During our prayer meetings and our fasting times God has been making Isaiah’s cry our cry as well. "Oh, that You would rend the heavens and that you would come down and that the mountains would shake at Your presence."
We are desperate for a Heaven-sent revival. We long for the restoration of the God’s Presence in our lives and in our church. We blush as we consider the modern-day church. It is High time to rebuild the churches with God’s resurrection power. Too many of our Pentecostal assemblies are devoid of the power of God and vacated by the youth.
"Oh, that you would rend the Heavens and come down" has always been the cry of the true Church, that living organism...the Body of Christ.
It seems that there is a growing realization for the great need for this to happen throughout the world again. Small groups of believers are fasting and praying through. God do it again!
We humble ourselves in prayer, seeking His face, we want to be those people that were absent in Isaiah 64… “There were none that stirred themselves up to take a hold of God!” We want God!
We are hungry for more than some warm and fuzzy religious retreat. We’ve done enough retreating! We are hungry for more than some devil tolerating, worldly compromising, harmless Spiritual Emphasis Week. We certainly long for more than a mere denominational drive or some wicked denominational PR ladened mission. We want to take a hold of God and absolutely nothing else will satisfy us. Don’t bother telling us that it can’t be done!
God has done it before… and He can do it again!
O God, split the skies and come down again in mighty power as you used to do. Lord, DO IT AGAIN!

I'm not saying we should PHYSICALLY 'set ourselves on fire' but hey, in a spiritual sense I think possibly God is waiting to see to see just how far we will give up of ourselves before He brings this revival. After all, what if He brought it tomorrow but we were not ready - what if being ready is the factor He's waiting for. What am I doing to ready myself?
Thanks for your words!
I say "Amen". We know God WILL split the skies again one day. But a good old revival down here on earth can sure happen before that!
Thanks for these great messages! Keep em coming!

Hi Becky
I finally got to read the "comments".
I'm really a lot better at ranching and stuff than this whole blogging thing. But between my daughter and Barb I think I'll get by.
Any way just wanted to say thanks for the encouragement.
