thoughts revelance in america

The amazing thing about God is that he does not care what you have done. I wish that I could have that heart I want to see people the way that He see’s people. I am so tired of the usual thing I want to see God move through the America, a happening that has never happened before a real move of God where the people love and we don’t worry about what tomorrow brings. A group of people that are a new creation that people have never seen before, that work in the gifts of the spirit that God is so apparent in people’s lives people see something different about them. A group of people that have the same desire, to grow the kingdom of God and let God do the work. Make God the center of their lives in a total pursuit of holiness. Where miracles happen but people are not freaked out about it a place where people go and are loved no matter where they come from, and when they see things happen they will come to faith in Christ.
The most affective church will be the one that loves God and wants to see him and does something about it. People want to see God move but don’t do anything about it. How are we going to see God move if we just sit around and just pray five minutes a day and then call it good. If we think God is moving now, think about what he would do if we prayed and fasted! We say we are seeing God move but the churches are not growing and America is not changing for the better. If God was moving we would see America changing. People would not be they way they are, gay marriage would not even be an issue maybe a handshake would do for a deal and the divorce rate would go down?
I have always wondered why we call ourselves a Christian nation and nothing like this is happening. The problem in my opinion is the church of today it’s become a shallow place of hangout that just follows the pattern of the world. How is it that we follow the pattern of the world, shouldn’t we be leading the way? I mean he had the creator of the universe on our side. I find the problem is that we are to focused on getting people to come in and have a good experience at church, which is good but too much of a focus on it. I was having a conversation with a friend the other night and the question came to my mind. Why don’t we pray more? Why not have a prayer meeting three days a week just for God to happen. wouldn’t that be better than just sitting around thinking about what to do next to take your church to the “next level” of relevance? To get ahead of the times Is that what its about? Staying ahead of the times?
I love God and relevance is a good thing to have but what if when we were having a prayer meeting he revealed what to do next, How to get ahead of the world. What if he told you what the “next big thing” is? He knows right? I mean he has seen it happen and knows what will work right? I guess the point im trying to make is that God knows everything and the closer we are with him the more u hear his voice. How do you get close with God? Pray! “Dig in” to the word know the truth and pursue God.
