At the time of this writing, (after day three), we have had an awesome Revival and Soul Saving Campaign. What a move of God we have experienced. The Lord has used Elder Whitaker in an indescribable way. Praise God for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. He created an atmosphere of sheer joy and adoration. To God be the glory for all He has done. More on the Revival next week.
Let me pose a question to you. What is your response to the Word when it is preached like it has been during the Revival? Are you: (1) like the people of Berea, who received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures day after day to ensure they were hearing the truth? It is this Pastor’s prayer that, that is where you are dear members.
However, there are: (2) people like the Jews of Thessalonica who believed not, and moved with envy because of the large number of people (including some Jews, many God-fearing Gentiles, and many prominent women) who responded to Paul’s preaching. How sad! Salvation so near, yet so far away. A Godly life available, however, one must choose to receive it. “And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment” (1 John 3:23).
Please hear this dear ones, FAITH COMES BY HEARING, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).
Dear Lord, thank you for the efficacy, and the veracity of your word. Let the revival continue.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
