Spark the revival

I spent last night in Charlotte as a Jesus culture concert. Aside from a few songs here and there, I didn't know much about the group. My sister goes to school a couple hours away though, so I don't see her much and she asked me to go with her. An easy yes, obviously. I had no clue what I was getting into...
The night opened with some music the noir speaker came out on stage. The uppity, California funny guy rubbed me the wrong way immediately and I found myself wondering how I'd make it through this. After 5 minutes I was hooked and my attention was on him wholly, and in turn, on God. He spoke about using a spark to start a revival and it really made me think about our job as Christians, and what we do, compared to what we could do. A lot of time we may sit back and live our private Christian lives but when we get back to our school, workplace, hangout spots, we fade from that. It's uncomfortable to be in that situation and be the light shining in the darkness. You know what though? Sometimes God takes us out of our comfort zone to do great things. He took Moses way out of his comfort zone as Moses led people through wilderness for 40 years! And the guy was 80, when he left! I'm 24 and I would've quit immediately. He didn't quit though.
A lot of times we say to ourselves, were just one person, what can we do? That's not true at all. You may be one human, but a man that is carrying out Gods will can not be stopped. Problem is for whatever reason we aren't ready to carry that will out. The world is a dark place and humans by nature fear what can't be seen. Is it just a coincidence then that God tells us that Christians ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD?? Light beats dark every single time. We see it every day. It just takes a little bit. One little spark can light a whole forest fire. So where is the spark going to come from? We need to want it. So I challenge you to light that spark. Be fired up, and let it be known. You'll be amazed at the effects it could have
I love you all

Preaching isn't normally my thing, as this is kind of a personal blog. God laid that on my heart though, and that's aww job, to share. Those words are Gods words, I just write them down.
