Realities of Experiencing GOD

8/6/2015

1. God is always at work around you.
2. God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.
3. God invites you to become involved with Him in His work.
4. God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes and His ways.
5. God’s invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.
6. You must make major adjustments in your life to join God in what He is doing.
7. You come to know God by experience as you obey Him and He accomplishes His work through you

Some thoughts to consider as we approach the Experiencing GOD Together study:

Do you believe that GOD is always at work around you? If so, think about what you see GOD doing...

How would you describe your answer: Is it personal life support (as any person who is alive and fairly healthy would ascribe)? Is it personal spirituality (Worship, blessings, as any spiritually minded person might claim)? What is GOD doing, that can only be ascribed to Him?

Think about specifics, what do you see GOD doing around you, that only He can do?

Are we comfortable with what we are doing with and for GOD?
What can He do through us if we are surrendered and obedient to Him?
If we are not surrendered and obedient to Him and His Word, why not?
What is in the way of our being meet for the Masters use?

There are no answers from us today, as we prepare our hearts for our Experiencing GOD Together weekend and study, only thoughts. But the Bible does have answers, and we encourage you to get deeper into GOD's Word, and in communication with Him to find them.
But if you don't know GOD, and can't answer these questions because you have never put your faith in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, we encourage you to seek Him and His great Salvation that you might be born again and have new life in Him. Then you can hear from Him and His Word, and know not only eternal life, but forgiveness and reconciliation with GOD through repentance from your sins and faith in Christ.

A meditation for Revival

7/30/2015

0 Comments

The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them. (Psa 145:17-19)

Why does revival tarry for GOD's Church? Think on these things:
Why is it that GOD is with us and within us, yet so many of us live our lives with little awareness of His presence?
If an unbeliever were to ask you, "what's it like to be filled with, or lead or guided by, the Holy Spirit?", what would you tell them?
Do you really want to have a daily dependence upon Him? Or are you simply looking for instant help from the immediate problem of the day?
Do you wish to partake in a rich and full relationship with the King of all kings? Or are you concerned that He might interfere with the way you want to run your life?

Only when we finally come to a sincere desire for Him, as Psalm 145 indicated, will we discover what He has wanted us to have all along. And we can only receive that which He has for us if we know Him, and have His great Salvation, by faith in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary.

Be Attitudes for Revival

3/30/2014

Conclusions from this week's revival meetings:

The meetings may be over, however, the revival can continue if GOD's people do the things that GOD requires for revival.

For GOD's revival to come to GOD's Church, GOD's people must be in Christ, seeking His face and living in and through Him.
His children must be repentant, acknowledging our sIn as an offense to our Holy GOD.
We must be continually filled, not drunk and out of control, but controlled by the Holy Spirit.
We must be broken before the Throne of GOD, useful for the Master.
We must be obedient to GOD and His Word, to do all that GOD has commanded.

Then He will revive His people, so we can be on mission for Him, to minister to the hurting, disciple one another, and share His message of Hope to this lost and dying world.

If you don't know Him and have a saving relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ, we invite you to surrender to Him on His terms and be born again. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Believe His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary is sufficient for your sIn and receive Him by faith and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Trust Him for forgiveness and Salvation today.

In Christ,

Revive us again

9/24/2013

Revival. A series of meetings scheduled on the calendar, or an interaction with the Living GOD who restores, rejuvenates, and renews those that repent? It would seem to be a rhetorical question to a Christian, but, how many times have we gone to a series of meetings and left the same way we came? How many emotional experiences have we had, but no lasting heart change?

If we are not looking for revival, but simply attending the meeting the church has scheduled, will GOD meet us and truly make a difference to us? Trusting GOD means surrendering to Him on His terms and then observing to do all that He commands. When we repent, we turn from our sIn, and turn to a Holy and Righteous GOD who has the right to expect our obedience. Trust and Obey, for there's no other way. Daily and continually, those of us who are called by His Name must submit to His authority, take up our cross, and follow Him. Our position in Christ is one of a new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting.

REVIVAL is coming, it is scheduled on the calendar. You don't have to wait until Sunday to return to GOD, nor should it end on Weds. Pray for revival in yourself and our community, then prepare yourself for what GOD is going to do. Expect it. Believe it. Experience it and rejoice in His Salvation.

Revival. Sunday Sep 29 through Oct 2 at 6 PM.
Guest speaker: Dr. Richard Elligson of Baptist College of Florida.
