
01:29:10.479 --> 01:29:11.760
Just say out loud where you are.
01:29:11.840 --> 01:29:13.119
Just say, Jesus.
01:29:13.600 --> 01:29:15.039
I say yes to you.
01:29:16.079 --> 01:29:17.279
I give you my life.
01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:20.319
And I receive what you did for me.
01:29:21.520 --> 01:29:23.359
Please forgive me for my sin.
01:29:24.800 --> 01:29:25.840
Make me brand new.
01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:27.680
Be my Lord.
01:29:28.640 --> 01:29:29.439
Be my savior.
01:29:30.399 --> 01:29:31.119
Be my father.
01:29:31.439 --> 01:29:32.000
Be my father.
01:29:32.239 --> 01:29:32.960
Thank you, Jesus.
01:29:33.199 --> 01:29:33.680
Thank you, Jesus.
01:29:34.000 --> 01:29:34.399
Amen.
01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:34.960
Amen.
01:29:35.359 --> 01:29:35.600
Amen.
01:29:36.159 --> 01:29:36.399
Amen.
01:29:37.279 --> 01:29:41.119
Friend, if you just did that, I want to tell you, you just became brand new.
01:29:41.680 --> 01:29:45.039
There's a book in heaven called The Lamb's Book of Life, a real book.
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:50.319
And right now, angels or the father, somebody, I don't know who the Bible doesn't tell us.
01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:56.560
Someone is writing your name in that book right now, in the actual Lamb's Book of Life.
01:29:56.800 --> 01:29:57.119
Come on.
01:29:57.359 --> 01:29:59.600
Go to the link on our website when this is over.
01:29:59.680 --> 01:30:00.880
It's also in the description.
01:30:01.039 --> 01:30:02.880
Pour it out.org slash Jesus.
01:30:03.039 --> 01:30:05.199
We've got some further resources and out there for you.
01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:08.000
And welcome, welcome to the family of God.
01:30:08.239 --> 01:30:08.479
Come on.
01:30:08.880 --> 01:30:09.760
You just got saved.
01:30:09.840 --> 01:30:11.039
Your sins were forgetting.
01:30:11.199 --> 01:30:13.920
It just became brand spanking new.
01:30:14.079 --> 01:30:14.479
Come on.
01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:15.279
Come on.
01:30:15.920 --> 01:30:16.399
Well.
01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:20.159
Well, um, well, Duncan and Kate, we're not quite done.
01:30:20.319 --> 01:30:20.960
Not quite done.
01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:31.039
If if this was the last podcast, the last recording, the last record of you guys ever, what would you like to have said?
01:30:31.199 --> 01:30:33.199
What would you like to have been recorded?
01:30:35.279 --> 01:31:12.640
Well, when you were asking earlier about what is God doing right now, what we have been really sort of carrying and kind of feel a burden for is that another generation will get to tell their story of encountering God in his love and experiencing their own revival outpouring and not to be a spectator of something that happened back in 1994, but actually no, this this is for me and my generation.
01:31:13.359 --> 01:31:32.399
That you know, our prayer is that our grandchildren who are you know part of our church and part of our family, of course, but they would themselves realize that they are the carriers of the kingdom and revival for their generation, for their time.
01:31:32.800 --> 01:31:57.840
And even though we see in the world things are getting hard and difficult, and it really feels like we're coming close to the end, that these young people would have such a fire, just like we were when we were young, just like you two were when you first really that that would be the same thing, that the gospel of the kingdom would just grip them in the same way.
01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:00.319
That that's what I'm really burning for right now.
01:32:01.039 --> 01:32:03.600
That's making me cry, Kay, when I say amen to that.
01:32:03.760 --> 01:32:05.039
That's the cry of our hats.
01:32:05.920 --> 01:32:06.399
Yes.
01:32:06.640 --> 01:32:17.840
And I think that I would just add simply that if this was the last thing that I could ever say, it would be this that may we always remember that it's all about Jesus.
01:32:18.319 --> 01:32:21.439
It's all for him, it's all by him, and it's all through him.
01:32:21.680 --> 01:32:31.760
So even when we're baptized in the Father's love, it's really that experience is really ultimately for Jesus.
01:32:32.399 --> 01:32:43.439
Because we get to be sons just like him, and we get to love him with daddy's love, which is the only love that he's actually worthy of being loved with.
01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:52.079
And you even if it's the healing of of our hearts and healing of our bodies, yes, it's for us, but it's really all for Jesus.
01:32:52.479 --> 01:32:59.600
So that we can just love him so, so very well because he's worthy of that love, because that's the love he's loved us with.
01:33:00.079 --> 01:33:07.359
And so may we always love him with his love, and may he we may he always be pleased with us.
01:33:07.920 --> 01:33:11.600
And so I think that it's it's so all for Jesus.
01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:39.279
Everything is all about him, and every encounter that we ever have, it's it's it's so easy for us to get caught up in ourselves in that encounter, but but when we remember that that very encounter is really all for him, then that's when we really find our the fullness of joy, because we were created to live lives that are worthy of him and pleasing to him.
01:33:39.680 --> 01:33:49.840
And really, you know, it was the Moravians who who really caught that and just said, May the Lamb receive the reward of his suffering, the nation as his inheritance.
01:33:50.720 --> 01:33:56.960
And and that's that's the last words that I would want anybody to hear from my lips.
01:33:57.119 --> 01:34:08.000
That may my life, Kate's life, your lives, and the lives of every every human being, may our lives be fully lived out all for Jesus.
01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:09.279
Yeah, amen.
01:34:10.159 --> 01:34:18.239
I know the longer we've talked, I think it would be fair to say it's like from um the Bible where they said, Did not our hearts burn within our lives?
01:34:21.199 --> 01:34:26.000
And I know that I know that the presence of revival is here, which is Jesus.
01:34:26.239 --> 01:34:42.479
Holy Spirit is in this conversation, and you guys, as we've said, you head up, you carry that, you head up a global movement that was birthed in probably the most or one of the most significant modern revival movements of this generation, and we need a new one.
01:34:42.640 --> 01:34:44.000
Can you just release the fire over?
01:34:44.399 --> 01:34:45.359
You guys carry it on.
01:34:45.520 --> 01:34:48.479
You literally pour it out.
01:34:48.800 --> 01:35:09.279
In the mighty name of Jesus, we ask you, Father, that you would pour out your fire on every single one of us, on every person who ever listens to this, watches it on YouTube, listens to the podcast, fire on all of you in the mighty name of Jesus.
01:35:09.520 --> 01:35:26.800
Father, we ask you that you would literally pour out uh unprecedented level of glory and anointing and the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the likes of which no other generation has ever, ever experienced in all of history.
01:35:27.039 --> 01:35:34.399
Lord, would you just pour, would you pour out your spirit upon us, upon the next generation, upon Gen Z and Gen Alphas?
01:35:34.640 --> 01:35:49.439
And Lord, may it be the greatest revival that never ends and ushers in the return of the king, the return of our beloved Jesus, riding on the clouds with the great trumpet blast and uh the great victory.
01:35:49.680 --> 01:35:57.439
So, Lord, prepare your bride, prepare the world, and come in global revival fire in Jesus' mighty name.
01:35:57.600 --> 01:36:02.159
Lord, we pray for billions of souls to be safe in our lifetimes.
01:36:03.199 --> 01:36:18.560
Yes, and and I add to that prayer, and every person watching and listening, that you would know that you are a carrier of the fire and the presence of God, that there would literally be like heat coming out of your hands.
01:36:18.880 --> 01:36:20.720
You just feel that intensity.
01:36:20.880 --> 01:36:24.880
Some of you are experiencing that fire in your body.
01:36:24.960 --> 01:36:40.000
You have been marked by the kingdom of heaven, by God Himself, and He's He's like putting a torch in your hand, and and for you to run with and to carry, like the Olympic torch that we we all run our race.
01:36:40.159 --> 01:36:51.119
And I just see that the Holy Spirit is as anointing many of you right now, just with a boldness and a confidence that comes from the baptism of fire.
01:36:51.279 --> 01:37:02.479
So just every heart, just receive and let the glory of heaven just come on your life and see him lead you and direct you in ways that you've not even thought possible.
01:37:02.720 --> 01:37:03.039
Yeah.
01:37:03.359 --> 01:37:03.920
Amen.
01:37:04.079 --> 01:37:05.680
In Jesus' name, amen.
01:37:06.159 --> 01:37:06.560
Amen.
01:37:07.920 --> 01:37:10.319
I'm feeling that my hands are burning.
01:37:10.560 --> 01:37:16.000
I know those listening are just get it, guys, get it.
01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:23.119
You're bringing it down with us.
01:37:24.880 --> 01:37:25.760
That's good.
01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:26.560
That's good.
01:37:26.800 --> 01:37:27.680
That fine wine.
01:37:27.840 --> 01:37:28.560
That fine wine.
01:37:29.680 --> 01:37:30.960
We love and honor you so much.
01:37:31.039 --> 01:37:34.159
Yeah, and it's trillion honored for you to take the time to be with us today.
01:37:34.800 --> 01:37:35.760
And uh honor for you.
01:37:35.920 --> 01:37:37.840
We can't wait to hang out in Brazil very soon.
01:37:41.279 --> 01:37:42.800
It is gonna be so amazing.
01:37:43.439 --> 01:37:47.920
Duncan and Kate Smith, thank you for coming on Encounter Ball.
01:38:07.039 --> 01:38:07.600
Thank you guys.
01:38:07.840 --> 01:38:09.439
So good, so so good.
01:38:10.560 --> 01:38:11.600
Man, amen.
01:38:11.920 --> 01:38:12.479
Oh, that's amazing.
01:38:13.840 --> 01:38:16.399
Ben and Jody That was phenomenal.
01:38:16.560 --> 01:38:17.600
My heart is burning.
01:38:17.760 --> 01:38:19.199
Listen, you know me too.
01:38:19.520 --> 01:38:29.600
Just being around you, I just feel like, gosh, the there's like this fire coming off the screen from you, and I'm like, holy spirit, you're not finished, are you?
01:38:29.840 --> 01:38:30.880
There's so much more.
01:38:32.000 --> 01:38:32.640
He's not.
01:38:32.880 --> 01:38:35.119
No, no, he's sure as Lenin.
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.639
And the moment was just absolutely the deepest terror that I could possibly describe.
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.080
And suddenly I became aware that I wasn't the only one screaming.
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:15.039
There was like hundreds and then thousands of voices screaming.
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:19.359
And then it and then it occurred to me in the dream, oh my goodness, I'm in hell.
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.760
An evidence that there was supernatural stuff happening all over the room.
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:28.480
People were prophesying, people were praying, people were falling out, people were crying.
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:29.839
En masse.
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.880
And it was like, oh my goodness, we've never seen this before.
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.880
I said to them, guys, your eyes are like, they're like on fire.
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:40.960
It's like your faces are shining.
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.159
What's going on?
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.920
What have you got that I don't have, you know, in my 20-year-old innocence?
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.439
And they're like, Well, well, Duncan, we're baptized in the Holy Spirit.
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.960
And I'm like, the who?
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.439
Like the Holy Spirit, come up to the front.
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.799
They all looked at each other, people like, yeah, I think that would be nice.
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:08.560
And just as they went to get up, the Holy Spirit came with his mighty thick, glorious presence.
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:16.319
And everyone in the room was literally instantaneously filled with glory.
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.319
Laid out on the floor.
