Numbers don't tell it all

One thing I’ve learned in revival is that numbers don’t tell it all. “How many people do you have in your church?” is not the question we should be asking.

What we should be looking at is, “How much work of the Holy Spirit is going on?” How many lives are being touched and transformed by God’s amazing presence?

We need the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It’s what changes people’s lives!

I’m telling you, wherever God is -- things start happening. Lives start changing and a ripple effect happens as transformed people start letting the Holy Spirit do something powerful through their lives.

Numbers are great, but not if God’s left the building. We need a move of God to make us into the people we’re supposed to be.

Sounds like I’m beating a dead horse to make my point, but we’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of people get absolutely changed forever in revival. They go back to their churches and homes and transformation starts happening there, too.

When ordinary people step into the realm of God’s presence, it feels different, it looks different and life gets better.

Maybe instead of counting people we should count testimonies. Numbers are great, but to impact the world we’ve got to be transformed people. That’s what counts.

Yours for revival,
