We sometimes ask for a new outpouring, for a fresh anointing, an infilling.. again and again. We pray for boldness, red-hot zeal and an open door, Lord.
Yes, I need a refill. Often. Please restore us and bring us back to you again, Lord. Do send a biblical revival and an authentic awakening.
In all your watchin’ of the news lately how much laughter, song and music have you seen and heard? None? I haven't.
A nation can continue in a wrong direction for only so long... until the garland falls so to speak, before the dignity is gone, until the laughter and music ceases. There are consequences to be considered. Now is good to come to.. to come back to the living word of God.
I want to be realistic, not pessimistic. Read Lamentations today. Our time is limited.
The Lord remains the same forever one hundred percent holy, loving and righteous -- talkin' about immutability.
God gives free re-fills, believer. It's time for one.
Listen, we each can be a part of spreading Christ's Message in the power of the Spirit.
Open door? We think new biz deal, a job opp or perhaps a pleasurable vacay only. But when God in the Bible talks about open doors it’s always Always ALWAYS about opportunities for Christians to share the Gospel with lost people. Remember how the Apostle Paul got a closed door and then went to Europe to share God’s Message. Open door. It’s always about what God’s interested in, rather than what we’re selfishly interested in. We are joy-filled, fulfilled and happiest in him and his will for us.
"But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me." ~ Paul, 1 Corinthians 16:8-9
Do you feel like a so called "commoner"? No worries with those feelings. God can open doors and use "ordinary people" to do really extraordinary things! It’s true, He can use you.. and me.. to comfort, to encourage, to edify, to understand, to minister to friends in need. Everyone has some. God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called. Jesus catches his fish and then he cleans em. Then he uses those willing to be a blessing. Some people are part of the Solution here and some part of the problem. We each choose.
