With each passing day, we’re moving closer and closer to some just gave them a personal invitation.
nal invitation. I DARE YOU to approach your F.R.E.E.D. 12 STEP ADDICTION GROUP will meet
important things. First of all, we’re moving closer to the end of our 40
day fasting period. I’m not saying that because I’m thinking so much
about what I’ll get to start eating or drinking again, but because I know
that it moves me closer to the “afterward”. We’ve been praying and
fasting for your sons & daughters to come home, for your financial
blessing, for the healing of relationships…..and most
importantly……REVIVAL!!!!! That marks the 2 nd thing we are moving
closer towards. We’re moving closer to the beginning of our Revival
services, but more importantly…towards revival itself.
What a message Pastor Shealy brought to us concerning revival. For
revival to come, we’ve got to get it together. We can’t allow carnality to
prevail. We must take charge of that area in our lives and wake up to the
things of God. We must be hungry for God and for His presence.
I’M HUNGRY!!!!!!!
Just two more Sunday nights left with Pastor Shealy bringing the Word
of God to us. Please, Please, PLEASE…. Don’t let anything keep you
from being here! Many of God’s people have been in the altars and
moving towards getting themselves right with God. Revival starts in
individuals. Are you available for God to begin revival in you?
Don’t forget to pray for Neal Nolan and the churches to which he is
ministering. The Lord impressed upon me that for us to only focus on
ourselves in prayer for revival was selfish. He has other churches and
people that are in desperate need of revival. For us to experience the
kind of revival we need, it is imperative that we include others in that
same prayer. For Bro. Nolan to be anointed when he comes to
Woodruff, we need to pray that he is anointed mightily and heavily at
the churches he is at before he gets to Woodruff. So please pray for him.
If you are excited about your church….. if you are excited about the
Lord….. PLEASE TELL SOMEBODY!!!! I’m at the State Prayer
Conference as I write these remarks. I’ve heard Pastor’s today telling
others about their dissatisfaction with their church or church situations.
I heard Pastor’s talking about their church being down or their tithes
being down. I refrained from saying a lot because I didn’t want to sound
like I was bragging….. BUT I LOVE MY CHURCH!!!! God is good to
our church!!!!! I don’t know why anybody wouldn’t want to be part of
our church!!!! The truth is they might would consider it if somebody
friends and just ask them to come to church with you. The Lord is
bringing new people to our church every week and that number can be
drastically increased if we would just TELL SOMEBODY!!!! Use
every available means possible! Personal contact, make a phone call,
write a card or letter, send them a text message, put it on your Face Book
wall, write a Tweet on Twitter…… do something……TELL
SOMEBODY!!!! Can I count on you to tell somebody this week?
There will be a meeting on Thursday evening at 6:00 PM in the CLC
Dining room of all people who work in the altars or feel like they are
called to work in the altars. This meeting is important. We want to
effectively minister to the people that are in the altars. We are preparing
ourselves for what God is doing now in our altars, but also beginning to
prepare for what God IS GOING TO DO in the future in our altars. I’m
looking forward to what REVIVAL BRINGS!!!!!!!

 A TALE OF TWO PEOPLE
By: Michael Osborne
This is the tale of two people
With very different lives
One has no faith
But the other has Christ
Now both suffer burdens
And great trials you see
While one will succumb
The other succeeds
Both have lost loved ones
Share the grief that remains
But one holds to God’s promise
The other…..just pain
One finds their strength
And their hope through God’s love
While the other is still broken
And can’t rise above
One walks in darkness
The other in light
One’s future is cloudy
The other is bright
Now they’re not really different
It’s just the choice that they choose
Now which one of these people
Best reflects you
For in life we face trials
That we can’t overcome
But you only find peace
If you trust in God’s Son
So don’t walk in darkness
For your future is bright
If you’ll be that one person
Who accepts Jesus Christ
Amen
“Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding
the promise of God; but was strengthened in his faith
and gave glory to the Lord, being fully persuaded
that God had power to do what He promised”
Romans 4:20-21
