Never have I been this excited for the release of a movie. We were part of a group that saw the pre-screening of the movie Woodlawn prior to its release in the theaters. I have personally seen it 3 times and am just as anxious to see it again on October 16. The message resonates with my heart and back in 2006 when God came upon my and I surrendered my life to him the word that was laid on my heart was REVIVAL. It started with a personal REVIVAL in my life and then a REVIVAL in my relationship with my wife and family. From there Revival spread throughout many different areas of our life including community, business and much more. Was it a Revival of the olden days? Not quite, but it was a true personal awakening to the presence of God in my everyday life.

This is why this message/movie is so strong on my heart. It has been the prayer of many in our nation for years. We pray daily for a spiritual awakening in America! We are longing for the days when people put God first in their life and miracles begin to breakout all across the country. The day theaters are filled with people seeking God, the day churches and prayer house are filled with people seeking the Lord. The day we can see stadiums not only used for the gathering of sports but used to gather the body of Jesus Christ all across the nation. This is the DREAM we have had on our heart for 8 years. It is the #1 thing I long to see in my lifetime. Why? I believe Revival could preserve our country for another generation and save people, families, churches, & businesses all across the nation. Revival can change the course for our children's future. That is WHY we choose to pray for Revival everyday. i love my kids too much to see our nation slip away. Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. I believe this movement will start with a prayer of repentance. This movement may start around a verse that many leaders and past generations prayed over and over again. The prayer of repentance, the one that stirs God's heart to move upon us again!

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

So where do we go from here? We start by praying in our homes. We pray together and we begin to gather people seeking God. I think this movie is a great way to invite a friend, neighbor or co worker to hear an amazing message that will impact people from all walks of life. It is a mesage on faith, family, hardships, struggles, relationships and so much more. It is not a movie just for football fans, this a a movie for everyone. See you in the theaters!
