Seasons of Change

Sitting silently listening to the whispering wind and the subtle rustle of the leaves, I reflect on the times and how they are indeed changing. As we enter into the fall season and approach the all important day when we will select a new leader to become President of the United States. We hear the rumors and campaign promises that seem glorious but have little substance. The candidates have promised change in Washington, but they forget the maxim that change is inevitable!

The important thing to remember is what changes are important and necessary to restore faith in America. There are times when God's Spirit stirs us to seasons of intense prayer. The extent of our spiritual victories is directly proportionate to the intensity of our prayer and our ability to trust in God's faithfulness. God wants to see if we are content with the minimum or if we are willing to stretch our faith, so that we can receive life more abundantly. We must ask ourselves are we content with our institutional survival or are we willing to dare to thrive in a worldwide revival?
