Revival

[George]

We are experiencing something at our Church which I am really enjoying while at the same time learning a lot. We are working up to a week of Revival meetings in the 3rd week of this month. In the meantime we have an evangelist who is staying with us for 5 weeks. I have not ever heard of such a thing previously but it is truly a blessing.

One of the greatest blessings is that it provides the opportunity to go to Church almost every night of the week. On Tuesday evening we have Revival training. You may ask how that works? The evangelist is going over a lot of scripture that deals with Revival during those meetings. It is indeed enjoyable and edifying. We have a core group of about 20-25 people who regularly attend the meetings. Those of us who attend regularly are supposed to use the knowledge we gain to help others who may have questions or problems.

Then on Thursday night we have Prayer meeting. Last night was wonderful. The men in the group adjourned to our Pastor's office. We spent close to 45 minutes in the office speaking the burdens our our hearts to the Lord. The prayer was so intense it brought tears to a number of the men.

We also have a Prayer Partner mechanism in place. There are three men, including myself, in my group. I have been greatly blessed in having our Pastor as one of my prayer partners. After the meeting last night the three of us went into the auditorium for our own prayer meeting. The Pastor suggested we use our time together to pray for each other personally rather than the general prayer for revival we had already done.

We took on the spirit of transparency. We were completely honest and open with each other about the problems we face in our personal lives. This may sound silly to some but it was only last night that I discovered my Pastor is a human being. He is a man just like the rest of us. He has faults and problems just like the rest of us. Oh my heart is burdened for him.

Coming up starting the 10th of this month we are going to have a week of fasting and intense prayer. The last day is supposed to be a day of only water and juice. I feel rather guilty because due to my health I cannot do that. However I will do my best to stay with water, juices and fresh fruit.

Please pray for revival in our Church. Pastor says he feels the Church is ready to make a move. Pray that move takes place and that the Spirit of the Lord touch the hearts and minds of the Church people.

In Christ,
George