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:29.680
You head up a global movement that was birthed in probably the most or one of the most significant modern revival movements of this generation, and we need a new one.
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.359
Can you just release the fire over it?
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:32.480
You guys carry it on.
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.560
You literally catch the fire.
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:35.680
Let's pour it out.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.079
In the mighty name of Jesus.
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.599
Well, hey guys, welcome to Encounter Vall with Ben and Jody Hughes.
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:57.040
I say this every time, but we have a very, very special episode for you today.
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:16.080
We talk with our amazing, amazing friends, Duncan and Kate Smith, who are the global presidents of Catch the Fire, which of course is the movement that came out of the Toronto, blessing, the Toronto revival, the Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship that literally touched the world in 12 years of revival.
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:22.080
And we talk about things today, including how that revival started, things that we had never heard about.
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:31.199
Stories of hunger and just the pursuit of God that literally led to a world-changing, world-shaking move of God.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:32.479
Yeah, the backstory.
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:33.840
We've literally just finished.
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:38.080
My the only way I can describe it, guys, is did our hearts not burn within us?
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.800
I'm I'm completely wrecked, I'm undone.
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:42.080
You will be too.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.400
There's such a release of the Father's love.
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.400
There's a release of the fire of God.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:47.439
Stick with this.
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.360
The story will expand your hunger and art for God.
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.280
And the prayers at the end, guys.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:53.759
Yeah.
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:54.639
Listen.
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:56.080
Get wrecked by them.
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.080
There's such a lingering of his presence.
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.680
I feel like Jody said, when she said that, did her hearts not burn?
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:02.800
My heart is burning.
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:03.840
My heart is burning right.
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.800
Well, listen, she made it, she made a comment and I want to repeat it because I want you to watch it.
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.879
We asked, you know, it's a simple question, what's the cry of your heart right now?
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:23.759
And Kate answered and she said, for another generation to be marked by the fire and not just hear the stories anymore, but to have the encounter and the experience themselves.
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:29.439
Watch this, lean in with hunger and experience the fire of God in you.
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:36.240
Like, subscribe, comment, send this to somebody who needs to be stirred up for revival and the father's love.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.639
Again, you're gonna love this one, guys.
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:39.280
Be blessed.
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:40.240
Pour it out.
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.479
Well, Duncan and Kate Smith, welcome to Encountable.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.520
Man, we are so excited to have you guys with us.
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.159
Um, we've been looking forward to this conversation.
00:03:58.400 --> 00:03:59.919
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.439
And uh can't wait for this.
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.319
Yeah, well, thank you for inviting us.
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:11.759
We're we're very excited as well, and um love to talk about God and revival and all that stuff.
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:12.240
Yeah.
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.439
Yeah, well, we love you guys, so here we go.
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:22.000
Yeah, we love you very much, and uh I think you two are two of our two of our absolute favorite people.
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:28.240
And um, we were just together in Mexico and um had an amazing time in Mexico.
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:41.759
We uh we've been together at your church there and uh in Raleigh, North Carolina, and uh we were also at Revival, we were revival junkies together at the end, and I'm sorry, talking about lining up outside.
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.959
And a very, a very alive text conversation ongoing.
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.959
Yes, yes, very much so.
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.800
Um well, we've got so much we want to talk about with you guys today.
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.319
Um, very much.
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.879
Um I want to say you guys are the the global president of Catch the Fire.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:07.040
Um and uh Catch the Fire, of course, is the the movement of churches that that really came out of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship.
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:07.519
Is that right?
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.160
I've got that right.
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:08.959
Yeah.
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.120
And uh all that God did with that.
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:16.480
And so there's a rich history of his presence, a rich history of revival.
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.160
Um, and we're gonna talk about all those kind of crazy things.
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.120
Um, but why don't we just start um just just with both of you individually, I guess first.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.959
Um, Duncan, why don't you start us just with your um just your brief origin story with God?
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.959
Yeah, so uh I grew up um in Nigeria.
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.399
My parents were missionaries, I was born there, grew up there until I was 18.
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:44.160
And my mom and dad were really uh devout, godly lovers of Jesus.
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.839
And um, you know, I have a a brother who's buried there.
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:54.560
Uh, you know, they they really gave their lives for the gospel to be to be made known to the Nigerian peoples.
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:04.879
And they were in northern Nigeria, um, which it was very uh sort of uh Islamic area, and uh and God just used them really powerfully.
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:25.199
So growing up in that environment, um, I grew up with a deep desire to walk with Jesus, but because they sent me to boarding school, there were areas of my heart that were really um just messed up with abandonment, rejection, unworthiness, shame, fear, control, rebellion, all that kind of stuff that happens.
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:38.560
Uh, that really, by the time I became a teenager, uh, I made some really poor choices at boarding school in England and went sort of far away from uh the type of life that my parents would want me to live.
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.360
And um, but deep down on the inside, I knew Jesus.
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:59.759
I mean, I can say that I invited him into my heart probably when I was about three years old, and then reaffirmed that when I was 14, but at the same time, I was really just walking away from him as well, kind of like living that um that kind of double life.
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:15.199
But when I was 20 years old, um I'd had a dream uh that I was in the dream, we were taking off in an aeroplane um in Nigeria at the airport that I would travel back to England through.
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:26.560
And as the plane took off, uh it just began to go back down and suddenly it hit the ground, and everything went like white light and turned to white ash in a split second.
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:46.240
And I was with my parents and my brothers in the dream, and they all were incinerated, we were all incinerated, and I I was screaming like screaming, screaming in the dream, and and couldn't see anyone, couldn't see myself, but I felt like me.
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.319
It was like I was had no body, but I could feel exactly where my body was.
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:57.120
And the moment was just absolutely the deepest terror that I could possibly describe.
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.560
And suddenly I became aware that I wasn't the only one screaming.
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:12.160
There was like hundreds and then thousands of voices screaming, and then it and then it occurred to me in the dream, oh my goodness, I'm in hell, and I can't get out.
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:26.160
And I was so like so terrified and in so much agony, and then suddenly I woke up, and I'm like reaching for my cigarettes, you know, running outside to have a quick cigarette.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.800
Um, and uh and but it shook me to the core of my being.
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:48.080
I wasn't walking with the Lord at the time, and just a very short time later, um I went to America on a planned trip, and while I was in America, uh the host family that that invited me, they took me uh to Colorado.
00:08:48.720 --> 00:09:09.039
And I was uh at um Esther's Park in Colorado, and it was a Christian camp, and the gl and one night they persuaded me to go to this meeting, and the preacher preached the gospel, and and I was under tremendous conviction, and with this dream and everything, I was really shaken.
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:18.000
And uh he invited us to go forward, and instead I ran out the side door, and I just went stumbling up this mountain path.
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.720
I don't even know where I was going or what I was doing.
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:41.519
I just was so kind of um under the weight and the burden of my sin and my need for for a radical change and my need to get very serious with Jesus when suddenly I can only describe that I walk I felt like I walked into the presence of Jesus.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:10:21.279
I walked, I couldn't see him, but I walked into this space where his presence was so real, and I just hit the ground on the pathway and just started weeping, asking his forgiveness for all of my sin and for all of my rebellion, and which was you know, I haven't gone into detail, but it was very deep, and um, and and I heard his voice saying to me, Duncan, I forgive you and I love you, and I have an amazing plan for your life, but you can't just have one foot in, one foot out anymore.
00:10:21.600 --> 00:11:13.919
You either follow me for the rest of your life, or you go your ways, and I just wet my way into inviting Jesus into my heart to be my Lord and Savior, and I felt his presence go from the outside literally into me, and I knew that my spirit man was instantly united with Christ because suddenly this tremendous, indescribable joy exploded in my heart, and I've been very rebellious, very you know, kind of slightly sullen and type of person to being completely transformed into just the most joyful person, and and the Lord just you know, he began to start to speak to me about his calling on my life and and uh that he had amazing plans for my life.
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:23.600
And so when I got up off that floor, I got up a completely changed man, so much so that my host family, which included my girlfriend at the time, they didn't recognize me.
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:29.039
Um, my girlfriend finished with me because she wanted me to get saved, but not that saved.
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:35.120
And then and then I went back to England shortly later, and no one in my family recognized me.
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.600
And it was just before I went off to university.
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:42.639
And uh when I got to university, I got in with the Christian Union, and then that was it.
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:44.000
Let me just interrupt for a sec.
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:59.279
Sure, please I'm curious about when you um when you heard God speak when you were there, because I I mean I I had a very similar uh conversion experience really bad in encountering God like that and hearing his voice.
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:05.120
I would describe it as very much like what I now know to be the still small voice of the Lord internally.
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.840
Is that what you heard, or was it was it more of a very booming voice?
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:09.360
No, it wasn't booming, no.
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.320
It was just very tender, very loving.
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.399
Uh I I just call it the inner audible voice of the Lord.
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.720
Yes, yes, yeah, that's what I experienced too.
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:18.960
Right.
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:26.720
But he really spoke to in the same way with me, I guess, he really spoke to your identity and who he was calling you to be, yeah, right.
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:27.440
Who you were.
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.039
Yeah, exactly.
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:30.080
Exactly that.
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.480
And yeah, so that just set me on.
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:57.600
I mean, when I got to university, I've I bumped into in the very first week, I bumped into some um people that were from the Christian Union, and uh they invited me to join the Christian Union, and I I could see in just chatting with them that they were even more on fire than I was, and I was like, and growing up in an evangelical background, I'd never see, you know, I never saw anybody on fire.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.279
I mean, I saw zeal, but I never saw anybody on fire.
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:06.399
Yeah, and I said to them, guys, your eyes are like they're like on fire.
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.480
It's like your your faces are shining.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:09.759
What what's going on?
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.440
What have you got that I don't have, you know, in my 20-year-old innocence?
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:17.039
And they're like, Well, well, Duncan, we're baptized in the Holy Spirit.
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:18.480
And I'm like, the who?
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.480
You're baptized in the who, the dove?
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.120
What do you what do you the Holy Spirit?
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.360
How do what what are you talking about?
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.440
You know, because how do you get baptized in a dove?
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.519
How do you get baptized exactly?
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:39.679
And so they just said, Well, you know, just go to your room and ask him to come and baptize you and read this book by Benny Hinn called Good Morning, Good Morning Holy Spirit.
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:41.440
Oh man, like we all did.
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:42.320
Oh no.
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:54.159
So that started a nine-month journey of uh sort of sometimes praying three hours a day, just asking the Lord, please, God, please baptize me with the Holy Spirit.
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:59.360
And and you know, I'd have those moments in the Christian Union where it was about 300 of us.
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.480
So it was it was big.
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:07.919
We were in revival looking back, and my friends would be like, Holy Spirit, come and fill Duncan and Duncan, just speak in tongues.
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:25.679
I'd be like, And just to round this bit up, just finally in one Sunday, it was a Ugandan speaking at our church, a pastor, and he was just so full of the Holy Spirit, and he's speaking about the Holy Spirit.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:32.320
I ran down to the front and I and and I was the first person there, and he said, What can I do for you?
00:14:32.559 --> 00:15:22.960
And uh I said, I would love to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and he just said, Of course, and he put his hand on me, and suddenly, Ben and Jody and Kate, this just this huge rush, this well rose up on the inside of me, and I just started speaking, and this this the me shikando soto and I couldn't switch it off, and he moved on to the next person, and I just I kept speaking tongues all the way out, got onto my huge sports bike, motorcycle that I had at the time, your 160-mile-an-hour sports bike, and I was like, I love it, and you haven't changed since.
