What a special way to end the Saturate Digging the Wells of Revival Tour in Locust, North Carolina August 12-14, 2021 led by Parker and Jessi Green. It felt as if though the momentum continued to increase from meeting to meeting throughout the tour. There was so much acceleration, increased glory, and anointing every time we gathered.
Night 1: Continuing the Momentum from Kentucky
Saturate Global’s final stop of the tour found us in Locust North, Carolina August 12-14, 2021 where we were hosted by Pastor Alan Didio and his Encounter Today team who prepared the way so incredibly. They even walked the grounds and prayed over the land daily in the weeks leading up to the revival meetings. The first night of the event on Thursday August 12, Jessi preached with passion, spontaneous baptisms took place, many got saved, healed, and delivered. Pastor Alan also shared a fiery word and Ben Hughes released healing.
Night 2: Swept up in a Moment with Heaven
Night two of the event, Friday August 13, happened to be the anniversary date of the Moravian Pentecost that took place in 1727 which later went on to birth the 24-7 prayer movement, the protestant mission’s movement and more. Jessi began the evening session with a salvation altar call right from the start. Then Parker preached and helped us recognize the weight of how one small seed can grow into a massive tree. He also released a blessing and charge over all the men gathered.
As people came up to get baptized, I will never forget watching one little girl realize the weight of her yes to get baptized and break into tears into her father’s arms. She got marked and then fell out in the Spirit afterwards, along with her little sister who also got baptized and then her parents also went down under the power of God. It was a family affair!
The band played the Yesua song, baptisms were happening, and then during all the craziness, there was a moment I will never forget. In the midst of all of baptisms and deliverances taking place, and as worship was continuing on, we were all swept up into another realm of glory. I remember at one point I stopped praying for people and just looked around to recognize what was happening. Others felt a shift too. Those at the baptism tanks stopped baptizing and lifted their hands in worship to the King of kings.
Heaven broke in and apprehended us. We all experienced greater realms of glory. It felt like we were in the middle of a war zone, on the front lines helping people get set free when suddenly, God Himself descended upon us with His tangible manifest presence. We had to pause everything to simply worship and adore Him face to face. It was a radical reminder that He was right there in our midst in a powerful way.
Night 3: Kabod Glory
For our final night (August 14) of our North Carolina revival tour and our whole summer of Re-digging the Wells of Revival tour, we found ourselves huddled up together under the tent to find refuge from the rain.
Worship was fire from the start. The hunger under the tent was palpable. Jessi Green preached with passion, and then called people to line up in one of the following 4 lines depending upon what they needed: salvation, healing, deliverance, more of Holy Spirit. I went over to the more of the Holy Spirit line and prayed over hungry ones. So many fell out in the Spirit and got marked with His fire. Was beautiful to see the children getting touched too.
Later on, Jessi had Taylor sing her anointed song Like a Fog Rolling in, Consume Me song about asking God to consume us completely. Then we all sat in silence and the weighty Kabod glory increased and continued to descend upon us with increasing measure before spontaneous worship broke out.
It was so weighty, I could barely even open my eyes. Then after a while in the thick glory, worship began again with some more upbeat songs and people were dancing around. I felt so heavy though, I could barely move my legs, let alone get engage with the dancing now taking place. I was like dead weight, still heavy from the glory. I was undone. I was completely saturated in His presence and had trouble functioning after that time. I was filled to overflowing with His glory that permeated my very being.
This was one of my favorite nights of the whole tour and one where I felt the increase of God’s heavy weighty glory in a powerful way. He truly does save the best wine for last. May you too, be blessed and overshadowed in the heavy weighty kabod glory of God today. As you seek His face, may He pour out His new wine in and through your life in increasing measures. Thanks for joining us on this journey. More to come soon…
