An American CHRIST Awakening:
If Not Now, When?

If not now, when? If there is a time when the Church of America (and the world) needs to awaken to the infinite supremacy of Christ and the boundless HOPE we have in Him—surely it is NOW!
David Bryant—and many others—call this a “CHRIST Awakening.” One definition I love is this: “When God’s Spirit uses God’s Word to re-introduce and re-enchant God’s people with God’s Son and the glory of all He is today.”
While reading in Luke 24, I’ve been meditating on the encounter Jesus had with two of His disciples after His resurrection. He joined them as they were walking on the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Luke says the disciples’ hearts burned within them as Jesus revealed to them that the Scriptures they were reading were speaking about Him!
If not now, when? WE need such a revelation—an awakening, revival, and Christward spiritual renewal—that’s burning in us and among us as God’s people in America! Just as much, our unsaved friends, relatives, and neighbors desperately need the abundant life (John 10:10) and hope that will overflow from us as we become awakened to more and more of Jesus—and live daily in the reality of our growing intimacy with Him in His supremacy! Can I get an AMEN?
If not now, when? David recently released a book called The Hour Has Come. This free eBook is available to everyone at https://christnow.com/the-hour-has-come/. Would you please download and read it soon, especially the Introduction and the chapter about Christ Awakening Servant Teams (CASTs)?
What do you believe the Spirit is ready to do—in you and me, in our families, congregations, neighborhoods, ministries, communities, and nation—IF multitudes of us unite in awakening to and living in much more of our risen, reigning Lord Jesus Christ?
If not now, when? At this very moment, this revolutionary promise of 2 Corinthians 4:6 waits to be more fully manifested in whole new ways, in and among Jesus followers across America today:
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (KJV).