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.919
No, you know, it's it's got worse.
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:27.679
I got worse, Jody.
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:29.120
Come on.
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.240
You got better for you.
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:36.000
You got better on this uh on this podcast, it's interesting how often we've ended up talking about tongues.
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.919
You know, there's a lot of controversy in this season for some reason about it.
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.919
And and I keep telling people listen, stop listening to people who don't speak in tongues.
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.320
Listen to people who speak in tongues.
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:51.600
I don't know a single person who speaks in tongues who doesn't believe that tongues is for everybody.
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:55.600
The only people who believe that tongues isn't for everybody is those who don't speak in tongues.
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.120
And that's a really such a powerful gift.
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:00.559
Such a powerful gift.
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:11.919
And uh and it once again uh it it amazes me to hear stories when we do this are so similar to my own story, you know, encountering God, because it kind of, you know, this is on other sides of the world.
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.360
I was in New Zealand, you're in England, and yet we're encountering the same holy case.
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:28.399
But also, how many times are we we've talked to people and an inner audible voice or outer audible voice has called people into salvation and their destiny every single time.
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:29.759
It's wild.
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:35.840
You know, actually, while we are here, and we're gonna come to ask Kate your origin story too in in just a moment.
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:37.679
The origin of superheroes.
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:38.320
That's right.
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:40.480
You guys are superheroes.
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:42.159
You're my superheroes for sure.
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:50.639
Oh you guys the the goodness of God, you know, the kindness, this is what we see when we're talking to people over and over.
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:51.679
The goodness of God.
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.039
So you had a dream.
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:54.799
I mean, God came after you.
00:16:55.039 --> 00:17:02.240
You know, you you actually had a dream where God was going, Duncan, I want you, and I'm coming after you now, and here's where you're going.
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.680
Yeah, and so you literally have a hell experience.
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:06.400
Yeah, I did.
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:07.680
I did.
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:15.039
And and I think that's why, Ben, I just can't stop telling people about Jesus.
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:16.079
Yeah.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.839
Because he really is our savior.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:28.000
I think a lot of time, a lot of times we we don't we don't really get it.
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:33.359
It rolls off the tongue that he's our savior, but he's really our savior.
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.119
And I've experienced what he saved us from.
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:56.720
And what he saved us from is so utterly terrible, and so utterly terrifying, and so utterly, utterly painful, that nobody, no human being should ever, ever, ever, ever go there.
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:30.160
And and the Lord showed me one day, I was asking him about it, and he showed me he did not create hell for human beings, he created hell to judge sin and the source of sin, Satan himself and all the fallen angels, and the beast and all the you know, and so on, and and to contain that sin for eternity in an everlasting fire, so that sin never, ever, ever could become something that could ruin heaven forever.
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:57.920
And so, you know, he's actually created a place to shut and lock sin up eternally, and the Lord showed me that if a human being chooses not to accept their Savior Jesus, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that he honors that choice, and if a person said no to him for a lifetime, he'll never force eternity on them.
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:31.599
He'll never force them to have to spend eternity with him, and he has made a way so that when we all get to heaven, our sin has been eternally separated from us, and we've been eternally separated from it, so that our sin's eternal destiny will never be our eternal destiny, and we can our spirit man united in our new bodies will be able to spend eternity in the new heaven that's the new earth, and sin will never, ever, ever, ever be possibly resurrected.
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.519
It is will be burning in that fire that was in my dream.
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:36.559
Wow.
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:42.160
Are there any other specific details, like real specific, that you remember about hell itself?
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:48.799
Well, the the the just specifically was everything was white.
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:57.200
Like like you were looking into the sun, like dazzling white light, as opposed to flames of fire.
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:16.160
I didn't see any, and I'm I you know I wouldn't want to build a case for what hell looks like based on my dream, but what struck out what stuck out to me was that there were no flames, it was just burning, burning, burning sensation, but it was light.
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:22.799
It was like piercing white light, and it went straight through you.
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:33.680
And you could feel you could feel yourself, like I my hands, you know, I could feel my body just like I can feel it now, as if it's me, but I had no body.
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.759
It was just in this burning light.
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.519
It was like you had an encounter with the consuming fire of God.
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:46.000
Yeah, you know, yeah, now God is a consuming fire, and that's a good and a bad thing.
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.319
Yeah, you know, um, and I often pray that.
00:20:48.400 --> 00:21:01.920
Even when I'm ministering to people, you know, we'll pray, God, we just release your consuming fire, you're a consuming fire and burn up everything that's not you, yeah, and let us just be consumed by you so that what remains is Him, you know.
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:05.519
And that's what that's what I I think about when I think about that.
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:13.039
You are experiencing that that that white, hot fire of God, yeah, you know, that no sin can stand in.
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.440
Yeah.
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:15.039
And um I love that.
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.160
You feel the fear of Lord on it, even though we're talking about it.
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:23.279
So Kate, we we love you, Kate.
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.799
You're amazing.
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:33.440
And uh I um we're just so grateful for you and for your friendship and for your leadership and the impact you guys are having all around the world.
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.440
Um, tell us a little bit about you, tell us about your origin story.
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.359
Yeah, well, I thankfully was raised in a Christian home.
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:53.359
And my parents, when I was a young girl, they went from being quite sort of ordinary Methodists to actually seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:59.759
And it was during the seventies, the charismatic renewal when they heard about these pockets of believers.
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:05.279
That were beginning to um speak in tongues and be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:14.640
So as a young girl, we used to drive across to other towns and we would go to these meetings where our parents were like seeking more of the Holy Spirit.
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:23.839
And um my parents were reading um nine o'clock in the morning and you know, waiting for God to baptize them in the spirit.
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:33.680
So they took us along to these events and to these Bible camps where I actually gave my life to Jesus at six years old.
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:39.279
And then two years later, I was asked if I wanted to speak in tongues.
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:45.359
And as a young child, you don't doubt, you just think, yeah, of course.
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:57.279
And you know, um, I was led in uh being led in in tongues and the baptism and with childlike faith, I was able to do it very fluently at that age.
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:11.920
And we we were part of these camps where we would see the Holy Spirit touch people, people would fall over, people were getting healed, you know, there was a sense of the presence and the power of God coming together.
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:32.160
And my sister actually got healed of deafness in really um yeah, she was fully deaf in one ear, she was about eight years old, I was about nine, and um, she was partially deaf in the other side, and this man of God, an older guy, he was so gentle, there was no sort of sensational anything.
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.960
It was like, just be opened up in Jesus' name.
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.319
It was a simple prayer, and her ear popped open.
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:46.400
So as a young girl of nine, I was like, okay, this is who God is, this is what I give my life for.
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:49.920
This is this is my baseline experience.
00:23:50.079 --> 00:24:11.839
Like, I don't want any other version of Christianity, I want the full raw, raw power, raw deal, and that really sort of kept me as a teenager and kept me very hungry, pursuing God, pursuing um a relationship with Him, and really wanting to grow in ministering in the gifts for myself.
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:34.480
But alongside that, um, there was quite a lot of generational witchcraft that had come down my mother's line because she was the first person in her family to ever get saved, and her family had been into all sorts of witchcraft, and so I had a lot of fear in the night, night terrors, and I I saw apparitions at the end of my bed.
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:59.200
It was like I knew the supernatural was real, and I did not like the fear that came with with all the other stuff that so I I had this tension of like I I want God, but I'm I'm still bound up in fear, and I think it took a long time to begin to understand what that was all about in my life, but it really led me to what kind of things did you see, Kate?
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:08.640
Yeah, well, we you know, we're in little girls in this tent at night, and one of the girls says, I've seen a ghost, it it came to my bed and all this.
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:22.799
Well, I was so afraid at that moment there was a doorway of fear that came into my life, and um I began to um see visitors at the end of my bed, like dark shadows.
00:25:22.880 --> 00:26:09.519
I was afraid, and I was so afraid I couldn't even tell my parents, you know, when you f think you've done something wrong and um there's the shame of that, and so I I knew enough to call on the name of Jesus, and I did that, and it eventually dissipated, but it was just like an open door of fear in my life that I I knew God's power was bigger, but I didn't know that you could have deliverance to be free from fear and you know, demonic entry points through the family line, and some of my mum's relatives like an older cousin, she would babysit for us and she would let us watch horror movies, and that was like the scariest thing, you know.
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:21.839
And I I think you know, it was it was an understanding that when we had our own girls, our own children, it was like, okay, there are doorways into the the dark world.
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.880
Um, and you know, those things want to grip us.
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.200
Yeah, by then we'd had a lot of deliverance and stuff.
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:38.160
We'd had a lot of deliverance and had some of the tools to know how to do it, but but beyond that, I knew that the power of God was real and pursued that wholeheartedly.
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:42.640
Really chose not to have a life of compromise and sin.
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:47.519
I wouldn't date boys, even though they wanted to, I wanted to.
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:52.799
I was very clear that I was gonna wait for the the person that God had for me.
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:55.759
And um and Duncan.
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:09.119
And actually, I mean, talk about I had to very much restrain myself from being a typical Aussie or Kiwi then and and apologize for the fact that ultimately you ended up with Duncan.
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:12.960
You ended up with Duncan, Duncan, yeah.
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:20.319
And the thing is, we met each other six months after he got baptized in the spirit and gave his life back to Jesus.
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:22.799
And so I was like, who is this guy?
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:28.400
He's moved to my small town, and I said to the Lord, there's nothing and nobody there for me.
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:33.759
Why do you why are you sending me back after you know doing my YWAM DTS in LA?
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.000
And the Lord said, You know, I want you to go home.
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:39.599
And I'm like, Okay, Lord, I don't understand, but I'm gonna obey you.
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:43.920
And then I bump into this mighty man full of despair.
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:49.440
Yeah, cut that back motorcycle riding, tongue talking, fire breathing.
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:51.039
Get into this job.
00:27:51.440 --> 00:28:03.119
Well, my mum and dad had moved back from Nigeria by then after 20 years, and um and my dad worked on our family farm for a couple of years, but really his heartbeats mission.
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:10.319
And so he got invited by the mission that he was in Nigeria with to sort of be one of the leaders, international leaders.
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.960
And uh their headquarters was in London.
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:26.400
And as soon as Dad said yes, he said he didn't realize he said yes into them acting into an era in which they were moving north, like 200 miles north of London, which is where Kate's from.
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:37.680
And so my first uh vacation from university, I was at Oxford's second university called Oxford Brooks, which is a great university, but not the main Oxford University.
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:48.720
And uh I just had started my first semester, and then sorry, was actually just ending my second semester, and that's when I met Kate.
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.480
And uh yeah, I I fell in love with her straight away.
00:28:52.640 --> 00:29:07.279
Her first Sunday back from LA was my first Sunday at their church, and my dad had met her dad, and uh her dad had invited us because my dad said, Oh, my son's just absolutely what kind of church do you do you guys go to?
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:20.240
Oh, uh, you know, we go to an evangelical church, but we'd really like to try a charismatic church because my son is just really on fire, and my other two sons, I'd like them to catch fire too.
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:23.359
And in fact, I'd like to catch fire, and so would my wife.
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:24.480
Catch the fire.
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:27.039
So they ended up uh, yeah, it's funny, isn't it?
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:31.200
Now we're leaders of catch fire, but that's really the conversation.
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:33.119
And he said, Well, come to my church.
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:38.559
I've I'm one of the uh the lead pastors, and uh, you know, I think you'll love it.
