Revived

Tonight my roommate Justin and I watched the dvd, Transformations II. My heart and soul were totally revived and encouraged and challenged. For those that don't know, Transformations is a video about God's presence showing up in difference places around the world and how revival comes and the community is totally changed. The Holy Spirit comes and then deep repentance, followed by renewal of the community in the spiritual and physical realms. It's so beautiful.

One of the more awesome testimonies on the dvd was about these villages in the east arctic territories of Canada. These people were seeking Jesus and asking Him to help their troubled community for weeks and months. (It's seems like I know nothing of this kind of prayer.) All of the sudden stuff just started to happen. People started to get tired of their drugs and porn and alcohol and they came to church in droves. People were getting born again left and right.
One Sunday afternoon they decided to have a youth service. They were praying and singing and seeking the Lord. All of the sudden the Holy Spirit showed up. (They have this on recording.) On the tape you hear this huge wind just show up and it sounds like a jet engine is in the room. People are crying out and whaling. God was in the room.

They were interviewing some of the people that were at that meeting and they played the tape for them and they just started to cry. It was so real to them and they were so humbled that the God of the universe came down and poured out His spirit on them. It was so beautiful.
Make we seek the Lord like this. I think at least in my own life, I don't experience Jesus like this or even attempt to because I don't believe it can happen. I don't even feel like I am hungry enough for God to seek Him like these people. Help me Jesus.

At the same time my heart is so encouraged and excited about Jesus and that He is real. That we can know Him. He is so patient with us and so kind and tender. I love the tender heard of Jesus. I am so weak and unable to seek the Lord like He should be sought. Help me Jesus.
I love Jesus. I also love my brothers and sisters in Jesus. PTL!
