Jesus work was done. He had given His
life, descended to the depths of hell, stolen the keys of death, hell
and the grave and set the captives free. He had ascended to the
Father and offered His blood, the atoning sacrifice for our sin, and
set mankind free to enjoy union with God and everlasting salvation.
For most of us, that is where we think
the work ended, but in truth it was only the beginning. The
beginning of what? The beginning of the era of the church, the bride
of Christ. While on earth Jesus alone could perform miracles and
display the majesty of God to a dying world, but with His departure
He ushered in the dominion of the Holy Spirit.
Through the Holy Spirit the church of
Christ has grown today to a global body of believers and yet today,
more than any time in history, we see the persecution of believers
continuing at a staggering rate. Now more than ever God is waiting
on His bride to put on the garment of righteousness, to walk in faith
and declare His kingdom to all mankind. Yet with all this, something
is missing.
I can hear you say, “how can you say
that?” but it is true. With our fast paced world and the growing
ruts we find our lives in there is something we are sorely
lacking.........Revival! The church of old is gone and God is
calling us to cry our for rain on our parched earth but not the rain
of water, the rain of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
How do we usher in
revival?.........................We Pray!
