Revival

Everyone wants revival. Everyone's praying for revival. Everyone says that revival is part of end-times prophecy fulfillment.

But I have a question - what are we doing to bring revival? God has already poured out His Spirit (see Joel 2:28). Peter told us this was fulfilled on Pentecost (see Acts 2). God has already moved, we don't need to pray that He will!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against prayer. Build yourself up with prayer (Jude 1:20) and then go out and DO your job. What is God asking of you? What is your job in the Body of Christ? Why did God save you?

I'm not saying you have to go to Africa. I'm not saying you have to get up in front of people and preach.

What are your gifts and talents? What is your love? How can you use that to bless others? How can you use that for God's glory?

Let's think outside the box of the five-fold ministry parameters. Let's take a step.

What is Step 1?

If you are saved, then you need to equip yourself. Start a study of God's Word so that you can begin to renew your mind, begin to see what God's plan is, begin to see what God is calling you to do. Don't hesitate, start today!
