“… you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering. 23 You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things.” (Hebrews 12:22-23)
Ever since Christ’s advent on earth, there has been a universally steady stream of gatherings to honor His person and purposes. He instructed His early followers to wait in their place of original encounter until they were empowered to carry out His great assignment,1 after which they dispersed and traversed various regions and generations across the globe to accomplish their task.2 With every dispersion and dispensation, there was always a homecoming, an occasion to regroup, refuel, enjoy sweet camaraderie and rapport, be reenergized for the great assignment, receive renewed strategies and marching orders, and be dispatched again. This pattern continues for the Emergents and Resurgents who have responded to their noble callings. Their Manual for Living instructs regular gatherings with one another for continued learning, refinement, education, inspiration, and equipping.3
Beyond these regular meetings, another set of gatherings has been occurring with increasing global intensity and cadence. These convergences of God’s people are high-powered meetings designed to elevate and equip them to the next levels. They are holy convocations, aligning each open-hearted and prepared individual with God’s current strategies within His great purpose, and are life-changing, destiny-advancing encounters. God’s might and power are released and experienced in unprecedented measure,4 and multitudes of individuals are transformed and repurposed for high impact living and revolutionary exploits!5
Friend, are you making the time, room, and necessary sacrifices for what God wants to do in and through you in this season, or is it business as usual? Are you an active, vibrant participant in the GREAT CONVERGENCE? God wants YOU … in His indomitable global army!
