Pastors Notes
I WANT A MOVE OF GOD!!!! That was the focus of our special prayer time on Sunday night, A move of God. Exactly what is a move of God? Its probably easier to go backward and look at how God moved in the past. But what exactly is the move of God going to be like tomorrow? Im not sure I fully understand what that move will be like BUT I WANT TO BE PART OF IT!!!!! Monday night during the closing minutes of prayer, there was a burst of Gods presence and there was evident sounds of a move of God. I was facing the baptistery when I began to hear the people respond to Gods presence. I went to turn, but the Lord would not let me. He instructed me to LISTEN. As I intently listened to what was going on, the Lord said the sound you hear is the sound of revival. What was I hearing? 1) people being obedient in following the leading of the Holy Ghost to minister to one another 2) praying in the Spirit (I truly believe the move of God will bring a resurgence of the Holy Ghost) 3) uninhibited outward expressions of praise & worship to God After I was able to turn around, I saw some things. 1) I saw people that acknowledged the presence of the Lord 2) I saw people standing in His presence (they were not asked to stand, encouraged to stand.they were simply, on their own, stood in the Lords presence) 3) Unified in purpose - it seemed to me that everyone was unified in their praise to God and in their responding to Him by standing. Ive made up my mind that Im an available vessel for the Lord to use. I want revival and the move of God to start with me. Then Im available to the Lord for Him to use me in any way He sees fit. Part of this process is to PRAY & FAST. We know very well 2 Chron. 7:14.. If my people which are called my name will humble themselves and pray Please press in the area of prayer during this time and pray for revival and the move of God. Please prayerfully consider joining us for our 40 days of fasting. I know its not easy and its not what our flesh wants, but Jesus said this kind goeth not out but by prayer AND fasting. Im HUNGRY for a move of God and Im willing to be hungry in my flesh so that I can be fed by the presence of the Lord. CAN I GET AN AMEN??????
