A Word from THE WORD
Good Morning Happy Church,
Today is Tuesday, March 22nd 2016. Today is the 82nd Day of 2016.
On this day in 1758, Rev. Jonathan Edwards, the greatest theologian to ever live and minister on the North American Continent, died of smallpox in Princeton, NJ.
There are only 284 days left in this year; and, there are only 19 Days Left until Our Spring Revival Meetings Begin!
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 are 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!
The effects of being “REVIVED” are exactly the same as being “Vived” (made alive) since the word “re-vive” simply means to “vive again.”
So, if we want to see the anticipated effects of revival, think back at what happened when the Church was new and fresh and fully alive in the Spirit…
Acts 2:42-47
42 “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.
44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common.
45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,
47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”
The first thing that happens when God revives HIS people is that HE renews their PASSION FOR HIS WORD:
“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching…”
Remember that believers constantly battle our old habits and desires as we seek to allow God to change our life. A key area in that battle is our desperate need to be nourished and strengthened by the intake of the WORD.
All of our enemies, (the world the flesh and the devil) stand against every effort we make to feed on God’s Word. Notice that when these 3,000 were first saved the first thing said of them was “they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching.”
All of our answers lie within the pages of Holy Scripture. All of them. All of our spiritual needs are met there.
I know, I battle this all of the time.
It is no coincidence that the means by which God draws HIS people back to HIS Word is by exposure to HIS Word.
The PRIMARY PURPOSE of hearing five sermons over four days is simply TO BE SATURATED in HIS Word.
Saturated.
No one can guarantee that attending these meetings will bring genuine revival into your walk with Jesus; but, anyone knows that if you do not attend these meetings there is NO POSSIBILITY of God using them to bring you into a deeper walk with HIS Son.
Zero.
It is clear to me that it is God’s usual “modus operandi” to work mightily in and though Bobby Boyles. My prayer is, “LORD, do it again.”
The table will be seat; a Bible feast will be prepared; so I quote Jesus… “Come and dine.”
REMEMBER: Our Revival Meetings begin in only nineteen days!
Get ready now… set aside the time now… Start praying now… DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY to experience a great moving of God!
Revival CAN happen, it really CAN happen!
Will we really have revival?
Will you?
Carpe Diem!
