Have
you ever wondered why there are so many professing Christians in
America, yet so few cities that have been truly transformed for Christ?
Why, in prayer meetings and conferences, we passionately cry out for
nations to be saved in a day; yet our local spheres of influence remain
largely unchanged year after year?
The
answer can be found by examining the historical seeds of past
revivals. For example, legend has it that Jonathan Edwards, before the
birthing of the Great Awakening, made a covenant with God. Standing on a
riverbank, he cried out to God for revival in the land. Drawing a
circle in the sand, he pledged that before God could take the city, the
region, the nation, He must start here—and he pointed to the circle.
Then Edwards stepped into the circle.
For
a community, a city or a nation to be gripped with revival, a man or
woman must first be fully gripped by God. Personal visitation is always
the catalyst for revival. Visitation always precedes transformation.
In order to shake the nations for God, we must first let God shake US!
BEFORE YOU CONQUER YOUR JERICHO, YOU MUST SEEK GOD FOR HIS WAR STRATEGY.
Joshua
never had to face the kind of fearsome threats that challenge believers
today. When he led Israel into the promised land, he didn’t have to
worry about the likes of Saddam Hussein, chemical weapons or suicide
bombers. On the home front, he didn’t have to concern himself with job
layoffs, rising gas prices, a shaky stock market or the loss of his
retirement portfolio.
But Joshua did have to face his own set of giants. Just across the
Jordan River were real threats that had many of his fellow Israelites
shaking in their boots.
How
did he approach these giants and ultimately defeat them? By pressing
into the Lord to gain a fresh strategy for each new battle.
Imagine that you are sitting in church one Sunday and
suddenly, the room is filled with the fragrance of Jesus. As you look
down the aisle, you notice some incredibly beautiful vessels of the
Lord entering the sanctuary.
These vessels are full of the Shekinah glory of the Lord,
and their transparent glaze wonderfully reflects the image of Jesus.
You immediately know that they have been in the high glory fires of the
Lord and that they have paid an incredible price for the powerful
anointing they carry.
