Revolution is moving!!!

Several weeks ago, I was preaching through a series at Revolution titled Concealed Weapons dealing with spiritual warfare and our tools to fight against the enemy. One of the weeks was on the topic of fasting and my good friend, accountability partner, and elder at Revolution Church Zach Slagel tackled the topic.

At the conclusion of the service, I challenged our people to join in a 10 or 21 day corporate fast asking God for direction on location and facilities. I was blown away!

I was blown away by the response of the people. It’s easy to get people excited about some things. If you have a building to build or a specific project that results in hungry people getting fed or lost people getting found, you can rally support for that kind of thing with relative ease.

But that was not the case here. We were simply seeking God’s purpose and direction. We wanted to know more fully what His plan for us was. We weren’t asking Him to bless our plan, but rather to reveal His plan so we could jump in with both feet.

The response was somewhat overwhelming. An amazing number of people joined in the fast with the leadership! This is an underutilized spiritual discipline that many fellow Revolutionaries took the opportunity to step into an area of faith development. I am excited to hear the stories of what God showed people during their time of fasting.

I was blown away by the response of God. We asked him to give us a greater glimpse of His plan. We longed to know more fully His purpose for Revolution Church. And He answered.

We are now leasing an amazing space from the Greenville Baptist Association located in the downtown Greenville area. We are now situated in a location that is central to many areas and this is definitely a community we can pour our hearts into and physically display the love of Christ!

There are a handful of times in my walk with God where I have clearly and distinctly heard from Him about a specific situation. There are fewer still where I could see the tangible effects of His handiwork in bringing the situation to bear. This was one of those moments. I can’t recount all the specific details, but this is one that has God’s fingerprints all over it!

I would like to thank so many of you for praying with us in this matter.

This Sunday morning, we will have our first service at the new location and our first morning service ever! If you are reading this and in the area, I would like to personally invite you to come. The details are above and if you click the card you can get directions. I don’t want to pull anyone away from being plugged in at their own church. Sometimes, it’s just encouraging to see what God is up to in other branch locations of The Church!
