revival is now

"Therefore He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine (make day dawn) upon you and give you light. Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil." Eph. 5:14-16

          So many of us have been crying out for revival but have failed to recognize it must first start with US. In our hearts. In our homes. In our families. Judgement begins in the house of the Lord according to 1Pet. 4:17. So it MUST start with us. We must be willing to be unveiled and vulnerable in the presence of God Almighty. To give Him unlimited access to our innermost parts, our secret thoughts and the deepest chambers of our being.

"Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah." Psalm 24:7-10

          Is that your hearts cry? That the Lord, the King of Glory, would come in, in all His majesty, and do whatever is needed so you can be used by Him? Will you allow your thoughts to become like His? Will you lay your life down so you can actually find it? 

          True fulfillment in this life isn't found in houses and cars, jobs and titles. True and everlasting fulfillment comes when we lay down our agenda and embrace the plans the Lord has for our lives. It's in full surrender that we truly find ourselves. Our true identity. When we pour ourselves out and get refilled with Him we discover true life, life abundant. That's where true revival starts.

          On our face, yielded to The One who formed us with His hands. The One who breathed in us the breath of life. His very breath. Recklessly abandoned, disregarding the opinions of man. Living before an audience of ONE. This is the foundation for revival. This is how we'll see our lives, our families and our nation changed for the glory of God. This is the laid down posture of the burning ones. Those whose hearts yearn to see the desire of God fulfilled. To see the vastness of humanity cry out to the Lover of their souls. 

          Revival is NOW. We don't have time to waste. We must press in. We must get on our faces before God Almighty and allow Him to do the work in us so He can fulfill HIs plans and purposes through us. 

          Yes!! He wants to use YOU! 5 fold call or not. We are ALL called to be ministers of reconciliation according to 2 Corinthians 5:11-21. And in these last days it's All hands on deck. No unused parts. No meaningless positions. You have a place in the family of God and we need you. Revival truly is NOW. 

          So please....Make sure your lantern is full of oil and you don't get left behind. Do whatever it takes to have clean hands and a pure heart before our Holy God, who is more than worthy of our lives laid down.

You, my friend, were created for such a time as this!!
