REVIVAL........? Part 2

Most everyone is searching for the seemingly elusive answers to this poigant topic. Countless hours have been spent arguing, debating and sharing ideas in hopes of finding the next piece of this spectacular puzzle. I know our first response is God, and yes, this is the correct answer. However,.........I know this may shock some of you, but , God and all of His wonder and might is not enough. Ok, now that I have your attention let us turn our thinking towards Abraham. Where are you going Abraham? I don't know, He said something about Cannan. Who is He? He said that He is God and that He is going to make a great nation out of me and that because of my going all the earth will be blessed. Did God need Abraham and the countless others in scripture that went? I think the answer is overwhelmingly, YES!
One last example and an EXPERIMENT.
I have read and re-read the book of Acts over and over again and I think there are four distinct keys and ANSWERS that are left for us here. The Acts of the Apostles chapter 2:42 states: " And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers." I detect 4 keys. 1.) Continued in the apostles doctrine ( the death, burial and the resurrection.)
2.) Fellowship ( friendship)
3.) Breaking of bread ( taking someone to eat or accepting an invitation to eat). Somebody say yes Lord!
4.) Prayer
I propose a biblical experiment: make a list of all the people in your sphere and systematically put these keys to work. If you notice on the top right hand side of this page there is a counter that is counting the days left until this particular experiment is over. We are agressively putting these four steps to work. Join us and let us see REVIVAL.

"REVIVAL"--------?

The term "revival" is a term that encapsulates all that we as Apostolics are striving to obtain. We are all guilty, I'm sure, of using this term loosely without really comprehending the brevity of it. After all, we are talking about the souls of men, women, boys and girls that are on a path leading them to an eternal destination. I am reminded on a daily basis how that we truly are in need of "revival". I look into the frightened eyes of the stranger that passes by and wonder if there is anything that I can say or do. I feel the rage and pain in the person standing next to me and again I wonder if there is anything that I can do. You drive by them as much as the next person and you see the hollow, far off stare and I'm sure you wonder if there is anything that you can do. What a question.............what can you do? I'm not sure that anyone has the answers to these gripping questions. Will a week of scheduled services change the look in their eyes and the destination of their tortured soul? Will your hour on Saturday turn the course of that wandering spirit? After all, that is "revival"...... right? If this is so, then I ask you this sobering question. Why is that man you see every day still standing on the side of the street with the same hollow stare he had last year? If this is true, why is your neighbor still guzzling his adult beverages with the same ferocity he always has? I know it makes us uncomfortable to think that just maybe someone might spend eternity without God because we only had 2 or 3 of our scheduled "revivals". God please help us with our lack of understanding.

Tune in tomorrow..................... I have some ideas.
