Reverently

Who is the man who reverently fears and worships the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose.  Psalms 25:12-13 AMP

Revival! Spread God’s word. Spread it over your own heart first! Read the Bible. Share God’s word. Be the vessel that the light of Jesus shines through, as the beacon to those lost in darkness. Come together, two, three, 100. There is power in gathering together under the name of Jesus - gathered in the presence of God and the power of Holy Spirit, share the Gospel with the confidence Jesus gives us permission to. 

Inside us there is the same potential of God to do His works and see His Kingdom come here on earth. Revival of belief in the holy trinity, the belief that Jesus is our savior, belief that there is only one true God. 

When church gathers and experiences a Revival time of awakening and refreshing, it has an overflow effect into our homes, workplaces, communities, cities and even nations. Can you see it?! Never underestimate the power in gathering together and how far reaching what we get to achieve together for God’s kingdom.

Amen! Jesus Himself speaks to us ..... 

John 14:12 NASB "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father."

This means we have the capacity as well as the ability to do all exploits in His Name! Can you imagine! YES I can! Thank You Jesus for the fire You are lighting within us 

Now this is another challenge Holy Spirit is calling us to…get up and be the person God meant us to be when He created us. We are not a clone. We are not somebody else, each of us is an individual, a person who is gifted and blessed by God Himself. There are gifts, talents, in every single one of us that have been dormant and need an awakening. Hallelujah!

Today, now, ask God to stir these things in your spirit. Ask God to use you as never before. Become a person who knows who you are and then go out and let His Kingdom come in your midst. Revival. 

God has great plans for you. For the person sitting in front of you, the person beside you. With such assurance in God we have faith and know that we will have a path laid before us for god's glory. 

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Revival, a time of rebirth - immediate comfort that we can expect when we repent and accept Christ as our Saviour. It comes from being in the presence of the Lord; from His Holy Spirit. Our sins are wiped out and we receive a refreshing from the Lord. This is an incredible and incomprehensible exchange for our sin. And thus begins our revival. Reborn. 

…. this of course doesn't mean that we repent once and that sense of refreshing will always be present. No. In our human nature, we want our actions to follow a genuine heart to change but in our own humanity we will fail. So even in the midst of immense revival It is crucial for us to continually turn back to God, remember all that He has done for us, and hold onto the anchor of His hope. 

Oh my friends, let us praise God regardless of how we feel emotionally, by bringing what the book of Hebrews calls a 'sacrifice of praise' 

Hebrews 13:15 NASB "Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name."

Knowing that those who have struck the deepest note of penitence can reach the highest note of praise.

It strikes awe in my heart that God offers the same salvation to all who seek Him and ask. And then that gift of knowing ignites a fire so deep within me that all I can do is run, yell, walk, whisper, share His word, share compassion, joy, peace, share so that others can hear Him share Share word so that they may come to such freedom in Christ as I know. 

It may be that at times revival requires us to be warriors of God in a world that the enemy tries to attack.  Will we as Christians lie down and allow anti-Christ agendas to come in and push Him out of the public square?

Will we stand up to the attacks on God’s people, faith, the attacks on our religious freedom? Will we still rejoice, believe with faith? Will we pray? 

God is watching, And I think the decisions we are making in this time in history are just too vital.

If we are indeed wading into the end times. as God's children, brothers and sisters in Christ, we must fall on our knees, fall on our face and cry out to God. We must reach for those lost who are needing God. 

We need an invasion from heaven where God comes down and heaven invades earth, where Holy Spirit is welcomed and touches people's lives.

This is worship, revival. 

Revival is the moment a person meets Jesus and knowingly believes He is Saviour, God,  a spiritual reawakening from a state of stagnant dormancy in the life of both non-believer and believer. Revival is the resurfacing of a love for God, an appreciation of God's holiness, a passion for His Word and His church, a convicting awareness of personal and corporate sin, a spirit of humility, and a desire for repentance and growth in wisdom. 

Holy Spirit invigorates and deepens reliance on the Lord, grows us in faith, opening our eyes to God’s truth in a fresh, new way with a fresh start, a clean slate, marking a new beginning of a life lived in obedience to God.  Pray, pray pray… sing out loud sing quietly!

It breaks through the muddy charm and power of the world, which blinds our eyes, and generates both the will and power to live in the world but not of the world.

Then, in a powerful way, Holy Spirit draws back the veil the world has cast over the truth, allowing us to fully see God's majesty and holiness. Obviously, comparisons between us as one person and us as a church body feel vague but they bring great humility, great awe of God and His truly amazing grace.

Holy Spirit, calls us to worship God, our magnificent Heavenly Father, He who is 

all that is all that was and all that will be 

The cares and worries of life can beat us down, leaving us emotionally, physically, and spiritually exhausted. Worship with prayer and song lifts us up to new hope and faith, literally revives the breath in us - helps us to find the truth, to rightly discern what values we should hold to when faced with the problem of compromise in the modern world and incorporating worldly values into our belief systems.  Worship helps to resuscitate spiritual life. 

The evidence of revival, a great outpouring of Holy Spirit upon believers, is changed lives. Great movements toward righteousness, evangelism, and social justice occur. Believers are once again spending time in prayer, singing songs of praise, of gratitude, or repentance and reading and obeying God’s Word. We get to to powerfully strengthen His spiritual gifts. Yes Lord, with confession of sin and repentance, we believe Jesus Vhrist is the risen Saviour, conquering death rose again!