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:57.759
And so the very first Sunday was Kate's first Sunday back from LA, and I looked across the room, you know, I was worshiping the Lord with my hands up, and I had my eyes like this, and I was just checking out the crowd, you know, looking to see if there was any, you know, anyone else that was as on fire as me in the room, you know.
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:08.079
And I thought I saw Kate across the vision of Kate! And I as soon as I saw her, I thought, I'm gonna marry that girl.
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.240
I'm gonna marry that girl right there.
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:19.599
And she just was so in love with Jesus, and I was watching her worship, and I was just like, that that's that that I'm marrying her.
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:21.680
Yeah, yeah, amazing.
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:22.240
I love that.
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.759
Amazing a match made in heaven.
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.440
Yeah, let's jump, let's jump forward if we can.
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:27.680
Yeah.
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:29.039
So you guys get married.
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:36.240
Um, whirlwind romance, and um, you're both already on fire for Jesus, you're already uh in the things of the spirit.
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:42.000
Take us up to Toronto and and your introduction, exposure, involvement.
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:43.599
Just just tell us, let's talk about that.
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:44.480
Yeah.
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:45.599
Absolutely.
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:58.640
Well, as you know, we were we were God chasers, and it was around that time that we were introduced to um Ken Gott, and um we were you take the story from here.
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:26.000
We'd heard about the revival right away, because England was one of the places where the Toronto revival just exploded in the first few days of the revival starting, really, and uh to the point where you know, whole aeroplanes full of British people were coming over to Toronto and getting just full of the Holy Spirit and bringing that fire back to England, and so it really swept across the country very quickly.
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:34.000
Including his brother's church, Murray and Ash, that were up in Newcastle, they were part of a movement that they all came to Toronto.
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:39.200
We went to visit them for the weekend, and their church was like nothing we'd ever seen.
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:40.960
It just exploded in the room.
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:42.160
That's the only way I can describe it.
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:46.000
The power and the manifestations of the Holy Spirit all across the room.
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:50.400
We we'd see God moving powerfully, but nothing like that en masse.
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:57.920
No, it was just for I mean, the one lady next to me who's one of Murray and Ash, my my brother's called Murray, his wife's Ash.
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:05.200
And, you know, bearing in mind that we're in our 20s here, we're in our sort of mid-twenties and they're in their early 20s.
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:11.680
This one, this one girl next to me was nine months pregnant, like heavily pregnant.
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:23.119
You know, when a person's really like ready, you know, and she just she just faceplanted on the ground while everybody else is just getting wrecked in the Holy Spirit.
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:36.240
She just faceplanted on the ground next to me and just started violently, horizontally, just going like this, on top of her tummy, on her baby.
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:44.079
And and and and just it was like she was being shaken by like a ragdoll.
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:50.240
And uh, you know, people might be listening and thinking, well, what in the world was happening?
00:32:50.400 --> 00:33:03.839
Well, the Lord was just showing her that he's God, and that you know, and that he's awesome, and and she just that baby, I'm sure, must be on fire somewhere in the world.
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.680
She had her baby, no problem at all.
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:07.759
There was no sudden delivery or anything.
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:25.839
She had a baby in the perfect time, but all of us in that time, all of us knew that God is extraordinary and that he's awesome, and that he's so phenomenally mighty and yet so loving.
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:29.920
And, you know, people were falling down because they couldn't stand up.
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:32.640
People were shaking because they couldn't stop shaking.
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.960
People were crying because they couldn't stop crying, people were laughing because they couldn't stop laughing.
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:45.839
It was like the presence of God just he just manifested his presence among us in that gathering stage of the revival en masse.
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:49.599
And I think we were just multiple meetings all over the country.
00:33:49.839 --> 00:34:02.400
We were just like, we're gonna go to some meetings, we're we're we're gonna go where God is, because our experience in charismatic church across the nation at the time was it it just felt a bit tired.
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:25.119
It was like, you know, John Wimber had come through the country a few years earlier, but it wasn't at that scale, and so we kind of longed in our heart to to go to Toronto because some of our friends in church had had been visiting, and we but we were in the middle of having our family, our children, and 1994 our eldest daughter was born.
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:29.519
So A, you don't have a whole lot of time with a baby and you don't have any money.
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:35.840
No, so it was like if we're gonna go anywhere, then God's gotta start providing.
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:52.480
And I think we just had a real desire, and one day we just prayed, Lord, if you could make it possible for us to go to Toronto, we don't have enough for both air tickets, but if you could provide another ticket for us, enough money to buy a ticket, we'll go a second ticket.
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:54.159
A second ticket, then we'll go.
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:55.280
Well, don't you know?
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:03.119
Wow, some friends of us said a few days later, we've been praying, and the next day the Lord told us we were to give you this money.
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:09.199
And they gave us the exact amount that we'd spent that we'd need to spend on a second ticket.
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:10.800
Yeah, it was amazing.
00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:21.039
So it was like, okay, that's our green light to go and meet these people in Toronto and and actually experience revival at the at the source, you know?
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:35.599
Yeah, um because you yeah, before you get to um Toronto yourself, then um for those who may be listening and don't even really know, can you just give the really brief version of basically what happened, of how it started, what broke out?
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:36.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:37.920
So we're talking about Toronto.
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:45.920
Yeah, so John and Carol Arnett are the founding pastors of the Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship.
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:48.639
And uh that's what it was called when they planted it.
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:54.159
They'd started their first church, which was the uh Stratford Vineyard Church, which is about an hour and a half away.
00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:57.039
And then they had felt the Lord call them to Toronto.
00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:08.079
They did both churches for a little bit and then eventually left the Stratford Church in the in the hands of someone else, and they were just hungry, hungry, hungry for the Holy Spirit.
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:37.599
And um they'd been they'd been brought into uh uh communion with God through um Mark Verkler, learning how to hear the voice of God, and then after that, got really as God began to speak his love into their hearts, they really opened their hearts to uh it they'd heard about somebody moving in the father's love, a guy called Jack Winter, and they invited him to the Stratford Church and Jack introduced them to the Father's Love.
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.000
And this this was all brand new back then.
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:44.559
Nobody'd ever heard that no nobody ever thought of God as our heavenly daddy.
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:50.800
They just thought, Almighty God, you know, God our loving heavenly father, but never heavenly daddy.
00:36:50.960 --> 00:37:04.239
And so, you know, as they're getting wrecked in the father's love, then they realize that, you know, God loved them just as they were, just as they are, loves us just as he loves us just as we are, but he loves us way too much to leave us as we are.
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:20.159
And they began a journey in Toronto, um, at well, at the tail end of Stratford and and and uh the early stages of the Toronto Church into the Elijah House uh training, which is all about getting healed up from life's hurts.
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:43.360
And that that together with the Lord saying to them, I want you to give me your mornings, and which meant that they just spent their mornings just with the Lord, and also I want you to go where I'm moving, wherever I'm moving, whoever I'm moving through, I want you to go and have them lay hands on you.
00:37:43.679 --> 00:38:08.800
And so here they are now in Toronto, church is about 300 people, 1993, and John Arnett has always been friends with Benny Hinn since they were young, and they used to chase Katherine Kulman, not chase Katherine Kulman, but they used to go to her meetings and go all over the North America uh chasing the anointing in Catherine Kulman meetings.
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:18.000
And so I heard that by this time Benny was now really moving powerfully in his ministry in '93, '92, '93.
00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:32.639
And so John, uh, John and Carol went to a Benny Hinn meeting, and they just, in the in the speaker's lounge at the end of everything, Benny just rushed at Carol and said, The Lord's told me I'm to give you the anointing.
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:38.480
And she just, the Holy Spirit fell on her so powerfully.
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:53.679
She was just so dramatically touched by the Lord that John had to carry her back to the car, and you know, he had to literally take care of all of her physical needs uh for the longest time that night and get her into bed and all the rest of it.
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:56.079
She was just so undone by the Holy Spirit.
00:38:56.320 --> 00:39:07.440
And then they got an opportunity to go to um uh Argentina, where revival was literally all over the country in Argentina.
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.239
The Argentinian revival was in full swing.
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:16.400
And so they went in in um November 1993, November, December 1993.
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:23.199
They didn't have much money at the time, uh, and they just gave everything to go on this trip.
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:37.519
While they were while they were at the revival meetings, um Claudio Friedson was preaching, and he invited uh, he said, I hear that there's some pastors from Canada that are in the room.
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:44.800
And uh, and so there was a there was just a few, maybe I don't know, let's say a dozen, I'm I'm not sure.
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:57.280
And he invited them all up onto the platform and he just went down the line giving them the anointing, meaning laying hands on their heads and moving on to the next one as each one went down, because they couldn't stand up.
00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:11.599
Well, when they got to Carol, when he got to Carol, Carol went off like a rocket again, and he got to John next to next to her, and John kind of instead of falling over, John could stand up.
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:17.920
And so he didn't really fall over, but he felt like a bit embarrassed, so he gave a bit of a courtesy drop onto his knees.
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:23.519
And uh and and he thought, well, that was very undramatic.
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:25.360
I guess I'm just not wired like that.
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:28.559
And Claudia moved on to the next person, bam, bam, bam.
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:33.039
Well, then Claudio whirled around and he came back to John and he said, Do you want it?
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:40.800
And John's like on his knees, sort of like this, with his hands out, and he's and he said, My first thought was, Do I want it?
00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:42.880
How what a ridiculous question.
00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:44.400
I've come all the way from Canada.
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:46.400
Yes, I want it, you know, type of thing.
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:49.199
But you know how you can have a thousand thoughts all at once.
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:58.400
And and John said, Yes, I want it, I want him, and Claudio just said, Well, then take it.
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:05.599
And he struck his hands, and John went bam! Yeah, it was like not like he was sledgehammered.
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:14.880
And John John learned a lot in that moment that actually receiving the anointing is really all about yielding, you know?
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:21.360
Yes, and a lot of people want God to kind of knock you over, but it's actually in the yielding that then he does.
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:22.159
Yes.
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:24.800
And so they go back to Canada.
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:47.840
And when they arrived back in Canada, they'd heard about uh a guy called Randy Clark, who'd never been out of um Missouri and was a pastor in Missouri, a vineyard pastor, and they'd heard that at a vineyard regional meeting gathering, the Holy Spirit had landed on everybody after Randy had been to Randy Clark's.
00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:59.760
Sorry, uh to uh Rodney How Brown's and so when John heard that he called up Randy, who he didn't really know he knew of him, but he called him up and said, I want you to come to my church.
00:41:59.920 --> 00:42:01.119
You must come to my church.
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:06.559
And so they agreed that on January the 20th, 1994, he would come to the church.
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:16.400
And he almost Randy was so scared because he'd never been out of America, he was so scared he almost didn't make it onto the airplane.
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:32.960
And but just as he was getting to the plane, he got a phone call from a friend of his that was praying for him, a businessman, and he prophesied this incredible prophecy over Randy that Randy would not only go to Canada, but it would start off he'd go all over the world.
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:41.920
And Randy's got a whole thing that the Lord gave him uh that he said to him in that moment, and and so Randy just came with courage in his heart.
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:48.239
And the first night there was 120 people gathered out of the 300.
00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:53.679
And it was just a Thursday night, just an ordinary Thursday night.
00:42:54.000 --> 00:43:02.559
Randy gets up after the worship, he shares a little testimony about what had happened at the regional meeting, and then he said, you know what?
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:08.159
If any it's better you know, we know now it's better felt than tell, type of thing.
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:09.760
And so he's like, you know what?
