Revival and success
So i just got back from preaching a revival this week and many people have asked me, "How did it go?" I know the question is asked with the purest of intentions and interest, but how do you respond to that? No one was converted that i know of; there was no move of mass repentance; in fact, there was barely any movement at all! But does that mean the revival was unsuccessful? I don't think so (and i say that not just for my own sake and pride). So what are some responses that you would give?

God moves in mysterious ways :)
haha - j/k
i'd probably say "it went great - we can trust that whenever the Word goes out that it does not return void - pray as the Lord works in the hearts and lives of those people."
or i'd say something like "i'm incredible...of course it went great - why would you even ask me such a ridiculous question"
;)
i'd agree with shelly - i'd say that we were amazing...and the conversions will come rolling in...
i listened to a great message from C.J. Mehaney about how to measure the fruitfulness of a conference or sermon. he says you never measure the effectiveness AT the event. fruit always shows up later.
Mark 4. Luke 8.
praise God that he's using you to speak!
