The Price of Revival 1

Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Throughout the Bible we find that revival never came to a nation or an individual until they were broken. When a person is broken and contrite they are deeply conscious of the majesty of God. It is important to accept His sovereignty. He is God, we are not. He is the creator and we are the creation. He is right and if we are in contradiction to Him, we are wrong.

Many today are openly embracing lifestyles that the Bible, God's word says are sinful yet they want to enjoy the fellowship of the church and claim the blessings of God. It doesn't matter how popular or culturally accepted a practice is, that doesn't change what God's word says about it.

To try and mold God's attitude toward sin to conform to mans attitude is idolatry. We are trying to re-create the Creator in our image. There is no record of God reviving a nation that refused to turn from idolatry back to the True and living God. We must believe that He is God and that He is right.

He Fixes Broken Lives 3

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

There are many today who are captive and don't really realize it. You can he captive to your fears. You can be captive to your sinful habits. You can be captive to your pride or insecurities or many other things.

If there is something in your life holding you back from fulfilling God's purpose then you need to let Jesus fix it. It is God's desire for you to live a full and fruitful life. you can only do this by trusting Jesus to Save you, keep you, and guide you.

Give Him all the pieces of your life. " Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

He Fixes Broken Lives 2

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

There are many today wish broken hearts. Sometimes we try so hard to succeed that when we fall short we wind up with a broken heart. We need to give all the pieces to Jesus, he can heal us.

Sometimes there is lowliness that is so overwhelming that it breaks our heart. There is the teenager who feels he has no friends or the adult who feels forgotten. There can even be loneliness due to spousal neglect. These feelings can be devastating. You can even feel loneliness in a room full of people.

Can you imagine the loneliness Jesus felt on the cross? He knows how you feel and he has promised, "I will never leave thee, or forsake thee". Give your lankiness to Jesus and He will be your friend.

I like the wise saying, "If it ain't broke don't fix it." The problem is that there are many people with broken lives and they are looking to everyone else but the right one to fix them. Jesus is the mender of broken lives if we will just give Him the pieces.

No is poorer than those who are spiritually bankrupt. They seem to he trying to fill the empty void with everything but the one who can truly satisfy them. You may ask sometimes how people can let things like alcohol, drugs and sex ruin their lives. I doubt that any of them start out with their own destruction in mind. They have a void, an empty space they are trying to fill and all the other things just make the emptiness grow until it finally consumes them.

If your life is truly broken, give all the pieces to Jesus. He can fix it.

Thoughts To Ponder 4

ALL WE CAN DO IS LIVE OUR LIFE WHILE WE CAN

Psalms 90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

I have always loved this verse and it is one that I have used many times at funerals, We truly are writing a story as we line our live. Most of our life stories contain all the elements of a blockbuster movie or a best selling novel.

There are chapters of joy and of sadness. There are tales of victory and defeat. Humor and sometimes tragedy are intricately woven through the tale that is told. Hopefully it is a lone story to be cherished by all those you have loved. There are many other themes to numerous to mention but remember. you are the author. of is you who writes the true story of your life. Make it a good one.

There's one thing we can be positive about.
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the EVERLASTING ARMS: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

Thoughts To Ponder 3

THERE IS ONE THING WE CAN ALL BE SURE OF

(Heb 9:27) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Many times I have heard of someone receiving news from a doctor that they had a terminal illness. People begin to say " he, or she, is dying." The truth is that the moment are born we are on the path toward certain death. We never have a guarantee in this life. We are guaranteed of judgment though.
The saved will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ to be judged for their rewards. The lost will stand before the White Throne Judgment with no hope or help. That is determined by whether you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior or reject him. It is your decision and if you meet that appointment with death before you choose Him it will be too late. There's one thing we can be positive about.Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the EVERLASTING ARMS: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

Thoughts To Ponder 2

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS WE CAN NOT BE SURE OF 2

James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

We can not know the personal victories that we will win in our lives anymore than we can foresee the defeats. One thing is certain and that is that we will have some of each. If we walk closely with Jesus the victories will outweigh the defeats and even in defeat we will eventually emerge as victorious.
We can not know in advance of the opportunities or obstacles that will stand in our way. We can only prepare ourselves to be ready for whatever might present itself.
It is even hard sometimes to understand the full impact of the opportunities that we have missed. All we really have to work with is today. That is why it is so important to make the most out of it.
There's one thing we can be positive about.Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the EVERLASTING ARMS: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
