Revive us Lord

Greetings:
The Church is being called to prayer and revival.
Our moral rights continue to be chipped away in our courts and legislatures. Crime and drug abuse are still plaguing our land. War and hate are rampant around the globe.
Locally, I ask you to join me and other believers at the upcoming "Cry Out America" program on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. in the Linton City Park.
We will pause and pray for our nation, our state, our leaders, our military, our first responders, our pastors and our residents.
God make The Word come alive to each of us.
Let us long for God and yearn to be his hands, feet and voice in each of our communities.
Let us never get enough of God and fill the pews of our churches. Let us be free, joyous and unbridled by tradition when we have the opportunity to praise and worship.
Let us be transformed by the Holy Spirit to be more than just good people. Let us be among God's army who are willing to proclaim the Good News to all the earth.
Oh, God help us to fan the flames of revival within each one of us. Let our churches be alive an free from the restraints of religion and man-made rules. Instead, let us follow God's inspired Word.
We get good instruction about revival in 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 (Amplified Bible), which reads:
“If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, (crave, and require of necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer offered in this place.”
Revival is a time of cleansing, awakening, repentance, commitment, personal searching and joy. We should be glad and thankful that God revives us, charges us, inspires us.
In revival, Christians have their faith renewed and become more equipped to serve their communities in the works of God – saving souls, feeding the hungry, clothing those in need, and caring for those who are hurting.
Be blessed.

Pray with expectancy
