Season of Revival-Next Step
by Tom Donnan
Upon securing the room, a light came on and I could see all the content and details of the chapel. The man that was with me was gone, I was alone. I moved to the center of the room when emanating up from the floor came a roaring wind. From the entire area of the floor, the wind rushed upward. I could feel the Wind passing over my skin and hear the wind passing over my ears. As the volume of wind and speed of the wind increased, it tore the clothing from my body. First, my trousers came off. Grabbing them with both hands, I struggled to hold onto them. With my arms fully extended, they flapped in the wind. Next, my shirt was off and in the same manner, I tried to hold on to it. It was gone too. It was then I watched myself being lifted up and out of Earth's atmosphere into the heavenlies and beyond.
God's Children in the Church
Jesus said that rivers of living water would flow from those that believe (Jn 37-39). In the parable of the ten virgins, five of them had extra oil. This represents abundant relationship with the Holy Spirit (Matt 25). Today in the Body of Christ, where are we at? Several images I have had help me to gauge, first was a little fish in a shallow pool of water barely keeping alive, on the way to spiritual death. I moved the fish into a deep pool of water, living water is essential for Christian living. Why had this Child of God have so little living water in their life?
Next, I walked through a church building with different level of Christian maturity. From new babes to seasoned Christians I watched as they were all going about living their lives in rebellion. Their focus was on Eating, Drinking and having fun. The importance of learning and growing in our faith was missing. They were indifferent to the Kingdom of God
New Clothing
In Zechariah 3, we read about clean garments for the high priest (zech 3). In Zech 3:3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. 4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes."
Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you."
Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you."
That's us today, we need not to focus on the world around us and on day to day living, no, we need to humble ourselves before the Lord, to ask that He take our old spiritually dirty cloths and give us new stain free clothing. That is the message today! Personal Revival! To come before Father God and ask that our lives line up with the Scriptures, His laws and decrees, His standards to live by and not our own ways and leadings. To be selfless before our Loving Father and surrender our lives to Him and ask that He search our hearts for anything we need to leave behind and move forward in obedience to Jesus… He longs to be with us, we need to move towards Him with our whole hearts.
The Renewing of our Minds
It is in reading and studying the word of God that our minds are renewed. In our cultures, there are people who do not know the Ten Commandments. We have come so far from the Lord we need to come before him and learn of His ways.
If you are looking to pray for personal revival, please pray from your heart, or may I pray with you? http://www.tomdonnan.com/tomd16.html
