Hi Church,
Praise God for the rain! Everything is looking green again and the dust has been washed away. A sense of refreshing is in the air, thank you Holy Spirit. Visiting Speaker Evangelist Pat Steele was ready to lead us into revival and refreshing last Sunday, with his stirring challenge to lay down our life like a seed into the soil of our world so that we can see a harvest of souls for the kingdom of God. And indeed, a new lady visiting for the first time committed her life to Jesus, received a bible and joined the prophetic class all in the one day. Pat reminded us again of using the hope cards to leave them around shopping centres and car parks and cafes.
Each Hope card has links to a web site with testimonies of salvation and a contact number so people can be connected to a local church. Please feel free to take as many cards as you can distribute. Pat reminded us that the closer we get to Jesus the narrower is the road towards him, so that nothing fits on it but you and Him and everything else just falls away or needs to be left to the side so we can embrace Him fully.
That’s the challenge, for Revival to come there must be a people who are dedicated to Jesus and who will respond in humility like Him, be repentant in our hearts always turning our faces towards Him and then being commissioned to go into all the world for Him and as Him.
1 John 4:17
NKJV 17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
This is the testimony of the Ashbury University Revival in the USA that went for 14 days straight in February 2023 with around the clock, praise and worship and prayer. What started on one campus has now spread to hundreds of others across USA. Now according to Pat there are student youth outbreaks of awakening and revival across Australia as well. What can we say but more Lord! Do it again.
Believing with You Church and as Pat said “Just Sow it!”
