God Is Moving

Act 1:4 MKJV
(4) And having met with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father which you heard from Me.

We hear this expression from time to time: "God is really moving there." Maybe you're speaking to someone at work or at the game, and the conversation turns to church. One person is a churchgoer, the other is looking... and one says to the other, "You should really come visit my church. God is really doing a huge work there."

That sounds a bit pretentious. Oh really? God is doing something at your church and not at the church on the next corner?

Believe it or not... that might be the truth.

Jesus told His disciples to not leave Jerusalem because something amazing was going to happen in their midst - there. Had any one of them decided to leave - even for a good cause - they would have missed what God would do. It's not that God couldn't have poured His spirit out at the synagogue in Capernaum... it's that He didn't. Not then, and probably never.

The point is this. If God isn't doing a tremendous work at your church, why don't you go to where He IS doing a tremendous work? Are you waiting for Him to come around again? What if He doesn't? When you overhear someone say that God is 'doing a wonderful thing there', inquire. Find out where and go there!
