2.3 Who Was Franklin Small?
-
Franklin Small was focused on Jesus, and in spite of his strong opinions God used him mightily. For me, I firstly want to stay focused on the heart of God. I can easily become sidelined on issues that are important to me, and I don’t want to centre my faith on a secondary issue. But, if/when I fail in this, I love that God still used Franklin to impact so many. Holy Spirit works in us and through us, in spite of us! Lord- help me stay focused on Jesus first! Secondly I’m impacted by the reminder that everything starts with seeking Jesus through prayer. I realize that we should always know this, but sometimes I can start praying to seek a result. We don’t pray in order to get a revival. We pray to get more of Jesus, and revival just happened. I need to pray to seek more of Jesus, and leave the results to Him.

@Jenn thanks for such a great answer that inspires faith and encourages us to move forward.
It reminds me of this quote: “To know the limbs and leaps of history is hardly worth a cent….The only thing which counts is that you become more certain of your God as you contemplate the past, and that you then show more courage in face of present needs!” Zwingli

Through the storms of life he has molded me to carry the ‘hope’ of walking with Christ. And when I lay down my burdens and rest with him – I grow and learn so I can carry that hope to the next generation.

That Franklin Small was a man who was guided by the Holy Spirit and revival followed as he obeys the word of the Lord

That’s true Curtis, but how about in your life? How do you see God working in the past events of your life?
