Thank you for listening to this message from Damon Thompson Ministries.

I think that one of the mistakes that we make in revival is we think that the part of it that we have is the most valuable part.

And although the part of it that you have probably requires the most stewardship on your end,

it's ignorant not to think that we need

something manifesting in another place. And so, and I oftentimes have used this analogy over

and over again in revival, but I've often said if I brought a gigantic tray of oranges and I

set them in front of the room, and I pulled out one of the oranges that was the

most mature, beautiful, just a good Florida orange and I held it up to you and I said this is an

orange and then I went back over into the same tray and I found an orange that was much smaller,

less mature and did not have the same luster the larger orange did and I found an orange that was much smaller, less mature, and did not have the same luster

the larger orange did, and I held it up to you. You could not say that the smaller one was not

an orange because it was in a different state of maturity. Why is that relevant? Because it's what we do

in revival. In revival, we look at the big one and say this is it, and we look at the little

one and say it's not. Because we don't really understand seed, time, and harvest. We oftentimes abort

things that are just in a varying degree of maturity. So you say, no, if it had revival,

it has to have this many people. it had revival it would have to have

this feel to it and in essence it has all of the properties of the larger one it's just at a

different state of maturity boy when i when that began to take a real root in my heart as a

revelation it began to then give me permission to say what we've got to do is we've got to celebrate what

God's pouring out regardless of what measure it's being poured out in currently. I believe the

level at which we celebrate what God is doing regardless of the level its own will determine whether

or not it remains at that level. Well, I fill a little something in here tonight, so I'm going to share with you. You can amen back or not, but I'm going to go for it. So I want to celebrate where we are. We could be somewhere tonight easily and have two or three thousand people. We could be somewhere tonight sitting at home around a campfire watching a football game. But I am honored at the degree that the Lord is sending into this company.
