What would you call the slaughter of 48.5 million innocent babies?
I'm a missionary, freelance writer, web designer, and barista from Level Cross, NC. I'm married with 3 wonderful children (the youngest went to college in the fall!). My hubby and I are ordained ministers & currently informally training to be church planters. I couldn't ask for a better life!
What would a great move of God - an outpouring of the Holy Ghost - signs and wonders and miracles - LOOK like?
Much of what I hear about the revival that’s negative seems to focus on what the revival (and the revivalist) look like. Some folks seem to focus as well on the fact that God just doesn’t DO stuff.
So I’m asking all the folks who are naysaying the revival - what does an outpouring or revival look like? Paint me a picture…
Lately, it’s a mixed bag. This morning, believe it or not, I read on a Christian blog that if a person has a particularly checkered past, they’re really not fit to minister. If they have a particular personality type, they’d best go and be bouncy elsewhere.
Somehow I don’t think Paul or Peter would be elected by the search committee and voted in by the congregation… heck in some of these places I don’t think Jesus would be allowed in.
WAKE UP PEOPLE! IT AIN’T ABOUT YOU BEING COMFORTABLE!
I’m listening to Pastor Strader preach at the revival’s morning service. I just tuned into it because I was on the phone… caught this (paraphrasing)…
There was a time when Joseph was three days (three hours, three minutes) away from the palace, and he didn’t know it. He could have despaired. A lot of us do.
Wow.
So, in spite of Dave threatening me with a fire extinguisher, I’m still all lit up for Jesus. It’s actually kind of funny - I thought I was on fire before we left for Florida… but it’s sort of like the difference between a big bonfire and an inferno. Ken’s the same way.
Is the anointing transferable and contagious?
“People ask me, “How come people fall under the power when you pray for them?” … “It’s easy. They can’t stand up.”
