I wanted to talk about something funny
and lighthearted but a message i received has pushed me to put up this
post. It raised a lot of questions in my mind and i want you guys to
experience the same thing so here it is *pasting* (its quoted) with my opinion (as usual)
"Some say the
answer to all our problems in the church is revival, as though that is the
panacea for all our spiritual ills and shortcomings. Most people's idea of
revival, however runs the gamut of a week of meetings to a high-energy display
of emotionalism. What is real revival? Its the kind that has changed the course
of human history. Throughout church history, every revival resulted in a sudden intensification of the presence of God, resulting in
spontaneous worship. Anything less is superficial and even detrimental to true
spiritual health. When there is a move of the Holy Spirit it is always a call
for God's people to be worshipers of the most High God above all else. It is
nothing planned or perpetuated by some 'worship leader'. Whatever else
revival does it must restore the purpose and meaning of being a worshiper. - A.
W. Tozer."
Revival
is more than just a feeling of being "high" in the spirit. It is a
lasting change that that endures. Maybe we haven't seen a true
revival in our churches because we do not know what it is we are asking for and
as such look in the wrong places for our answers. Instead of seeking the tears
of people confessing sins and lying on the ground bawling (I'm not saying this
is a bad thing) we must look to those who worship God from the deep recesses of
their hearts, those who have understood that they owe God all, that He is El
Elyon(God most high), they that leave and still carry the presence of God with
them, Shekinah Glory.
