A Word from THE WORD
Good Morning Happy Church,
Today is Thursday, March 31st 2016. Today is the 91st Day of 2016.
There are only 275 days left in this year; and, there are only 9 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 sixth thing that happens when God revives HIS people is sacrificial living.
This is not a model for “communal” living. They were under sever persecution and they were about to be driven from Jerusalem. God led them to sell what they had which enabled them to survive the dispersion they suffered within months of these events.
But, in spite of the fact that we do not need to sell everything we have, we do need to be willing to sacrifice what we have for the LORD’s work and for HIS people when HE leads us to do so.
This is, of course, what a family does for one another. And God’s church is HIS Faith Family on earth.
Sacrificial love for one another is a result of genuine love and genuine love is rekindled by God’s Spirit when HE is not merely present in a believer but when HE is preeminent in the believer.
As amazing as this seems, this can be the normal life of a Spirit-filled, refreshed and revived Christian.
Revival can happen.
REMEMBER: Our Revival Meetings begin in only NINE 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!
