We Owe Him

#2 in Series

In the first article of the series, You Owe Him, I stated, “God does something for you…you want it to last…therefore, you must be thankful!” When David and Solomon built the Temple of God it was for God to dwell in. They made sure it was built to specific qualifications and commands. So often we avoid the requests of God. Oh yes, we like being a Christian, but we decide on our own what we will do and what we will not do.

God does not see things along this line of thinking. Once God says something or does something, it requires a response on our part. God always asks us, “Who will you now serve” or “Make a decision today.” Often we do not want to answer God when He gets personal with us. We rather ignore His voice and act on what ‘we believe is right’.

We see this today in all the confusion over how Mr. Trump won the election. “We got it wrong”, pollsters say. “We have become an elitist group,” politicians say within the Democratic Party. “Evangelicals came out to vote for Trump,” Republicans proclaim. Nevertheless, I will continue to state, “That no one is saying what God wanted and the impact of prayers, prayers prayed with passion, for His will to be done.” God’s will overrides anything man wants or is planning to do. It is time to acknowledge that it was God alone who influenced and drove this election’s results.

Many believers have been hoping but passively praying for God to revisit America. They want revival but the true question is, “What does God want from us?” I rather ask, “God what do you want from me?” God, let me pray the words of revival for your will to be done in America!

David and Solomon organized singers in the temple who sang songs and gave God thanks 24/7. Around the clock, there were songs of praise and thankfulness being given to God—“God inhabits the praise of His people.” You want revival? You better prepare yourself for continual praise, thankfulness, and prayer. We owe Him the words of our mouth—words that tell God how great He is!

Let me state again: we owe Him continual words of praise, thankfulness, and prayer. You want a spiritual renewal in your life, a revival of God’s presence in your community, or a nation that finds God—start with the example of the Temple of God.

God wants to come to America in a revival format. That is, it will be ‘like and yet unlike’ what has ever taken place before…a spiritual awakening similar yet different from the Great Awakening during the birth of our nation through Spirit-Led-Movements of recent years.

I believe it will ‘come as a wave’ from the East Coast to the West Coast. You will know and see it when it takes place. You will feel it and even be able to smell it.

‘God’s Rain & His Reign of Revivalism’ (as I call it), cannot be controlled or imagined in magnitude or scope regarding the manifestation of the power of God during this time. Therefore, let’s go forth to meet God—let’s offer praise, thankfulness and prayer. It’s time to prepare the way for the Lord! Respond to God today and He will show up tomorrow with joy for your life—You Owe Him!
