Final Preparations

 At the time of this writing, we are only six days from the first service of Camp Meeting. Prayers have been offered. Even as I write, someone is in the sanctuary reading through the Bible out loud. This will continue through Sunday morning. We will start the service with the reading of the last chapter of Revelation 22 with a secret selected servant of the Lord. We started reading Saturday morning in Genesis and volunteers are reading through God's word in time slots at designated times between now and Sunday morning. 

Sunday night, a good group finished our study through Fresh Encounter, a six-week study on revival. A good group started and stayed with us through the end. The hunger is building. The excitement and anticipation is growing. 

People have been challenged to personally prepare themselves by repenting of sin and drawing nearer to God. A remnant has done that. I wish that were true of the whole congregation. 

Wednesday night we will train counselors for evangelism and have a Solemn Assembly in some final preparations. 

The Holy Spirit is brooding over Spring Creek. His presence is real. I have sensed Him greatly the past couple of Sundays. Now we are on the last few days of preparation journey. It has been a long journey filled with victories, some set backs, and a WHOLE LOT OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE. 

The last blog I wrote was titled, We Are Not Ready. A person recently brought that to my attention and asked me if I thought we were ready now. Are ready to meet with God in profound ways. We are more ready. Only God knows what these Camp Meeting days hold. If He moves powerfully, I can predict what will happen. God's people will be moved to repentance. We will all be more emboldened to share gospel witness. People will get saved. Genuine worship will happen. I think a good number yearn for those kind of God encounters. God told us He would be found if we seek Him with all of our heart. [Jer 29:13]

I just finished my scheduled reading for this Tuesday morning. God's word is proclaimed. His promises linger in the air permeating the atmosphere. We are busy getting ready. Only six short days to seek God, to plead with Him, and to align ourselves with Him. God is getting us ready. Only He knows what lies ahead. Whatever it is, I pray we are all hungry to receive it. To receive Him.
