He’s done it again. He gone and touched a whole group of people. Again. And again. And again! Even the pastor is messed up! These people are so messed up, it was 10:45 pm before we got out of church!
Can you believe people will go to church in America and stay until 10:45? The pastor finally had to make people go home!
I can believe it! Because Matthew 5:6 still states Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled!
You see I’ve become a little smarter; it has nothing to do with any gift I have, it has everything to do with the fact that when people get hungry and thirsty, they set themselves on a collision course with the Holy Ghost!!
They shall be filled!
Can you believe people would go to church in America and stay till 10:45? Someone forgot to tell some famous church leaders the days of revival are not over!

David,
I remember many nights, as a child and teenager, of being at the church well past 11:00 p.m.
It has been over 30 years since I have seen it. Today a one hour service is about all we can handle, and we are being taught that if you want your church to grow, restrict it to an hour.

But there are still some people hungry enough to stick with it even if it goes into overtime!!!!
A friend of mine recently wrote concerning the resurrection account in John 20. The disciples were satisfied with the evidence (empty tomb, discarded linen) and returned to their homes. However, Mary was not content to go home with mere evidence. She stayed, waiting to encounter Jesus for herself. She was not even content to go home when she then encountered angels. She waited to encounter Jesus.
Lord, forgive the church for being content to return to our homes having not stayed to encounter You. Stir up a hunger within us for encounter and transformation. Stir up within us a hunger and thirsting after You.
