Eighteeen Days And Counting

Spring Creek Baptist Church is only 18 days and counting from the start of revival meetings. We have been praying and preparing for 52 days. I have done so for much longer. I wrestled with many doubts about such revival meetings. I doubted. I resisted. I tried to dismiss the call from God.

He persisted. He instructed. He convicted. In time, I  repented and submitted. So began this journey of preparation. We started preparing Eater Sunday as a church body collectively. Day by day we have gone through the same devotion material. Material that you can access for free at myspringcreek.org. Just click on the Shake The City tab to get your copy to be used in your life and with your church. Over the course of the past several weeks, God has pointed out blind spots in my life. He has shown the search light of His truth into areas of my life where I fell short of His glory. In some ways it has been a painful time. It has also been liberating.

It is hard to believe we are a little over two weeks away for the first revival meeting. While I cannot see evidence of His reviving work yet, I believe He is working. I trust He will accomplish His purposes. I pray He is preparing all of us.

The first meeting is scheduled for Sunday morning June 21 at 11:00 a.m. On Saturday night June 20 at 7:00 p.m. we will host a revival prayer rally. I will share briefly from His word and we will hold a good old fashioned prayer meeting in the beautiful sanctuary at Spring Creek. I have continuously prayed that God will spread His reviving work to Harmony Baptist Church, Emmanuel, Brock Baptist, Northside, First Baptist, Faith Community and all over Parker County and beyond.

Will you join me in praying Elijah's prayer in I Kings.
1 Kings 18:37 (NASB)
37  "Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that You, O LORD, are God, and that You have turned their heart back again."

  2. Brother, the Holy Spirit's reminding me of your dream of driving the truck up a steep muddy hill; where, at the top, you drove a smooth easy road, no mud on the truck and clean, dress clothes. He's speaking today of that smooth, clear path many of us are about to step onto...

    1. Jake, I have not thought of that dream for some time. Thanks for the reminder. God is working. He is always working. Jn 5:17. May we join Him in His movement.
