Revival is personal, and it must start somewhere. It will begin in a heart that is hungering, thirsting and burning for Jesus. In order for our hearts to burn for Him, there are several things we need to first allow Him to do in us-and we must not resist. Does your heart burn in His presence?

A simple question. Translated it means, 'Are you saved?', 'Are you living for Jesus?', or 'Are you going to heaven?' Stirring, hard hitting words about the most important question that needs to be answered.

There are basic aspects of God's awesomeness that when kept in perspective, will help you to move forward, no matter what your circumstances are. We need to keep these simple foundational principles close to our hearts at all times; namely that God sees, He hears and He knows. I know we know these things already...but do we live it? Be challenged. God is awesome!

A church will only be as strong as its members; this is why the enemy works so hard against us in order to stall and even bring down the Church-but it will not work. However we still need to be on guard. The danger the Church faces is not so much from the outside, but within.

This life we live is full of obstacles. We are guaranteed to encounter many foes along the way. However, there is no need to fear because the Lord's power within us is far greater. So as to keep the enemy in his place, we need face these foes with all the might that our God supplies.

In spite of what we want, in spite of how things seem to be turning out, we must be willing to accept what the Lord is allowing us to go through. No matter what the hardship we face , we must be able to say, even through gritted teeth sometimes, 'Nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.'

Jonah was on a mission...away from God. By doing so, he became a rebel on the run. Using the words from several popular songs, Rev. Jakes paints a convincing picture of what it means to be a rebel-and the need to come back to God.

In this life we are sure to face challenges and have struggles from time to time; our enemy the devil seeks to devour us like a roaring lion. Thank God for the blessed hope we have in Jesus, who will one day come and take us home. But until then, my heart will go on singing...

Whatever your need, whatever your problem or difficulty, it is only the Lord's mighty power that can set you free. Trust Him to do what He has promised. He will deliver!

The enemy has determined to do some things in our lives, however, he cannot accomplish what the Lord has not permitted. Only our mighty God is able to do all that He has spoken. Not only CAN God do what He says!, God WILL do what He says! He is the God who WILL!
