God Is Moving

By John McGregor
Executive Director
Canadian Revival Fellowship

As I travel across Canada and through the United States people always ask what do you see of revival today. It is important to remember that because we are not seeing great movement in North America that God is still moving in many instances around the world.

When the people of God realize that nothing can be done in human strength they begin to seek the Lord. CRF teams who are ministering internationally comment on the hunger for God in various places, in South America, in Asia and eastern Europe the presence of God is touching lives in a deep way. In Africa it is humbling to work along side pastors and leaders who have nothing of our materialistic world but they are mightily used by God through the Gospel.

So let me encourage you today as you read this devotional. God is working in revival even today as His Word is declared, consider what the Word of God says in Colossians chapter 1 and verses 5 and 6:

5. Because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of the truth, the gospel. 6. which has come to you just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth.

Notice in verse 6 how it says that the Word of truth is constantly bearing fruit and increasing. God has not changed, His Word is still the issue and when His Word is proclaimed in the power of His Spirit lives change to His Glory.

There are times when the people of God content themselves with empty cisterns which hold no water. Human philosophy and human ingenuity are a poor substitute for the genuine working of the Holy Spirit. Yes, God is working today and we need to come to the place where only His Word and His Spirit and directing our lives, then we too will be seeking His Glory and not our own.

God bless you as you seek Him.