00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:16.159
If you like the anointing, if you want the Holy Spirit in your life, then just come out here to the front.
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:30.880
And John describes it like people were like, like Kate said about her the meetings that she was it was low-key when that guy prayed for her sister's ears, it was low-key, no hype, no organs, no music, no drums, nothing.
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:33.840
Just if you would like the Holy Spirit, come up to the front.
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:37.199
They all looked at each other, people like, yeah, I think that would be nice.
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:59.760
And just as they went to get up, the Holy Spirit came with his mighty thick, glorious presence, and everyone in the room was literally instantaneously filled with glory, laid out on the floor, nobody.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:01.199
Made it up to the front.
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:13.920
People were down on the ground under the chairs, screaming, crying, laughing, shaking, all the manifestations that have been at all the revivals throughout history.
00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:24.559
And Mary Audrey's one of the one of the assistant pastors, she's associate pastor, she was in a room next door in an equipping class.
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:30.559
And they could hear all the commotion, so she opened the door to see what in the world was happening.
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:34.159
And she said when she looked in the room, she couldn't see anybody.
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:36.000
And she thought, this is crazy.
00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:37.440
Where is everybody?
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:41.199
I can hear them loudest volume, but I can't see anyone.
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:43.199
Then she realized they're all under the chairs.
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:43.920
On the floor.
00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:45.119
On the floor.
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:48.880
Everyone, without exception, 120 of them out.
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:55.760
And the moment she comprehended that, she too just face planted right there.
00:44:55.920 --> 00:45:01.519
And John always says the biggest miracle of all was that Mary Audrey couldn't speak for 20 minutes.
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:06.880
They had a good relationship.
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:15.199
Ben and Jody, it was so sovereign and so fantastic.
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:24.000
John and Carol, it was what they had they had asked the Lord for for decades.
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:32.000
And they decided right there and then we're going to meet again tomorrow.
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:36.000
Well, they already had four nights planned anyway Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:46.239
But when Sunday night was over, by that time, like almost all the charismatic churches, Pentecostal churches in Toronto were all packing in.
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:49.920
And John decided, right, we're going to go Monday, Tuesday.
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.400
And that kept going for 12 years.
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:58.000
And he persuaded Randy to stay as long as he could, go home and turn back around.
00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:08.079
And then, you know, word of mouth, people were calling other pastors around the world, and that's when people started coming from all over the world, lining up.
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:13.840
Lining up round and round the building, because the building only fat fitted in about 500 people.
00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:16.079
And you know, and they couldn't get everyone in.
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:18.880
Canada in the winter and spring is not warm.
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:22.639
So people are lining up outside like we were in Asbury.
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:23.119
Yeah.
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:29.280
And we we commented to each other, we're like, we've never lined up for anything like this.
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:34.159
No, because by the time we we came to Toronto, we we came.
00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:37.519
You know, the new building was there and the fits about 6,000.
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:39.840
It kind of gave us a bit of an insight.
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:41.039
Wow, there's a hunger.
00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:42.159
I'm willing to wait.
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:47.599
I'm willing to line up for a place in this meeting because God's in the house.
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:48.639
Yeah, it was amazing.
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:50.639
So tell us about when you guys got there.
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:51.679
What was your experience?
00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:58.320
So you you you get this money given to you by God to buy your second ticket and you take off to Toronto.
00:46:58.400 --> 00:46:59.599
What was it like for you?
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:08.400
Wow, it it was just the most the the presence of God came with so much love and acceptance.
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:18.000
And Canadians are quite low-key as people, they're not expressive, exuberant like you know, Americans can be, personality-wise.
00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:30.159
But yet, whenever they prayed for you or touched you, laid hands on you, you just felt like wow, I can feel the power of God, I can feel the anointing just going through them.
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:42.079
And and and it was just so accessible, ordinary, and and yet there was there was an evidence that there was supernatural stuff happening all over the room.
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:53.519
People were prophesying, people were praying, people were falling out, people were crying, and on mass, and it was like, oh my goodness, we have never seen this before.
00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:55.039
And what is this?
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:57.440
This like this place is special.
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:05.599
Yeah, you see 3,000 people going like that, going ballistic in the Holy Spirit, all being touched, and it's just dramatic.
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:24.639
It it marks you, and you know, so we we we felt like um this was the most amazing thing we'd ever experienced, and um we were invited to a very small little gathering, a comp a little conference before the main conference.
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:30.159
So the main conference had about 3,000 people, but this one was only about uh less than 100 people, wasn't it?
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:41.039
Yeah, it was a church plant that we'd managed to get into because we had some friends from the UK who were part of the team volunteering for a year.
00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:47.360
And so we were gonna go and stay with them, and and we got invited to this church planting conference.
00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:53.280
So on the and and at the end of the sessions, the last session, they did this impartation.
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:54.639
Let's do the five.
00:48:58.559 --> 00:48:59.119
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:00.400
There was another bit.
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:01.039
Another story.
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:20.320
So this this this is this is important, then I'll let Kate tell about the impartation because so we came thinking that the revival and seeing, and what we saw with our eyes and heard with our ears, everything about it, it seemed like the power of God was on display, and that that's what the revival was about.
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:28.719
It was about manifestations of the spirit and just getting completely overwhelmed by God, God taking over, taking you over, type of thing.
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:36.639
And so that's what we thought it was all about before we went, from our friends, what they had shared, and also when we got there.
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:58.079
But within the first day, the first full day, at the end of the day, they had this um you could receive uh prophecy from a group of trained individuals that were trained in prophecy, and you could, you know, as part of this 60 group of people, we were uh uh invited to go and receive prophecy.
00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:18.159
So I'm lining up in this long lineup of the prophecy, and I'm just sharing with uh these two pastors, and I'm just gushing about myself, I mean about the Lord, and um I'm telling all these stories that making myself the hero, but trying to make Jesus the real hero.
00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:28.000
And all of a sudden, this this one guy said to his friend, you know, you know, I don't think Duncan's ever met his heavenly daddy, do you?
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:31.840
And the other one was like, No, I don't think he has.
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:50.880
And they both had the most kind of like kind of wimpy sounding voices and a little bit kind of like like, you know, and I'd you know, I'd been a not long earlier, I'd been a trained police officer, and you know, I I I was not used to people talking like that, if I could say it like that.
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:59.840
And this one guy goes, Yeah, would you like to receive your heavenly daddy's love, Duncan?
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:02.559
And I'm like, goodness sakes.
00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:08.639
Your voice just needs to get a whole lot more manly, first of all.
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:13.119
And secondly, stop calling God your heavenly daddy because that's irreverent.
00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:35.360
And and yes, I absolutely have never met God as my heavenly daddy, and I desperately need to meet him as my heavenly daddy, and all of those mixture thoughts all at once, and I just thought, okay, you know, I'm gonna, and for the first time in my life, I got in touch with the fact that I was terrified of love and that I'd never surrendered to love.
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:43.039
And I just, having been sent to boarding school, you just, you know, and so I just held my hands out like this, and I said, you know what?
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:46.480
I don't think I ever have called God my heavenly daddy.
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:48.320
I've never met him as my heavenly daddy.
00:51:48.559 --> 00:51:49.920
Well, would you like to now?
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:51.519
And I'm like, no.
00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:53.360
Yes.
00:51:54.159 --> 00:52:05.519
And I held my hands like this, and this guy he puts his hands like this and he pulls this sort of strange face, and I'm like, please do something with your wrists that everything's all wrong here, and change your face.
00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:07.360
But I just thought, shut your eyes, don't you?
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:08.480
Change your face.
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:11.199
Just shut your eyes and as your face.
00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:12.079
And just receive.
00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:25.039
And as I did that, Ben and Jody, I literally, it was like a locomotive steam train fell out of the sky on top of my head and just crushed me to the floor.
00:52:25.199 --> 00:52:33.199
Literally, I whimpered as I went and like, well, not quite like that, but I just whimpered down and was just crushed to the floor.
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:40.239
But at the same time, it felt like liquid golden honey that was somehow alive, just all over me.
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:47.679
And I just lay there in a pool of liquid golden honey as the father just spoke his love and words of affirmation.
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:49.840
And I heard him say, Duncan, I love you.
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:58.800
Wow, you are my wonderful and lovely son who I'm delighted in, and you're my beloved, and I I love you just as you are.
00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:01.039
And he just over and over and over again.
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:07.599
There's nothing that you could ever do that would cause me to love you more, and there's nothing that you could ever do that would cause me to love you less.
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:16.079
And I'm telling you, I don't know how long I was down there for, but the lineup to the prophecy was gone by the time I came around.
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:41.280
And when I got up, the sky was just so bluer, the grass was so greener, and I I I was late, so I walked home back to the hotel, and I I have been able to love Kate and our girls, and I've just been able to love in a way that I've never ever had been able to love before.
00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:42.000
Wow.
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:43.599
Just completely baptized.
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:57.840
It was a baptism of his love, and I mean he was like gushing because I'd actually gone back for a rest because we were jet-lagged, you know, we'd flown from the UK, and I was like, I'm gonna go rest so I can come back later.
00:53:58.159 --> 00:54:11.599
And um, but you we did end up having a prophetic word, and it was like, you know, we'd been go going through a time in the UK in the last couple of years where we're like, Lord, we just don't feel we're fitting.
00:54:11.760 --> 00:54:15.199
We know you've called us to something, we don't know what it looks like.
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:19.039
We know we're called to go to the nations, we we just don't know.
00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:25.679
And we we come to a place of abandonment and to to God and said, we can't make this happen anymore.
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:28.400
We're just gonna go to Toronto and receive.
00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:29.760
That's all we want to do.
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:40.400
But in the kindness and the goodness of God, we didn't realize we were gonna be colliding with our inheritance, our destiny, our future, our calling, and our calling in God.
00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:50.800
And we did actually have a prophetic word that God was gonna shoot us out like an arrow, and we're like, okay, all right, well, it's all in your hand.
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:58.719
And so at the end of this short conference, we they do an impartation session, and we're not used to that, you know.
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:00.960
Line up, everyone, we're gonna pray for you.
00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:03.840
We're like, okay, great, this is what we want.
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:08.800
And honestly, it was there was so much power of the Holy Spirit.
00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:10.239
We were on the ground.
00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:24.480
Duncan started pogoing, he started getting up and pogoing, and um, and then this prophet comes round, Jim, and he's like, You're gonna be Duncan Campbell, the revivalist, the revivalist.
00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:31.360
And I think it was the first time we'd ever sort of heard that over our lives, even though we'd been hungry for revival.
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:34.239
Yeah, that was like ceiling of the deal.
00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:38.960
And then after the meeting, there's John Arnett sort of hanging around.
00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:43.599
He'd already come up to me in the coffee break and said, Can we meet for lunch?
00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:59.599
And so when I finally came around having pogo sticked and found myself on the floor, I looked up and there's John Arnett standing over me with his great big hand out, uh, sort of over my face, you know, just in my pointing in my direction, and and talking to somebody.
00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:08.239
And I got up and I put his huge hand right on my chest, and I just held it there while I'm like out of it and drunk in the Holy Spirit.
00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:21.760
And I I I know John well enough now to know that he probably felt a little uncomfortable in that moment, but but he graciously just, you know, and I was just putting his hand on my heart lights, and then he pulled it away and he goes, and I crashed down to the ground again.
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:27.840
And he goes, he leans over and he says, Would you like to have lunch with me, or would you like to just stay in the Holy Spirit?
