While I was away on my annual prayer and writing retreat, I wrote another book that has rattled in my spirit for several years. I've preached and testified on many occasions about the revival that happened in Seminole, TX back in 2010. I've wanted to write a book about that revival to preserve what God did in print. That is what God helped me to do last week.
The retreat was not living in luxury. No television. No radio. No internet. There was lots of praying, reading and writing. I can't believe how God brought the book together. It is divided into three sections. The first is about how God moved us to Seminole and where the vision for the revival began. That section leads up to the first revival meeting. The second section includes the nightly blogs I wrote after each service. They are my first hand accounts of what God did while it was fresh on my mind. The final section is the 40 Day devotional material I wrote for FBC Seminole in preparation for the revival.
My hope is that God will use this book to encourage people to believe God for revival and offer some hope. Maybe God will use that book as a catalyst for revival in multiple other places. The book is far from going to print. At this point all I have is a rough draft. The hard work of proofing is the next step. Next, we will shop it to publishers. There is a lot of work still to do before this book will ever get into the hands of readers.
Writing that book was a labor of love. It brought back so many fond memories of wonderful people and a profound move of God. I recalled incidents I had long ago forgotten. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane. You can help by praying for an open door with a publisher to get this book into print.
I am already praying about what book God wants me to write next. He has something in mind and I will wait until He reveals it to me and inspires it to be written. I pray for anointing to capture His heart onto the printed page communicating His truth.
