ready for REVIVAL???

"If you are content to live without revival, you will."
Do we want revival more than we want to breathe? Do we have the radical and holy desire to see God break 
out? Do we find that the purpose statement for our lives is to have the weight of His glory follow us?
The Scripture speaks about the presence of God. Beginning in Genesis 1:2 with the Spirit of God hovering over the face of the waters and ending in Revelation 22:20 with our Lord's promise, "I am coming soon," Scripture is clear about God's desire for us to dwell in His presence. The patriarchs, the prophets, the disciples, the apostles, and the early church fathers were always seeking a greater measure of the "coming of God." They realized that without God's manifest presence, little of eternal significance would take place.
Is there any evidence of God moving in our nation like He did in previous centuries in other countries? What about our church? Are we seeing signs of true revival? Are marriages being restored? Is there weeping for lost souls? Are people being unexplainably drawn to Christ? Are the prayer meetings filled to overflowing? Are people hungry for the Word of God? Are people changing from old habits and ways? Are we establishing Kingdom of God wherever we go?
Yet again, on Saturday during worshipnet, God gave me a word based from Isaiah 40:

Knowing how desperately they needed God, they were set on seeking Him.
Likewise, may we be in pursuit to have the REVIVER of REVIVALS in our lives! May we not be content to be in His presence only when we go NLCC. May we not be content just to hear about Him or read about Him. May we not be content until He takes His rightful place!

A few weeks ago, God gave me a vision during women's net. It was of our church 
(that is, us) contained within a box. As we prayed, the glory of God filled it to the brim until the 4 walls exploded because it could no longer contain the weight of His presence. I believe that as we repent, turn from our wicked ways and seek the Lord's face, indeed, He will turn towards us, open the flood gates of heaven and fill our house till its overflowing.
God spoke clearly to me that night that He cannot be limited or contained because He is infinite and longs to go far beyond the 4 walls of our church and all that we have ever expected.(that is, us) contained within a box. As we prayed, the glory of God filled it to the brim until the 4 walls exploded because it could no longer contain the weight of His presence. I believe that as we repent, turn from our wicked ways and seek the Lord's face, indeed, He will turn towards us, open the flood gates of heaven and fill our house till its overflowing. Yet again, on Saturday during worshipnet, God gave me a word based from Isaiah 40:
"Prepare the way of the LORD;
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough places smooth;
The glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
As we prepare the way of the Lord by our lives, His glory
WILL come and all flesh from the NORTH, SOUTH,
EAST and WEST shall be witnesses.
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough places smooth;
The glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
As we prepare the way of the Lord by our lives, His glory
WILL come and all flesh from the NORTH, SOUTH,
EAST and WEST shall be witnesses.
