A Word from THE WORD

Good Morning Happy Church,

Today is Saturday, January 30^th, 2016. Today is the 30^th Day of 2016.

There are only 336 days left in this year; and, there are only 71 Days Left until Our Spring Revival Begins!

We will begin the Revival Meetings on Saturday, April 9^th with a Banquet and Sermon at 6pm.

Sunday, April 10^th, we will hear Bro Bobby at 10am and again at 6pm.

Monday and Tuesday, April 11^th and 12, we will hear Bro Bobby at 7pm each night!

Please clear your schedule to attend as many of these meetings as possible. As I often say, “The two things you have to invest to be blessed is your Attendance and your Attention!”

Please be in prayer for Dr. Bobby and Sandra Boyles as they travel here and back. Pray that God will pour out HIS SPIRIT on us as never before!

Pray for the salvation of the lost; repentance and renewal in the life of God’s people; new people to become part of our Church Family; the calling out of ministers and missionaries; a spiritual awakening in our area; and, for Jesus Christ to be glorified in all that we do!

Psalm 85:4-7
⁴ “Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us!
⁵ Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
⁶ Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
⁷ Show us your steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.”

Devotional Thought for Today… “How can I know if I need Revival?”

One of the clearest signs of desperately needing revival is that one loses our joy in knowing, worshiping, and serving Jesus! “that YOUR people may rejoice IN YOU…”

JOY is a spiritual condition rather than an emotional one. “Happiness” is an emotion – based on our “happenstance” (happy circumstance); but, “joy” is a spiritual state!

Joy is the immediate product of revival!

So… here is the test: if knowing, worshiping, and serving Jesus does not produce JOY in you, you need REVIVAL!

Many times, even serious followers of Jesus (including Pastors) can get caught up in the trap of “doing our duty” rather than joyously worshiping and serving HIM!

If God grants us revival during the coming months – and, by the way – HE does not need to wait until Bobby gets here to send it; if HE does send revival you can be sure that you will be in a JOYOUS place filled with JOYOUS people!

It is always right to worship and serve Jesus, whether we sense joy or not. BUT, it is a sure sign of the FRESH moving of the Holy Spirit when our life is filled with joy!

Will we really have revival? We will soon see!

Carpe Diem!
