REVIVE US AGAIN JESUS!

Psalms 85:6...Will You not Yourself revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You?

Isaiah 60:1...Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. 

Romans 13:11....And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Ephesians 5:14...Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light

ITS SAFE TO SAY THAT THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST IS SLEEPING, when you're sleeping you can't see nothing, when you're sleeping you can't hear nothing, when you're sleeping you can't say nothing, Amen.

SLEEP in itself is not bad it's a necessity BUT "Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread" (Proverbs 20:13). 

It is not wrong to sleep, but it is wrong to love sleep. Sleep is not an end in itself, but is a means to an end. We sleep for rejuvenation so we can work again the next day.

God tells us to wake up. We all need physical sleep, so there is nothing wrong with sleeping at the proper time. But when it is time to wake up, it can be disastrous to us to stay sleep.

This message on revival is intended to wake us up from our sleep before destruction comes. That's right I said destruction.

JESUS has already suffered and shed His blood on the cross to buy us back. So why are we not back, because we need a revival to wake us up. 

● I want you to Understand this: Jesus suffered and died on the cross to buy us back from Satan’s power and control. When He died on that cross He went down to hell, took hold of Satan and his demons, stripped, spoiled  and took back from them the power and whatever else they had usurped. Jesus defeated the devil thoroughly, undressed him and his demons, made a public show of them and marched them down the street. Jesus left the devil with nothing. I mean nothing. He's not a lion but roars like as a lion.

● I don’t care what the evil spirits may have done to you, they may have crippled you, blinded you or made you to lose your mind, made you do evil, or given you a disease to make you die early

● When Jesus shed His blood and died, He carried it all in His body and every spirit that would give you trouble was undressed and defeated, and power was taken from them. Rejoice, these demons no more have power; Jesus took it away from them as He defeated them by His blood fulfilling the prophecy that a Son born of woman would crush the serpent’s head that would wound his heel.

IT IS FINISHED!

GOD IS TURNING THE TABLE IN YOUR FAVOR

Today, many Jews still celebrate the feast of Purim. The name Purim is derived from “the lot” which a Gentile, Haman, cast concerning the fate of the Jews when they were in Persia under King Ahasuerus.

Haman, the villain in this story in the book of Esther, hated the Jews and sought to exterminate them. He got King Ahasuerus to allow him to issue a decree to annihilate all the Jews in one day — the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of Adar. But God used Queen Esther and her uncle Mordecai, both Jews, to turn the tables on Haman and save the Jews.

Haman was hanged on the very gallows that he had constructed for Mordecai! Then, the king allowed Queen Esther and Mordecai to issue a counter-decree to allow all the Jews to defend themselves and destroy their enemies in one day — the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of Adar!

So instead of the Jews being exterminated on that fateful day, their enemies were destroyed! God turned an evil day for the Jews into good days. He turned their mourning into rejoicing and gave them victory over their enemies.

Listen, God can do the same for you today. He only wants you to remain in your position of rest in Christ. You see, because of Jesus’ finished the work at the cross, you and I are seated in heavenly places in Christ, far above every principality, and evil assault the devil can throw at us. (Ephesians 2:6) Just as Mordecai sat within the king’s gate, and refused to stand up and bow to Haman, let’s not “bow” to the devil by being persuaded to move from our position of rest in Christ. Don’t allow him to get you worried, frantic remember he's homeless, he has no place, GIVE NO PLACE to the devil.

Queen Esther was also in a position of rest before Haman was executed. (Esther 7) She was seated on the Kings couch as Haman pleaded with her for his life. While doing so, he accidentally fell over the couch where the queen was. The king, thinking that Haman was assaulting his queen, sent him to the gallows!

So remain at rest in Christ’s finished work, and He will turn your evil day into days of rejoicing and feasting!

Amen!
