"Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy
face to shine; and we shall be saved."
(Psalm 80:19)
"Turn us" is the cry of Revival! Turn the hearts of Your people, Your Church, back to You, Oh Lord. "Unite us in Your love, in Your fire, in Your power, in Your purpose ... and forgive us, Lord, for not being more devoted to You, more drawn to Your Will for planet earth, regarding the 'Acts' of Your Church." We need to be in one mind and one accord, moving in one step, to empower the body of Christ in the earth today. Nothing is impossible to those who are ONE in Jesus Christ! If the Church could march as ONE, we could reach the entire world with the gospel of Jesus Christ; we would be moving as an unstoppable force in the earth, and it's time for just such a move. God is waiting on us! We are His hands and His feet; we are His voice and His called and chosen to do His bidding in a lost and dying world.
after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
(Matthew 5:6)
It all comes down to "hunger." Is God's Church hungry enough? Do God's people have what it takes to pull down the power needed for this hour? Are we becoming people "after God's own heart?" It's called Hunger. Are we as hungry for righteousness, as we should be? That's what REVIVAL does ... it puts people on their faces; it calls out the Sin, so it can be offered in repentance; it moves in waves of sorrow, humility and contriteness; it points the created "dust" to its Creator; it opens the puss pockets of iniquity! REVIVAL! It's a down on your face, tears for a lost world, cry for UNITY, plea for healing of our land, reaching for the One who reaches for us ... kind of thing.
The Lover of our souls will gladly rain down His love, rain down His glory, rain down His forgiveness ... if we just ask Him. And, it's a glorious rain! He fills, thrills, and seals us with the Holy Ghost and fire. Once in a powerful service in Church, I felt literal rain on my face; I had my eyes closed as I was worshiping in the Spirit, so I opened them to look at the ceiling, because I thought we had a roof leak! I reached up to touch my face and wipe away the water, but it was dry! It felt like RAIN, and it was RAIN, the RAIN of the Holy Ghost, the RAIN of wonder, the RAIN of power from portals of Glory! It's REAL ... and YOU can have it! It's the Spirit of Almighty God dwelling in a human being; it's unspeakable and full of glory; it's the joy that comes in the morning; it's the refreshing for a lost and weary soul; it's nothing like you've ever known or even experienced in your life! Once you receive the Holy Ghost, you can experience it over and over, day after day, and it's the reason you can smile in the storm, be calm in the midst of terror, have peace with War all around, love when there's no reason to love ... It is JESUS CHRIST in YOU!
It's the hottest thing going right now. What? The Holy Ghost and fire! Over 580 million people worldwide have received the Holy Ghost and spoken in tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. What about the Church? That's where REVIVAL comes in; we know the Lord Jesus Christ, or we think we do, but we're stuck in this Age called Laodicea. It's the luke warm Church Age. But, God said that we should be hot or cold; if we're luke warm, He will spew us out of His mouth. It's time for God's mighty Church to be on fire, AWAKE, REVIVED, RENEWED, and marching like a well trained army. Everything starts with His Church and it moves outward; judgment starts at the house of God and moves outward; Spirit starts in the Church and moves outward ... It's time for the fires of REVIVAL!
It's time to reach for God like we never have before; throw caution aside and become "hungry;" set aside the inhibitions and worship like nobody's looking; dance in the Spirit like we're the only ones in the room; shout for joy like there's never going to be a tomorrow; reach for Him like a panting deer; run to Him like it's the last lap before the ticker tape ... and It is! REVIVAL knows no holding back; it runs wide open, full throttle, get in or get out, shout it or shut up ... it's a fiery madhouse of wild worship for the One who was ripped to the bone, bled and died like a criminal, was nailed like flesh was a construction plank ... and He did it for You and me, for a lost world, for creation formed from His own hand ... REVIVAL!
