I was in Manchester this past weekend. Every time I am in that region it stirs inside of me the idea that worship outdoors should take place on the very land that people gather for Bonnaroo. It makes sense, doesn't it? Saturate the land with praises to our Lord and King Jesus in advance of the secular gathering. Maybe I am the only one that sees the full capacity impact it could have. Think outside the box with me ok. Saturate the land with worship and the worshipers will gather to worship Jesus. The worship is in that piece of land and let's see the move of God that takes place after the worship event. If there is a clarion call, I just know the worship teams would come out to be a part of this. Why am I the only one it seems to be to see this vision in the fields of Tennessee? This has been stirring in me for a few years now.
I was sharing with a friend tonight as I was heading back from Manchester that sometimes I feel like John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness all by myself. It started today, wait lets back this up a bit ok ... I have been to the Martin's revival 3 times now. I was able to pull up a Sean Feucht Let Us Worship recent video. There was an altar call and young people ran to the altar. That stirred my heart immensely, I said I want that I want to see young people run to the altar for Jesus. Holy Spirit asked me if I wanted that and with tears in my eyes I said yes & He told me to go anoint the land. Holy Spirit has been showing me this for a few years about a worship event on the very grounds where Bonnaroo is held each year. I wrote about; shared with others about it; and I sense this every time I am drawn to Manchester, TN. Last year I actually contemplated moving there but nothing appeared to me to either purchase or rent a home?
I did a little research, and this is what I came up with. When I experienced the video, I felt a sense of urgency inside me to go and anoint the ground of the farmland where this secular concert event takes place. It was strong in me today. This is so unlike me to go on these type of Holy Spirit adventures after work on a workday. Usually, these types of adventures driving almost an hour away are done on the weekend. For whatever reason Holy Spirit nudged me for today and I obeyed. I put the address in my WAVE app and off I went. I thought I found it 1st time then passed it by. I drove a little ways and turned around in the church parking lot. I cannot believe I did this; I am a pretty reserved person by nature, you know, a rules follower type. How could I go on property that I did not own and then anoint it with anointing oil? I just did it. A gate was open, and I drove in until Holy Spirit showed me where to stop and I then opened up my car door and gracefully let 3 drops of anointing oil go to the ground. I spoke it represented the blood of Jesus and 3 drops for Father, Son & Holy Spirit. I then drove back onto the road. I wanted to make sure I was at the right location, so I drove around again with it in the WAZE app, and it was. I truly do not know why I was called to do that prophetic act early this evening but I trust Holy Spirit, I truly do. I will tell you this that afterward my feet began to feel heat in them. This happens a lot to me lately, but I do not know the full explanation of what that means. I am starting to guess now that when that happens Jesus is by me, and He is guiding me somewhere to take Him with me to reach out to others with His love.
Earlier today I felt led to sit on my patio for a break and sure enough I captured some hummingbird video. Let me tell you, the place where the Bonnaroo event takes place is Great Stage Park. I first saw me going to anoint the land about little less than a week ago. Holy Spirit usually shows me something to do in advance so when He calls upon me to take action I then spring into action. The Bonnaroo site's I think it is some sort of promo logo stated, "Celebrating 20 Years Of Magic On The Farm." It also states, "Nestled in the heart of Middle Tennessee." Apparently one can rent this farmland for concerts because there are a few other concerts scheduled to take place at this farm also.
I have seen this far too many times now, a vision shown to me to have an outdoor worship event on the very land prior to the Bonnaroo event takes place. Saturate the earth with worship to Jesus and the unsaved will get saved even during their secular event. I do not know how this all works out I just know I have seen this too many times now for a few years now.
I believe I did my part, I carried this in prayer for a bit of time now, tried to share on my blog and with others about this; and now I anointed the land with anointing oil. I take my hands off of this and trust the Lord to do what needs to be done to gather the people together to bring forth worship in Manchester, TN. It is off of the main highway 24, Exit 111B.
