Revivals + Railways - Why revivals are short-lived and how to maximise a move of God.

NOTES:
Throughout the biblical narrative, we see that God is always moving … God is active and at work
He moves and moves us and our whole world toward Himself.
We see this movement, this God activity, manifests itself differently across time.
For example in the Old Testament when the nation of Israel camped in the wilderness, a MOVE OF GOD was evidenced by the physical shift of a cloud or a fire….when God moved…the people followed
In the New Testament (pre-Pentecost) God (Jesus) was always on the move and His followers followed.
Post Pentecost the movement of God is manifest by the work of the Spirit…
As followers of Jesus, we actually have a responsibility to be aware of these Holy Spirit movements, revivals, awakenings AND we MUST move with them…
When God is moving, revival is breaking out, a move of God is taking place..our BEST response is to embrace the change AND deploy our systems.
ACTS 6:1-4 MSG During this time, as the disciples were increasing in numbers by leaps and bounds, hard feelings developed among the Greek-speaking believers—“Hellenists”—toward the Hebrew-speaking believers because their widows were being discriminated against in the daily food lines. So the Twelve called a meeting of the disciples. They said, “It wouldn’t be right for us to abandon our responsibilities for preaching and teaching the Word of God to help with the care of the poor. So, friends, choose seven men from among you whom everyone trusts, men full of the Holy Spirit and good sense, and we’ll assign them this task. Meanwhile, we’ll stick to our assigned tasks of prayer and speaking God’s Word.”
Number 4:5-6 NLT When the camp moves, Aaron and his sons must enter the Tabernacle first to take down the inner curtain and cover the Ark of the Covenant with it. Then they must cover the inner curtain with fine goatskin leather and spread over that a single piece of blue cloth. Finally, they must put the carrying poles of the Ark in place.
Deploy Our Systems:
Return to the heart of it.
Systems serve our culture, culture serves our values - What matters most to us, needs to matter right throughout our journey with God as he moves us, revives us, and shifts us.
Pre-build scalable systems across all areas of church life.
- finance, governance, leadership, discipleship, evangelism
Be faithful in the middle of the move…
- Wait on the tables / fold the fabrics, i.e. Turn up, week in and week out, do the work, make the phone calls, roster the teams, and bring our best in all areas of church life.
