Here is the “secret” to tangible movements of God: Unity among Christians.
That’s it. God’s presence will be powerfully manifest when diverse groups of believers pray, worship and gather together for the purpose of lifting up the name of Jesus. I’ve seen it happen many times.
America’s divisions now threaten our existence. The answer is revival. Revival awakens spiritually dull believers and spreads the Gospel. The Gospel, the message that Jesus saves, changes the world. Even my staunchest atheist friends agree that Christianity has changed the world.
If revival is the solution, and salvation is as simple as “believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31), why is the world not Christian after 2,000 years? Two reasons: Christians’ failure to share the Gospel and our lack of unity. Unity can be many things; for Christians, unity is rallying around what’s essential to the Gospel and a willingness to release what is not.
