Revival Time

 

    It is time for the church and the nation to have a revival.  That means it is time that we make God the number one priority again.  This will mean change to be make ourselves more like Jesus and hold each other accountable.  It all starts with our prayer lives.

    Revival needs prayer for supplication and intercession.  We need to pray over our own hearts, so that we will care about the people who do not care about us.  This is hard, but as a church if we want to make an impact in the world, we have to get there.

    The church is more than a building.  It is the group of Christians that come together inside the walls of a location.  The church has to get to where they are ready to change and get excited about changing lives.  Church is more than meeting on a Sunday.  It is living life together and helping each other be strong, supported, and loved.

    It is time for revival where we need to look back where we have gone wrong to see how we can do better going forward.  We have to want to see the world change for Jesus.  It is time that we separate ourselves from the world, so that they can see that we are different.  We have to stop ignoring the truth.  Judgment Day is coming and if we leave without trying to tell them the truth, then we leave the world in doom.

    It is time for salvation.  The only way to salvation is through the blood of Jesus.  You have to believe in your heart that God loves you enough to sacrifice His son for you.  You have to believe in Jesus' life, death, resurrection, ascension, and that he still lives in Heaven.  You have to believe that once you are a part of God's family that it is sealed with the Holy Spirit living in your heart.  No one can take your salvation.

    Next step is to ask yourself some questions and work them out with God.  Salvation is only the beginning.  Once you are saved, everything changes.  It takes intentionality to not slowly push God to the side.  What are you going to do to keep God a priority?  How are you going to remember all He has done for you?  What do I need to change to be right with God?  God is the same as when He created this world, you, and everything else.  He will never change.  We are the ones that change.
