There are too many stories of strange conversions from surprising pockets of Western society—and within my own church—to not think something new is happening. How might the church respond?
Just came across this post maybe the algorithm but yes this! happened to me about 6 months ago. I didn’t think I actually believed in any of this stuff and I’d given up trying. Then in a July I had a dream - I saw Jesus and He hugged me. I asked Him for help and He said He would. I’m still an absolute wreck just thinking about it - haven’t got anything clever to say but He was so kind and I felt so safe with Him.
Thanks for giving us insight into the Spirit’s workings at Imago and PDX, very encouraging! It made me think of this verse in John: “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
These occurrences you speak of may be new to our experience, but I suspect are not new at all and have been going on for millennia. It’s all so wonderful nonetheless.

Yes! And even, as I said, quite common around the globe...especially the Middle East. I'm praying with you for more here in Portland.
I like it all, and number 4 is really speaking to me. ( Expect the miraculous and pray like it.)
I'm with you, Steve...grateful for you.
It’s an exciting time in Portland, for sure!
Amen!!
Amen!!
YES TO ALL OF THIS!
