God's Revival Firestorm 

"Alan's words to the Conference about his vision were exciting and his voice rang across the harbour. He told about God's promise to him that He would renew Australia from the time white man first came to this land. 

"Suddenly my thoughts raced off:  'Why would God only renew the land from the time white people came?  Wouldn't He renew it right back from the beginning of man's spoiling this land He had created - back when the first  people came?'

"Then the thoughts were even stronger - somehow, not my own - almost a vision or picture rather than just words: 

'That's right!  I will renew the land - from the beginning!  I have lit a fire at Elcho!  That's what I did last year ...the struggles.....that night of prayer and warfare....  I have lit a spark there, that will light fires all over the land! It will go from black to black all over the land, and from black to white.  I will renew the whole land and it will go beyond Australia to other lands!'

"Well, that really set my thoughts racing, and I said: 'Lord, this has to be the wildest dream I have ever had!!  If that is really from YOU, please confirm it!'

"The excitement in the crowd rose at God's promise through Alan's message that He would renew the land - and everyone stood to praise God loudly.  A ship moved past the Opera House on the harbour and gave a long blast on its fog horn - it seemed to join the crowd in shouting 'Praise the Lord!'

".... and our 6 year old daughter turned to June and said: 

'Mummy, was that a didgeridoo?'

"  'O.K. Lord, that will do for a start of the confirmation!'  "
