Am lookin’ at “a mighty rushing wind” today. Not from weak wind turbines.
In Acts two -- reading about that true story once again. What was that? A free restorative gift.
My former So Cal pastor friend today said, “Revival is a community saturated with God.”
We can’t organize revival though some churches and church folk will again try to, we can agonize so to speak in intercession.
Yes, we can earnestly pray for this. You know that to revive something means to bring it back to life again. We could just as easily use the word "restoration" in its place. To restore something is to return it to its original state. God is still giving His power today. Be continually filled with the Spirit. Command from God.
This restoration starts with you and me humbly praying in faith ..to God. In Jesus Name. Yes God, please do revive us again.
“Will you not revive us again.?” Psalm 85:6a
"Restore us, O Lord God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved!" Psalm 80:19
Lord, we want You most and we want a real revival.
What is that? It’s not a religious thing though some religious people also talk about it, and it doesn’t have to be an emotional thing at all. Lights on, lights off, God can pour out His Spirit.
One author wrote that revival is "an extraordinary movement of the Holy Spirit, producing extraordinary results." Another said, "Revival is a community saturated with God." And A. W. Tozer defined revival as "that which changes the moral climate of a community." When we pray for a revival, we are praying for a restoration.
In Psalm 85 we find this prayer for revival: "Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?" (verse 6).
A revival is an invasion from heaven. It is when God is at work and we can't explain it. That is what I want to see again-a time in which Christians are saying, "We don't know how this started or entirely what is going on. All we know is that people are packing out our churches. People are coming to Christ. People are praying."
We need Jesus Christ (a right relationship with God through His Son). We need an authentic revival, a biblical spiritual awakening from Him and the world really needs His Gospel. Like never before. Politics can’s solve our problems here. Fish4Souls.org
Lord, please make haste today. Pour out all You can pour out here. Our time is limited. Please intervene and revive Your people as we rejoice in and worship You? We worship You. Please use us to go fish for the souls of lost people! Let it rain again! We want a gully washer.
It's not really the day to become timid, weary in the good, silent, afraid or overly shy, Buckeroo.
Remember well, live spiritually well. If France would have been strong and in the mood.. or had gotten stronger and in the mood to invade Germany back in 1939.. those twisted "woke leaders" in the north wouldn't have even tried to take over the whole world again.
We need to be or get in the mood.. to fight the good fight of faith and resist the evil in our Lands. Yes, to take a firm stand for truth and all that would hurt, hinder or kill our citizens. “Love..always protects” See 1 Cor. 13.
Revive us, wake us up, Holy Spirit.
Yeah, it’s a bit too early to quit, feel sorry for ourselves, and give up fighting against the evil tide. Stay focused on Christ. Pray and do what ya can do. No excuses. As the Apostle Paul wrote...
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.." Galatians 6:9
“It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites.” ― Thomas Sowell
Here’s “a historical perspective for ya: Back in May 1940, the political and military situation in Europe was catastrophic. Seven years earlier, Adolf Hitler had gained absolute power in Germany and immediately set about rearming his bellicose nation. On September 1, 1939, he invaded Poland and then turned his fury on the nations of Western Europe. Hitler's "Lightning War" rumbled almost unopposed through Norway, Denmark, Holland, Luxembourg and Belgium. The French Army, which most military experts believed would hold its own against Germany, was humiliated in only 40 days. Nearly 500,000 British and French troops were trapped in a tiny coastal enclave called Dunkirk, where they faced certain annihilation. Hitler's armored divisions, commanded by Generals Heinz Guderian and Karl von Rundstedt, were only 15 miles away, while Hermann Goering's air force (the Luftwaffe), bombed and strafed the hapless armies below. Arguably, this was one of the most tragic moments in world history.It is difficult to comprehend the panic that gripped peace-loving nations at that time, especially Britain. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain (who resigned in disgrace in early May, 1940, and was replaced by Winston Churchill) and other political leaders were staggered by the realization that this German madman, Adolf Hitler, and his henchmen had not only enslaved and dominated most of Europe in less than a year, but that they would be next. The Fuhrer was never closer to his ultimate victory than during those five days, May 24-28, 1940.
The loss of the British and French armies at Dunkirk would have left them naked in response to the anticipated Nazi invasion of England.” ~ James C. Dobson, Ph.D
The Bible commands us all, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Ephesians 5:14 esv (blog)
