No Microwave No Shortcuts

We live in a microwavable time. Waiting is detested and bemoaned as a waste of time in this modern technological world. We have become satisfied with less quality if we can get it faster. Hence, the very reason that McDonald’s is a huge success. The sad part is that this mindset has crept into the church over the last fifty years. People spend less time than ever at the altar because it takes time. Now they have become satisfied with a low quality of spiritual life since it means they can microwave their experience in church to one hour and no more. They have settled for the spiritual Big Mac but if they would have spent a little more time they could have experienced the spiritual Triple Prime Burger from Ruby Tuesday’s. There are no shortcuts to revival. If we are going to get spiritual quality back in the church again—it will take time!
  • Time spent in prayer
  • Time spent in the Word
  • Time spent in fasting
  • Time spent in corporate worship
Quality is worth waiting on!

People want holiness without its demands, they want gifts without character, power without prayer, they want a psychologist instead of a preacher, they want to feel good about self instead of experiencing death to self, fire without a sacrifice, knowledge without the Word, goose bumps without a heart change. People do not wait for God to speak, wait for spiritual gifts, for maturity, for answered prayer, for the blessing of God.

All of this can be remedied if we regain a passion for Jesus and wait upon the Lord till he rains his power on us again!
