What better time for a revival than when the team is preparing for this summer's trip to El Tamarindo? Actually any time is a good time when we are open to God and what He wants to do in our lives. How does this happen? What brings revival? Re---means "again" and "vive" comes from the root word for "life". So revival brings life again to something or someone. As Christians we can get rather routine in our walk unless we are daily connected to our power source---that being Christ himself. And the way to connect is through prayer. All the great revivals that have swept this country and other parts of the world at various times have come mostly through prayer---earnest prayer that seeks the heart of God. Are we seeking Him and making ourselves available to Him so that we can mold us to His likeness?
Holy Spirit, breathe on me. Break me, melt me, mold me and fill me. When we allow Him to do that He will use us for mighty purposes.
Thank you for the words of encouragement. They are appreciated more than I can say. :)
ReplyDeleteThe evening worship services with Pastor Brooks have been enlightening and moving. I continue to be humbled by God's mercy, compassion and grace.
As I seek His face and will, I continue to pray for insight into the role (if any) God wants me to take in El Tamarindo, and guidance in my preparations.
Seeking God's face inevitably will lead us to a clearer sense of God's will. A healthy and growing intimacy is a wonderful thing to have, to behold, to share. It is life as God designed it.
