Get Ready

There have been many sleepless nights. Tears have fallen like rain drops from heaven. God's word has been read, studied, and applied. Many have fasted. The doors of heaven have been knocked on incessantly. Sins have been revealed and repented from doing further.  Prayer has bombarded the kingdom of darkness like bombs in an air raid. People have united for 57 straight days and counting with one passion. To ask God to revive His church at Spring Creek and other churches.

At the time of this writing, we are only 13 days away from the first meeting. In one last moment of preparation we will gather the night before for a revival rally. A time of cleansing and prayer for God to move powerfully. That will take place on June 20th at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary at Spring Creek. Then, on Father's Day we begin.

Why Father's Day? That is what God laid on my heart back in the fall of 2019.

Many people pursue revival. They thrill to hear the stories. The wonders of God moving like He has done in revivals past. They want to see such things with their own eyes. They want to experience such a move in their day.

That is not on my mind as I prepare. My focus has been and continues to be on pursuing God. I want more of Him in my own life. I want more of Him for the people of Spring Creek. I want more of Him for sister churches. I want more of Him for this town and county. I want more of Him for this nation and world.

May we not get misguided. We should not be in pursuit of revival. We should be in pursuit of God. To hunger and thirst for Him more than we ever have before. To yearn to discover more of Him. To get to know Him in fresh ways. To be engulfed in Him. To see more His glory like Moses prayed for and experienced from the cleft of the rock.

Revival is a sovereign choice from God. He sends it where He pleases on whom He pleases. Some have never seen or experienced a genuine revival. Others have reaped revival rewards. That should not be our aim. Our one aim must be the pursuit of God. To cling tenaciously to Him. To follow hard after Him. To sprint wholeheartedly toward Him.

His Spirit is blowing gently now. I sense it. Like the calm before a storm. In the spirit realm I sense He is preparing to reveal Himself among the hungry and thirsty in fresh ways. He is coming to clean up His church. He is coming to call us back to Himself. He wants a spotless bride for His Son Jesus. He is coming intent on having His will and His way in people's lives. I feel the wind of His Spirit blowing and moving swells in the ocean of His plan. The swells slowly build and will crescendo into wave after wave of His visitation. I hope you are getting ready.

Do you want that? Do you yearn for Him? Are you starving to feast on Him instead of the garnishes of this world that never satisfy? Is He the object of your most passionate pursuit? He is coming in power and He means business. By all means, we must prepare ourselves. We must put away sin and give Him our undivided attention. He is a great King. We will not offer Him polluted and defiled sacrifices in our praise and devotion. He deserves our very best.

Get ready. He broods overhead waiting to pour Himself out upon us. All appears calm now, soon He will come like a tempest. Soon we will experience the gale force winds of His Spirit poured out drawing us and others closer to Him. Get ready. Redeem the time. Get ready.
