                      Revival

You have prayed and called out to Me, saying,
"Let the revival begin!"
Yes, indeed, do let the revival begin.
For I say unto you that today is the day
and now is the hour that I have chosen
for My spirit to sweep this land with revival.
I have decreed it, I have declared it:
therefore, let it begin.

Now I have passed the baton to you, My people.
For revival begins in the hearts and the minds of My people.
Have I not said, "If you will but humble yourselves and pray,
I will heal your land?"
Therefore, if you will but seek My face,
I will begin by planting the seed of revival in your hearts.

Therefore, feed the seed of revival with the word of God
and water it in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
For up unto this time, some of you have been much like Martha,
busying yourselves with this activity and another,
planning this outreach and another, all in My name.
And I have been very pleased.

But in this day, I say choose the better portion--
choose to be like Mary, and seek My face.
For in this day, I seek the humble to do My work.
For to the humble I will give the ability to work
the signs and the wonders.
Knowing and remembering this,
it is not you, but I working in you,
that gives you the ability to accomplish these things.

In the day that this is accomplished in My people
there will be no need to plan outreaches to draw the people in;
for the working of miracles, the signs and wonders,
will draw in the crowds.
For they will want to see what the Lord hath done
in and through His people.

But glory not in this,
for I have a better way than this I wish for you to seek.
The signs and wonders are for those in transition,
even as the children of Israel required signs and wonders,
miracles and divine provision to survive in the wilderness.
They were in transition
on their way to the promised land.
But once they had entered in to what I had promised them--
once they had crossed over to live in the promised land--
they no longer needed the signs, wonders, and miracles to survive,
for they lived in the land of perpetual blessing and divine abundance.
Therefore, seek that you too might enter in,
that divine abundance and perpetual blessing might be yours as well.
