Over a hundred years ago, a famous pastor once wrote: “What the Church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men and women whom the Holy Ghost can use - people of prayer, men and women mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through people. He does not come on machinery, but on people. He does not anoint plans, but men and women, men and women of prayer.” (adapted from E.M. Bounds)
What we need as a church is not better plans, events, or activities. What we need is a revival of the Holy Spirit. As we study this month, let’s open our eyes, ears, minds, and hearts so that we may not just learn about the Holy Spirit, but that we may experience the transforming power of the Holy Spirit flowing through us and through the life of our church. Let us join together in a passionate plea for revival at Ecclesia as God teaches us about the role of the Spirit in our lives.
