The Revival Fellowship

Every Spirit Filled person has once pondered the icy cold prospect of death. That is why the vast majority of people have joined God's fellowship by being anointed in the Spirit. Someone sowed the seeds of life into your heart, by telling you what God's offering. There is a very good reason why death needs to be defeated... without life, there is nothing... without God there is no life... without the Holy Spirit there is no after life. That is the message we take to the world. God motivated us to acquire our salvation through the promise of eternal life... this precious knowledge needs to be shared. The seeds of life are sown by words of truth and power.

hen Jesus began His ministry, He exercised authority to cast out demons, to heal, and forgive. It was both controversial and exciting. It is important that we recognise God's authority in every aspect of our lives, and exercise the authority that He granted to us.

Once filled with the Holy Spirit we need to make the second greatest choice of our lives. We need to be just as diligent in prayer and action to stay saved as we did to get saved. Then comes our third responsibility... to restore where possible those who have failed to build themselves up and continue on with their salvation in the way that God has made available. These 3 actions lead us to understand the principle that supports them all... the Love of God.

Time is all we have and we all have the same amount. We can invest our time, we can spend our time, or we can waste our time. This life of ours is about the time we have been gifted by God.

We are continually encouraged by God to give ourselves room to receive more blessing. This simply means that we give up some more of the non productive parts of our lives and make increases in the spiritual commitments that are on offer. In other words, we put more into our walk in the Lord. The action which permits us to trust God, is called faith... and faith is what we need to apply. If we learn to identify opportunities, then we can put our faith into action, but if we never see opportunities, then faith can never be exercised. Opportunities are evident, because prayer brings them to the surface... they are exposed so attention can be focused on them. Lack of prayer probably means that there will be no recognizable opportunities and yet they exist around us every moment of the day.

The Bible tells us to be filled with the Spirit, speaking to ourselves in psalms, and hymns and spiritual songs... the following presentation examines the scriptures that are relevant to a popular chorus, I am a new creation.

Once filled with the Holy Spirit we need to make the second greatest choice of our lives. We need to be just as diligent in prayer and action to stay saved as we did to get saved. Then comes our third responsibility... to restore where possible those who have failed to build themselves up and continue on with their salvation in the way that God has made available.

Once filled with the Holy Spirit we need to make the second greatest choice of our lives. We need to be just as diligent in prayer and action to stay saved as we did to get saved. This is always our choice and our choice alone. We have already used bible examples to disprove many myths and false doctrines about salvation... we also rejoice because we are shown how to use God's power, wisdom and obedience to remain in our saved state.

Here is a brief summary of the purpose and content of the books of the New Testament.

The Gospel books... The historical, prophetic and spiritual record of Jesus, the son of God... his words, his deeds and promises... death and resurrection.

The book of Acts... The only detailed accounts of the founding of the church and of full scriptural salvation. The first history and missionary journeys of those who preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, how the spirit was recognised by miracles signs and wonders, and the opposition they faced.

The Epistles... Letters and some prophecies to the churches/leaders in various stages of development. They deal with all life issues and how to maintain faith and sound doctrine through the power of God... for everyone.

How old was Timothy when this scripture was written? 1Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in faith, in purity. It is falsely assumed that Timothy was in his late teens or early twenties when these verses were written, but a quick check of bible chronology, and the established dates of the writings of the following letters, give us a far better grasp of Timothies age through the scriptures.