00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:32.400
And I said, If if it's okay with you, sir, I'm just gonna stay in the Holy Spirit.
00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:40.400
Because the Lord had just taken Kate and I on a journey leading up to that over the years where he'd taken all ambition out of our hearts.
00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:46.400
We're just like, we can't do anything, we've got to rely on God's leading, we're not gonna make this happen.
00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:52.800
So, you know, we didn't realise, but actually, that was a good thing that we turned John down.
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:53.280
Yeah.
00:56:53.440 --> 00:57:03.280
Um, and so we get up, the conference ends, we decide not to go to the big conference because it was like, wow, this is Well, we we had to get home from the we we had to yeah, fly home.
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:12.480
But before we did, we got in a car and drove to London, Ontario, to visit one of my cousins who had grown up in Canada.
00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:18.079
And um, so after we left, John Arnett started searching for us.
00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:22.400
What where's that couple, Duncan and Kate, and our friends who we were with?
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:24.559
They said, Oh, they've gone to London.
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:27.599
Now he's thinking, oh no, they've flown home.
00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:30.800
And and they were like, No, it's not London, England.
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:33.920
They've gone to London, Ontario, and they will be back tomorrow.
00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:37.360
But they're leaving the following 24 hours and then they're leaving.
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:42.079
And he said, Oh, well, please tell them when they come back, I want to meet them.
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:44.320
I I want to sit down and talk to them.
00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:49.280
So we we ended up having lunch on the day that we left that night for England.
00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:54.480
We had lunch with him in the as just as the conference was beginning in the lounge, speakers lounge.
00:57:54.800 --> 00:58:02.719
And John, the Lord had spoken to John when he first saw me at the previous 60 people conference.
00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:08.880
He said, John, that's the tall Englishman that I told you two years ago would be your first executive director.
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:09.519
There he is.
00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:12.719
Go and introduce yourself to him, go and meet him.
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:22.800
And so uh, you know, two or three days later, now he's having lunch with us, just as we were about to leave, and he said, Tell tell me your story.
00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:43.679
And so we we shared our very sorry story at that time a lot of brokenness, um, a lot of disappointments, and but also a lot of God taking us through the journey of putting us to death for the life of Christ in us and resurrecting, positioning us for resurrection of our calling, which he'd asked us to die to, and we had done that.
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:54.239
And uh, because I had worked as an evangelist doing large-scale crusades anywhere from 300, sorry, from 30,000 upwards to over 100,000.
00:58:54.400 --> 00:59:05.280
And the Lord had asked me to die to my calling, and so I'd walked away from that and and become a farmer for three years, which was what we were doing when we went to Toronto.
00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:29.519
And so we're telling the story to John and and business, and I'd got a master's in business management during that time, and so I'm telling we're telling John this, Kate and I, going backwards and forwards, telling the story with John, and we start tearing up, and uh and we're we're crying, and John goes, you know, I can really see that you both are limping.
00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:34.239
And uh I said, Yes, sir, we we are, we're limping.
00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:36.400
We're very much limping.
00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:51.760
And um, you know, because we had just gone through so much, and um he said, Well, I only look for a man and a woman who walk with a limp.
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.440
In fact, I only trust a person who walks with a limp.
00:59:55.920 --> 00:59:59.039
And he put his hand on my shoulder when he said that.
00:59:59.360 --> 01:00:00.880
Because I was, you know, crying.
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:02.000
So was Kate.
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:06.159
And and uh he said, I'd love for you to come and join my team.
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:08.480
And we were just flabbergasted.
01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:09.519
We were like, What?
01:00:09.679 --> 01:00:10.559
We were like, What?
01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:15.039
No one's ever been as nice as that to us, any leader in our life.
01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:27.760
Yeah, I mean, you know, when we tried to impress, put on our impressive selves, we weren't invited, and here we are in our very unimpressive selves.
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:31.920
We're getting invited, and it was just amazing.
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:41.440
And, you know, of course, I said something like daft, like, well, um, well, well, really, we thank you very much.
01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:45.760
That's very kind of you, and and we will need to go back to England and and really pray about this.
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:47.199
Thank you so much, David.
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:48.320
Inside.
01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:52.559
And inside, we're like, no, we don't really need to pray about this.
01:00:52.719 --> 01:00:57.519
Like coming and being part of this church and in this environment of the presence of God.
01:00:58.159 --> 01:01:01.039
No, and I said, listen, I'll clean the toilets for you, sir.
01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:05.840
You this is you guys are the most loving people that we've ever met in our whole lives.
01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:10.719
And he he he sort of laughed and said, I think we'll have you doing a bit more than that.
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:14.239
And and so, and so we left.
01:01:14.400 --> 01:01:22.719
And now I had I had serious business plans with a business partner that we were about to launch a new business in fine foods.
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:29.280
And um I had to go back and tell him I'm ever so sorry, but we got the offer of a lifetime.
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:39.440
And he understood because he, you know, he he was a believer, and um actually, coincidentally, he went on and became a multi-millionaire with those plans.
01:01:39.519 --> 01:01:45.199
I'd met him seven years later, but I became a millionaire in souls instead.
01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:46.559
Yeah, wow, that's fair.
01:01:46.719 --> 01:01:46.960
Come on.
01:01:48.960 --> 01:02:00.159
But Kate and I, you know, we we we came back to Canada, we joined the team, and within three months, John appointed me the executive director.
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:03.679
Uh, much to the surprise of the entire team.
01:02:03.840 --> 01:02:11.760
There was 160 staff and about 10 directors at the time, gigantic multimillion dollar budget, of course.
01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:19.199
And the nation's coming, like I'm talking a thousand people a night, every single night.
01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:23.599
Although after six months, they did take off, we did take off Mondays.
01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:28.079
So just imagine that for 12 years, and we came in around about year five.
01:02:28.559 --> 01:02:33.360
And and there was a conference every month, and the whole room was filled.
01:02:33.599 --> 01:02:45.280
Oh, I mean, it was two, three thousand people at a big conference, and so we we start meeting all these anointed men and women of God, and we're like, wow, what is this?
01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:47.119
You know, this is just incredible.
01:02:47.280 --> 01:03:12.320
And just to sit under that, and you know, we got stuck into the local church as well very much because uh we had our children, and um we did several different roles, but one of the big ones was that Duncan helped John in the reorganization following um the Twin Towers, um, that stopped a lot of people traveling in, especially from the US.
01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:17.119
And then there was a like a SARS-CoV-virus in 2003.
01:03:18.639 --> 01:03:42.000
So there was like it was a season of change and innovation, and what we didn't realize that that what had been a gathering place of revival, God was turning the switch and making it like a scattering phase and was kind of h helping us reposition as a ministry to start going to the nations ourselves a lot more.
01:03:42.079 --> 01:04:02.800
So the nations came to us for 12 years, but then after that, we just launched Catch the Fire, renamed Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship to uh well, we didn't rename Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, but we we renamed we we named a new part of the expression of the ministry, the outward expression of the ministry around the world.
01:04:02.880 --> 01:04:04.559
We named it Catch the Fire.
01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:10.079
And uh we started just doing all kinds of events all over the world.
01:04:10.239 --> 01:04:11.599
Many in the team did that.
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:12.880
Later schools.
01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:17.119
I was really pioneering that in the uh developing nations of the world.
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:20.719
John was really going for it all over the world already, many others were.
01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:37.679
And and during that time, we would we were sort of you know training and equipping, and pastors were getting, you know, wrecked and wonderfully touched in the Holy Spirit, and their churches were getting turned upside down in a wonderful, healthy way and turned inside out.
01:04:38.000 --> 01:04:42.239
And revival was exploding around the world, and still is, by the way.
01:04:42.320 --> 01:04:46.400
We're still in this same revival, it's just going all the way to the nations now.
01:04:46.880 --> 01:05:01.440
And the the amazing thing, though, was that we began, the Holy Spirit began to show us, particularly Kate and I, that um the revival was really all about God coming to dwell with us.
01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:06.960
He wasn't just that old cliche of he didn't just come for a visitation, he was looking for a habitation.
01:05:07.679 --> 01:05:22.960
And we realized that January the 20th, 1994, God, the essence of catch the fire and the essence of the revival was really that God saw in John and Carol and the people of the church, he saw a people that were so attractive to him.
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:24.880
He just came and dwelt there.
01:05:25.599 --> 01:05:27.760
And and he's never left.
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:36.239
And now we're we he he began to just show us a vision of really planting dwelling places all over the world.
01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:48.960
And we're sitting here now in Raleigh, North Carolina, because after eight years in Toronto, the Lord spoke to Kate and I and asked us to go and plant a dwelling place of his presence in Raleigh, North Carolina.
01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:59.199
And that started a whole church planting phase, and now we have hundreds of catch the fire churches all around the world, and so we've gone from the gathering phase to the scattering phase.
01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:05.119
Now we're in the planting and building phase of this revival and it's just so exciting.
01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:06.320
What the hell is it?
01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:24.480
Weaving together of the details though in that even like you know Rodney Howard Brown, Rodney Clark, yeah, you know.
01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:26.159
And Rodney Bonkey comes in.
01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:30.000
You guys hunger and then boom, look at it all around the world.
01:06:30.079 --> 01:06:30.239
Yeah.
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:31.360
You know, it's incredible.
01:06:31.519 --> 01:06:41.679
I think of all of our revival friends, you know, everyone who loves the presence, I mean there's very, very few that weren't touched by Toronto and by what God did.
01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:50.960
You know, even on the other side of the world in New Zealand, we were in New Zealand at the time and I remember one of the things that marked Toronto for me so much was the contagiousness of it.
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:56.719
You know, people would come and they'd go back and it would just break out in their churches.
01:06:56.800 --> 01:06:59.119
And I remember in New Zealand that's what's happening.
01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:02.400
Yeah, and it's fairly as far away as you can get to keep going.
01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:12.719
And I remember the pastor of a church I I used to visit they really had no idea about the things of the presence of God, you know they weren't revivalists.
01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:18.880
They weren't you know and they went they came back and all of a sudden caberned is like it's breaking out everywhere.
01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:24.400
I actually fell out for the first time myself before when that person came back from Toronto.
01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:26.480
Really I've completely fallen out.
01:07:26.639 --> 01:07:26.960
Yeah.
01:07:27.199 --> 01:07:37.199
Wow and uh and of course it was just I mean I you know the presence of God is just breaking out everywhere and uh and it's incredible.
01:07:37.280 --> 01:07:44.400
So even today all these years later you know what is it I guess it's 30 years later 31 years 32 years later.
01:07:44.719 --> 01:08:15.519
Cracky all these years later it's still rolling and hearing you talk about it waves of it kidding me all over again it's it's so gone do it again gone so special we lined up for revival with you guys and that was that really was a very special moment and I remember like Kate said you know we had never lined up like that.
01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:26.479
We were privileged and didn't realize because we got front row seats and we got straight in and speakers lounges and all of those things and spoke and so on.
01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:50.399
And now the Holy Spirit moves in Asbury and we just said to each other we've got to go and when we went we got there and there was a lineup that was so long it took the entire day and spending the whole day then we bump into you and we spend at least half of that day maybe longer with you two.
01:08:51.119 --> 01:09:00.720
And the Holy Spirit just knit our hearts together and ah feeling his presence all over me right now.
01:09:00.960 --> 01:09:19.680
Well I think that's the thing isn't it that the transference but also like recognizing one another by the spirit and recognizing it's like oh yeah this is the same flow it's the same flow of the Holy Spirit that I'm feeling yes and I'm experiencing hunger draws you in.
