How About A Holy Ghost Revival….
Author: Pat Aman

2 Chronicles 7:13, 14, “If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

During the last 12+ weeks God has honored me to bring His Word to our local community.

Also, Lynward Brown has been working helping God’s church by tag teaming with me. He and Mrs. Juanita have been a blessing.

And EG and Brandy Peters have helped with organizing music on Sunday as well as having musicians come sing during the week. EG is the EG Peters Band…But, he has been singing Praise song’s for our services. He loves to sing Big Daddy Weaves songs…But he does a great job on all songs…

Terri BoWell has invided food trucks to come and worked hard to set dates up.

Our young children have sung, played their musical instruments and taken turns in leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

We even had graduation services for all our youth. I want to thank Brandy and Ms. Bennett Myers for the great job they did in preparation for the graduation service.

We have helped musicians that live in NC and are out of work and local food trucks to come and we support them.

Sensei West has been giving karate lessons twice a week.

And I cannot thank everyone enough for attending the services and keeping our community covered in prayer.

We have done all this for God’s glory while socially distancing.

People have been touched and lives changed. Our community has learned our neighbors names. We are having a Prayer Service Wednesday, tomorrow to pray for our Nation. 7pm…Please join us.

And we do not have a building, but a lot where we gather and sit in lawn chairs.
Some bring their umbrellas because of the sun and heat…

But God has blessed us because we have not had to cancel a Sunday because of rain. But God has allow His wind to blow…The natural wind and the Wind of the Holy Spirit.

Some of our group has returned to their home churches, but some of us are still coming together until the Lord leads us back to our church building, or directs us in a different path.

My prayer is the ones returning to their home churches, do not go back to the normal, but go with a renewed heart.

God is instilling new vision and new hope.

God has been good…

But as we read church signs, bulletin boards, newspaper articles that say, “Come to A Holy Ghost Revival, they seem to have forgotten one thing, an important invitation. They forget to invite the Holy Ghost when they make their invitation list.

Churches everywhere are seeking Revival, but none are preparing for the Revival. How do you prepare for Revival? Pray! Pray! Pray!

Too many churches have 3-day Revivals, some a week, but how many pray week after week, really understanding that Revival must begin with their own heart.

It is time churches stop saying, “Well, you know the week of June 6th or September 8th, will soon be here, and you know we must plan our yearly Revival.” Who are WE going to get to come preach our Revival?

It is time we decide to pray and have Revival all year long. No man or woman can bring a Revival to your church. If you do not pray and prepare, you will just have someone come, preach, and then when they leave, you will go back to the same routine of just attending church services. Yes, bored, dry, and no anointing at all. You will have the same few people, doing the same things, going on with the same programs.

If you want Revival, again, Pray! Pray! Pray!

Christians must seek the face of God on their knees. Churches must have corporate unity to bring the anointing, that will bring a true Holy Ghost Revival.

Too many people are seeking God for answers, and wanting to work for God, but they are not getting up off the pew and working to get the job done. You cannot just come to the church building week after week, and not do some foot work, and win lost souls to God. Remember, if Peter had not got out of the boat, he would have only known the disciples, but he took a step of faith and got out of the boat and met Jesus.

I do not know about you, but as I wrote the words above straight from my heart, I can tell you now, I want a real Holy Ghost Revival, and I am starting it within myself on my knees.

Our Nation needs restoration and it must begin with us on our knees.

How about you?

Would you join me….Please….

I was reading the article below about the great Revival of 1799, and I want to share a quote with you.

I truly believe the quote from: Alex Dodson “We live in a day when the preaching of the Word of God has taken a back seat in many evangelical churches to other things. The great pulpits of the past have been removed and the stage opened up for the worship team. It is not that the worship team is doing something wrong but that what they do has priority over the preaching of the Word of God which used to be pre-eminent in our worship services. Many Christians no longer take the Bible seriously or have no confidence in much of what it says. We are living in a time of compromise. No longer is the Bible revered as the very Word of God. Even seminaries compromise with modern day science theories and philosophy. The whole Bible is not considered trustworthy anymore. Darwinian philosophy has taken the place of a truly Biblical and Christian philosophy in the public schools of this land and even in some Christian schools.”

In the last several months, I myself, have noticed that people do not even take their Bibles to church. The scripture is on a screen in the front of the building behind the pulpit, so why carry my Bible into the sanctuary?

Now that is not a problem, unless, it means that Christians cannot even find their Bibles anymore at home. If they are not taking the time to pick their Bible up and study God’s Word, their lives will become totally dormant.
And then we wonder, Humm, why am I having such a difficult day or week?

Pray, pray and pray some more.
