Hallelujah! Jesus is Alive! This is the GOOD NEWS! "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures!" (1.Cor.15:3-4) The Risen Christ is the Solid Rock of our salvation!! REMEMBER..."if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is empty...And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile! You are still in your sins...If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable:( But now CHRIST IS RISEN from the dead!" (V.14-20) "Death is swallowed up in victory! O Death where is your sting? O grave where is your victory? The sting of death is sin, the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!" (v.54-57) HALLELUJAH:)!! This is the Gospel!! This is the Good News! This is "the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes!" (Rom.1:16) This is the Gospel by which we are saved! This is the Gospel in which we stand!! (1.Cor.15:1-2) This is truly Good News of Great Joy ~ Jesus our Savior ~ Christ the Lord!! (Luke 2:10-11) "Sing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart O daughter of Jerusalem! The LORD has taken away your judgments!" (Zeph.3:14-15) "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him!" (2.Cor.5:21) "Thank you Lord for saving my soul! Thank you Lord for making me whole! Thank you Lord for giving to me, Thy great salvation so rich and free!!" HALLELUJAH!!! Never lose the wonder of it all!!!
What a JOY! This past week we had two sisters in Christ with us who came from Oregon to spread the Good News in New York! They flew all night, and hit the ground running. The Lord gave us great weather, so the children were out in the parks. We took the Good News into the parks, and saw open hearts to the message of Christ! Ten children gave there lives to Christ! Praise the LORD!! We also took the Good News to the streets and into the subway. Two boys gave their life to Christ on the street! It was awesome to see the Lord drawing these lives to Himself! Pray that the Lord will continue to draw them and raise them up for the glory of His name!
PRAY that the LORD would move upon the hearts of those who are hearing the Word of God on the streets. Pray that the Holy Spirit will convict hearts of there need of the Savior. Pray for brokenness over sin, + godly sorrow working repentance! May the Lord turn hearts from darkness to light!
PRAISE THE LORD! Recently we had the joy of being with the First Baptist Church of Shermon, New York for their missions conference. What an encouragement to see God's people with a heart for missions!! They blessed us with a quilt made by two of the sisters in the church. Every piece of cloth chosen and stitched together to make one beautiful blanket! What a picture of the church! Called and Chosen! "You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light!" (1.Peter 2:9)
PRAY FOR THE CHURCH! We must redeem the time for the days are evil! We must be sober and watchful in our prayers! The Apostle Paul said, "Now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand, therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts!" (Rom.13:11-14) "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light!!" (Eph.5:14, Matt.5:14-16) May the Church RISE and SHINE!
Thank you for standing together with us in prayer! Please keep us in prayer! We can do nothing in our strength. Pray that the Lord would fill us with His wisdom and His leading. Pray for boldness a strength to proclaim the Good News of His salvation from day to day! Pray for Revolution Church. May Christ be formed in our hearts! Pray that the Lord would raise up leaders full of faith and full of the Holy Spirit! Pray that the Lord would continue to send laborers into the harvest fields! Pray for souls to be saved!! Pray that Christ be glorified!!
We thank the Lord for you!
"Be strong in Grace that is in Christ Jesus!" 2.Tim.2:1
