Okay, I don’t know how to write this…so here goes. The Lord would not let me sleep last night. I prayed until 4:00 in the morning. God gave me a vision, for a spontaneous revival THIS WEEK! I am announcing this weekend, with no preparation time, that Bay Area Fellowship is calling our city (not just our church) to seek God like never before. We are having meetings, called SPONTANEOUS starting this Wednesday, (our first Wednesday I will be preaching after the music, and we are recording a live DVD project at the same time….I believe not an accident). We will also have SPONTANEOUS on Thursday night at 6:30 PM, Friday night at 6:30 PM, and continuing into our regular weekend service times.
I can’t explain this sudden crazy act other than to be as honest as I know how. I feel like a spiritual freak show right now, because God has given me every indication that I am to speak from Jeremiah (he was massively rejected…yet also massively used by God). All I know is that God has called me to personal repentance, to admit my sorry lack of holiness, throw myself before Him, and call on Him to show His glory this week. I am so grateful! I am so amazed at what He is doing in my heart right now! I have asked God to show His glory this week in our church, in our community, and in His church all over our town and beyond.
A CALL TO PRAYER
I am asking anyone and everyone to please pray for me. I know this sound selfish, but I don’t want your prayers for me, I want your prayers to ask God to “hide Bil behind the cross, God’s glory.” And please, I beg you, ask God to bring a revival to our town, our church, and especially , ask God to let it start with you. I don’t know what’s going to happen, because I am not trying to manufacture a “move of God,” I am simply obeying what God is leading me to do. Pray for us!
Praying for you bro... God show up in a BIG way in Bill's life and in his community... do the supernatural

It is amazing to see what happens when someone truly seeks God. I will be praying for you. I will pray for you for an hour tonight. God bless you Bil.

Hi Bil, I had a "drug" problem as well growing up, except in the Catholic church (drug to Church every week!!). Not being Baptist, I had to look up the definition of a "Revival" and the best definition I could find was "an evangelistic meeting intended to reawaken interest in religion." I am praying for you and everyone that attends BAF this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I am praying the fire for the love of God we have in our hearts will be supercharged, and that we will rekindle a new love for Him by stepping out and sharing His love with others (and multiply!). God Bless You!

So glad to see God has continued to bless your ministry and sweet family. Can't wait to share what the stork dropped off 12 years later...she is a miracle :)!

Something BIG is happening here at Bay Area Fellowship, here in Corpus Christi! It's exciting to see God at work in His people. Praying for you, Bil, for Bay Area Fellowship, for our city, for our nation. May God's blessings be upon you now and always!
