It seems God will act whenever and wherever his people slow down long enough to give him their total attention in faith-filled prayer, praise, and worshipful waiting. Key words in that sentence is total attention. We see it repeatedly in scripture; God is waiting to break thru, to transform lives and equip people to do things beyond “all we ask or imagine according to his power that is at work within us” (Ephesians 3:20). The condition is that we are attentive. Isn’t that what happened at Pentecost? Using the death and resurrection of our Lord, God got the attention of Jesus’ followers to the point that they became attentive to God and on Pentecost the Spirit moved. I believe God wants to move once more by invading and blessing our churches and wouldn’t the perfect place be VBS, or a mission trip, or Sunday morning worship, or even at a business meeting? All God asks is our cooperation, for us to focus on him…intently. It is my prayer this month, as we slow down and seek God’s face that his power may begin to work in and thru us as we yield ourselves totally to the Spirit of the Living God.
