What God did in me and my family through Carry the Fire changed our lives forever! I have never liked mornings. Getting up early felt miserable, and I would dread how I might feel the rest of the day if I did. But the first time I heard Jesse‘s testimony about getting up at 5 AM and relentlessly pursuing God to pour out his Spirit, it sparked something in me. For a couple of months, my heart stirred with a growing conviction that the most important thing for my life was to be filled with His Spirit and know His voice. I determined in my heart that I would not relent in pursuing him every morning until he encountered me as I saw in the Bible and heard from Jesse‘s testimony. Two weeks later, my life and my family‘s lives were forever changed by what the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart. Since then, I have joined several men in pursuing God‘s heart through Carry the Fire. I have grown with them and grown in confidence in my walk with God. My days have been filled with more purpose and focus as I operate from a place of connection with God. I have firsthand experience that the kingdom of heaven is not far away, and those reaching out to take hold of it are experiencing it, individually and even more in community."
