" In The Begginning God Created the Heavens and the Earth." Genesis 1:1

 

Hallelujah!

Praise Your Holy Name!

Jehovah

  II Chronicles 7:14

God's Answer

"...if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn away from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

 

Brothers and sisters, these are some areas God is calling us to do. He is waiting for individuals, churches, and nations to acknowledge their utter dependence on Him and His grace.

Whether it's an individual, a church, or a nation, we are nothing apart from our Creator and our created purpose.  

In 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, THEN-

Will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.” (What's the key word? - (THEN)-then is only after confession, and repentance.

Real forgiveness means looking steadily at the sin, the sin that is left over without any excuse after all allowances have been made, and seeing it in all its horror, dirt, meanness and malice, and nevertheless being wholly reconciled to the man who has done it. 

That and only that is forgiveness. Then-we must see that forgiveness is not an emotional thing (though it can affect the emotions), but a matter of the will. The task of forgiving must be more than a match for the magnitude of the pain involved. 

Prayer  -Lord Jesus, You looked into the eyes of those who hammered You to a cross and cried: “Father, forgive them.” Help us to do the same when we are confronted with lesser injury or hurts. Amen

 

Beloved, I ask you all right now to do a special inventory of your heart and soul - What do you see? Is your house cluttered up with prejudice, envy, gossip, unforgiveness, bitterness, strife, rebellion, fornication, adultery, and hatred?  

If there is a yes to anyone of these and to some I did not mention, then it's time - Then, ( there it is again, action word) to repent. You say you want revival-well it has to start with self, now is the time to come to the alter and make your confession and then if you have ought against your brother/sister go to them and ask forgiveness. I can ask you to come down here and pray, but if you do not go to the person or persons and make restitution you are grieving the Holy Spirit. And your prayers will not be heard. Then we can rejoice in the Lord for Then the Father delights in giving His children the petitions you have lifted up to Him. 

O don't you hear Him calling -He is just waiting for your utter dependence on Him and His grace- Then we will receive a fresh touch from God. 

Deception: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth in not in us”. (1 John 1:8) 

Rebellion is deception-We know what to do, but we simply won't do it-The Bible says, Therefore, “to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin”. (James 4:17) 

“He who covers his sins will not prosper; but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy”. (Proverbs 28:13)

 

 

     Stretch Out Your Hand, O God

 

O God, enthroned in heaven, I lift my eyes to You. I look to You, Jehovah, my God, for Your mercy and kindness. Show me where to walk, for my prayer is sincere.

 Lord God of heaven, stretch out Your hand -work with Your Church and myself. Let us see Your power. Empower Your Church to move out and impact this Nation. Baptize us, O God with a fresh outpouring of Your love and of Your Spirit. Help us to love the unlovable.  

Father let us not only hear, but feel, see, and experience Your grace and power. Lord confirm Your message's You give to our pastor's in a supernatural way. O God, split the heavens and come down! Do what only You can do. 

O God, send Your mighty rushing winds and rivers of Your flowing waters in power and might for a powerful Pentecostal revival. I know, I am, hungry to truly know You. Father, tear down all the accumulated junk in our souls. Tear down our man made idols, and our shrines- Tear them down now!  I admit they are wrong and sinful, please forgive us and send a new fresh fire into our souls.

Holy Spirit put a shovel and broom into our hands, to cleanse ourselves of the dirt; of long buried issues in our family and church family -deliver us from gossip, our racial attitudes and criticisms. Lord Your word says, You cannot resist those who humbly and honestly admit how desperately we need You. I humble my-self, Lord and admit and agree with You about my sins and ask Your forgiveness. O revive Your Church O God. Revive us and we will call on Your name. Father give to Your Church the Spirit of the fear of the Lord!

 

God in all His glory speaks: Precious children, if you will seek My face and humble yourselves and come to Me asking for forgiveness, turn away from your wicked ways, You will then see My power in Your midst again. I am Jehovah God a jealous God. I will not share you, precious children, with Satan and the world. O, come to Me and I will give you rest; I will forgive Your sins; I will heal your sick; I will save the lost. Pray Church. Sing the psalms of praise and thanksgiving. Give Me glory and praise. 

 I will lift you to heights you've never known and then when I put you back in the valley I will equip you to do battle. Precious children, I do love you, I gave you My most precious gift, the gift of My Son, that is  how much I love you. Call on Me, I am ever ready to listen. Ready to send My ministering angels to help in your present need. 

Humble yourselves before My Throne, let Me, your God, use you, let Me anoint you for battle. Put on your armor children, time is getting short. I have many lost souls for you to fight for, saturate My Throne Room with your prayers and sweet incense of praise, and then let Me be God! 

You say you want revival, then prove it! Love one another as I've loved you. Forgive one another as I've forgiven you. Do not let that sin of perdition come between us, caste him out, you cannot have one foot in the world and one foot in heaven, That's an insult to Me, I want all of you or nothing. 

Precious children hear My pleas to come back into fellowship and oneness with Me again. It is not Me, that has forsaken you, but you have forsaken Me. My hand is still reaching down if you will only take it and walk with me. 

O, My heart aches for you, how I love you My children, My bride. Get ready, keep your lamps full, look up, I'm coming soon, beloved.  Remember always, I am just a thought or a prayer away. I love you, precious children. I AM that I AM  is waiting for you.    

                                                      Shalom, The Father
