Repost, from 7 years ago...The Treasure Island Report: They came from San Jose State University and UC Berkeley to pray for their campus and the students of the Bay Area. We all came hungry to discover God's agenda and to pray about it together. We wrestled in prayer about humbling ourselves and praying and seeking His face, ...and turning from our wicked ways (2 Chron. 7:14).
Then we began to discuss and imagine what our campuses would look like if they were fully alive in Jesus Christ. Inspiring, deep stuff was shared. Beautiful things that stunned a lot of us. We asked the question is revival happening now or are we waiting for it (or both), ...and how we can personally experience revival now and prepare for corporate revival in the future.
The high points of the evening for me were being taught and inspired by their prayers. Hearing one another's hearts for unity and love to break out amongst the entire Body of Christ on each others campus led to a decision at the end of our time to form a "prayer pact" relationship between leaders in the unity movements at Cal & SJSU. A desire to continue what God did at this prayer meeting by praying for corporate spiritual revival on one anothers schools and campus ministries was felt by everyone. Something like this recently sprung up between USC & UCLA called "United in Christ": http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2232046196
The view of San Francisco at sunset over the water was breathtaking. When the lights of The City came on as darkness fell, it stopped me in my tracks. But the most beautiful thing I saw tonight was the united prayers coming from the hearts of these students ...to see their campuses and cities and own lives revived and awakened to fullness of life in Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lord for what you did in our midst tonight. Jesus, help us fan it into full flame in the weeks and months ahead. Holy Spirit move powerfully amongst college student throughout the Bay Area, ...especially this spring.
Tonight was significant. Tonight was more than a spark, ...it was like a flare-up. The kind of flare-up that happens when scattered embers of a fire are gathered together in one spot (and fanned into flame).
Lord Jesus lead on. -daniel
