[This reflection by Dennis Ginter was published in the weekly news bulletin of Horley Baptist Church, 10/Sep/2023]
In last Sunday’s YOURS, Chris ended her article, Revival Power, by asking, “What about you and me?” Just before that, she wrote, “Our Father God wants to create a people who desire the presence of Jesus, leading to a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit.”
Two Sundays ago we sang “Show Your Power”. Did we mean that – from the heart? When Jesus comes in power, it can only be through his Holy Spirit. And his presence is unmistakable! He takes over. He can’t be controlled! Do we want him to come in that kind of power?
A few of us in our fellowship have been praying for Revival – a move of God that will transform us and our community. Maybe there are more than a few of us? Our upstairs Prayer Room is now in use every Wednesday morning from 10:00 to 12:00. We’d love to have you join us, especially if you too are crying out, “Revive Us!”
Jesus asked, “When I return, will I find faith on the earth (Luke 18:8)?” He was talking about PERSISTENT faithfulness, the kind demonstrated in the parable he just told about the demanding widow who just wouldn’t give up!
If you find yourself becoming desperate for MORE, come out of the woodwork. Let’s become a PEOPLE of persistent faith. “There must be more than this; Spirit of God, we wait for You. Fill us anew we pray.”
God Bless
Dennis
