The Revival is in You

We had a great College Bible Study this past week. To make a long story short the power of God was in manifestation in a way that has been all too rare in recent days. Several expressions came out of this meeting that bear repeating:

• The revival is in you.

• What are we waiting on?

• Enough is enough. Why sit we here?

• There is nothing little about the Holy Ghost. He is more than the voice in my heart.

• We don’t have to ask permission to have revival.

There is a tendency in people to forget the last thing God has given rather than keeping it as part of the structure. Rather than discard what God has done we should practice it. I know that there are seasonal things but there are also fundamental things that God gives. For example there is nothing seasonal about joy.

Heb 12:2 NASB fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Gal 5:22-23 NASB But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (23) gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

The things God reveals to us are to be built upon, line upon line, precept upon precept. He seldom gives us everything at one time. He releases things as we can assimilate them into our daily walk. When you build a house you can’t go back and discard the foundation after the roof is on. The house is meant to stand on its foundation. It is the foundation that gives the house its permanence. Each wave of revival in the past has brought with it fresh revelation and reminded us of things once held dear to the body of Christ. Let’s keep the fire burning in our hearts. Revival is not only for church services it is meant to affect every part of our lives, especially the parts lived outside of the four walls of the church building.
