Hello, thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15.

As I have been stating, I'm coming to the end of a long, very demanding travel schedule.

This is the final week of the stretch, and I'll be on the road this entire week.

To help me out, I've asked some of our favorite giving 15 guests to write

posts. They are outstanding. Today's and tomorrow's posts by revivalist Larry Sparks are inspirational

exhortations on, you guessed it, revival.

Today's title is, will you make room?

Larry Sparks here, always a joy to be hosting Give Him 15 for our friend Dutch Sheets.

Special entry today in preparation for Advent and Christmas.

It's called Will You Make Room?

Let every heart prepare him room.

Christmas.

I love this time of year. While I thoroughly enjoy the festive decorations,

mass quantities of sweet treats, and the overtly Christ honoring carols that are blaring over speakers

and shopping malls and coffee shops, there is a profound revelation captured in the

Christmas story about how we can welcome and in fact receive more of the move of God in our

lives, churches, and nation. So prepare for an unusual Christmas perspective because you're getting it from a

revivalist. A verse in the Christmas story that challenges me even to this day is Luke 2,

verse 7. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a

manger because there was no place for them

in the end emphasis on that last part i want to highlight that last phrase there is no place for them

in the end and we'll come back to that but right now prophetically i am convinced we are living in the days of Ezekiel 47, which describes the river of God.
