In the midst of the Horizon

Hey, how is everyone!? Hope your all well! If you guys get the chance, please check out and like the Facebook page for this blog, Finding that Foundation. Loving the views the blogs getting, not so much loving the amount of feedback, so if you do get the chance PLEASE take some time to post it! Its always SO appreciated! As always, be sure to check out the Bible Verse and link at the bottom of the page, both of which are relevant to the Blog entry! This one's a little left of field, but i figure rather than dance around the topic, I’ll just type it, I have hinted towards the idea of Revival in previous blogs (for more information on Revival, click here). I'm just gonna drop my 2 cents in on the whole topic of Revival in this blog. Of course, this is no where near long enough to get the whole point across, but if you're interested in hearing more or sharing you views, contact me via the Facebook page, happy to chat! This Blogs a little more out there than normal, and probably a little uncomfortable. But, I really feel it needs to be said. In all seriousness though, look up the Bible Verse at the bottom of this Blog. It's perfect for this.I didn't stick any verses in the actual Blog, cause that Chapter covers it all, and of course, the song I post a link to! And check out the features on the page, if you would be so kind! Anyway, Dig in.

I take it you have heard the term "Revival" tossed around in the Church lately, especially you fellow New Hopers. Accompanied by the phrase "Revival is coming". Now, bear with me, but, in all honesty, that phrase is so wrong. Revival is here, it's not still coming. It's like when a tree gets planted, but starts as a seed. Many people are too happy to sit back and jump around, pumped that a Tree is coming. There are two things wrong with this picture. Firstly, far too often, people get so excited, they forget to water it. Secondly, is that the Tree isn't actually coming. It's already there, our job is to grow it. We are in the midst of a huge Revival in Australia. I don't know how long you've been aware of it, I'd like to think for quite a while now! The problem the church seems to have though, is they are all too happy to sit back and just Pray for revival, and far too rarely meet God half way with the response that is required. Praying for Revival is like asking for the Seed God has already planted. God won't respond to that kind of foolishness. Our job, isn't to ask God for a seed he has chosen to plant. Our job isn't even to know the seed is there, it's to cultivate the ground, water the seed. shine the light, and expect it to grow. We do the little we are capable of, and God, provides for what we can not. The seed, and the growth. I am SO passionate about this. STOP STARING AT THE GROUND! God never sent us out without a promise. Never, ever does he ask you to just pray for sick people. He tell you to HEAL them! He doesn't ask you to pray Demons leave a person, he COMMANDS YOU TO SEND THEM RUNNING!!! He has sent Revival, in each of our hearts. Revival isn't some abstract concept, it's simply taking the veil off the Lantern, and letting God step in.

Ok, Josh, sheesh I get it... But I don't know if I can step out. I'm scared, and even if I did, how could I do it?
Firstly, you can step out. Stepping out is a step of Faith. You're not always required to know where you're stepping, but when you know God is calling you, you take the step and meet him half way with the Response. He'll do the rest. Pray for the courage to step out and God will provide for you. How, on the other hand, is even easier. Just listen in to what God speaks to you. Sometimes, it's easy. Sometimes, it gets a little lost in translation and you get it wrong. Don't worry though, everyone gets it wrong, you just need to learn from that and keep walking in God. If what you feel you're being called into is a big thing, have a few other people pray about it with you. How does this relate to Finding that Foundation? In the end, you're foundation is Jesus. And Jesus, is Love. And Love, will revive this fading World. That, is my challenge for you. This Week. Stop praying for revival, and start praying for the strength to usher in the Revival. Open the floodgates, in response, meet God half way, and watch as the Holy Spirit does what you can not. Breathes Life into a thirsty earth. Stop looking for the coming Revival as if it's just over the Horizon, and start to see that the answer is in your heart. We are in the midst of what we have convinced ourselves is just over the Horizon. And if we squander our time, praying for something that has been granted, we'll miss the opportunity. I mean this in no way to discourage what’s happening, it's awesome, all I’m saying, is its time to take the Next Step, and start living in the Revival, as oppose to waiting for it to happen. Hope this spoke to you. Well, in truth, I know it did, I just hope you find it in yourself to respond. Be Blessed.
