If you haven't heard, Union Hill Baptist Church is seeking real revival in 2009. In fact, we are dedicating this entire year for revival that will spread outside our church walls and stir the people in our community.

For us to have REAL revival we must forget about what has happened in the past. Not only the bad things but we must stop living off yesterday's successes and trust God for new ones.

Isaiah 43:18
"Do not call to mind the former things or ponder things of the past."

Yes, He was God of yesterday but He is also God of today. We must turn our attention to what we are doing for Him today. It's great that you served so well back in the 80's. It's great that you led someone to the Lord last year but what are you going to do for Him today?

What steps are you going to take today that will enable you to experience revival in your life? Just as you shouldn't hold on to yesterday's successes, you shouldn't hold on to yesterday's defeats.

Maybe you tried committing to God more and it never worked out the way you thought it should. You probably took prayer needs before God one time before but never saw it work out like you thought it would. JUST HOLD ON! God is not finished saving. God is not finished healing. God is not finished in blessing His children.

Let go of the "former things" - God is getting ready to do something special in your life today. So what are you going to do for Him today?

Prayer: "God, it is so easy to hold on to things of the past. Help us today to release those things that will hold us back from experiencing more of you today"
