A W Tozer once said, "Sometimes we begin to see ourselves as "nice people" instead of "sinners saved by grace". We have found a comfortable spot and we will not budge." But may I encourage you today sweet friend, do budge...we must budge! Please pray with me that God will fan the fire of revival as we breathe out the call to each other for it!
Collectively as the body of Christ, all over this world, our concern need not be for the lost only, but for the integrity of the One Who’s name we bare. It is not because the lost are dying and going to hell that Revival is so needed, but becasue God's children are blaspheming the name of God through our unrepented hearts and lifestyles.
As America continues to increase in her wickedness by throwing God aside and His laws that once ruled her; the only hope that remains for us is that we turn back... to God. Starting with the church and our Christian homes. We can not blame the degrading morals of America on the lost, but, must take responsiblity ourselves, personaly, individually. Nations perrish because good men stay silent.
“Watch out”, Jesus answered, “For Many will come in my name, claiming to be the Christ, and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these things are the beginning of birth pains. Then, you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other. Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people”, and Jesus continues to explain why all this will come about; Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold…. Matthew 24:4-12
Revival is an extraordinary movement of God's Holy Spirit producing extraordinary results....
May the God of revival deliver us from contentment with the ordinary while He stands ready to do the extraordinary for us!
Praying for us all to want and experience REAL Revival!
