GOD'S GLORY: THE KEY TO GLOBAL EVANGELISM ( A CASE STUDY)

God’s Glory: The Key to Global Evangelism

God’s Glory: The Key to Global Evangelism

“THIS GOSPEL SHALL BE PREACHED IN THE WHOLE WORLD”

In a season of contending for Revival, we have seen momentous occasions like the gathering at AzusaNow. Many of you may be wondering Where do we go from here? I believe all the prophetic signposts in this historic season point in one direction: We are to go after the Billion-Soul Harvest.
If we want to see the fruition of these amazing prophetic words, we must realize that the key to global evangelism is the Glory of God.
Recently, at AzusaNow and at Harvest Rock Church, I felt prophetic confirmation in my spirit that Psalm 24 is a key passage for the Body of Christ at this time. The part of this psalm that I want to highlight is the declaration that our God is the King of Glory:
Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.” – Psalm 24:7
It is the King of Glory who wants to invade your home, your city and your nation. He wants to bring His glory—the tangible, manifest presence of God—to your sphere of influence so that nothing can remain the same.

GOD’S GLORY AND GLOBAL SALVATION

Resounding throughout Scripture is the prophetic promise that the glory of God is destined to flood the whole earth.
The prophet Isaiah declares that when God’s glory is released, it will trigger a harvest of souls:
Arise, shine; for your Light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you… The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” – Isa. 60:1-3
In the many Revivals throughout Church history, each has a clear link to an outpouring of God’s tangible, manifest presence. Here are just three highlights:
  • The Great Awakening (1738) — Godly men like George Whitefield and John Wesley took to open air preaching in Bristol. Some gatherings consisted of 30,000 people as the masses were awakened and converted to Christ.
  • The Second Great Awakening (1790s-1850s) – On one occasion, Charles Finney simply walked through a factory in Rochester, NY, and conviction suddenly fell upon the people in the factory—to the extent that they all stopped working and had a worship service instead! The majority of the city would end up getting saved.
  • Azusa Street (1906) – As a result of this outpouring, the fires of the Holy Spirit have spread all over the globe. Out of the 1 billion evangelicals in the world today, 800 million of them would be considered Pentecostals or Charismatic.

 Take this fire with you

If you have given your life to Jesus Christ, the good news I have for you today is that Jesus, the King of Glory, lives within you! 
D.L. Moody said:
The world has yet to see what God will do… through a man totally consecrated to Him.”
And I completely agree with him. I believe that one person full of the Holy Spirit can shift the atmosphere and bring about historic revival.

Much Love,

THE IMPORTANCE OF NAAMAN'S BATH IN RIVER JORDAN-

Today's Scripture 2 Kings 5:9–14 (NIV) Insight The Jordan River, where Naaman was told to “wash [himself] seven times” ( 2 Kings 5:10 ), was the primary source of water in the ancient Near East and is the most well-known river in the Bible. The melting snow of Mt. Hermon in the north is the main water source for the river that winds for 156 miles through the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea and has no outlet.  Joshua 3  records the parting of the waters of the Jordan so the Israelites could enter the land of Promise. Twice the waters of the river were parted in  2 Kings 2  when they were struck with the cloak of Elijah (vv. 8, 14). In the New Testament, John the Baptist baptized believers in Jesus and even Christ Himself in the Jordan ( Matthew 3:6 ,  13–17 ). SOURCE: OUR DAILY BREAD WHY DID NAAMAN HAD  TO DIP 7 TIMES It was probably a humbling act for a great commander, but  Naaman dipped  himself  seven times  ...

Understanding Psalm 23: The Table, the Oil, and God’s Faithfulness

Understanding Psalm 23: The Table, the Oil, and God’s Faithfulness Steppes of Faith Jun 24, 2018  · 6 min  “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.”  Psalm 23:5  NKJ All through this study of Psalm 23, we’ve seen how the Lord is our good Shepherd, our Protector, our daily Provider, our Peace and Rest, and our Guide through every circumstance. We know about God’s faithfulness, that He leads us through dark valleys while watching over us with His rod and staff. All of that is amazing enough to prompt us to praise Him, but we may wonder what happens  after  we pass through the valley? What does the Lord do then? Thankfully, the Lord is not content to leave us alone. In the last part of this Bible study,  Understanding Psalm 23 , let’s look at the rest of the chapter (verses five through eight) and discover what more the Lord does to bless us ...

THE ROLE OF FASTING AND PRAYERS IN CHRISTIAN LIFE--C.S LEWIS INSTITUTE

  THE PLACE OF FASTING IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE By Thomas A. Tarrants on June 6, 2018   Knowing and Doing ,  Knowing & Doing 2018 Summer ,  Thomas A. Tarrants 00:16 21:50 Download or Listen to Audio The Placing of Fasting in the Christian Life Judging from recent research and anecdotal evidence, it appears that very few professing Christians in America think fasting has a place in the Christian life. Available evidence shows that we much prefer feasting! Yet from the earliest days of the church, fasting has been recognized as an important way to draw near to God, deepen one’s relationship with Him, and seek His help in times of special need. Nearly all of the great spiritual leaders of the church, as well as ordinary believers who have been noted for their devotion to God, have practiced fasting. If you desire a deeper, more intimate and fruitful relationship with God, or if you need His help in a time of real need, fasting is an important means of grace to practice...
