These cries of hopeful desperation will be the seeds that produce the revival we long for. 
Are you willing to declare your desperation? 

We will never change unless we come to grips that we can’t be saved by religion, but only through the power of the gospel.  As we surrender our self-salvation projects to God and receive His gracious gift of salvation, we will experience the rest, the love, and the transformation that marks a child of God. 

What if the Church was known for the Gospel? 

Here is what I know: You will never stand for Christ unless you’ve made a commitment to Christ.  Have you had that define the relationship conversation with Jesus?  What’s it going to be?  A commitment or an imitation of the real thing?

THREE LESSONS:
Live your life with a sense of purpose and urgency
Put first things first
Do it now
 

If you find yourself in a Babylon Mindset today there is only one way out. It is a turning from your way of thinking to God’s way of thinking.  It is understanding who you are before a Holy God.  It is understanding that He alone is Worthy!  And that we alone are needy. 

Are there disconnects in your life? 
Are there discrepancies between what you desire in your heart and what you are doing with your life? 
Is there alignment between your intention and your direction? 

We will be tested.  We will be asked to bow.  We will have a choice: Disobey God or Defy Babylon.  Remember, godly defiance requires godly convictions. 

All things are possible with God.  Don’t lose hope. God wants us to come to Him for deliverance.  Seek His face. God will use His people to do great things.  Be available. 

Where is God asking you to obey?  What are you enduring that you don’t understand?  Is your faith mere bravado or are you letting God test you, change you, and ultimately strengthen you?  He’s not done and neither are you.  There is more to this story.
