Day 2- Chasing Revival

Some believers may argue that we should not chase “revival” but should rather focus on the fundamentals of church building – making disciples and reaching our communities. But asking God for an outpouring of His Spirit is not an escape route from the fundamentals of Christianity; it is a necessity for building healthy churches!

We are to follow the Biblical mandates as outlined in the New Testament while at the same time not ignoring the mighty move of the Spirit that we are asking for and so desperately need. Doing the fundamental work as believers will only be empowered and furthered by an outpouring of His Spirit.

Revival does not negate the need for the local church and the process of making disciples; revival expedites the process and produces the initial desired results: lives radically transformed to follow Christ! If you are a believer who is building the church and yet desires more of God and His Spirit, this is a cry that reaches God’s heart, so cry out with passion and ask God to move in power in our day.
