The Dynamic of Growth

Rev. 12: 11 - 'And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony...and they did not love their lives to the death...'

We can all cheer when we begin to grow in size, but nothing is more fulfilling than to see people grow in spirit!  Maturity and Growth are realized when the people of God become fully aware that they must conquer and overcome things in their lives.  Revival is an atmosphere, but Victory is a choice!  The Word tells us that without the Blood of the Lamb, we have no conquering to accomplish...what stabilizes this also is the word of our testimony.

A selfless love must be learned, developed, and mastered in order to fulfill the full will of God for our lives.  This recent revival with Evangelist Robert Hedegard was incredible!!  I personally believe it was because of the expectancy God's people had; in other words, the people expected to hear from God each and every service!!  They refused to be distracted by what was going on outside of the church and they refused to reach for entertainment in Christ...they wanted God to come down and minister, that's what He did!

Do you find yourself in the same place spiritually as you were the year or years before?  Could it now be that somewhere along the way, your value system went back to the world.  In other words, what you thought was important to Jesus at the beginning of your walk, isn't so significant now...friend of mine, it's' high time to get back in place!  The devil is a liar, and he's defeated; he must be defeated in your life if you are to experience the full potential of Jesus Christ.
