Hungry for Revival

Last night i got a phone call from two of my high school students asking if we could talk. So I met them at the local Dairy Queen(yeah DQ), which is about 2.3 seconds from my house. Anyway, they started off just sharing their heart and their frustrations with their school and the name that "church" has at their school. They were telling me what they didn't like about our services and what was frustrating to them, but it all came back to this literal hunger for Revival. I listened to every word they said and took it in as non-biased as I could. And all I could see in them was this hunger for Revival, this raw desire to see their friends honestly understand the Love that Jesus has for them. As I processed their words, a lot of what they said were totally right. One of the statements made was, "It is so much harder now days to bring people to church and to share with them Jesus." I have heard this so much from my own mouth to my parents, but really it is somewhat true. The end times are coming and the enemy is working ever so hard to stop Revival. One of them even said this, "it's not that they dislike church or Christians... they Hate church and God." As I listened to them speak, they were totally right. There is this deep anger that people have in their hearts due to past experiences or even feelings of God letting them down. But even now, giving up is not an option. We are always going to be hated. I mean Jesus said Himself in John 15:18, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you." The bottom line of this whole conversation was that they were hungry for Revival. Hungry to see students just get it like they do. So in retrospect, they had every right to frustrated. See I think it is these kinds of righteous frustrations that drive us to go after the people around us. It is this "Holy discontent" that drives us to go after the "ONE." That one person we see day in and day out in our lives. That one person that our lives cross paths with. That one person we want to get it. I don't know about you, but I am hungry for Revival and the enemy's attacks has built this "Holy Discontent" in me to reach a world for Jesus, no matter the hate, or anger. Let our Righteous frustrations drive us to our knees. Let our Holy Discontent push us to love someone today. Go after someone today; Reach them, love them. Know that our God loves them so much! Let Revival burn deep in your heart.
