Thought for the Week

Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.

FROM THE PASTOR'S HEART

Greetings. We had a great service last Sunday. I could powerfully sense the Spirit of God during our worship time and then the extended time of worship at the end of the service was so intimate and refreshing. It was good to see so many people stay for that additional hour of soaking. As I shared on Sunday, we need to keep our eyes upon what God is doing on the earth today and not at what the devil is doing. Revival is happening in places and we are experiencing the beginning of a revival and I want to see that continue and build. The Life Groups have been a big help in connecting us together more and building that spirit of camaraderie. We have seen people touched by the Spirit of God. The worship is much more alive than it has been for years. There is just a hunger being increased in our hearts for more of God. So, let’s keep building on that. Pentecost Sunday is just a week away. Last year on Pentecost Sunday I believe we crossed a line that served as a new beginning for us as a church. And I believe that this Pentecost Sunday will be another acceleration point. In Acts 1, Jesus told the disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. He had been with them for 40 days so that meant that they were in the Upper Room for 10 before Pentecost came. They didn’t just wait with inactivity. They prayed together and worshipped together and fellowshipped together. Today is the 40^th day since Easter Sunday so tomorrow begins that 10 day period of waiting. I have encouraged us to do our own kind of waiting during these 10 days. I am calling a fast. I encouraged you to fast meals or a meal if you are able. But you can also fast things that vie for our attention; such as, TV or the internet or the like. Spend extra time in prayer during these ten days. Increase your expectancy for what God wants to do in this season. I believe that there will be a powerful outpouring on Pentecost Sunday for those of us that are anticipating and expecting. Let’s all press in and then watch what God does in us and through us.

We love being your pastors and experiencing God’s fullness with you. Let’s work together to transform our world.
