I continue to hear the cry for Revival in America, and around the World. However, as I see three things must happen.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (HCSB) “My people who are
called by My name humble themselves, pray and seek My face, and turn from their
evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their
land.”
·
Transformation of Individuals Hearts within
the Church to live a Holy and Righteous Life!
·
Reformation within the Church,
pastors and members return to the Biblical Mandate of Christ for the church.
·
Proclamation of the Gospel to
a lost generation that needs to hear about the Love of Christ. Sharing our faith, not our opinions!
Personally, when studying
the history of Revival … I don’t see Revival happening on the street corners,
in the bars, at the workplace, or in the schools until it first happens in the
Church!
I like how J.I. Packer
pastor and theologian who at the age of 93 recently passed away put it:
“Revival is the visitation of God which
brings to life Christians who have been sleeping and restores a deep sense of
God's near presence and holiness. Thence springs a vivid sense of sin and a
profound exercise of heart in repentance, praise, and love, with an
evangelistic outflow.”
It
is time for a major Transformation, Reformation, and Proclamation
throughout the World by the Church of God!
