There's Gonna Be Revival in The Land!

Better yet, we are ALREADY having revival in the land! Wowsers! We are having one of the best revivals at our church I think we've ever had! Every year, from the first part of January, to around that last part of February, we have an Evangelist come and preach revival for us. And it's always so good. But this year- for reasons God only knows, it didn't work out for us to have one. So, what we've had is different preachers come in at times and preach for us instead. It's so amazing how God works things out! The preaching, to me, has been different than any we've had in revivals past. Oh, it's revival preaching, but it seems like it's been more directed at the saints then usual. But hey, what better way to bring in the sinners then when that saints get stirred up, cleaned up, and prayed up?! I've been loving it!

Last night, there was really no preaching to speak of. The preachers wife sang an good old song (she tore it up, I mean!) and the power of God came in like a hurricane. The spirit of travail moved all over the building. The preacher told us that the Spirit of deliverance was in the house and that God wanted to deliver folks from the things that had them bound...some for years and years. So many people went to the alter. And I believe many people's lives were changed forever. I know I was moved in a very special way and I'm claiming my liberty! Fear and doubt get out! Faith and Trust are here to stay!

At the end of the alter service, the Elder read from Isaiah 61:1-3. It stirred up my faith even more, and helped banish my fears. I can't wait to see what God is going to do in the service tonight!

 Isaiah 61:1-3
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Amen!
