"Turn Us Again!"







"Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy
 face to shine; and we shall be saved."
(Psalm 80:19)




"Turn us" is the cry of Revival!  Turn the hearts of Your people, Your Church, back to You, Oh Lord.  "Unite us in Your love, in Your fire, in Your power, in Your purpose  ... and forgive us, Lord, for not being more devoted to You, more drawn to Your Will for planet earth, regarding the 'Acts' of Your Church."  We need to be in one mind and one accord, moving in one step, to empower the body of Christ in the earth today.  Nothing is impossible to those who are ONE in Jesus Christ!  If the Church could march as ONE, we could reach the entire world with the gospel of Jesus Christ; we would be moving as an unstoppable force in the earth, and it's time for just such a move.  God is waiting on us!  We are His hands and His feet; we are His voice and His called and chosen to do His bidding in a lost and dying world.
  

"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst
 after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
(Matthew 5:6)

It all comes down to "hunger." Is God's Church hungry enough?  Do God's people have what it takes to pull down the power needed for this hour?  Are we becoming people "after God's own heart?"  It's called Hunger.  Are we as hungry for righteousness, as we should be?  That's what REVIVAL does  ...  it puts people on their faces; it calls out the Sin, so it can be offered in repentance; it moves in waves of sorrow, humility and contriteness; it points the created "dust" to its Creator; it opens the puss pockets of iniquity!  REVIVAL!  It's a down on your face, tears for a lost world, cry for UNITY, plea for healing of our land, reaching for the One who reaches for us  ...  kind of thing.
     


The Lover of our souls will gladly rain down His love, rain down His glory, rain down His forgiveness   ...  if we just ask Him.  And, it's a glorious rain!  He fills, thrills, and seals us with the Holy Ghost and fire.  Once in a powerful service in Church, I felt literal rain on my face; I had my eyes closed as I was worshiping in the Spirit, so I opened them to look at the ceiling, because I thought we had a roof leak!  I reached up to touch my face and wipe away the water, but it was dry!  It felt like RAIN, and it was RAIN, the RAIN of the Holy Ghost, the RAIN of wonder, the RAIN of power from portals of Glory!  It's REAL  ...  and YOU can have it!  It's the Spirit of Almighty God dwelling in a human being; it's unspeakable and full of glory; it's the joy that comes in the morning; it's the refreshing for a lost and weary soul; it's nothing like you've ever known or even experienced in your life!  Once you receive the Holy Ghost, you can experience it over and over, day after day, and it's the reason you can smile in the storm, be calm in the midst of terror, have peace with War all around, love when there's no reason to love  ...  It is JESUS CHRIST in YOU!




It's the hottest thing going right now.  What?  The Holy Ghost and fire!  Over 580 million people worldwide have received the Holy Ghost and spoken in tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.  What about the Church?  That's where REVIVAL comes in; we know the Lord Jesus Christ, or we think we do, but we're stuck in this Age called Laodicea.  It's the luke warm Church Age.  But, God said that we should be hot or cold; if we're luke warm, He will spew us out of His mouth.  It's time for God's mighty Church to be on fire, AWAKE, REVIVED, RENEWED, and marching like a well trained army.  Everything starts with His Church and it moves outward; judgment starts at the house of God and moves outward; Spirit starts in the Church and moves outward  ...  It's time for the fires of REVIVAL!




It's time to reach for God like we never have before; throw caution aside and become "hungry;" set aside the inhibitions and worship like nobody's looking; dance in the Spirit like we're the only ones in the room; shout for joy like there's never going to be a tomorrow; reach for Him like a panting deer; run to Him like it's the last lap before the ticker tape  ...  and It is!  REVIVAL knows no holding back; it runs  wide open, full throttle, get in or get out, shout it or shut up  ...  it's a fiery madhouse of wild worship for the One who was ripped to the bone, bled and died like a criminal, was nailed like flesh was a construction plank  ...  and He did it for You and me, for a lost world, for creation formed from His own hand  ...  REVIVAL!

"Purity"


"Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life."
(Proverbs 4:23)

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, says the
Word of Luke 6:45 to all who will humbly hear
And the heart is desperately wicked, who can know it, was the  
 Word from Jeremiah, which makes it very clear
We have a responsibility to guard our hearts, and keep them
holy and pure before the Almighty Lord our God
It must be holy and clean as we hide the Word there, keeping it
from the forces of evil and from being flawed
The heart of love is kind, suffers long, speaks no evil, and is the
image of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord
It touches the untouchable, loves the unlovable, reaches the
unreachable; it's the Master's written chord
It's what binds us together and keeps us whole, as couples and as
families in this world and this thing called life
The hearts full of love, and filled with the Lord's Spirit are more
apt to live in peace, and without fury and strife
The heart that's a flame on fire from above, is the heart that seeks
truth in God and the auspices of His Holy Word
It's a heart that can be molded by the One who creates, and it's a
heart that can be moved on, and continually stirred
Play it like a harp, O Lord; and let it sing Your song, for it's 
 in Your hand, as strings of lilting lovely music
Let it be ever in Your grasp, as Your love to the world, so make it
like You, Lord, renew, remake, and infuse it
Trust is the love word that fills our hearts, like the three Hebrew
children, walking with You in the fiery flames
It's all in the heart, the home of our devotion to our Lord; the
 fire that burns, from the power of Your Name
O, the light that emits from our hearts, when once we belong to
Jesus Christ, and of His salvation we partook
We weep with Him over His lost world, and over those who have
turned their backs, and His love they forsook
He's the Lion and the Lamb, come to bring strong love and tender
mercies, of His everlasting love and grace
To a fallen world, searching for peace, freedom from Sin, and to
lay their weary heads in a soft angelic place
Heaven is the glory and the Eden, where we were meant to dwell
in the beginning, with innocence and security
So, we would be very wise to make sure that holiness, love, and
forgiveness, always flow from a heart of "Purity."

