I went to the International House of Prayer "One Thing" conference in Minneapolis. It was amazing; you could really feel the power of the Lord moving there. It made me think, why is it so much easier for us to feel his presence there? Is it just because if we were to raise our arms in praise in other places we would stick out like sore thumbs? Is it because we are afraid of ridicule? It frustrates me to say these things, because it is true of me also. I hold back my beliefs and I do not use the dominion the Almighty has given me over the world. I am sick of daydreaming about revivals happening elsewhere. We need to WAKE UP! We need to stop compromising our faith. We need to believe that even in the face of mockery and injustice, God is moving the same if not more so then when His children are silent, "at peace" is what some people would call it. It is NOT peace. People are dying, having never known the healing power of Jesus, having never experienced his deep love, they will NEVER receive salvation, they have hardened their hearts, and they will be condemned to hell. All because we wanted to keep the peace! Their blood is on our hands. Every time I feel the Lord stirring me to speak to someone and I do not, their blood in on my hands. It isn't okay. I will not accept peace; I will not keep my mouth shut any longer. There is only one way to eternal life and that is the grace of God through Jesus Christ. We cannot waste any more time there are people dying without Jesus! People have a deep hunger in their souls; we are always searching for more. Everything feeds into that. America is based on the hunger for more, the hunger for better. The advertising industry knows this. The food industry knows this. The sex industry uses this. The list goes on. The world is being raised up and taught to feed their God given spiritual hunger with idols, with intellectualism, with "success", with materialism, with sexual perversion. All we need is Jesus! It rouses me so much to write like this. I hate to be repetitive of what all the revival leaders say, but they are so right. WE NEED TO WAKE UP! God is moving NOW! It's not some fuzzy little feeling we get when we go to a seminar. He lives in us. Oh if we would just listen if we would just have faith, to let God work in us what could we do? His love for us is amazing. He is just waiting for us to turn our eyes on him and yet he gives us the choice. God is so powerful, he could rewire our minds, and he could force us to believe. It would be much easier in my opinion that way, but he doesn't. He is raising up a people who desire him with all their, heart, mind, soul, and strength and it is them who's hunger he will fill. Praise him. He is so holy.
