On Sunday night, I got smacked. Mid-way during service I had gotten a text message from an old friend who is attending seminary. I told him to watch the services on CTN or on revival.com, but he didn’t seem interested. Just in my opinion, if you’re hungry for God and heard that revival was breaking out, I would want to check it out. But he was comfortable in his little bubble. He basically told me that he believes in predestination, so whether we go out and preaches the gospel or whatever; it won’t really make a difference in the end. Honestly, that just got me mad.
I didn’t argue with him. But then God put it in my heart that I’m going to have to face a lot of people who think the same way as my friend, and in order to talk to them, I need a firm foundation in the Word. Also that I needed to pray. A LOT. During service, I don’t even remember what Pastor was talking about but I just started crying… The whole time I was thinking, this is why I’m here, this is why I’m at RBI. If I don’t go out and preach the gospel, then the blood of those I was supposed to reach are on my hands. So yeah, even though I’m getting tired, I’m going to push through and come out of this GAT stronger and more hungry for God. AMEN.-Michelle Y.
