Lord Send A Revival, and let it begin in Me.

I do not know about you, but, I am ready for a Holy Ghost, Fire Falling Down from Heaven Revival.

I am ready for that Revival to begin in me.

Tonight, I was watching a movie, and at the end they were singing such a praiseful, glorious song, I just wanted to get up and sing and dance with them.

A new Revival had begun in that little choir, but, it took change. Not change of the gospel, but, change in the presentation of the gospel.

I know that churches everywhere have their annual Revivals, but, until the church itself hits it knees at the altar, there cannot be Revival. A Evangelist cannot bring a Revival to a church. But, an Evangelist can help lead a church into Revival that is prayed up.

Then when the Evangelist leaves if the church is prayed up, then the church will stay in Revival.

As an ordained Minister with the International Pentecostal Holiness Church one of the ways to earn our CEU’s is by reading books. And that is not a problem because I love to read.

I read “Revivals That Stay”, wrote by E. W. Mounds, he states;

“A genuine revival marks an era in the life of the church. It plants the germs of the great spiritual principles which grow and mature through all the changing seasons that follow. Revival seasons are favoring seasons, when the tides of salvation are at their flood, when all the waves and winds move heavenward…days of emancipation and return and rapture. The church needs revivals; it cannot live, it cannot do its work without them. Revivals which will lift it above the sands of worldliness that shallow the current and impede the sailing. Revivals which will radicate the great spiritual principles, which are worn threadbare in many a church. It is true that in the most thorough work some will fall away, but when the work is genuine and far-reaching, as it ought to be, the waste will scarcely be felt in the presence of the good that remains.”

I agree with the statement above, mostly the last part. Revival in a church will show who is committed to the church and mostly committed to God.

When true Revival begins, some will fall away, but the ones that stay will be the workers that the Lord will use to build His church.

This year we need to work to win the lost to Christ. 2015 must be, “A Year Of Salvation.”

Christ is soon returning, and we must be about our Father’s business.

I do not know about you, but I want to hear my Heavenly Father say, “Well done, good and faithful slave . . . enter into the joy of your master” (see Matthew 25:21).

God Bless Each Of You!

What Kind of Friend are YOU!

I know that we have all had people who we thought would be there until the end of time. We have found out that 95% of the time, that does not happen. We have also found out those persons are like the last part of the verse above, they will talk about you and if you have made a mistake, they will judge you until they are in their grave. In others words their mouth has separated a close friendship.

That is really shameful, mostly when you thought those persons were your shoulder to cry on and buddy forever. A true friend is always there. they will not judge you. They will stand by you, and even if you were wrong, they will still lift you up, and love you.

As for myself, I have had friends a long long time that I can call on in a minutes notice. We may have not been able to see or speak to one another in months or even years. But, I know I can count on them.

Everyone has been hurt at times. But, remember, a true friend forgives, and yes, even forgets at time.

I know that for years I was an very important part in a Ministry. Helping to organize the Ministry and everything.  Then after we left they had a celebration to celebrate the Ministry. I was hurt so bad. Why? I was even invited to the program.

Again, yes, when I heard about it, it did hurt. But, you know something, I feel with all  my heart I could call on those persons and they would be there for me.
See, True Friends are Friends forever, when the Lord is on their side.

Below are a few quotes made by some familiar people. I love the one made by Bernard Meltzer, it says it all. Read them all and enjoy.

“Lord, I Went To Church”
Author: Unknown

I had on new clothes,
New sneakers on my feet.
I was there for class on time,
Went to the back and took my seat.

Yeah, I’m moving up,
I’m already grown.
Soon I’ll be graduating,
And out on my own.

I talked to some of my friends,
We were all having fun.
Said some things I shouldn’t have said.
Did stuff I shouldn’t have done.

I knew I was different..
I felt God touch my heart,
I knew I should set a standard,
But then I’d be set apart.

Walking to the bus,
I was not looking for strength.
I heard the car tires screeching,
But now it’s too late.

I’m standing in this room,
And I can see the heavenly gate..
Oh no! I never prayed.
I thought I had time to get it straight!

An angel walked to me,
He had a book in his hand.
I knew it was the Book of Life,
When would this dream end?

I told him my name,
And he began to look.
Then he looked at me sadly and said,
Your name is not in this book.

Angel, this is a dream,
No, I can’t be dead!
He closed the book and turned away,
He whispered – You cannot proceed ahead.

No…no this can’t be real,
Angel, you can’t turn me away.
Let me talk to God,
Maybe he’ll let me stay.

He led me to the gate,
Jesus came to me.
He did not let me in but said,
Beloved what is your need?

Jesus, I cried, please,
Don’t cast me away from you.
Tears ran down his face as he said,
You knew what you needed to do.

Lord, please I’m young,
I never thought I would die..
I thought I’d have plenty of time,
Death caught me by surprise.

