TURNING THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN 4

Acts 17:6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

A REVIVED CHURCH CAN CHANGE IT'S SURROUNDINGS

When one church gets truly revived it can turn the community around it upside down. Other churches begin to see the Holy Spirit at work and then it begins to change them also. When the churches begin to be more concerned about glorifying God and reaching lost souls than about their own agenda then it will change their whole community.

Through history we have seen revivals cause saloons to be shut down, gambling establishments to close and other sinful practices to cease. I think we would be amazed if we were to really witness a real revival in our community in this day and age. If we did we would also see it not only in our community but in the communities around us.

Several times the Bible asks, "Why do the heathen rage?".
They rage because they are lost, they are empty and they need salvation. Jesus Christ is the only thing that will fill the void and we are the ones with the message to spread. To spread it we have to embrace it and live like we really believe it.

A revived church will turn the community and region it is in upside down.
