Good morning,
At Hesed Ministries we are calling forth the supernatural in our own
personal lives as well as we come together to worship. We recognize the
need for revival, for many of us have come through a season of tedious
trials. Tedious just means tiresome because of length. So we have asked for a revival in our lives and most of us are experiencing a fresh wind of the Spirit blowing upon us. Revival
is a restoration to use, activity, acceptance, or vigor after a period
of quiet, or obscurity. A time of turning to life and vitality; to
resuscitate; to restore the effectiveness of and from being discouraged,
faint,, or even from death. Does
it sound like something you
need? Last time we talked about this, we understood that in order for
this to happen we had to begin to change our inflection (our cry, our
voice) which comes from a place of being desperate. Desperation
which arise from extreme need or pressure of circumstances; and when we
face the worst with resolution. Resolution which means making a complex
notion into a simpler one; it means reducing formulas. Sometimes
we as Christians make the Word of God too complex for anyone to follow. Quite often we have too many formulas to follow, we have to pray three
times a day, confess two pages of scriptures, memorize half the Old and
New Testament, etc., etc.,. God wants us to be revived! The scripture
says; “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a
scorpion? If
you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:11-13) “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. (Mtt. 7:7) Let's look at another ending of a verse; Romans 4:17... God, who quickens the dead and calls those things which be not as though they were. Quicken
means to make alive, to revive; to cause to burn more brightly or more
intensely; to hasten and accelerate; to kindle the renewal of life. Are
you ready to accelerate? I am,
and I want to burn and shine more brightly. So we must declare and
decree that and we can begin to partake of that in our lives. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. Remember Job 22:28 We will be revived and quickened once again, it is an ongoing process as we grow from glory to glory.
"Oh, that You would rend the heavens and that You would come down, that the mountains might quake and
flow down at Your presence— As when fire kindles the brushwood and the
fire causes the waters to boil—to make Your name known to Your
adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence! When You
did terrible things which we did not expect, You came down; the
mountains quaked at Your presence.For from of old no one has heard nor
perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who works and shows Himself active on behalf of him who [earnestly] waits for Him." ( Is. 64:1-4) As an African evangelist once said we need a PHD, which means Praying Heaven Down! The King James version says, "what he hath prepared for him that waiteth on him." Prepared means fashioned; produces and does; works and acts with effect; appointed and ordained to bring about with signs; arrange things in readiness. See, our Father wants to act with effects and to bring about signs, the supernatural! We have been waiting on Him. Waiting means to long for; to
tarry for and remain in readiness and expectation; to remain hopeful and expectant while looking forward. Let us decree a revival and it shall be established [to rise up, stand up; come on the scene; to become powerful].
Get ready to rise up as the supernatural revival comes on the scene and
you become more powerful as you have been appointed and ordained to be!
Love,
Pastor D.
