RCI Graduation 08

June 28th, 2008

Last Saturday night at Rally Call Center, 11 students graduated from Rally Call Institute. Four of them completed their second year and received a Bachelor of Christian Ministry. We are so proud of all the students and all the effort and hard work that they have done. During the worship, a powerful call was released from the Lord to everyone in the room but in particular the students. “Who will go for Me?” We cried out to the Lord to touch the coal to our lips like in the days of Isaiah. The prophetic began to flow as the Lord stirred His calling in the lives of these students while the worship team flowed in and out of a prophetic response to the question from the Lord. The anointing was so thick in the room you could hardly stand. Following the prophetic flow two of the second year graduates spoke…summing up the last two years and issuing their own challenges. Steve Dyer, from New Song in Grove, OK, challenged the students with a 10 point message and the changing church in the earth. After diplomas where issued, we layed hands on every student to commission them. Many powerful prophetic words were released into the lives of these students. It was a great ending to a great year.

Never in the history..

May 25th, 2008

Again this week, Rally Call Center tapped into the Florida Revival via God TV on-line. Drastically changing our services to plug into what God is doing is both a passion and conviction for us. We are praying and believing that people all over the city of Austin would begin to gather and receive impartation from these services in Florida. Never in the history of the earth have so many people been able to connect to a move of God. Internet and television have made this possible in a way that no other technology of the past has been able to do. We are encouraging and praying that ministries, churches, and prayer groups would take advantage of this incredible ability and dive head long into the move of God in this season. Austin has been praying for revival and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit for years. Now is the time to embrace that for the city.

Last night, it was prophesied that those places and people who had embraced the Toronto Renewal of the 1990’s would be revisited by God if they would only embrace and prepare the way for this new move. For us at Rally Call Center, this is significant since we helped steward the renewal movement for over two years during those days. In addition, Austin was one of the cities that experienced the Toronto Renewal. So last night we prayed and re-dug those wells of revival. Let is come Lord!

Florida Revival

May 17th, 2008

Tonight we tapped into a live feed of the Florida Revival. Shouts of praise and desperation for God to move among us began to flood the building as we joined in the worship that was happening in Lakeland. There was singing, dancing, shouting, crying, and laughing throughout the night. As Todd Bentley began to ask for testimonies of healings we took a moment to have people give testimonies of their own. Three or four people stood to testify of a physical healing. God’s manifest presence was powerful, tangible, and at times overwhelming.

At Rally Call Center, we are believing that the outpouring that is happening in Lakeland, Florida will also break out in Austin. So stay tuned to future dates where we will web-cast the meetings that are happening in Florida. We are asking the Lord to help us steward this outpouring in Austin. We are truly believing for an impartation for this city.

A prophetic flow began to be released in the worship as Adam and team began to sing “God invade the earth” over and over and over. Out of that prophetic release, Bob asked all the business people in the room to step into the aisle for God to release a fresh anointing over them. Others of us began to lay hands on those that filled the aisles.

Towards the end of the worship, Art began to prophesy over some visitors from Laredo, TX. God released a powerful apostolic anointing and grace over their lives and over that gate of the nation. We began to ask God to release His fire and His glory over our borders. Many laid hands on those from Laredo.

Bob then taught out of II Corinthians 10:12 – 13

Each of us has a measure of ministry or calling that comes from God whether that is a calling from God to be a plumber or an engineer or preacher. This calling is more relational than geographical and more functional that positional. Paul had a relationship with the Corinthian church. Your calling is a process. It’s always growing and changing. Paul originally only knew what God, through Ananias, told him in Acts 9. So all he had to do is release the revelation He had. This is our assignment and calling. Eventually Paul was able to release the fullness of his calling. Our measure of calling is about assignment, authority, and anointing. Through Paul’s life the fullness of what he was told in Acts 9 was fulfilled. Our calling is a lifetime process, and God unfolds it as He wills. This word is an encouragement to all who are pursuing their destiny.

“SIR SMITH”, better known to us at Rally Call as Lionell, and his worship team ministered tonight at Rally Call Center. Their musical talent and their unique and passionate style brought life and joy to the hearts of those who had gathered to worship. Life simply filled the room as people danced, shouted, and sang. The worship can really be summed up in one word…FUN!

Lionell and his team led us into a time of prophetic intercession. Lionell had been prophesying over the destiny of America throughout the worship. At one point, Art and Bruce prophesied about revival and awakening and Austin’s part in this release of spiritual gifts and fresh stirring was released by two or three different people. Nicholas, who had been painting in the back during the service, raced up to the front with a painting of fire. He then prayed and prophesied concerning the fire of the Lord. Lati came forward to release a word out of Joel 2, while Allison came to release words of personal destiny over us. As
the worship concluded, Lionell declared Exodus 2 over us. The “right hand” of the Lord will deliver us and deliver this nation!

Many from Rally Call then gathered around Lionell and his team to pray, prophesy, and minister. There was a strong release of prophetic impartation over each individual and the team as a whole. It was a glorious night, and I believe the Lord’s heart was pleased.

Tonight at Rally Call Center, Scotty Crawford and his worship team from Brownwood, TX came to minister in worship. The worship focused on the resurrection power of the Lord. Victory and celebration exploded as dancing and shouting broke forth.