"Prayers of the Saints"







"And another angel came and stood at the altar, having 
a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, 
that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon 
the golden altar which was before the throne."
(Revelation 8:3)





They are not just words uttered into nothingness; they are not just the murmurs of one in dire need; they're not just statements sent forth into space with no return  ...  No, no; they are POWER uttered from lips of those who know where those heartfelt pleas are going.  In fact, they're so important to God that He keeps them along with the tears; He bottles them up!  "Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?"  (Psalm 56:8)  Prayers are extremely important to God  ...  "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."  (James 5:16) 

"And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;
 and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."
(James 5:15) 

Don't underestimate what happens when you pray!  We can go all around the world on our knees; we loose angels and cast down demons; we dispatch and unlatch; we meet and defeat; we climb and we soar; we launch into the deep and we leave the devil in a heap; we fly above the snake line and we can SEE for miles; we step into realms of glory and move in auras of power; we hi-five with angels and war with devils; we venture into grass huts with kneeling pleading missionaries; we enter palaces and confront dictators; we subdue governments and uplift crying Nations; we reach into hearts and bring clarity to minds; we are the MOST powerful in our lives when we're on our knees  ...  Ah, prayer!  It's the greatest adventure of your life  ...  if you do it right  ...

Depiction of Jesus Christ praying in the Garden
before the Cross

The God of eternity, who became flesh and dwelt among us, our Lord Jesus Christ, knows about prayer.  He prayed so intensely in the garden that he sweat drops of blood!  It has been scientifically proven that this is possible.  Prayer changes things, changes circumstances, changes hearts, changes minds, changes  ...  "us!"  We must be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance, because sometimes "we" don't know what to pray, but the Spirit makes intercession for us.  Paul said he prayed in tongues (or in the Spirit) and he also prayed in his own native language; he sang in tongues and he sang in his native language.  Ah, it's a beautiful thing, indeed, to spend time praying in the Spirit; it is refreshing, and when you pray in tongues, you are speaking His language and you are speaking directly to God.



People pray, each in their own way, and "the right way" is meant to say that it must be done from a repentant, honest, and sincere heart.  God is no respecter of persons; all who come to Him, honestly, He receives!  And, the most powerful of all is the UNITY of the body of Christ, His Church, all praying all over the world  ...  it will shake the very foundations of earth!  It's our Holy connection, "dust" rising in the winds to meet the Creator!  God said it, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."  (2 Chronicles 7:14)  We're there now!  What?  We have come to the time of "if my people ... will ... pray..."  The world is a mess, a terror-ridden mass of hate, a series of governments run amok, a scared generation looking for some leader somewhere to lead righteously, a Church feeling the pounding of Revelation's hooves and the hearing of a distant trumpet, a Bride preparing her wedding garments and oiling her lamps, a Harvest looming before Laodicean reapers, a readying for the antichrist who is lurking in the wings  ...  It's time to PRAY, and ACT, and REAP, and GO into all the world  ... on our knees, and every other way we can get there!  AMEN!



The Prayers of the Saints!  Nothing happens without the Saints' prayers  ...  Nothing!  Something has to be sent up, for something to come down.  As my wise and wonderful Pastor Phillips says, "Without God; we can do nothing, and without us, God will do nothing!"  Pray on Saints, fight on Saints, war on Saints  ...  we're on the Home stretch now; the clock is ticking down; the horses are pawing the ground and preparing to ride; the Angels are readying their vials and seals; the code "666" is on the soon horizon; the world is seeking a leader to bring peace, but he will bring War; the Angels of God are antsy; the praying saints are feeling the pressure and leaving is on their minds; the heavens are restless and war is raging in the second heaven; the Holy Bridegroom is losing patience  ...  we are "Between His face and His fury;"  PRAY!  

"UNITY"

What's holding up everything?  The Saints of Almighty God!  Huh?  If people think it's bad now; wait until the Saints are gone!  We, the praying, soul-winning, worshiping, standing, warring, believing Saints of Almighty God, are holding back the final terror, the Tribulation period and the antichrist.  " For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way."  (2 Thessalonians 2:7)  When the Rapture takes place, and all the Saints of God, are taken out of the way  ...  terror will occur such as no one has ever seen.  What must we do?  Get right!  Repent, be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance; be baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and live right, stay right, witness to everyone we see;  look up, and PRAY with the pure heart and innocence of a little child  ...  because our redemption draweth nigh!
