Good Morning Very Loved Revivalists! We are very loved by the God who is love, created us in love to love. He fills us with love and it overflows to others and that brings revival as many are drawn to God and His love and then want to learn and do go love like Him. So our role is to allow love to flow from us and bring revival wherever we go daily. Amen! Sarah reminded us that revival happens as we spend time in life to life relationships loving like and loving others to Jesus. Pastor Al used to talk about PoP...people of peace. Those are the people we naturally connect to and as we love on them they start to see and are drawn to God and His love. Sarah reminded us that Jer. 29:11 says we know God has good plans for us. Plans to prosper and not harm. We need to tap into those plans of God for each of us and us as His Body. Those plans are founded on love, grow as we love, overflow to others with love and lead others to His love. What a great circle as we disciple others to love like Jesus--live like Him too. And we are growing in that and that is the start of revival. Let us keep growing in His love, plowing the hard soil with overflowing love, sowing seeds of love and watering and fertilizing in and with love. Then we will reap a revival harvest of love and new life. Amen!
We are very loved revivalists sent to love as we live more like Jesus daily. We are on a journey of love and Jesus' mission to lead others to His love. God is at work! Can you see it? Taste it? Want to be a part of it? Focus on God. Turn off the noise. And pray to grow in your potential to overflow His love and lead others to His love, just as you ate and for such a time as this! In other words, just be you and who you are created to be and doing what you are created to do--LOVE! Revival is at hand as we do! Amen!
Come Jesus! Fill us with Your love and teach us to follow You as we learn to live and love more like You! Thank You for the plans to prosper and not harm. help us to not lean on our own understanding and o turn off the noise and focus on what you are ding with willing hearts and moving feet to step into our parts. May we glorify You as we dwell in and overflow Your love. Thanks! Amen! We pray Psalm 85:6 in expectation, "Won't You revive us again, so Your people can rejoice in You? Thank You! Come! Fill us with overflowing love! Amen!
