Jesus Now! God Is Up To Something BigSample

Where Now?

Seen as a whole, Burns’ timeless principles offer more than just the “big picture” of spiritual awakening. As you look at each truth, the real discovery is to see the character of God. When knowing Him is your personal prayer, revival stops being theoretical and starts becoming deeply personal.

The call to revival means coming to God daily just as you are. Coming to Him with all your baggage, knowing that He already knows what you’re carrying inside. It means coming to Him as one who’s been “damaged in shipment.” It means coming as a broken vessel in need of repair, a vessel that needs to be reshaped because it’s the only way to be strong enough to resist the hard knocks that the days ahead are sure to bring.

The call to revival is the call to come home from your impossible schedule that has left you out of breath and out of touch with God. Come home from the trivial diversions that have robbed you of time with the Lord. Come home from loud radio commercials, loud television shows, and other mindless chatter that keeps you from hearing God’s still, small voice.

The call to awakening is a call to come to God as a child who has wandered from his or her loving parent. The call to spiritual awakening is to all believers who want to know they are forgiven, accepted, and loved again—as if for the first time.

Today a few people in our land have heard this call to a Jesus-Now Awakening. They are the ones who have been gripped by conviction, confession, and repentance. They are the men and women coming home to the Father they had once forgotten, ignored, or for whom they’ve simply been too busy. They are like a remnant in a dry season crying, “Oh God, move. Move in my nation. Move in me!”

Is this your voice? Is this your prayer? Do you want to know what it feels like to be alive again? Would you like to come home? Are you already standing on the doorstep to your part in this Jesus-Now Awakening?
