Do we want revival?
Do we really want revival in our cities? Sometimes I wonder if we just say we want revival just because we know that's what we are supposed to want and say. I mean, what would most of us do if suddenly 200 people got saved in one day and a couple of bars closed down. What would we do? What would we do if suddenly 500 people repented and a few adult stores closed as well as a few new age guru organizations? What would we do?
I wonder if we are equipped to handle such an outbreak.
I wonder if we would say, " Praise the Lord, thank you for coming to our church, see you on Wednesday." It is important that we get ready so that when revival does hit, we are ready.
If revival hit today, would our churches be able to disciple the new converts. I'm not talking about recycled Christians from other churches, I'm talking about new born again believers who may or may not have gone to church before. This is my idea of revival.
Revival not recycle, we don't need to recycle anymore Christians. We don't need anymore old wineskins coming to our churches from other churches. We are not running buffet ministries, eat a little here and eat a little there.
Look saints, we need to get ourselves ready for the harvest, we need to get prepared. It is time because the question stands. What will you do when revival hits, are you ready?

A New Hunger
I really believe that this is the very hour for a new hunger. A new hunger for God. A new hunger for the plans and purpose for God. A new hunger to play a part in souls getting saved. This is the hour for a new hunger.
Someone may be thinking that they want a new hunger but don't know how to go about getting one. The first step I would say is just having the desire for a new hunger. If the desire is not there, you may as well go play golf. Sounds silly, but it's not. So many people want to do things for God, if you will. They start out and quickly fade out. Jesus talks about this in the parables of the seed. He also talks about the person who desires to build will first count the cost. If the desire is not there, then ask God to place it in your heart. Like the man said, "Help my unbelief."
Once you have a desire then put some fuel on it. Read the word, then read some more. Oh yea, don't forget to read the word. Why so much word? The reason is that faith comes by hearing the word. If you can read the word and get it settled in your heart you will see the difference in your life. You will soon find that you have a hunger building up in you. Once you are at this stage, take a step.
Take a step and launch out. What good is there to have powerful rocket boosters if the rocket is not going to launch? Launch out and begin to tell people what you have learned. I did not say start a bible college, I said share with someone what you have learned. This is the part that most people leave out. We tend to have a hunger for God and the things of God as well as are deep into the word daily. However, that seems as far as it goes. Many Christians never take the step to launch out and put all that they have learned to action.
If we want to be complete we have got to begin to take action on what we learn. Faith without works is dead. So let's have an alive, thriving faith, by putting works behind what we believe. And guess what, God will give us the desires of our heart. He will then satisfy our hunger by revealing Himself like never before. This is the Hour for a new hunger.

You Got the Power!
If you have been in the kingdom any time I am sure you have heard about having power. How many messages have you heard on power? In this hour of my life I would say it is time to stop hearing about power and begin to walk in it. It is time to begin to put our power where our mouth is, so to speak. The kingdom of God is power. We should be walking in a flow so overwhelming that it can't be contained. It is time the Church of the living God rise up from the lions den and begin to roar once again.
Seems as for a while the church lost her roar not to mention her bite. We have gotten so comfortable in our heated and air conditioned buildings that we have forgotten to go outside. The time is now, the lost are outside the church building doors. Who is going to strap on their sword of the spirit and go snatch these lost ones out of the devils hands.
"Henry, you are too radical. You should chill out a bit." This is what some are saying I'm sure. That's the problem, we have chilled so much we are in a deep freeze when it comes to outreach to the lost. We need to get on our faces, cry out to God and wait for God to thaw out our cold, hard, selfish hearts. It will be then and only then will we really begin to celebrate new souls coming into the kingdom, and not be satisfied with believers from other churches joining our congregations.

