The Confessions Of a Calvinist 2 So you want to be a great preacher Rev Jason Burns

Some of you young pastors and preachers are crying out for God to use you.O some nights you pray with all your heart "Please Lord revive this church."You are sincere.You are the real thing.You really want to see God glorified.But you need to stop praying for revival and count the cost before you start pleading with the Lord.You really have no idea what you are doing.When God uses a preacher he crucifies that preacher.God will not give his glory to another.In you right now is alot of pride.You do not think so.You think you are humble but I tell you your full of pride.Your also full of a double life.You talk about the puritans.You admire Spurgeon,but your living a double life.Secret sin is in your life.So your pride and your sin need to be sorted out.Now as you pray for revival God might take you at your word.When he does he will lead you into a living hell.He will blast your pride into a thousand little pieces untill you cry to him you can't take no more.He will purge out your double life of sin so much you will feel the pain of his fatherly knife.When God as broken you down,he will then with tender love build you up again and use you in the way you have dreamed, in fact it will be more that you ever dreamed.But,think twice before you dream of being a great preacher, because he who becomes great has to learn he is nothing.
