Feeling A Revival Coming On: Hanging on to the Old

Hi, well last week I was automatically switched to the new Blogger format. I liked some aspects of it. The big screen was great, but had a very difficult time with the label. I switched back to the old Blogger format, and will probably stay with it until Blogger decides to automatically change it to their new format.

I am feeling a revival in my spirit that is helping me cope with all the changes. I know that I do tend to hang onto the old for far longer than I probably should be holding onto it. I don't like feeling afraid and worried about gunshots and rioting. Yet I am beginning to understand that God is revealing the evil for what it is. We have become so complacent with our thinking, and allowed those who have an evil agenda to get away with a lot of "stuff."

When I hear about what evil agenda is being brewed up to take control of us, it is then when I realize all the more that we need to wake up from our complacency. It can get frustrating, I know, when you feel like you really can't do anything. Yet I know that God is in control, and that he will revive us to serve him. I oddly enough get a bit excited when I see prophecy being fulfilled right before my eyes. Some days, admittedly, I long to see Jesus and pray that I will hear him say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

Other days doubt swirls around me. I see everything changing so rapidly, and just want it to slow down. I mourn the loss of so many things that I cherish. Yes, I am guilty of hanging on to the old. I think about the 1920s and speculate what could have happened to get everyone out of the "damn" masks. I see the evidence of a church revival in the beautiful old buildings, some sadly enough are no longer churches. I do wonder what could have happened to trigger that church growth and building. I don't think that will happen this time. Looking to the past I notice a  lot of things that were prevalent during that time from 1917 to the early 1920s that are not prevalent today.

Yes, I do feel that revival coming on though. This revival will be different than the revival that happened in the early 1920s. We have abandoned God entirely, unlike during the 1920s when God was still center in most people's lives. God hasn't abandoned us. I imagine that this revival will be awesome and worldwide, and will possibly be the last great revival until the Lord comes to take us home to be with him forever. I can't predict the future though. I trust God with it.
