For several weeks I have wrestled with a truth that God has placed in the very pit of my soul.
It would be so easy to find an excuse for me not being the person Christ wants me to be.
I could rally off the names of men and women who I would swear are stumbling blocks in my walk and in my leadership.
I could argue that I’m trying to be in tune with culture so I can remain relevant to a generation.
I could point to a list of laws and bills that completely subvert the word of God.
I could actually fool myself and others into thinking that I have this thing figured out.
Or…
I could humble myself before an Almighty God and ask Him to change me. To awake my soul. And when I ask, He will do it. And it won’t be easy. It would prove to be the hardest journey of my life. God would challenge me in ways that I never knew. He would force me to come face to face with me. And I know what that means.
But that scares me. I’ve prayed for God to move powerfully in my life before, and when He did, I thought my very life was falling apart.
Ironically enough, it was at those times that I felt most secure in my God.
I say all that to say this. I wonder what would happen if we started a movement. A movement of the children of God to come together and bow before Him and beg Him to change us.
What would happen if even just a few of us prayed for God to challenge? For God to create. For God to violently remove sin from us. For God to show us what it really means to be made in His image.
What would happen if we prayed for an awakening?
I don’t think we were meant to pursue Him alone. So I’m asking, are there any out there who are willing to take this journey with me?
With all the pain.
With all the peace.
With all the tears.
With all the joys.
If you’re in leave a comment below and I’ll let you know in the coming days how we’re going to make it happen.
It terrifies me to even think of what could take place….so I'm not going to think about it and just say "Let's go!!" It may leave me scared and frightened for now but excited and hopeful at the same time.
woo! I’m excited that you’re excited!
In all seriousness I’m scared to death.
More scared than I am of frogs!!
ha. this term was used last night in our revival services- awakening. we’re on week 3 of powerful powerful awakening services.

Awesome! We haven’t begun this journey just yet, but I’m excited.
Praying for your services to continue to awaken!
I’m in. =) “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” -Joshua 1:9
