A Revival Of R'S

This past week the Lord had me in the midst of Revival that began on Sunday night and has lasted throughout the entire week. Eachday He quickened to me a word that began with the letter R. The first day was Repentence. Jesus while on this earth preached repentence and the Kingdom of God. The word RE-PENT is a mixture of the prefix re which means to return and the suffix PENT that means highest position. When Adam & Eve were in the garden they walked with God in the coolness of the day in perfect fellowship with the Father. However when sin entered in and closeness was broken and immediately they hid from God. God killed an animal covering them in the skin. This was the first shadowing of the blood sacrifice. Atonement is an old testement word that meant to cover, we under the New Covenant are not covered but cleansed completely from all unrighteousness. Once we repent and ask to be cleansed by his blood we return to the highest position with him! Repentence can come to a nation, when the people that are called by his name humble themselves pray seek and turn from their wicked ways(aka repent) He promises to do three things HEAR, ANSWER, & HEAL!(2 Chron 7:14) Repentence came to Ninevah, after Jonah Gods preacher got there preaching the power of the word. The next word was Renewal. The only way that renewal can come into our lives is by us being tranformed by the renewing of our mind(Rom 12:2) Right thinking leads to right believing thus producing right living. Tuesdays word was Reinforcement. We must re establish our purpose for being on this earth. In my life the two primmary purposes for me sucking air on this planet is intercession & exaltation. God has founded each of us before the foundations of the world(Eph 1:4) There is a divine plan & purpose for each of us. We must find it and walk ye in it by reinforcing it to ourselves each day without fear or favor, with great intensity and zero apology! Yestedays word was Resilience. A great picture of this is found in Davids mighty man named Eleazar. He fought so resiliently that the sword cleaved to his hand(2 Sam 23:10) Jesus speaks to this when he says He that puts their hand to the plough and looks back is unfit for the kingdom(Luke 9:62) There are lazorbeams that cut through solid steel! God is looking for lazerbeam christians in the name of Jesus! We must adopt the attitude of the three Hebrews, we WILL NOT BEND, BOW, OR BURN! My friend thats RESILIENCE! Todays word is Rememberence. God after blessing the children of Israel would say Remember after you have been filled with plenty that you FORGET NOT the Lord your God that brought you out from the land of bondage. Psalm 77:11 says Surely I will remember thy works of old. When people in the old testement would get into situations that in the natural looked insurmountable, they would simply lift up their eyes to the hills and bring back to rememberence the wonderous works of his past delivering power. He is the same Yesterday, Today & Forever!(Heb 13:8) Allow these spirit inspired words that begin with the letter R bring revival to your lives in the name of Jesus!
