There are no shortcuts to spiritual awakening or coming of His presence. The glory of God only comes when the conversion of hearts and made us smash knees, because his presence demanded purity and only the people who kill his flesh can see the face of God.
We can not expect other people to repent in earnest if we are not willing to continually walk in repentance.
The world has tired of listening to the churches that arrogant, with sermons that look good from behind the pulpit high with topics about conversion as a lot of hypocrisy in the church occurred.
What we need is to come up with a broken heart and confess we have problems and want to say I want to repent of my sins and we'll see how many people will start crawling out of cracks in society when they see the church repent! It is serious enough to be aware of is that we do not have enough bread of His presence because we do not want to come to collapsed under his feet.
Our churches filled with "the lost son's career" a more loving Father goods than their Father. Sometimes we come to eat the shirt is not seeking the Father's family, but to beg and persuade him to give all that is in his house that was promised to be our property, and said I wanted all those gifts, I want the best, thanks to a full and even overflowing, I want all of it was mine. In Luke 15:11 Jesus said: "There's a has two sons, the youngest said to his father: Father, give me a part of our property that come to me. Then his father to distribute the property among them."
Ironically, thanks to the Father who had financed the trip was the lost child to stay away from the face of the Father! And through the heart of poverty consciousness, he moved back to the embrace of the Father, Luke 15:13-17 says: "A few days later the younger son sold all his share and went to a distant country. There he wasted his property with a living spree. After he spent everything, a famine arose in that country and he began to be protracted, and then he went and worked for an employer in the country. The man told him to the fields to keep the pig.
Then he wants to fill his belly with the husks the pigs were eating, but no one would let him, then he realized it, he said: How many people my father hired an abundant food, but I'm here to die of starvation.
Perhaps we never use the blessings that God has given to us to finance our trip leaving Christ as the center of our lives. Arrive at a certain point where we deny the existence of the world and we can no longer survive even we had a wonderful time difficult and constant struggle that makes us slumped to lose hope, because there was no fellowship with God we can not even feel anymore His presence.
Recovery or revival will happen if we want to come to Him and fell at His feet in repentance was: "I'll get up and go to my father and said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against fathers, I am no longer worthy children mentioned the father; treat me as one of his father's wage. So he rose up and went to his father.
The world may hate and reject us, but our God is a God full of mercy: "When he was away, his father saw him, and was moved with pity. His father ran to get him and then embraced and kissed him. The boy said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against the father, I am no longer worthy father mentioned child. But the father said to his servants: Quick let's take it to the best robe, was put on him and put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And take that fat calves, he is hamstrung and let us eat and rejoice. "
How deeply we have fallen? how far we have left him? red how our sins before Him? He is a faithful God who is always waiting for us to come back to Him.
