The subject I want to talk about this week is, Religious Revival. Not just in our nation but around the world.
Everywhere around the world there is some form of Christian revival. We're not just talking about christian but also the Catholics, Protestants, even pentecostal.In the name of jesus, there are Bible studies everywhere. We want to become a part of this great awaking. We should not sit and be silent. We should reach out to our brothers, our neighbors and not allow indifference to be a roadblock. Become a part of the change Christ will bring. The Bible told us that; when every rock is overturned and when the world has heard the good news of the bible(then god will return).
Likewise the revelations spoke of devastating catastrophic and apocalyptic events. These events have been taking place around the world since 2011 and continued through 2012. The unfortunate truth is that it has been even worse in 2013. We have seen our share of natural disasters the last couple year, unlike we've ever seen. Shall we ignore the truth? Therefore as you see what I am trying to present, is that we are not just looking at a revival; we are looking an apocalypes taking place in our times. These events we are experiencing were spoken about as the "End of time" theory that the Bible revealed as the "Revelations". The world was to meet its impending "End" but he also said he would not destroyed the whole earth and everyone on it. What god revealed was; "for the elects sake that time (of catastrophic destruction),would be cut short".
Therefore not everyone would be destroyed and therefore we are not talking about a complete end, we are actually talking about
a new beginning (or so it seems). We're talking about people awakening to the spirit of life and the Spirit of truth. And of course we can not forget the spirit of justice. Part of what we will go through in this earth shaking event is to bring forth justice. To shake all of the injustice up in the world and to loosen it; that we may have what the Bible promised.
And it is showing it's face everywhere in these modern times. The Catholics had a wonderful turnout at the youth revival in South America. Revivals have showed up all over the world and it is exciting. People are bringing their instruments, like guitars to sing worship songs, their friendships are renewing and their ideas becoming righteous. People are hungry for change. That hunger for love is obvious and they're trying to get it by means of the holy spirit. It's important that you find others who are seeking the spiritual side of life, as well. It is important to have a church but we can't always find a church; what you can find is righteous people. Join forces with them in open the Bible studies and be prepared to except Jesus as your personal Savior. Jesus did not die on the cross for nothing. He died on the cross for the sins of the world. He died on the cross to overcome sin and death; that we may know life. That we the sinners of the world may know god once again. To be forgiven and be with God once more.
The thing is that you need to accept Jesus as your personal Savior and you need to do it right by repenting your sins. Just cry out loud for God to forgive you. Once you have accepted Jesus as your personal Savior; just remember to stay on the path, do not go back to your old ways. Revival means "the awakening" and when we awaken we realize that we have lived a life of lies. We have lived a life in pain and and misery all because we did not happen to have the good Lords spirit with us. That is a hard thing to face when you become aware that you're alone because of your own sins. Left without God when in actuality you could have been forgiven but know one ever showed you the way. This is what many in the world are realizing and they want A new start, such as a revival.
Be with God and be aware, do not turn back. It's kind of like the story of "Sodom and Gomorrah"; when 'Lot's wife looks back at the city and she turns into a pillar of salt". That my friends, was a statement saying "do not look back" (do not even wonder why, or try to look back). Accept the past as the past and realize that whatever happened in the past doesn't matter now. Because you have been forgiven and you are now the "new man". Walk with the Holy Spirit, be righteous, tell the truth and give to others love. Even if they may hurt you in some way, forgive them. Likewise there may be people in your old life, you might want to stay separate from, for a while. This is difficult because we can't leave family and we may not be able to get them to understand. This is where faith can hold it all together. This is where faith and obedience is essential to the overall process. When I explained to my family that i was like a new man/woman, they didn't understand. But God will find you what need. Just stand firm and pray and God will bring you the people that you need to support you. Keep the Bible with you and study it at all times.
That's my word for the day.