Great Outpouring on the Way
Just wanted to touch base and encourage all the saints that I believe there is going to be a move of God that will be the greatest outpouring the Church has ever known. There is going to be people saved you would have never dreamed of. Those the church may have written off will be coming to Jesus Christ in record numbers. Those who come will not be idle, they will be on fire with a zeal for the kingdom like never before. This move of God will involve young and old alike. Age and gender will be no factor as God pours out his spirit during this move. There will be Senior citizens with an energy likened to Caleb who was in his eighties and was zealous enough to go take a mountain as his inheritance. The young will be like David and young Samuels who in their youth served God with strong courageous faith. Like Esther they will rise up to go into the the four corners of the earth saying, " if I perish I perish." These on fire chosen ones will be as Job and Paul who if they have to lose to gain Christ they are willing to let everything go. These have the reasoning that they came into this world naked and naked they are prepared to leave. Those in this outpouring are as Solomon with wisdom and are about the building of the Church, the body of Christ. Asking God and receiving all they need to be successful and prosperous in their ministry of reconciliation.
I am so excited about this great move of God and all the enthusiastic fire that will burn in the hearts of many. Even as God is shaking that which can be shaken that the kingdom will still stand, which is our inheritance. Heaven and earth as we know it is passing away and God is revealing to us the new thing that He is doing.
Let's be open and ready for what God wants to do. Open your hearts, pray for the fire and the flood of the Spirit of God to flow freely in your local congregation. Worship the Lord with a sincere heart and desire for souls to come streaming into the kingdom to worship the King of Kings. Go ye therefore and begin to testify what the Lord has done in your life. Share with others both saved and unsaved the great awesome things the Lord has done in your life as well as what you have heard that He has done in another person's life. Then trust God to encourage the Christian and save the sinner. Finally, celebrate when a person repents and gives their life to Jesus Christ. Celebrate, make a big deal of it like the angels in heaven do.
Yea, we are going to witness the greatest outpouring the world has ever seen in the history of mankind. Be ready, you reader, are a part of this outpouring. Just receive it right now!!!!

Hold Your Head Up Saints
Hold your head up saints of God. We have the victory! Jesus has already overcome and we are overcomers through his victory. So smile a big smile and don't allow the enemy to get a foothold on your territory. Your territory is your mind. Don't let the enemy influence your mind and you will see manifest in the natural all the Lord our Savior and King has placed in your heart. You are powerful, you are more than what meets the eye. You are greater than the outside of you. You are a conquerer, you are an overcomer you are a king and a priest of the Lord. Believe it, think it and live it. No, you don't have to prove anything to anyone. You are who God says you are. Your identity comes from your heavenly Father who created you, who brought you into this world, He gives you identity. So once again, smile a big smile and don't allow the enemy to get a foothold on your territory.

Praise God for all his goodness! Do you think that we can be a blessing to others as God has been a blessing to us? I am so excited about what the Lord is doing. It is really easy to look around at all the bad and the ugly and forget about the good that is in the world.
I think that the church is beautiful. I like the glow and the shine the Church of Jesus Christ has. A city that is set on a hill. The glorious awesome church. If we have eyes to see and ears to hear, we can begin to see the church, the bride of Christ through the eyes of the spirit.
Let today be a day we see the Church differently. Let's begin to see the world differntly, begin to see God differently. When we chinge our mind, our perspective, we actually change our world.

Hello Luke Fifteen folks. I want to bless you with a blessing of hope and purpose. God has a special word for each of you. He speaks this word directly to you spirit person inside. Never mind the flesh. The flesh must be brought into subjection in order to hear what the Spirit says to you in your spiritual ear.
Just begin to listen, God is going to give strategies for:
1) Ways to Worship and Praise. God is going to infuse in the heart of worshippers a new dynamic of worship that will catapult the church to a high place in praise, thus creating a divine separation between those who serve God and those who don't. In this you will see your enemies scattered.
2) New Business Ideas. God is going to instill in the hearts of those who are business minded new ideas that will be fruitful and bring great prosperity to the church.
3) Relationship Building and Soul Winning. God is soon to implant within the hearts of many this fresh new ways to build relationships and win souls for the kingdom. Hearts will melt like wax and fall in deep love with Jesus Christ. These new converts will go forward with a passion and a burning zeal that will be unprecedented.
Be ready my brothers and sisters in Christ. Do not allow the enemy to side track us from worshipping God with all our hearts. It is in the place of worship, where we will position ourselves for this outpouring that is soon to be.
Place the flesh in subjection, begin to listen for these strategies, then be a doer of what you hear no matter the cost. The last days are very challenging days, but we don't fear because we have the Lord on our side. Faith with works is living faith. We believe and therefore we speak. We will not be silent like the Devil wants us to be. N0! We will shout the message of redemption from the rooftops. We will praise Jesus like the world has never seen nor heard. People will marvel and some will scoff, yet it will be said of us in this day, in this time that we turned the world upside down.
Be blessed as you hear what the Spirit says,
Down for the cause of Christ,