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:29.039
It does it's that deep calls to deep you know totally yeah and I I well we were on vacation in Florida and heard of we You just finished the boot camp.
01:09:29.119 --> 01:10:13.039
Yeah but we heard about it we watched for about a day and we still had vacation left and we all looked at each other and went forget the vacation we're gone and we jump in the car from yeah and that and that and that right there's the difference Jody see yeah there were many many people in America at that time and many of them just went on vacation but you didn't you went and you lined up and you lined up for only one thing you money you wanted to meet with Jesus and you wanted to honor him because he's moving and and you know we saw that in you both and and it just bonded our hearts to you.
01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:52.399
Your eyes were fiery yeah and and I can remember do you remember it got to around about six o'clock in the evening and the lineup was slowly inching its way all the way and we you know we went about I don't know however long it was felt like a half a mile we finally get to within you know we could just you could just see the steps and the building and the door and we're like we're probably an hour away and we're like oh Lord just please somehow somehow Lord because we'd heard we'd heard that they were going to shut the doors and that was it.
01:10:52.720 --> 01:10:58.720
I remember and I can remember we all prayed the prayer of agreement that somehow we'd get in.
01:10:59.039 --> 01:12:01.119
Yes and we inched our way up those stairs and it was nail biting whether we'd get in or not and Kate and I got in and you two seats together they gave us four seats together and then they shut the doors not long after yeah and there was a lineup behind the brow of the balcony yeah there was a lineup behind us that was as long as it was in the morning yeah yeah yeah yeah praise God we got in well I I was I was I was amazed with you guys as well because knowing who you were knowing your history Toronto but I remember Duncan you specifically saying you know we're just we're just hungry we're just here to learn and just to receive and um the fact that you guys would spend all those hours still hungry you know um that's right still hungry still chasing Jesus not there at all with some kind of like you know I'm all that in a bag of chips and uh with oh we've had this before you know and um but just that that humility to line up and be hungry for his presence.
01:12:01.439 --> 01:12:20.159
I tell you man I pray that we never ever ever lose that I pray that we never lose that no and yeah the four of us and even those listening may we never lose that no matter how disappointed yeah you know whatever the journey stay hungry because God answers hunger.
01:12:20.319 --> 01:12:30.640
So we always say hunger's the runway for revival and doing our own hunger there's no one else that's gonna make us hungry other than ourselves saying I'm still hungry.
01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:36.399
Wow I've got to have more and that's why I love conversations like this because it just hits you again.
01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:40.640
We're not hungry for something that isn't real we're hungry for something that is real.
01:12:40.800 --> 01:12:44.960
Yes it's Jesus and it's moving on the earth and we've got to have more of it.
01:12:45.199 --> 01:14:09.039
Come on Jody more of him for sure I mean we were we were just visiting John and Carol Arnold last week just to go and hang out with them as stay in their home and they are still still after God's presence oh my goodness do not let go and I'm like Lord if we could just remain like them just pursuing him pursuing him again and again just getting excited that God is still moving in different nations that they're going to it's like that's all we need we need to remain childlike and yeah so amazing amazing now you guys are traveling nonstop um we'll always see you on a plane somewhere else I think you're you know and um all around the world what are you seeing God do around the world what's the general vibe right now in this season oh it there's an awakening all over the nations especially among the young people especially among Gen Z hungry hungry hungry hungry across across denominations as well and you know it's not just in Pentecostal movements or charismatic churches there's a hunger for God that is coming again in a in a generation and you know we've we're seeing that in many different churches many different um nations so it's not like a Western thing is like happening all over the place.
01:14:09.279 --> 01:14:28.960
Yeah and and I think actually there's there's a desire again for the authentic outpouring of the Holy Spirit with church leaders you know many leaders came to Toronto received an impartation their ministries changed and then they got back into the program.
01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:51.279
And it's like the programs are good but without the Holy Spirit the programs have no substance and I think we're seeing people saying wow I was touched 20 30 years ago and there's a real stirring in me again that my church and that we would experience that again um for another generation.
01:14:51.760 --> 01:15:29.520
And so we're we're seeing that as well that people are like asking us questions how do you stay in revival how how what do we need to do to get back to this yeah just like yes like Jody said and what do you tell those yeah well it's what Jody said stay hungry stay thirsty you know and um I I think as well though guys that you know the Holy Spirit spoke to me in Bangladesh and he said we we had we had gone to this incre this meeting that the Holy Spirit set up was three days of meetings with with about 300 pastors.
01:15:29.680 --> 01:16:17.199
Many of them had just come out of the Himalayan mountains foothills of the Himalayas without any knowledge of the meeting just the Holy Spirit said go to such and such a place such and such a time such and such a date and and when you're in a meeting like that and you hear that that's how people have heard to come you suddenly get very very serious about and sober about well Lord don't let me blow this you know and and the first night we're I was with a team and um one of the guys that I was with I have a huge amount of respect for and he said you know I really feel like we should do the baptism of the Holy Spirit and I said well I just I'm not sure I I feel like maybe we could come to that at the end.
01:16:17.359 --> 01:16:30.800
And he's like no I just really feel this strong conviction on it and he he loves he loves that you know in a in a good way and um and so he went for it and the meeting just didn't really go anywhere.
01:16:31.039 --> 01:16:36.720
And I and that's not on him it wouldn't have gone anywhere if I'd been doing it on that subject.
01:16:39.119 --> 01:16:46.640
Yes that well that night I was very jet lagged you can't go any further than Dhaka Bangladesh without coming back to yourself.
01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:53.600
And I I I was lying in my bed trying to sleep and I and I was like Lord where did we go wrong tonight?
01:16:53.840 --> 01:17:06.640
And I felt the Holy Spirit say this He said to me Duncan and I knew he was meaning what you call revival saying revival is the fruit that grows on the tree of the values of the kingdom.
01:17:08.079 --> 01:17:33.920
If you put the values of the kingdom and the values of the kingdom being the love of the Father intimacy with Jesus through the cross union with Christ the oneness with Christ and ministering and um healing of life's hurts hearing the voice of God then ministering in the power of the Spirit is like an is just it's like the supernatural overflow of love filled hearts.
01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:43.279
And so that's what we did the next three days we taught them how to hear the voice of God we taught them how to to walk in the Father's love got them all baptized in the Father's love.
01:17:43.680 --> 01:18:16.720
God that began to start the journey of healing of life's hurts the importance of forgiveness flowing in the grace of God instead of demanding justice staying free of bitter root judgments and inner vows and staying clear of ungodly beliefs in the mind and by the end of those three days when we redid the baptism of the Holy Spirit oh my goodness the place blew up and they all got absolutely so baptized with power that uh we've heard phenomenal reports from what God did afterwards.
01:18:16.960 --> 01:19:13.920
So I learned a lesson right there Ben that that if you go for if you go for the manifestations and if you go for a move of God um it might not happen in the way you hope but if you humble your heart and position your heart to be to encounter the Father in his love to encounter the Son in his grace and your union with him through the cross and burial and resurrection of Jesus and then being introduced to the Holy Spirit that's what will bring you into revival you know you've talked about it a lot but what really did mark what God was doing through Toronto and it was really an a reintroduction or a I don't know what how you describe that to the whole body um about the father's love.
01:19:14.880 --> 01:19:23.600
You know um share share just about that revelation um you know and just just talk about that for a minute.
01:19:23.760 --> 01:19:28.079
Just okay that reintroduction of that that revelation of the father's love and how it changed things.
01:19:28.720 --> 01:20:16.640
Yeah I mean I think we'd always we'd always known Jesus you know we're we meet Jesus when we get saved we we encounter his grace we're we're saved by grace but it's almost like but beware of the father he's harsh and you know for all of us we've had our own filter lenses of our own dads and you know many of them were less than perfect as we know and there was wounded in our heart that kind of well I'm not sure I want to meet Abba father because I'm not sure I can trust that yeah I don't I Jesus is my big brother he's my savior I'm grateful and you know the Holy Spirit he comes with his power but I'm not sure about the love thing.
01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:18.319
I'm not comfortable with love.
01:20:18.720 --> 01:20:42.560
Yes and I think you know the the position of rest as a son or a daughter is really founded in that depth of of love the love of God and I think when we went to Toronto we we actually didn't realize we were hungry for something that we didn't know we needed so much.
01:20:43.199 --> 01:21:49.600
It was like we we always thought it was about serving God working hard for him and just getting by I'm happy to be a servant Jesus to you but not realizing that actually the Father's plan and his heart for us would be that we would marked be marked by adoption as his sons and daughters and that we would have a place and a position of inheritance and we could minister in that place of rest and and so those initial years in Toronto were about meeting our heavenly dad for the first time and and you know having ministry from icons like Jack Frost and Jack Winter and um Ed Pure Ed Purek you know who has a message on um what's the loving father the the loving father but the love that finds you the love that finds you in your brokenness you know the the the part of you that tries to portray and project a super me.
01:21:50.000 --> 01:22:35.359
I'm anointed I'm a man of God I'm a woman of God look at me that that is the search for significance the search for significance in ministry making a name for ourselves creating a platform is like all that stuff began to fall away as we realized we don't need to try we we can rest yeah but our our daddy sees us he he knows where we should be and you know that sovereign move that we made to Toronto where God just lined us up with our future and you know we didn't have to try hard for that we received it as a gift and I think that's been the biggest impact for us then come on that Father we we just want to go where you want us to go.
01:22:35.520 --> 01:22:42.720
Yes we're like we don't have to be in the in crowd no you know we don't give away a business card we don't have a business card.
01:22:43.119 --> 01:22:51.279
We don't need to do that because we can trust you with our lives and we're we're following you and being loved by you.
01:22:54.079 --> 01:23:59.520
And you know that there there's just something that when you encounter love it increases your capacity to be able to see others and love others just for who they are and and that's just been something that we live by that you know even in our local church we we've got relationships and and and people say to us you're just so ordinary you're approachable we can talk to you you don't disappear to a green room between services and we're like of course this is our family this is who God's given us to be family together with so you know we we we just hope we can live a life where people are valued you know yeah we love to we love to walk in God's love and give it away Ben and Jane you know wow we certainly do that we do that's what one of the things we love about you you guys really do exemplify that we've never really had the privilege to get to know uh John and Carol um at all but even just from a distance you can tell that that's something they they really walk in as well.
01:23:59.760 --> 01:24:00.880
You're gonna meet them in Brazil.
01:24:01.119 --> 01:24:02.159
You're gonna love them.
01:24:02.319 --> 01:24:44.239
Yes they're gonna love you especially after this conversation you know this is such a big this is a it's a very vital key that I think still needs a whole other level of revelation amongst so many because there are many who still walk very much in a that orphan mindset in and not really realizing that you know they are they're a son or a daughter you know um of the most high God and it literally changes everything you know I know the fathers did a real work in us with that as well you know like there's no higher title that you can have in the whole universe than being a son of God.