Lord, I went to church, Please Jesus, I believe.
He said you would not accept me,
My love you would not receive.
Lord, there were too many hypocrites. They weren’t being true.

He took a step back and asked,
What does that have to do with you?
Lord, my family claimed to be saved,
They weren’t real. You know.

He said, I died for you,
Now I have to go.
I fell to my knees crying to Him,
Lord, I planned to be real tomorrow.

I couldn’t make Him understand,
I had never felt such sorrow.
Then it hit me hard, I said,
Lord, where will I go?

He looked into my eyes
and said, My child you already know.

Please Jesus, I begged,
The place is so hot.
It seemed to trouble and grieve him,
He whispered while tears were running down His cheeks.
DEPART FROM ME, I KNOW YOU NOT.

Lord, you’re supposed to be love,
How can you send me to damnation?
He replied, With your mouth you said you loved me,
But each day you rejected my salvation.

With that in an instant,
Day turned into night.
I never knew such torture could be,
Now too late, I know the Bible is right.

If I can tell you anything,
Hell has no age.
It is a place of torture,
Separated from God and full of rage.

You know, I thought it was funny, a joke,
But this one thing is true.
If you never accept Jesus Christ,
HELL IS WAITING FOR YOU!

So please, ask Him into your heart.

“Rev 3:15-20″

” I know your doings–you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot! Accordingly, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, before long I will vomit you out of My mouth. You say, ‘I am rich, and have wealth stored up, and I stand in need of nothing’, and you do not know that if there is a wretched creature it is YOU–pitiable, poor, blind, naked. Therefore I counsel you to buy of Me gold refined in the fire that you may become rich, and white robes to put on, so as to hide your shameful nakedness, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes with, so that you may be able to see. All whom I love, I rebuke and chastise; therefore be earnest and repent. I am now standing at the door and am knocking. If any one listens to My voice and opens the door, I will go in to be with him and will feast with him, and he shall feast with Me.”

2 Timothy 2:15

(15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.)

At times in Our lives, we seek God. But, we should seek Him every minute of everyday.

Each morning God prepares a feast just for you and me. He waits patiently for us to come sit at His table and get our instructions for the day.

When we do not take the time to start our day with God, I promise you that your day will not be blessed with His mercy, love, grace, peace and direction.

Seek God daily for Wisdom, knowledge, understanding, common sense and guidance.

Yes, the Bible is our daily Bread. It is not just a treat on special occasions.

So, today, sit down and have breakfast with God.

I guarantee it will be the best meal you have had in a long time.
Love, Blessings and Prayers,
Pat.

Through It All

(Psalm 124: 1 – 8)

1. If the LORD had not been on our side—
let Israel say-
2. if the LORD had not been on our side
when men attacked us,

3.  when their anger flared against us,
they would have swallowed us alive;

4. the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,

5. the raging waters
would have swept us away.

6. Praise be to the LORD,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

7. We have escaped like a bird
out of the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.

8. Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

I know that each of you,  just as I have, has faced times of life that we thought we would not make it through.  But Praise God, He was there, Through It All.

No matter what you are going through know that God is with you and will continue to love and protect you.

There is a song I love.  It goes, “Through it all, through it all,  I’ve learned to trust in Jesus I’ve learned to trust in God, Through it all, through it all, I’ve learned to depend upon His Word

“Without God on your side, you are fighting a losing battle. But with God on your side, the battle has been won!” Pastor Pat Aman

“Is The Lord Your Shepard?”
Today let’s look at Psalm 23. Read each verse and realized that God is always there for us, no matter what our circumstances. He loves His children, and wants the best for all of us.

Psalm 23: 1-6, 1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

God’s people must actively, consciously trust that God’s Word is true and that He always acts in accordance with it. Every situation we encounter is an opportunity to choose to trust God rather than our own inclinations. Faith involves an element of risk, but always yields the richest dividends. Choose to believe that the Lord will never forsake you when you trust Him. Know that the Word of God has been proven to be absolutely trustworthy. Expect Jesus’ shepherding care. Believe the Lord for your vindication, not seeking it yourself. Consciously commit all your plans to the Lord daily.

Do not presume His help if it is uninvited. We need to remember that God has allowed each of us our own self – will. God is a gentleman and will not go against our will. This is the reason we do not need to presume His help if it is uninvited. God will run to us with open arms when we depend on Him and call on Him.

“Bring Faith’s Works Alive Within You”

Letting the life of the Holy Spirit Bring Faith’s Works alive in You!

3 John 2-11 2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.

4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers,

6 who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well,

7 because they went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth.

9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.

10 Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.

