Russia as a nation is poised to to be a key nation in this end-time revival. Bob Jones prophesied that God will raise up a red army that will gather a great end-time harvest. This prophetic word has changed our view on the need to focus on Russia as an important end-time nation.
The conference started in an unusual way, with worship teams from around Siberia gathering together at the conference. Some of them traveled more than 800 hundred kilometers to be there. That evening different youth bands took the stage to either lead worship or perform a rendition of their favorite worship songs. The presence of God was very real from the start of this conference, as there was a deep hunger and desire to see His presence manifested. Dr. Richard William stirred the participants to reach for glory. It is not good enough to walk in the status quo. God made us to manifest His glory and that His glory would be displayed through our life on a daily basis!
The first morning started with a leader's seminar. There is a new breed of Christian leaders in Russia. They were born in the midst of God's outpouring in the 80's. Their hearts are pure and their passion real. They are sincere in seeing revival. They are desperate for it more than any nation we have seen before. There was a time of deep worship. The variety of different teams leading praise and worship brought the worship level and standard to new heights. Dr. William taught on walking in Dominion. The critical ingredient the church needs to be effective in this generation is to walk in Dominion. Dominion is not an option but a fulfillment of God's promise that we will do great things in the last days. The greatest example was the early church. The early church members walked in Dominion. The result was they turned the world upside down. They did not flinch in the face of adversity but confronted it with God's power and anointing. The level of expectation was raised. The leaders responded with a deep hunger for a move of God in their churches and ministry.
At the first evening, the worship took off with great anticipation and excitement for the manifestation of God's presence. Dr. William spoke on how to believe God for a revival. The text used was the story of the four lepers in 2 Kings 7. God uses not the most gifted but the most available. The lepers were a distortion of God's image. In spite of their physical condition, God could use them in a very powerful way to birth a national revival. They could not go backwards and they could not stay. The only option for them was to go to the enemy's camp and they chose that - the worst option. Sometimes the worst option presents the greatest possibility. Our surrender births God's miracle. God is not looking for our agreement but only our obedience. The call was given - the call to surrender and the call to obey. The altar was packed with individuals with a burning passion to see Christ alone exalted in their life. The Holy Spirit fell with such intensity and power. Some were overwhelmed by His power, while others were infused with a great passion and zeal to give their all for the glory of Jesus Christ.
The second morning was a leader's seminar. The hall was filled with hungry youth leaders desperate for a revival. There was passion in the air as Dr. William took to the stage to teach on developing a winning attitude. He challenged the youth leaders to aim high and to never quit in spite of the difficulties they faced. He challenged them to depend on the Holy Spirit's power for new strategies to reach the youth in their cities.
At the second night we had a visitation of the Holy Spirit. It was a special night as the young people took a vow of commitment to stay pure till marriage. There is no better way to bring a conclusion to a youth conference than making a practical commitment to honor God in their physical body. Following this time of commitment and consecration, the worship was led by Dimitry Tikhonov. It was probably the most intense youth worship ever seen at a conference. The simple reason being, the hunger and desire for God brought His presence. Our hunger is fundamental. The degree to which God shows up depends on our hunger. From the start there was a yearning, a cry for a manifestation of His presence.
Our goal has always been simple: God take over and man moves out of the way. That was exactly what God did. There was no preaching. Actually there was no need for preaching. When God can find such hunger and fire, there is no need for preaching or exhortation.
The conference concluded with many miracles, physical and emotional healings, and out of body experiences. Several individuals had encounters with angels and a glimpse of heaven's glory. The place was shaken as it was set on fire. To God be the glory!
On the Sunday, Dr. William spoke at the three services of the Krasnoyarsk Christian Life Church. The manifestation of God's presence began to impact the meetings. That Sunday was very significant as it was the celebration of victory day throughout Russia. It was the day when over 2 million Russians gave their lives to push back the invading German forces during the Second World War. Dr. William both encouraged and challenged the church to rise up and seize the moment of history. Dr. William also ministered at a drug rehabilitation centre, a businessmen's meeting and the TBN/Krasnoyarsk Christian TV.
As a nation, Russia is on the verge of a great revival. The churches are hungry for a fresh move of God. We strongly believe God is going to use the Russian believers in a new and powerful way. The world is going to see the rise of a great Christian army in Russia. We are living on the edge of a great outpouring of God in the former Soviet Union!
