"Coming to Jesus" is a phrase too loosely used nowadays. "Coming to Jesus" would be the result of the work of the Holy Spirit convincing a person of sin and that person experiencing deep repentance over his/her sin and turning to Jesus. It is not in the first place a "cure" for evil, or a "DIY" for a happy life with peace. The problem is that this attitude reflects again "me...me...me". This is contrary to the Christian walk, where it is first Jesus, and others (Mat 22:37 And Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind."
Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
Mat 22:39 And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Lev. 19:18
Mat 22:40 On these two commandments all the Law and the Prophets hang.
That becoming a real Christian will in fact change behaviour is a fact. In this regard it was fascinating to read of the Welsh revival "
On November 7th, 1904 Moraih Chapel was filled to capacity for a prayer meeting that lasted until 3:00 a.m. Soul winning spread through the coalmines. Profane swearing stopped. Even the miners' horses were puzzled when their masters stopped cursing.
Read on Evan Roberts.
What is also fantastic is that the Lord used young men and woman to lead the revival, not the older folks who were supposed to be "more mature". I found this little chappie on the web.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZTgitubfiM.
