Revival. Chapter Three.

The following is the third part in a series about Revival. I would encourage you to read the first two chapters. Without those two posts, this third will make no sense. Thanks for reading.

ACTIVITY
And in this is found the Activity. The activity of walking from darkness into His marvelous light. The activity of pursuing Him morning, noon, and night. The activity of desire. Of pursuit. Of obsession. Of addiction.





We are the Object. He is the Standard. He has Awakened us out of our Dormancy. We must find our Activity in Him. When we cannot find Him, our Activity must become a search. When we find Him, our Activity must become rest. He has still left us with two things: A Promise and a Purpose.

The Promise: He is coming quickly! We will see Him. We will know His voice and His walk. We will be with Him. What that will be like I cannot say. I cannot say how or when. But I do know that He is not a man that He should lie. He is coming for me, for us. To take us home one final time. He will not leave us. He will not forsake us.

The Purpose: Seek Him. With all our heart and desire. With all of our strength and energy. With all of our thoughts. And as we find Him, share Him. Give Him to the lost and hurting. Give him to the stagnant and dormant. I believe that sharing Him as we receive Him is like the Feeding of the Five Thousand. The more we break the Bread of Life for the purpose of bringing life to others, the more it is multiplied in our hands.

Revival begins in the hearts of people, and it ends in the Heart of Christ. In His image. In His Promise. In His Purpose.






*(Let me note here that I am not talking about the kind of Christians that only attend church on Easter and Christmas. They don’t count. Rather, I am talking about you and me. The ones that are there every week. Those that feel bad for not reading the Bible enough. We feel bad, just not bad enough to change. We serve. We raise our hands. We vote against abortion. We speak in tongues during corporate prayer meetings. We also know that we are pretty much more “spiritual” than anyone we know. In fact, we know that we can stand before God someday and show Him all the things we did for Him. The only problem is that in the deepest parts of who we are, we are unsure if we really know Him. Which causes us to read quickly over Matthew 7:21-23. Yes, we can teach about Him. But we might be more like the Pharisees than we are like Mary and Martha.)