Towards the end of the worship, a strong prophetic word was released concerning the future of America. God began to declare that the history of the past in America was going to merge with the present so that an awakening could be released in the near future. God is causing the awakenings of the past to merge with the apostolic/prophetic movement of today so that the greatest harvest America has ever seen could come forth. He commanded us to not look at the natural circumstances, but instead we are to look to the harvest and the power of the resurrection that would bring in that harvest.

Following the prophetic word, we began to sing about running to the light and the freedom from sin. We prayed and called in the harvest…commanding them to be released from the darkness and deception that hold them captive.

Bob then began to preach from Luke 5 declaring that God is going to begin to make a demand on the deposit that He has placed in us. He commanded them to go back out into the deep despite the fact that they were tired so that a great catch (harvest) would come. Peter simply responded to the word of the Lord. He trusted Jesus’ timing…time to cast the nets out again in spite of the failure of the past. There was such a great catch that the nets were breaking so they had to be tenacious in order to bring in the blessing. As the blessing came they called to their partners. It took a team to accomplish the task and come into their destinies and bring in a great harvest.

Let us do the same!

Greg Barnes led us into shouts and declarations of praise about God’s unchangeable nature. Many began to release the songs of their hearts as a spontaneous chorus of the Lord came forth.

Bob then talked about the components for revival and for your individual miracles. These things are things that need to be cultivated in our lives and even guarded so that the enemy doesn’t rob them of these things.

I. Hope – Proverbs 13:12

  1. Hope is a tree of life.
  2. An expectancy of the future should be full of hope.
  3. Hopelessness comes when there is disappointments
  4. Often we can miss the miracles of God when we are hopeless simply because we can’t see the miracles God has sent. (e.g. Moses speaks a word of deliverance to the people of God who were in slavery in Egypt. They were so hopeless that they couldn’t hear the word of the Lord because of their despondency. The prophetic word of the Lord is needed to break hopelessness.)

II. Hunger – Matthew 5:6

  1. God has promised that we would be satisfied as we hunger.
  2. It’s hunger for truth and the knowledge of God.
  3. Spiritual hunger will lead you into places you wouldn’t normally go.

III. Humility – Matthew 26:31 – 33

  1. Peter was not humble in his declaration, but he was sincere. All the passion in the world, however, couldn’t make this happen.
  2. We are incapable of making the miracle happen. We can’t make it happen, but we do have to play our part by engaging in both hope and hunger.

Holy, Holy, Holy! As dancing, shouting, and celebration ascended to the throne, God descended into our midst to declare Colossian 2:15. When this scripture was declared corporately, a prophetic word was released that the Lord was public humiliating the structures in Austin that are resisting Him in the city. In particular, God was targeting Jezebel, declaring that her hold over the city was being humiliated. His fire and His throne’s glory is being released against this demonic structure. Shouts and roars came forth followed by a song of God’s fire. As this song came forth, red flags and red/orange streamers were being waved while some shouted and freedom.

Following the worship and intercession time Doug Gephart brought for a word titled “Discontinuity Defines Dominion”

He defined discontinuity as the contradiction of our lives with the things of the world. God’s dominion is a discontinuity from the fallen dominion of darkness. Doug, therefore, made three points.

Defining - Each of us are carriers of His dominion in the earth. We are the discontinuity when compared to the world. Eg. Paul was the man who through the anointing of God was performing extra ordinary miracles.

Developing - We must develope personal spiritual disciplines in order to fully demonstrate the dominion of God. Fasting, prayer, study of the word as a matter of a lifestyle was the norm of the New Testemant Church that walked in great authority and power.

Deploying - We no longer have option to blend into the culture. We must take action based off the power and authority that Christ has given us. We must be His express the dominion of God in the earth where ever God has assigned us.

What a challenging word!

I don’t think that tonight’s Rally Call meeting can be fully described in human words. The worship team, led by Deb Griffin, took us immediately into a place of warfare. It was strong, it was powerful, and it was full of authority. And then, somehow, out of that place of warfare in the spirit, we shifted into an intense crying out for more of God. It wasn’t a sweet and intimate flow…it was more of a passionate cry to really know Him - to know His glory, to know His fullness, to know HIM so that we would have fresh strategy and war from a higher place.

This passionate and zealous cry released a prophetic word about knowing God as if God, Himself, was crying out to us and even for us to KNOW Him. He was releasing a sound on our behalf that He knew that we couldn’t make, therefore, by His grace He was releasing what He knew we want in our hearts - to KNOW HIM.

All the while, the worship team is flowing in and out of spontaneous and prophetic song. We were lifted to new heights in the spirit.

Bob then ministered out of Philippians 3:10 - 11 talking about the deep passion in Paul to know Jesus, one, in the power of His resurrection and, two, in the fellowship of His suffering. In the Greek language, however, these two thing merge into one. They are intertwined and inseparable.

It was simply one of the most incredible nights in God’s presence. Indescribable.

Tonight was all about gratitude. Person after person took the microphone during the worship to release public declarations and prayers of thanksgiving to the Lord. While some expressed thankfulness for the cross and God’s never ending grace, others gave testimonies of the physical and emotional healing they have experienced in recent days.

From this position of gratitude, we took communion together. Two couples helped distribute the elements while laying hands on each person who came forward to receive the Lord’s table. Prophetic words were released over each person as they received prayer and the elements.

We concluded the service by praying over the Dorris’ because Jon is going to Nepal this week. A team gathered around he and his wife to send him out and release them into the work God has called them to even in Austin. It was truly an Antioch moment.

After our spirit man was fed, we shared a meal together. The food and the fellowship was fantastic!
