A short YouTube monologue (by Rylee Meek) about answering God’s call and being ready for a possible 2025 revival. The speaker contrasts the popular excitement of being ‘called’ with the biblical reality that divine commissioning (e.g., Isaiah, the disciples) often involves hardship, rejection, and sacrifice, and signals the talk will draw on Chronicles to explore what revival readiness entails.
We all want our number to get called by Jesus. Right. We all want to. If any of us are on the sideline, we all want to be ready. We all want to be ready to get into game. But oftentimes when God called somebody or commissioned them, it wasn't for something so glorious or so prosperous. It was usually entailed something that would possibly cost them their life, which it did for a lot of the disciples. Isaiah, when he was commissioned, it was God flat out told him, because he said, well, you know, Isaiah, he asked like, okay, what is it now? Here I am. I'm gonna go, but what is it? And how. How long is it going to be? And he said God basically told him, yeah, you're gonna preach this message to a lot of folks who don't want to hear it. They're going to reject you. You're going to be an outcast, and it's going to take many, many years of frustration and really despair before they actually get it. Yeah. It's like, oh, okay, would we be so quick to say, here I am, Lord, use me. Because it's exciting to think about. And I think we're in a season just in culture, in not just America, but the world in 2025, where there is revival there. There are a lot of folks who, even within the church, they were kind of just on the sidelines, just kind of doing church. Now they're fired up, okay, let's get after it. But what does that entail? What does that mean? So we're going to dive into that a bit today. Yeah. And part of this, I think, from our perspective, I've been diving into second Chronicles, or just Chronicles is actually both books.
