Is Our Revival Over?


Well, depends on what we do with what God said.  Which brings me to that question, what did He say to you and me?  But before we answer that, let’s do a quick review.
First off, the services were truly amazing!  God’s Spirit was manifest in our worshipful spirit, in our smiling faces, and most of all in our heart for Christ this week.  What a joyous fellowship we enjoyed from Sunday morning until Wednesday night.  I hope you were blessed as I was in everything that occurred.  We didn’t have any record of anyone being saved or joining the church, but I’m sure there will be fruit born in the coming weeks.  God was surely working in our lives.
Having Dripping Spring Church’s Choir on Monday and then New Friendship’s Choir and Praise Team really encouraged not only our hearts, but theirs as well.  The lower level was full on Tuesday night and Monday’s attendance was almost as great.  Each church brought several of their members and then Tuesday night Eastwood (Bro. Tom’s church) brought a couple of buses of Eastwood members to encourage Bro. Tom.  He was pleasantly surprised and caught off guard as he didn’t know they were coming.  Wednesday’s attendance was outstanding and our Children and our Choir blessed us in worship!
Brother Tom’s messages really confronted us with the question, “What is the Vision that God has given Second Baptist?”  He challenged us to go, grow, to follow, to be fishers of men, and to use our Sunday School to reach our community for Christ.  Many folks spent time in prayer at the altar seeking to follow His will for their lives.  I know God confronted me about being totally sold out to Him and doing whatever it takes to lead our church to win our Jerusalem and to honor Him.
I guess the overall thought from our Revival was, “What is our Vision?”  What does He wants us to do?  How and what do we need to change to reach more people for His Kingdom?  Which leads me back to my original question, “What did He say to you and me?”  I can’t answer that personally for you, but for me it is this, “Am I ready to continue to teach, train, challenge, and personally as a Christian do to reach that vision?”  I feel I’m willing.  I just need to allow Him to give me the strength and wisdom to do what He’s called me to do.
So, what’s He called you to do?  Are you willing?  He is.  Let’s go get them.  They’re out there.  They need to know Jesus.  Will you go with me?
