A Word from THE WORD
Good Morning Happy Church,
Today is Monday, February 1st, 2016. Today is the 32nd Day of 2016.
Today is David Hug’s Birthday and tomorrow will be Floyd Winings’ Birthday!
There are only 334 days left in this year; and, there are only 69 Days Left until Our Spring Revival Begins!
We will begin the Revival Meetings on Saturday, April 9th with a Banquet and Sermon at 6pm.
Sunday, April 10th, we will hear Bro Bobby at 10am and again at 6pm.
Monday and Tuesday, April 11th 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!
Acts 3:19-20a
“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord…”
Devotional Thought for Today… “The Relationship of Repentance to Revival”
I have had a lot to say about revival, and (Lord willing) I will have much more to say in the days and weeks ahead.
BUT, I am certain that I will not say anything more important than this… there is no such thing as revival without repentance!
The classic passage where we began these devotional thoughts about revival (2nd Chronicles 7:14) is built on the premise that “if my people will… then I will…”
In that passage, God commands four things of us and the fourth is, “turn from their wicked ways…” That is, of course, a clear definition of repentance.
If we will repent, HE will send revival!
I know this sounds trite, but, the one thing we most need to repent of is the fact that we will not repent!
Sure, we are sinners and our sins have been forgiven. But, in our day-to-day process of personal sanctification and spiritual growth, repentance is necessary if we are to experience the fullness of God’s Spirit and a real move of God upon our life.
While there are certainly many things of which many of us are guilty, each of us may also have things in our life of which we must repent.
Repentance is the price of revival. If we repent and actually turn from our wicked ways, we may stand on HIS promises and expect HIM to move upon us and our Church in unusual ways.
Will we really have revival?
We will soon see!
Carpe Diem!
