A Word from THE WORD
Good Morning Happy Church,
Today is Friday, April 1st 2016. Today is the 92nd Day of 2016.
TODAY IS CORY & LESLIE SCHULTZ’s ANNIVERSARY
There are only 274 days left in this year; and, there are only 8 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 SEVENTH thing that happens when God revives HIS people is that God is praised.
For those of us who love the LORD will all of our heart, mind, strength, and soul, there is nothing we desire more than to see God glorified in our life, our family, and our Church.
When these newly “vived” believers in Jerusalem were being transformed by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT living within them, God was glorified both among them and among outsiders who witnessed what was going on in their lives.
I believe the exact same thing will be true of newly “revived” believers. I know that a sense of refreshing and renewal in our lives will bring a new sense of the glory of God to us. That renewed sense of the glory of God – in and of itself – will bring a great change in our attitudes, desires, and lifestyle.
God is glorious. HE desires that we demonstrate HIS glory in our life; for our good, and for the good of others who have not yet come to know him.
Revival can happen; it really can happen; BOTH to and for the glory of God.
REMEMBER: Our Revival Meetings begin in only EIGHT days!
ONE WEEK FROM TOMORROW – SATURDAY, APRIL 6TH AT 6PM WE KICK OFF THE MEETINGS WITH “A MEAL AND A MESSAGE”
Revival CAN happen, it really CAN happen!
Will we really have revival?
Will you?
Carpe Diem!
