A Word from THE WORD
Good Morning Happy Church,
Today is Monday, April 4th 2016. Today is the 95th Day of 2016.
There are only 271 days left in this year; and, there are only 5 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 NINTH thing that happens when God revives HIS people is the salvation of unsaved people.
“And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”
I certainly agree that technically speaking, “Revival” is for believers, not unbelievers.
BUT, it is clear in this passage and in all of our Christian experience that when the people of God are refreshed and renewed unsaved family members and friends are impacted by that and God uses this to bring many of faith.
The salvation of the lost is the inescapable consequence of the reviving of the saved.
All of us have family and friends who do not know the LORD as their personal Savior and LORD. All of us who love the LORD desperately want to see them saved. One of the best ways to see that come to pass is for them to see God moving in our life.
People hunger for a real experience with a real God. When they see HIM at work in the lives of HIS people, they often realize that if HE is at work in them; HE can also work in them.
Don’t miss these opportunities for God to work in your life. Who knows how God may use you in HIS continuing Kingdom work.
REMEMBER: Our Revival Meetings begin in only FIVE days!
FIVE DAYS FROM TODAY – 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!
