Can Ya Feel It?

I feel like I need to write this down.
God is on the move and I can feel it. There is a fire that is beginning to consume me. Oh what joy! God is setting the stage for revival. This generation is on the verge of something not seen in over a hundred years. Can you feel it?
I've been reading a book about revival, it's changing how I see things. I go to church in Muskegon last week and the pastor is speaking about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit filling us and bringing revival. I went to the worship gathering at the Bridge Street House of Prayer last night and not only did I listen to the speaker talk about revival, I saw revival.
Revival in ourselves starts with recognizing the sovereignty of Jesus Christ. We must realize that Jesus is on the throne. He is King! We must worship the creator simply because he is almighty. I'm not talking about sitting in your recliner and saying "yup, God's still King." I'm talking about falling prostrate on the ground in worship of the King.
Revival in our community starts with prayer. Let me restate that. Corporate revival starts on the floor. We have to want it. It will mean sacrifice. Discomfort. It will mean that life will not be what it was before. Church will not be what it was before. Change.
Do you want it? Can you feel God moving? Do you see a generation rising up? I do, and I'm not going to miss it.
God, use me as an instrument of your will.

When I began writing this post, I was just going to talk about the House of Prayer. Apparently God had other plans for my train of thought.

I am totally there with you. God is doing extraordinary things in not only my lives but in the lives around me. I see his hand at work. I used to feel that i felt the most connected to God at camp without any distractions but to be honest living here and forcing myself to ignore distractions have only fueled our relationship's closeness. He has been so good and I cannot help but burst with joy for all that he has done in my life. He is the reason i wake up every morning and the reason that i work everyday to ensure his generations know that they are loved.

thanks for sharing this!

Amen! I have been speaking on the Holy Spirit the last 3 Sundays and I concur with you. May the Holy Spirit fill us and use us.
