Adventure Breakouts
Our spiritual life is to be an adventure and we are called to have
continual breakout transformations. To encourage us to do this we meet
twice per month for one hour; each member has a transformational
challenge per month. Our desire is to inspire and enjoy our journey to
the heart of God becoming Saturated with the Presence of God.

Saturation of the Presence of God (SPG)
Once finishing HT for
the first time, we have only dealt with one or two sin patterns in our
lives. It is expected that each pilgrim will assist or guide at least
one more group. For each pilgrim, HT should become a vital tool in
continually raising up disciples.
But, what is the vision
beyond our own healing and intimacy with God? Our Lord wants to not
only raise up individual’s that love Him with all their hearts, but
whole communities! These communities can be as alive and as on-fire as
the revivals recorded around the world, movements of God! The vision of
HT is that each pilgrim lives in the “Saturation of the Presence of
God”, leading each person to call out to God to foster this saturation
of the presence of God in their community.
The Christian community
continues to be preoccupied with self and driven by worldly passions and
busyness. Recently, we have been studying the 1700’s and 1800’s
revivals. People in meetings would drop to their knees and
uncontrollably confess and be drawn to pray - individually, as small
groups and in large assemblies. Heart healings took place
- relationships were restored, families were restored, and people came
to Jesus in huge numbers. Christians in these communities had a hunger
and thirst for God that they never had before. It was God coming down
and saturating a community with His presence. It was like a fire coming
from God, moving into the hearts of people, spreading from community to
community. In one case, it went on for 26 years. Millions of people
came to Jesus, and became spiritually impassioned during this period of
what was called “revivals”. We have decided to call this movement of God
“SPG” – the Saturation of the Presence of God! When SPG takes
place, there is a visitation of God that fosters a movement to
holiness. There is a deep confession of sin and the people are freed.
A spirit of compassion for the unconverted overtakes them. Prayer is
prevalent and continuous. There is a confident anticipation of God
doing His work. It all starts in the heart of an individual.
Our world has a great
need for SPG. Most churches do not have a passion and hunger for God.
The people are not compelled to confess, repent and live for Kingdom
purposes only. They are going through the motions of Christianity
without power. Our hearts have all been impacted by Cultural
Christianity. We are caught up with measuring our lives in the world’s
terms vs. Kingdom terms. During a prayer and fasting time on Jan. 12th
& 13th, the Lord revealed that HT is to lead people and
churches to SPG. The saturation of the presence of God took place in
the 1700 & 1800’s in America because people prayed for it - for
themselves and for their community. The Lord led them not only to
pray for the saturation of His presence but also to expect it and work
towards drawing people to it. HT is committed to not only transform
hearts toward loving Him with all, but also to lead communities to SPG.
SPG Opportunities:
“It is written, no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love Him but God has revealed it to
us by His Spirit.” I Cor. 2:9
- Form a small group
that regularly meets (once per month or more) and personally pursues
pure hearts, asking God to saturate you with His presence and bring
SPG to your community. This group, by faith, anticipates that this
will actually take place - immediately or in years to come!
- Each pilgrim
continues to seek the Lord with all their heart.
- The pursuit of
knowing God through His Word and listening to Him and observing
Him.
- We are
offering a 24 month series in booklet form.
- SPG Gatherings and
Celebrations – times of prayer, fasting, encouragement and
celebrations about what God is doing.
