A Word from THE WORD
Good Morning Happy Church,
Today is Monday, March 28th 2016. Today is the 88th Day of 2016.
There are only 278 days left in this year; and, there are only 12 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 third thing that happens when God revives HIS people is that HE renews their PASSION for Worship:
“and the Breaking of Bread…”
We have in this passage a clear and beautiful picture of the worship of the early Church.
Just over seven weeks before, Jesus had transitioned their traditional service of “Passover” into a new aspect of worship that we call “The LORD’s Supper.”
We see these believers practicing this sweet time of communion with the LORD and each other in their homes as part of their worship.
Don’t miss the clear implication of this – as God’s people are renewed, or revived, we will have a fresh passion to worship the LORD and to worship the LORD together.
This series of “Revival Meetings” will hopefully be much more than just an exercise in spiritual discipline (as important as that is) I am praying that these meetings will provide us genuine opportunities for worship.
REMEMBER: Our Revival Meetings begin in only TWELVE 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!
