What a glorious day in church,The worship team did a fantastic job ushering in the Holy Spirit and a great message delivered by the Pastor,what else could a person ask for,,,,,Hmmmmmm,,,what else i ask? Revival was the topic today,the first message in a series of messages that the Pastor has prepared.and as i sat and intently listened to the sermon the Holy Spirit started a work in my heart.This work that began today was not a new one.it was one that had began years ago.This work started sometime around 1982,yes you read it right.This was and is a work that the Holy spirit started in my heart the day i accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.When i accepted Him that August day on Plattsburg Air Force Base,he started a revival in my heart,and it was a very special and personal one.But over the years that revival began to lesson so to say.It seemed to go from what was a burning desire to to everything that i could possibly do for Jesus anytime to,,,,well lets just say the fire started to dwindle to a flicker and it seemed as though i didn't even notice.Do you see where I'm going with this my Friends?You see I believe REVIVAL starts in the heart,and like any type of fire if the fuel source gets low,so does the intensity of the FLAME!I believe we need to constantly fan the fire,we need to continually draw from the source,and that source is Jesus Christ.The word revive means to live again,to receive again a life that is almost gone and to rekindle that flame that is all but extinguished.I shall close with this scripture,,
Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains might quake at your presence—
2 as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil
to make your name known to your adversaries,and that the nations might tremble at your presence!
3 When you did awesome things that we did not look for,
you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear,no eye has seen a God besides you,who acts for those who wait for him.Blessing my Friends.
