I will never be the same - Testimonies of young adults in revival

By Jordan Eubanks

The first distinct memory I have of experiencing the presence of God was in a small white church building. I don’t remember very much about what happened that day. What I do remember is that it placed a drive in me to always follow Jesus, and a longing for all He is.

As the years went by, I became satisfied with morality and told myself that everything would be better “one day”. That “one day” seemed so far away from the day-to-day reality of the emptiness I was facing at the moment. I could never understand the concept of living just to die. Was there no option for God to rescue me now?

It was around this time that I began to journal daily. I would escape reality by burying myself deep into books and stories. No matter what I was doing, it seemed impossible to escape. Looking back at my journal entries from those days, the depression and instability I was feeling is clearly seen in the words I wrote.

The years continued to come and go and my heart became hardened toward God and also toward people. I was controlled by fear, pride and selfishness. There wasn’t one circumstance or action that caused me to become that way. It was a slow progression that happened over time.

June 3, 2011, marked the one year anniversary since the day I made the agonizing decision to leave all I had ever known to embrace something I could only hope was real. It was that day that I stepped into World Revival Church in Kansas City, Missouri.

The people of World Revival Church are stable, never changing, and the atmosphere is continuously charged with a positive influence that drives everyone to pursue God in a stronger way. I was once told never to look up to people because they can fail you, but looking out at the congregation, I see only people with whom I will gladly put my feet in their faith footprints!

Don’t be satisfied or stagnant with mere existence. Develop character, love God and passionately pursue LIFE. Stoke the fire that once burned bright and remember that everyone deserves to experience the presence of God!

Come visit us at Word Revival church. You can experience the presence of God like I have! You will never be the same again.
