Beauty From Ashes

[Truman]

We need to be on our faces before God, interceding, standing in the gap, "Lord, I have heard of Your fame, and I stand in awe of Your deeds...renew them, Oh God! In our day, and in our time, make them know...in wrath, remember mercy!"
This shaking is to wake us up! And it will continue until we are awake. My heart has been the threshing floor for 21 years.
I had to get ground to powder. "A wise man learns from another's mistakes." One way or another, He will get the job done.
Yes, He will move, but first He has to prepare us.

Good point..
---
A few people...waiting on God, seeking/praying for the 'Move of God' ..for years.
- In unlikely/humble places.
- Broken, hungry for God..
They had an important role in the 'Move of God/Awakening/Revivals'..
I found/read 'those stories'..while I was doing research for book project.
---
I am working on book project.
- One part of the book is on..
- 'Spritual Awakening /Revivals & Renewal' in Christian History.

We have to cry out to Him...what other choice do we have?

Not many people are interested...
- Even though.. they know about it (what it means).
----
'Move of God' starts with a few..
-Those who are willing to come out of...comfort zone.
----
Often.. fresh Move of God were criticized & despised in Christian History.
- Because it breaks.. the existing pattern/establishment.
That is why..only a few are interested.
- Especially, during the early days..
The Question is..
How much/far..are you willing?
---
Interesting to note:
The 'Move of God'/Spiritual Awakening becomes..another establishment.
- After the first generation.
- The focus changes..
- From: original vision, commitment, etc.
- To: status, recognition & assets..
Examples:
Methodist Revival/Movement, Pentecostal Movement, etc..
---
My perspective/view is based on..
- Experience, observation & research..during the 'Move of God/Revival, Renewal'..
- From 1970's
- In United States.
---
Every generation needs..fresh 'Move of God/Spiritual Awakening' (my perspective).
---
I made similar comments/postings..some time ago.
- On 'Revival' focused..thread.

Blessings,

My eggs are all in the basket of heaven... there is nothing that I desire of this place called earth... my thoughts are on CHRIST... my hope is in heaven... and I am ready.

@Addy This is really quotable... Good phrase there!
