here are the five Temptations every here are the five Temptations every Church leader should watch out for the Church leader should watch out for the Church leader should watch out for the number one Temptation church leaders number one Temptation church leaders number one Temptation church leaders face is trying to manufacture Revival face is trying to manufacture Revival face is trying to manufacture Revival okay we'll get into jealousy in just a okay we'll get into jealousy in just a okay we'll get into jealousy in just a moment but jealousy has a close moment but jealousy has a close moment but jealousy has a close companion and that is trying to companion and that is trying to companion and that is trying to manufacture something that isn't there manufacture something that isn't there manufacture something that isn't there because when you see young adults because when you see young adults because when you see young adults flocking into churches and stadiums it flocking into churches and stadiums it flocking into churches and stadiums it can be easy to try to manufacture it in can be easy to try to manufacture it in can be easy to try to manufacture it in your congregation now that can range your congregation now that can range your congregation now that can range from putting undue pressure on your from putting undue pressure on your from putting undue pressure on your youth or young adult pastors to make it youth or young adult pastors to make it youth or young adult pastors to make it happen in their Ministries or trying to happen in their Ministries or trying to happen in their Ministries or trying to create moments in the service that could create moments in the service that could create moments in the service that could lead to an outpouring of the Holy Spirit lead to an outpouring of the Holy Spirit lead to an outpouring of the Holy Spirit but don't you've kind of manipulated but don't you've kind of manipulated but don't you've kind of manipulated that okay Revival is not something you that okay Revival is not something you that okay Revival is not something you can manipulate or manufacture it really can manipulate or manufacture it really can manipulate or manufacture it really is in its authentic form a move of God is in its authentic form a move of God is in its authentic form a move of God so you can cooperate with it if when it so you can cooperate with it if when it so you can cooperate with it if when it happens but you can't make it happen you happens but you can't make it happen you happens but you can't make it happen you can pray for Revival you can prepare for can pray for Revival you can prepare for can pray for Revival you can prepare for Revival but you can't plan for it to Revival but you can't plan for it to Revival but you can't plan for it to happen like on a Thursday night at 7:00 happen like on a Thursday night at 7:00 happen like on a Thursday night at 7:00 or a Sunday morning at 9 and 11: and as or a Sunday morning at 9 and 11: and as or a Sunday morning at 9 and 11: and as soon as you start trying to manipulate a soon as you start trying to manipulate a soon as you start trying to manipulate a move of God into happening it's no move of God into happening it's no move of God into happening it's no longer a move of God the second longer a move of God the second longer a move of God the second Temptation church leaders face when Temptation church leaders face when Temptation church leaders face when confronted with Revival is bragging confronted with Revival is bragging confronted with Revival is bragging about it when it happens okay emotions about it when it happens okay emotions about it when it happens okay emotions often get exaggerated in leaders at often get exaggerated in leaders at often get exaggerated in leaders at least they do in me I tend to feel you least they do in me I tend to feel you least they do in me I tend to feel you know the real highs and the real lows know the real highs and the real lows know the real highs and the real lows and social media has become a Force and social media has become a Force and social media has become a Force multiplier of human emotion to tell five

pondered them in her heart moments and pondered them in her heart moments and that would do us all good right that's that would do us all good right that's that would do us all good right that's what happens sometimes Mary doesn't get what happens sometimes Mary doesn't get what happens sometimes Mary doesn't get up there when she finds out she's going up there when she finds out she's going up there when she finds out she's going to Bear Jesus and like tells everybody to Bear Jesus and like tells everybody to Bear Jesus and like tells everybody she just kind of goes just going to she just kind of goes just going to she just kind of goes just going to treasure this I'm just going to ponder treasure this I'm just going to ponder treasure this I'm just going to ponder it I'm going to think about what this it I'm going to think about what this it I'm going to think about what this means the number three Revival means the number three Revival means the number three Revival Temptation church leaders face is Temptation church leaders face is Temptation church leaders face is bottling it okay what do I mean by that bottling it okay what do I mean by that bottling it okay what do I mean by that well if a move of God breaks out in your well if a move of God breaks out in your well if a move of God breaks out in your midst it can be tempting to want to midst it can be tempting to want to midst it can be tempting to want to bottle it to to to understand it to say bottle it to to to understand it to say bottle it to to to understand it to say okay here's the formula this is how it okay here's the formula this is how it okay here's the formula this is how it works now there's a part of you that works now there's a part of you that works now there's a part of you that won't want a move of God to end but won't want a move of God to end but won't want a move of God to end but there's also a part of you that will there's also a part of you that will there's also a part of you that will want to figure it out right to analyze want to figure it out right to analyze want to figure it out right to analyze it so that you can recreate it extend it it so that you can recreate it extend it it so that you can recreate it extend it and maybe even export it in other words and maybe even export it in other words and maybe even export it in other words you want to bottle it you know and so you want to bottle it you know and so you want to bottle it you know and so the formula might look like this well the formula might look like this well the formula might look like this well you know what guys if we pray this way you know what guys if we pray this way you know what guys if we pray this way and if we play these songs and if we and if we play these songs and if we and if we play these songs and if we preach a sermon like like this and we preach a sermon like like this and we preach a sermon like like this and we give an invitation like this then we can give an invitation like this then we can give an invitation like this then we can do this again and again and again and do this again and again and again and do this again and again and again and again now again this is nuanced okay it again now again this is nuanced okay it again now again this is nuanced okay it is helpful to understand what's is helpful to understand what's is helpful to understand what's happening and to Steward your leadership happening and to Steward your leadership happening and to Steward your leadership gifts so you are sensitive to the gifts so you are sensitive to the gifts so you are sensitive to the patterns that the Holy Spirit seems to patterns that the Holy Spirit seems to patterns that the Holy Spirit seems to be using in a moment but the moment you be using in a moment but the moment you be using in a moment but the moment you want to bottle it for anything want to bottle it for anything want to bottle it for anything approaching selfish reasons you approaching selfish reasons you approaching selfish reasons you jeopardize the whole thing wanting to jeopardize the whole thing wanting to jeopardize the whole thing wanting to bottle a move of God is the best way to bottle a move of God is the best way to bottle a move of God is the best way to ensure it's no longer a move of God okay ensure it's no longer a move of God okay ensure it's no longer a move of God okay number four the fourth Revival number four the fourth Revival number four the fourth Revival Temptation church leaders face is Temptation church leaders face is Temptation church leaders face is jealousy what happens if you fervently
