Lord Send a Revival!!!

If the Lord says the same, this time tomorrow night we will have some hint or indication as to the direction of Spring Revival 2006. There comes a time when we've "gone as a far as we can humanly go." We've sent letters, secured an evangelist, prepared the programs and sanctuary. More importantly, I've allowed the Lord to till my heart through prayer. I have continually meditated in His word. Now....................... I place it ALL in the hands of God our Father!!! "Lord I trust You to have Your own way with our lives on this week. You know our needs and where they exists. Speak to our hearts through the ministry of Pastor Willis. Crown him with the cause of the kingdom and allow him to compassionately command the congregation with clarity and conviction. Lord, You know how much I need You as the leader of Your people. So many of Your people have waxed cold and turned back. Speak Lord in a fashion that will call us aside from our selfish inconsideration and closer to the cross of Your son Jesus Christ. Have us, once again, to embrace the sufficiency of Christ and the inerrancy of scripture. Fill us with Your sweet Holy Spirit that He would 'teach us all things...' Empower Pastor Willis spiritually. Endow him with physical strength needed to preach with power. Equip him with every resource he needs. Enfold him with Your love. Employ him with the tasks of relevancy to our congregation. Then, when the benediction is announced on Thursday, Expand his territory and Increase our appreciation for what You have done. Lord touch every person who will have a responsibility on the worship agenda. Anoint every song, prayer, scripture, expression and offering we present in worship. Allow us the sanity to step beyond ourselves and do what is necessary to see Your name exalted. Move upon every heart of our congregation to share cheerfully of their possessions so that this ministry endeavor is one that will edify and not burden with indebtedness. Cast aside the negative connotations that have so hindered in the past. Afford the critical and complaining the opportunity to fall oblivious to their flagrant intentions not to support the revival and, in that oblivion, find themselves in the worship service challenged and changed by the word shared. Lord we need more than an event or an occasion, we need a true move that can only come by your hand. I come before you in total submission to your will. Lord Send a Revival. Amen"
