Revivals are happening now in many places in America. The news media and our “social media” are not reporting any of this but it’s happening. God is moving in our country and many young people are seeking Him as their Savior. The problem is we are paying more attention to the so-called “news” rather than taking our Christian faith, which started our country so many years ago, and bringing our family back to God. Our country can’t change until the faith of our families changes first. The change has to begin at home.
People are seeking Jesus in places like Iraq and Iran and they are finding Him. Personal revivals are happening and they’re growing in number. God is moving because there are people that He wants to call into His house before the Trumpet sounds! God told one of His prophets to “prophesy to these bones” and the whole valley of bones came back to life. It was a valley of dry bones yet God brought muscle, sinew, and skin back to them and their skeletons lived again.
Don’t believe that God cannot do miracles anymore because He can! You and I can be revived to become children adopted into God’s family. All that is necessary is for us to accept Jesus as our Savior and believe in Him for our salvation, just as the thief on the cross believed in Him and was saved that day!
Augustine once wrote, “Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find rest in Thee.”
This is a very true statement. God created the universe in six days and rested on the seventh, so is it hard to believe He could love you regardless of your sinful life? He loved us enough to send Jesus to pay the penalty for our sins so we could be given His mercy and grace through that sacrifice. He even inspired the writers of the Bible to create it in such a way that it cannot be explained except by divine inspiration.
Take a look at this illustration and you can see His influence in it.
There is no other way to see His work in the writer’s hands except in this way.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/jer.29.11-13.KJV
These verses from Jeremiah are the most affirming statements of God’s love for us in the Old Testament. Other than the Savior giving His life on the cross to save our souls from hell, I can’t think of a better expression of His love for humanity.
The difference between who is doing the holding is that God won’t ever let go.
