This month’s story actually begins 13 years ago in 2004, the centenary of the beginning of the Welsh Revival, when a humble, yet powerful woman of God receives a vision from God to bring back revival to a land that once was overflowing with the presence of God.
In the vision, she saw sparkling water the colour of sapphire, and it had light within itself. She tried to touch it, but something clear as crystal blocked her hand. She looked up and saw people from many other nations also trying to reach the water. None of us could. She cried out to the Lord, asking why we couldn’t touch it. She heard Him say,
‘It is impossible from your side, but if you sing, the water will rise up and break out.’
At the same time this scripture came into her heart:
“Gather the people together and I will give them water…’Spring up O well! Sing about it, about the well the princes dug, that the nobles of the people sank’” (Numbers 21:16-18).
The nobles were our forefathers who faithfully prayed and saw God come with power.
For three years early every morning a group of people would pray concerning this vision, and what has come forth from that is an international gathering of people who had been touched from the revival of God 100 years ago. It is known as ‘Celebration for the Nations’ aiming at singing to the wells that our fathers dug, so that new fresh waters can spring up again and heal the Nations.
From 2007, for one week in the middle of UK summer, there has been an international gathering near the place Evan Roberts (the Welsh revivalist) was born, in a place called Llanelli and continued for seven years until an outpouring of the Holy Spirit then got demonstrated at a place called Cwmbran in 2013.
Then the Lord lead us to bless other Nations to sing such as the North and South Korea and Japan in 2014 – 2015.
Now we have the privilege to celebrate for Israel. Specifically where the power encounter took place in the Bible, i.e.the powers of darkness meet with Almighty Power, The Lord of Hosts, on top of Mount Carmel. Elijah is called to show who the true God is before all the Baal and Ashtoreth worshippers.
We are calling to worshippers from the four winds. Come and breathe on these slain. Come and sing to the wells that our fathers dug. We gather in obedience to the Lord, that as we sing, the living water will spring up again in the Holy Land.
(Story by Peter)
