REVIVE us to REJOICE

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

We thank the Lord for the family of God! What an encouragement to know that we stand together in Christ for the glory His name! We are living in troubled times, and yet we need not be troubled. Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled...You believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also." John 14:1-3.

We must keep our eyes upon Jesus! He alone is the source of everlasting life and true joy unspeakable and full of glory! (1Peter 1:2-9) Our focus must be like that of the prophet Habakkuk. "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither fruit be in the vines. The labor if the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat. The flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls...Yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will joy in the God of my salvation!" ~Habakkuk 3:17-18. The question is, "Am I rejoicing in the God of my salvation?" or "Do I allow the wicked one to steal away the Word of God from my heart? Do I allow the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness or riches to choke the Word?" (Matt.13:18-23)

O that the LORD would revive us by the Word of God day by day! May the LORD revive us to rejoice in the Lord always! May the LORD revive us for His glory! (Psalm 119:24, 85:6, + 143:11) May our hearts cry out like David, "I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart! I will show forth all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You!" ~Psalm 9:1-2.

Please Pray for us as we continue to take the Good News of our risen Savior into the streets of the city. Pray that the LORD would cause His Word to be glorified and bring fruits of repentance, rebirth, and great rejoicing!

Pray for the Church! May our hearts hunger and thirst for righteousness, and for the Word of God! May the Lord keep us from evil and use us to shine the light of Jesus Christ in the midst of the darkness! Pray that the Lord would add to His church those being saved!

In all things May the Lord be glorified!
Keep burning & shining the Light of Truth!
Until we see Jesus! ~ Maranatha!!!
