When prayers are answered

If revival is being withheld from us it is because some idol remains still enthroned; because we still insist in placing our reliance in human schemes; because we still refuse to face the unchangeable truth that, 'It is not by might, but by My Spirit.'

- Jonathan Goforth

There is nothing like it when you're back is against the wall, there is no other hope, and you cry out to God, and He answers.  I had come to realize that these things no longer happened quite as often, not as dramatically, as they did when I was much younger. I believe I have become reliant upon my own human schemes because I had gotten good at them. I had become accustomed to getting along without crying out to God. Yes, part of that is that I am better at planning, and I am in less trouble than I used to be. But that also indicates that I do not use my access on behalf of others as I should.

I long to see amazing things happen once again. And I want to be motivated by the welfare of others instead of my own. In turn, and indirectly, I know this will come back to me in amazing ways.

There is no church sponsoring today. Please start praying the list of ORT prayer initiatives today, and get your church on board tomorrow.