01:24:44.640 --> 01:27:20.319
Come on amazing well we can tell you two walk in love you know you walk in the love of your heavenly father you just do you guys you guys ooze sonship you know yeah wow I'm wondering if while we're talking about this if you can just release that over everyone because you can tangibly feel it here right now yeah wow go for it yeah holy spirit thank you that you're with us all thank you that you're here in this conversation and you're here with every person watching and listening right now thank you for your great love Abba Daddy that we get to call you daddy in that most intimate name not in a reverence but just in pure love that pure acceptance and and we we so need that love and I I pray for every person that listening watching that right now you would just call on them with a blanket of your love that they would encounter and have a baptism in the Father's love in your great love one that like supersedes all our brokenness all our defenses all our disappointments but a love that just overcomes and drives out all fear in our lives and and that you would just position our hearts to receive in a tangible fresh way that would silence the voice of the enemy and I and I just even see now that the father's love and his reassuring presence and and voice is just silencing the accusations and the shame that the enemy has tried to put on people's minds and people's hearts and and and that he's breaking yokes right now even even as he comes and and I just encourage everyone just just let those waves because they come love comes in waves just let those waves just come to that little achy breaky heart that little boy that little girl that didn't receive that love or affirmation from your own father or father figure and maybe ones that have really hurt you and abused you know that his love will come and you just begin to receive receive that pure love that comes from God.
01:27:20.560 --> 01:28:02.239
Yeah I'm a little wrecked listen if anybody's watching if you're watching right now and you've stayed this long first of all done congratulations um if you're feeling something right now what you're feeling is the love of God the very real love of Jesus is real the Father's love and this is what we've all encountered what we've all experienced and honestly Christianity Is not about a religion at all.
01:28:02.399 --> 01:28:04.720
It's not about a list of do's and don'ts.
01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:06.079
It's not about things.
01:28:06.239 --> 01:28:13.119
You know, I was talking to a server, a waitress in a restaurant just this weekend, and I was asking her about Jesus.
01:28:13.199 --> 01:28:19.520
And she says, Well, I'm not really ready to give my life to Jesus because I'm not ready to go to church.
01:28:19.600 --> 01:28:20.560
I'm not ready to do this.
01:28:20.720 --> 01:28:22.000
I'm not ready to do that.
01:28:22.239 --> 01:28:28.319
And what it revealed was that thinking that somehow a relationship with Jesus was a list of things that you have to do.
01:28:28.640 --> 01:28:28.880
Wow.
01:28:29.119 --> 01:28:30.560
And it's not about that at all.
01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:37.840
It was about her saying yes to Jesus and accepting him into her life and being able to walk with him every day.
01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:42.800
Jesus paid a terrible price so he could be in a relationship with you.
01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:49.359
Not to get you in his club, not to get you into some church or anything else, but because he just wanted to be with you.
01:28:49.760 --> 01:28:54.399
The Bible calls him Emmanuel, God with us, God with us.
01:28:54.960 --> 01:28:58.239
It starts with just simply saying yes to Jesus.
01:28:58.479 --> 01:29:02.159
In Acts 2.21, it says, Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:02.560
That's it.
01:29:02.720 --> 01:29:04.079
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord.
01:29:04.159 --> 01:29:10.000
So if you want to do that right now, go ahead in the comments, just put yes, Jesus, and just pray this prayer with me.
01:29:10.079 --> 01:29:10.399
Right now.
01:29:10.479 --> 01:29:11.760
Just say out loud where you are.
01:29:11.840 --> 01:29:13.119
Just say, Jesus.
01:29:13.600 --> 01:29:15.039
I say yes to you.
01:29:16.079 --> 01:29:17.279
I give you my life.
01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:20.319
And I receive what you did for me.
01:29:21.520 --> 01:29:23.359
Please forgive me for my sin.
01:29:24.800 --> 01:29:25.840
Make me brand new.
01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:27.680
Be my Lord.
01:29:28.640 --> 01:29:29.439
Be my savior.
01:29:30.399 --> 01:29:31.119
Be my father.
01:29:31.439 --> 01:29:32.000
Be my father.
01:29:32.239 --> 01:29:32.960
Thank you, Jesus.
01:29:33.199 --> 01:29:33.680
Thank you, Jesus.
01:29:34.000 --> 01:29:34.399
Amen.
01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:34.960
Amen.
01:29:35.359 --> 01:29:35.600
Amen.
01:29:36.159 --> 01:29:36.399
Amen.
01:29:37.279 --> 01:29:41.119
Friend, if you just did that, I want to tell you, you just became brand new.
01:29:41.680 --> 01:29:45.039
There's a book in heaven called The Lamb's Book of Life, a real book.
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:50.319
And right now, angels or the father, somebody, I don't know who the Bible doesn't tell us.
01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:56.560
Someone is writing your name in that book right now, in the actual Lamb's Book of Life.
01:29:56.800 --> 01:29:57.119
Come on.
01:29:57.359 --> 01:29:59.600
Go to the link on our website when this is over.
01:29:59.680 --> 01:30:00.880
It's also in the description.
01:30:01.039 --> 01:30:02.880
Pour it out.org slash Jesus.
01:30:03.039 --> 01:30:05.199
We've got some further resources and out there for you.
01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:08.000
And welcome, welcome to the family of God.
01:30:08.239 --> 01:30:08.479
Come on.
01:30:08.880 --> 01:30:09.760
You just got saved.
01:30:09.840 --> 01:30:11.039
Your sins were forgetting.
01:30:11.199 --> 01:30:13.920
It just became brand spanking new.
01:30:14.079 --> 01:30:14.479
Come on.
01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:15.279
Come on.
01:30:15.920 --> 01:30:16.399
Well.
01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:20.159
Well, um, well, Duncan and Kate, we're not quite done.
01:30:20.319 --> 01:30:20.960
Not quite done.
01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:31.039
If if this was the last podcast, the last recording, the last record of you guys ever, what would you like to have said?
01:30:31.199 --> 01:30:33.199
What would you like to have been recorded?
01:30:35.279 --> 01:31:12.640
Well, when you were asking earlier about what is God doing right now, what we have been really sort of carrying and kind of feel a burden for is that another generation will get to tell their story of encountering God in his love and experiencing their own revival outpouring and not to be a spectator of something that happened back in 1994, but actually no, this this is for me and my generation.
01:31:13.359 --> 01:31:32.399
That you know, our prayer is that our grandchildren who are you know part of our church and part of our family, of course, but they would themselves realize that they are the carriers of the kingdom and revival for their generation, for their time.
01:31:32.800 --> 01:31:57.840
And even though we see in the world things are getting hard and difficult, and it really feels like we're coming close to the end, that these young people would have such a fire, just like we were when we were young, just like you two were when you first really that that would be the same thing, that the gospel of the kingdom would just grip them in the same way.
01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:00.319
That that's what I'm really burning for right now.
01:32:01.039 --> 01:32:03.600
That's making me cry, Kay, when I say amen to that.
01:32:03.760 --> 01:32:05.039
That's the cry of our hats.
01:32:05.920 --> 01:32:06.399
Yes.
01:32:06.640 --> 01:32:17.840
And I think that I would just add simply that if this was the last thing that I could ever say, it would be this that may we always remember that it's all about Jesus.
01:32:18.319 --> 01:32:21.439
It's all for him, it's all by him, and it's all through him.
01:32:21.680 --> 01:32:31.760
So even when we're baptized in the Father's love, it's really that experience is really ultimately for Jesus.
01:32:32.399 --> 01:32:43.439
Because we get to be sons just like him, and we get to love him with daddy's love, which is the only love that he's actually worthy of being loved with.
01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:52.079
And you even if it's the healing of of our hearts and healing of our bodies, yes, it's for us, but it's really all for Jesus.
01:32:52.479 --> 01:32:59.600
So that we can just love him so, so very well because he's worthy of that love, because that's the love he's loved us with.
01:33:00.079 --> 01:33:07.359
And so may we always love him with his love, and may he we may he always be pleased with us.
01:33:07.920 --> 01:33:11.600
And so I think that it's it's so all for Jesus.
01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:39.279
Everything is all about him, and every encounter that we ever have, it's it's it's so easy for us to get caught up in ourselves in that encounter, but but when we remember that that very encounter is really all for him, then that's when we really find our the fullness of joy, because we were created to live lives that are worthy of him and pleasing to him.
01:33:39.680 --> 01:33:49.840
And really, you know, it was the Moravians who who really caught that and just said, May the Lamb receive the reward of his suffering, the nation as his inheritance.
01:33:50.720 --> 01:33:56.960
And and that's that's the last words that I would want anybody to hear from my lips.
01:33:57.119 --> 01:34:08.000
That may my life, Kate's life, your lives, and the lives of every every human being, may our lives be fully lived out all for Jesus.
01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:09.279
Yeah, amen.
01:34:10.159 --> 01:34:18.239
I know the longer we've talked, I think it would be fair to say it's like from um the Bible where they said, Did not our hearts burn within our lives?
01:34:21.199 --> 01:34:26.000
And I know that I know that the presence of revival is here, which is Jesus.
01:34:26.239 --> 01:34:42.479
Holy Spirit is in this conversation, and you guys, as we've said, you head up, you carry that, you head up a global movement that was birthed in probably the most or one of the most significant modern revival movements of this generation, and we need a new one.
01:34:42.640 --> 01:34:44.000
Can you just release the fire over?
01:34:44.399 --> 01:34:45.359
You guys carry it on.
01:34:45.520 --> 01:34:48.479
You literally pour it out.
01:34:48.800 --> 01:35:09.279
In the mighty name of Jesus, we ask you, Father, that you would pour out your fire on every single one of us, on every person who ever listens to this, watches it on YouTube, listens to the podcast, fire on all of you in the mighty name of Jesus.
01:35:09.520 --> 01:35:26.800
Father, we ask you that you would literally pour out uh unprecedented level of glory and anointing and the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the likes of which no other generation has ever, ever experienced in all of history.
01:35:27.039 --> 01:35:34.399
Lord, would you just pour, would you pour out your spirit upon us, upon the next generation, upon Gen Z and Gen Alphas?
01:35:34.640 --> 01:35:49.439
And Lord, may it be the greatest revival that never ends and ushers in the return of the king, the return of our beloved Jesus, riding on the clouds with the great trumpet blast and uh the great victory.
01:35:49.680 --> 01:35:57.439
So, Lord, prepare your bride, prepare the world, and come in global revival fire in Jesus' mighty name.
01:35:57.600 --> 01:36:02.159
Lord, we pray for billions of souls to be safe in our lifetimes.
01:36:03.199 --> 01:36:18.560
Yes, and and I add to that prayer, and every person watching and listening, that you would know that you are a carrier of the fire and the presence of God, that there would literally be like heat coming out of your hands.
01:36:18.880 --> 01:36:20.720
You just feel that intensity.
01:36:20.880 --> 01:36:24.880
Some of you are experiencing that fire in your body.
01:36:24.960 --> 01:36:40.000
You have been marked by the kingdom of heaven, by God Himself, and He's He's like putting a torch in your hand, and and for you to run with and to carry, like the Olympic torch that we we all run our race.
01:36:40.159 --> 01:36:51.119
And I just see that the Holy Spirit is as anointing many of you right now, just with a boldness and a confidence that comes from the baptism of fire.
01:36:51.279 --> 01:37:02.479
So just every heart, just receive and let the glory of heaven just come on your life and see him lead you and direct you in ways that you've not even thought possible.
01:37:02.720 --> 01:37:03.039
Yeah.
01:37:03.359 --> 01:37:03.920
Amen.
01:37:04.079 --> 01:37:05.680
In Jesus' name, amen.
01:37:06.159 --> 01:37:06.560
Amen.
01:37:07.920 --> 01:37:10.319
I'm feeling that my hands are burning.
01:37:10.560 --> 01:37:16.000
I know those listening are just get it, guys, get it.
01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:23.119

01:37:27.840 --> 01:37:28.560

No, no, he's sure as Lenin.
