A NEW BEGINNING IN HIS POWER FOR HIS GLORY

Revival is a spiritual reawakening in the life of a believer of our love for God, His holiness, a passion for His Word SO THAT WE search the scriptures for his way and his will, a convicting awareness of personal sin, (1 John 1:5-10) humility, and a desire for repentance and growth in righteousness.

1 John 1:
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

1 John 2:
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

THE HOLY SPIRIT FILLS US AGAIN AFTER SINS FORGIVEN

Revival deepens a believer's faith, opening our eyes to His truths in a new way. It involves a distinct experience of new fillings of the Holy Spirit and a life lived in obedience to God. Revival breaks sins bind in us by our confessions and the seductions of the lost world, and restores greater determination in Holy Spirit power to live in the world but not of the world.

It is initiated by a prompting of the Holy Spirit, creating an awareness of something missing or wrong in our life that can only be righted by God. In turn, we respond from the heart, acknowledging our need. Then, in a powerful way, the Holy Spirit draws back the veil the world has cast over the truth, allowing us to experience anew God's majesty and holiness. Revival brings great humility, great awe of God and His truly amazing grace (Isaiah 6:5). Revival represents a restoration of fellowship with God, though we walked backwards, in sin not confessed, for a time. Rev.2:4-5;10-11, 14-16

Revelation 2:
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will *remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.(*loss of ministry)
(His saints have His blood tipped ear! Saved BY HIS SHED BLOOD)
7 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh (if we are HIS we will overcome through Him by the Holy Spirit in us) shall not be hurt of the second death.

The evidence of revival, a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon believers, is changed lives. Great movements toward righteousness, evangelism, and social justice occur. Believers are once again spending time in prayer and reading and obeying God’s Word. Believers begin to powerfully use their spiritual gifts. There is confession of sin and repentance.

WORLD EVENTS - END TIMES PROPHECY

Babylon Bible Prophecy...

GOD IS REAL AND MANY SCOFFERS LAUGH AND RIDICULE US BUT...I have a few questions for you.  There is no doubt that Jesus walked on this earth and even mockers say He was a very good man.  Of course, that is true.  Yet they deny His divinity.  They say the Bible is a myth but admit that Jesus, Caesar, Pontious Pilate, Solomon, Daniel, David, etc. existed.  Jesus Christ fulfilled 300 plus prophecies regarding His birth.  To fulfill just 8 is astronomically impossible yet He fulfilled them all.  What was foretold He would endure, came true.  End times prophecy are occurring before our eyes.  This book is over 6,000 years old and is still the best selling book of all time.  It's not taught as mythology.  The Jews are the most hated race in the world, next is Christians.  So, if the Bible is the myth you claim it to be, why are all eyes on Israel today?  Just wondering!

THE GREAT COMMISSION OF JESUS CHRIST

THE GREAT COMMISSION OF JESUS CHRIST

The command of our Lord remains –

Matt. 28:
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

The characteristics of a disciple may be simply stated as:

• one who is assured of his salvation John 3:16 and is serving in the fullness of the indwelling Holy Spirit;

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:26-27

• one who is growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior.

" But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2 Pet.3:18; and

• one who shares Christ’s burden for the lost souls of men and women. Jesus said,

“ Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest." Mt.9:37-38 (See also: Mt. 20:1; Jn.4:35; Mk.16:15; Lk.10:2)

Paul describes the reality of taking up one’s cross and following the Lord:

" I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." Gal.2:20

Jesus speaks:

" Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." John 14:12-13

BEFORE THE WORLD WAS MADE BY ABALONEKID

AbaloneKid originally shared:

 

FROM BEFORE THE WORLD WAS MADE

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love"(Eph. 1:4).

I give thanks to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ , praying for all of you daily, that your faith be strengthened in these times of ever increasing apostasy and grave error.

What a Savior we have in Jesus. Through him "once saved always saved" is a God enforced truth. We believe the beautiful gospel. So many of us have walked the path of doubt as to our salvation after conduct unbecoming a saint. And because of a lack of bible study, or the failure of good counsel, we have found ourselves between a rock and hard place.

1 John 5:

"11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." 2 Timothy 2:19

"Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ..." 1 Pet. 1:2

"Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will" Eph.1:5

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Rom.8:29-30

We need to know that we have been chosen in Him in order to stand for God today. This assurance will make a world of difference in our life.

The elect are the whosoever will and the non-elect are the whosoever wont according to His purpose.

Predestination means that when God saves you He will see you through to the end.

This is all about our sanctification, our spiritual development. It is the work of God in the heart and life of the believer.

We need to know that we have been chosen in Him in order to stand for God today. This assurance will make a world of difference in our life.

1 Cor.1:8

" 8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."

The point is that God has ordained to redeem a remnant of humanity to salvation. These elect individuals were chosen before the creation of the world, and their salvation is complete in Christ. As Paul says, “For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified” (Romans 8:29-30).

SORROW

AbaloneWorld originally shared:

SORROW

"In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul. Psalm 138:3

At some time in life all of us feel the loneliness of sorrow. Mary and Martha were saddened by the death of their brother, Lazarus, and Martha said to Jesus, "If you had been here, my brother would not have died."

Theirs was a loneliness of sorrow.  The shortest verse in the Bible tells us that at the tomb of Lazarus "Jesus wept."

He enters into our sorrows. When we come to Jesus Christ, He does not promise to exempt us from trouble or sorrow.  Tears will come, but deep inside there will be a joy that is difficult to explain to you.

It is a joy from God--produced by the Holy Spirit. In the midst of trials and agony and tears which come to us all, a supernatural power is given out, producing joy.

" ASCENDED! ABSENT FROM THE BODY - PRESENT WITH THE LORD! WORD OF TRUTH LIGHTHOUSE

Many years ago I came across a short Bible study that was written with verses in 2nd. Corinthians 4:16 thru 5:8 in mind.  I will give you the verses and then share with you the short study that I recently found again in an old Bible that I had gotten out to use.  The study was tucked within the pages and as I read it again, the reasons for my keeping it became apparent.

2nd. Corinthians 4:16 thru 5:8   " Therefore we do not lose heart.  Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction,  which is but for a moment,   is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,  while we do not look at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen.  For the things which are seen are temporary but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For we know that if our earthly house (physical body), this tent,  is destroyed, we have a building from GOD,  a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.  For in this we groan,  earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation (new heavenly body) which is from Heaven,  if indeed, having been clothed,  we shall not be found naked.

For we who are in this tent groan being burdened not because we want to be unclothed,  but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. Now HE WHO has prepared us for this very thing is GOD,  WHO also has given us the SPIRIT as a guarantee.  

Therefore,  we are always confident,  knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the LORD. For we walk by faith NOT by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the LORD. "     2nd. Corinthians 4:16 - 5:8 NKJV