11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

The godly desire physical health, emotional stability, and prosperity to be established in the lives of others. Those who are so blessed should be eager to receive and support those ministers who are serving God. Prosper in your soul. Understand that health and prosperity are affected by the spirit. Be assured that God rejoices over His children who put God’s Word into practice daily. Be eager and faithful to show hospitality to those who labor in the gospel. Recognize that this is how God wants us to treat His servants. Beware of those who want preeminence in the church. Reject those who are malicious gossips. Reprove those who reject righteous ministry because of envy and jealousy.

(Proverbs 6: 16-19) says, ” These six things the Lord hates, Yes, but the seventh is an abomination to Him. A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, and a false witness who speaks lies and one who sows discord among brethren .”

Pat’s Opinion: When we read these verses we can see that there are six things the Lord hates. They are: when we act proud, lie, hurt the innocent, premeditate evil, run to take part in wrong actions, and spread gossip. He then says of all these things that the seventh is an abomination to Him, and that is when one instigates problems between people.

In our churches today that seems to be the most common problem. I believe that a lot of times it is caused by jealousy. If we would read this scripture and really think about it, I am sure it would stop so much discord among church members and the world as a whole. Do you understand that He is saying that to sow discord is an abomination? Webster defines abomination as intense aversion or loathing. He also describes loathing as a strong dislike mingled with disgust. Hey! Do you get this yet? God gets disgusted with us. Even though He hates the first six, the seventh is the worst. Yet, why are there so many churches who are losing members because they cannot keep their mouths shut?

We should be a shining light in our communities and lead the way for peace among brethren. So the next time you start to jabbering about someone else, you need to think about the life you may be destroying.

“Miracles, Signs and Wonders”

Acts 2: 17-21 17 ‘ And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.

18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.

19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved.’

Miracles, Signs, and Wonders. Without exception, miracles, signs, and wonders accompanied the ministry and preaching of the early church. In the scripture above, Peter reminded the people that Jesus’ credibility was based on His miracle ministry. This same credibility accompanied those set apart in leadership, such as Stephen, Phillip, Barnabas, Silas, and Paul, as well as the original apostles. Miracle, signs, and wonders were commonly accepted in the early church, and leaders led the way in giving place to such ministry. Also, the early church leaders prayed for miracle seeing them not as random, occasional events, but as worthy evidences of God’s anointing, continually glorifying Christ through the church, and therefore to be sought and welcome.

We as disciples today need to want and welcome these same miracles, signs and wonders, in our churches. Some say that this was just for the days of Jesus and His disciples. In reading the above scriptures as well as the ones below, we see that it is meant for today also.

John 14:12. 12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask[c] anything in My name, I will do it.

Matthew 28:19-20 19 Go Ye therefore[a] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Amen. When we as people of God, get serious about the work that God’s has left for us to do, it will happen again. You do not need to plan a big Revival, or go to a Azusa Street Revival. Just get right with God, and do His work. Stop all the politic and favoritism, and let Godly people do the work God has call them to do, and watch the miracles, signs and wonders happen again. Get back to the basic, which is “Go Ye”

“Be Strong In The Lord”

“Be Strong In The Lord”

It seems that everyone I talk to is having some type of battle in their life. I know that it is getting close to the return of Jesus. I also know because of this, satan and his demons are working over time.

Daily we need to dress in the armor of God. We need to make sure our family is dressed in the armor. Ephesians 6: 10-18, “10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance an supplication for all the saints—”

Isaiah 58:8: “And the glory of the Lord shall be my rear guard.”

The scriptures above talks about withstanding. Strong’s concordance compares it with “antihistamine.” “against, and to cause to stand” The verb suggests vigorously opposing, bravely resisting, standing face to face against an adversary, and standing your ground. Just as an antihistamine blocks histamine, the Scripture tells us that with the authority and spiritual weapons granted to us we can withstand evil forces.

Faith’s Warfare, Paul admonishes us to put on the whole armor of God in order to stand against the forces of hell. It is clear that our warfare is not against physical forces, but against invisible powers who have clearly defined levels of authority in a real, though invisible, sphere of activity.

Paul, however not only warns us of a clearly defined structure in the invisible realm, he instructs us to take up the whole armor of God in order to maintain a “battle-stance” against this unseen satanic structure. All of this armor is not just a passive protection in facing the enemy; it is to be used offensively against these satanic forces.

Note Paul’s final directive; we are to be “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.” Thus, prayer is not so much a weapon, or even apart of the armor, as it is the means by which we engage in the battle itself and the purpose for which we re armed. To put on the armor of God is to prepare for battle. Prayer is the battle itself, with God’s Word being our chief weapon employed against Satan during our struggle. The chief weapon is not the book. So throwing your bible at satan will not defeat him, or his demons. Knowing the scriptures, God’s Word, is the chief weapon.

That is the reason you need to know the scriptures and be able say them. Speaking God’s Word out loud will defeat the evils of hell.
