Revival Testimonies page 2, Testimony #5

I've never been what most people would consider a "horrible" person. I've never done drugs, never had alcohol, never cursed God, etc etc...but Saturday night in our devotional, God really showed me things in my life that I needed to change. They were mostly little things...attitudes, thoughts, small actions that I needed to fix. The biggest thing was ignoring God's convictions, which I believe a lot of the choir had been doing up until this week. God would tell us something, and we'd blow Him off. I was very selfish. I came on choir trip seeking what I could get out of it. It wasn't a ministry to me. It was basically a road trip with the girls. But God showed me all the opportunities to witness to others that I pass up daily. He showed me how ungrateful I have been. After everything my Jesus has done for me...I didn't even have a spare 10 min to spend in prayer, to spend witnessing, to spend in His Word.

...This week I saw that I represent Christ whether I realize it or not, and whether I want to accept it or not. Saturday night the senior girls realized that although we haven't been Calvary's most sinful senior class...we haven't lived up to our potential, which is almost just as bad. We had the mentality that we were just gonna blow our senior year and have a good time, regardless of God's plans and regardless of the cost. Saturday night we all stepped back and looked inside ourselves, and we didn’t like what we saw. So we decided to start changing things.

We all went back to our hotel rooms and prayed. The girls and I in my room made lists of the things we felt God telling us to change...we apologized to one another for not being the kinds of godly Christian friends we were suppose to be. Sunday morning the changes were evident. We were reading our Bibles on the way to church, and we were praying the hearts of the boys in our choir would be softened. Who would have known it would be only a few hours before our prayers would be answered.

That afternoon, during our warm-ups, ________ asked for volunteers to pray for the concert...I was shocked-at least 5-8 guys raised their hands. 20 minutes later, we finished praying. It was truly incredible, our choir prayed for 20 minutes because we Wanted to! not because we were given a time slot that we had to fill up. That night during the concert...God really touched us. _______ asked us to share with the congregation why we sing. We were all caught off guard, but once we got started, it was amazing the way God moved.

Never before has there been so much crying in one concert. We were all just so in awe of God's love and mercy and power. After the concert, we prayed for about 2 hours. I will never forget some of the testimonies I heard that night. I will never forget the way people just poured their hearts out to God and begged for forgiveness. Some of the boys even continued praying when we were told that it was time to eat, which is a pretty big deal for the guys in our choir ha ha. God called so many young men to be pastor's that night, it was such an amazing night.

Monday morning we were all convicted once again. You see, we sang to a school that was just like us. We surely got a taste of our own medicine that morning. Just looking at some of their faces you could see the disinterest and the apathy, you could see how miserable they were.

So on Tuesday morning during our chapel, we all gave testimonies in front of the entire school. So many people whose hearts I thought had been hardened gave their lives to Christ that morning. Even people who had no idea what was going on were getting up and testifying. Chapel lasted for about 2-3 hours that day.

The rest of the day you could just see God in everyone’s faces. You could see the peace and the joy all over their faces, it was amazing . The devil has made it quite obvious that He is very unhappy with the direction our school has been heading. He's made it very obvious even in my own life, different things he's trying to use to get me to fall.
