Revival

We are extremely privileged to have Steve Hill with us this Sunday. 

Steve is a "revivalist" in every sense of the word (that I described a couple of blogs ago).  As we speaks, you will sense the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit. 

Just a note:  We are having one service this Sunday, March 24th (10:30 A.M.).  Steve is still struggling with some physical infirmities and can only preach once - and then pray for people.

But what a service it will be!

I would encourage you to arrive early (we are having a prayer meeting at 8:30 A.M. in room 102) and find a seat and spend time in the presence of the Lord.

One of Steve's mentors was Leonard Ravenhill.  Let me give you some of Leonard Ravenhill's thoughts from his book, "Revival God's Way'.

Let his words challenge you today - and encourage you to seek after God.

He writes:

"Why revival - God's Way?  Because we have tried every other way.  Because, instead of healing the cripple at the gate of the church (in the Acts story he was a type of the crippled world), the "Church" is now crippled and asking alms of the world to carry on the Lord's work.  How amazing!

"In God we Trust" may be on our coins, but who does trust Him?  Do the radio and television preachers trust Him for their needs?  If they did they would never drag His  name before a cynical world in their tearful begging sprees.

I am often asked to pray for the healing of the nation.  No!  I am praying for the healing of the Church.  Then the healing of America, Britain (Ravenhill was British) and other nations will follow.  As the Church goes, so goes the world!"

Will you be in prayer this week for Stone Church?  Will you be in prayer with me that we hear a "mighty rushing wind" this Sunday morning, and that many are healed and saved?

God we desire your ministering presence!  Come Holy Spirit!

Send us your glory, God!
