Halleluiah

Hallelujah ;
We heard people use the word hallelujah ,it is used to express praise or thanksgiving to the Lord.How exciting it is to be a child of the Lord's and be able to break out in praise for his goodness and mercy.When I stand in the pulpit and I feel his presence around me I cannot help but to break out in worship. As christians we should always be able to worship God , even when we have had a bad day and don't feel like it.We have so much to be thankful for, but so often the only thing God gets from us is our complaints . Job ; when he found out that he had loss everthing he had including is children Job 1:20 At this, Job got up tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship. NIV . You might say how could he do that after such a bad day . Job knew that no matter what he was going through God was right there with him , And he knew no matter what God was not going to leave him . Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Paul knew this that is how he could face the trials in his life .Read Romans 8:31-39. That is how Paul and Silas could worship even as they were beaten and thrown into prison .Acts 16 :22-25. And when they broke out into worship there in the jail it led others to the Lord . Our God is alive and we should worship Him like He is. I love to be around christians that worship with all their heart . I love lively worship, How can you have Christ in your heart and not get excited? I have heard folks say we have to have orderly services and that we should not get emotional in our worship service. I would agree that there should be some order but not to the point that we suppress the spirit , if Christ is the head of the church I think it is time for us to get out of the way and let him start leading it. How can you have such an awesome God and not break out in worship? HOW can you have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and not let it rise up in you in worship? Read Psalm 149-AND 150 AND TELL ME THAT WE ARE NOT TO WORSHIP ARE GET EXCITED!!!! People are turning to all kinds of cults and witch craft because they are looking for something alive , many are looking for anwers for problems in thier lives,instead of looking for those anwers in the mainline church they are turning to the things of the devil. Why, because they don"t see any life in the church anymore . There are no signs and wonders in the church . Jesus said in Mark 16:17 and these signs will accomany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; Most christians setting in the church today don"t even believe that there are demons much less be able to cast one out. My prayer is that you allow the Holy Spirit to rise up in you and that you start worshiping God in your life and never allow religion or anyone stop you from worshiping in freedom and in truth. Satan wants the church dead and religious and led of man because he knows the power that can be unlease if Gods people start to worship and pray for revival and start to hunger for more of God . If my people who are called by my name ,will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from wicked ways, then I will heard from Heaven and will forgive thier sins and heal thier land. 2 Chronicles 6:14 NIV This is what satan don't want you to know . SO the next time you heard someone say HALLELUJAH join in and get excited in the goodness and mercy of the lord. Let your cup run over .Break out of the rut and allow God to get real in your life. Keep looking up He is coming back. Praise God!!!!!!

We need revival

Greeting ,
I hope you had a great labor day weekend. It is hard to believe that summer is officially over, time waits on no one. I heard someone say that one thing that money cannot buy is time, I would agree with that but there is another thing that money can't buy and that is salvation. Salvation is free to anyone who calls on the name of Christ. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4: 12 NIV When you think about that, that is truly awesome ; ALL we have to do to be save is cry out to Christ. The bible said in Romans 10:13 for Everone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."NIV " With that said how can so many people be confuse about how to be saved? I heard that a recent poll taken said that over twenty per cent of people setting in our church today think that there is more than one way into heaven. That they can get in on good works or just being a good person. That is a lie right out of hell . How can so many people setting in our church today not heard the truth? One reason is that a lot of pastor have given up on salvation, they are more concerned about keeping there congregation inside the church rather than sending them outside the church to the harvest. Most of the church today operates in the natural rather than in the supernatural. We know longer see signs and wonders in our church today. We are satisfied with the church the way it is, not expecting anything an not getting anything ,but I know that Christ is not happy with a luke warm church. Christ said in Revelation 3:15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So because you are neither hot nor cold- I am about to spit you out of my mouth. I all so know that Christ is raising up a church today that is hungry and thirsty for his Holy Spirit . Christains that keep praying for the out pouring of the Spirit , that are begining to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit to edify the church. The unchurched are watching the church today to see if there is life , we need to be praying and seeking the face of God for our church today ,for God to stir the church ,to put life back into it, to get it out of the hands of men and back into the hands of Christ.WE NEED REVIVAL! But the only way it will come is if there are enough christians who are hungry and have such a burden for the loss that they will keep praying and will not stop . If you read this and think that you can get to heaven an bypass Christ here is what he said in John 10 :9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out , and find pasture. Friend there is only one way to heaven ,only one way to be saved . That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,you will be saved. ROMANS10: 9 NIV. That is so simple that even a child can understand. If you prayed for Christ to come into your life let me know and we will send you some helpful information . Keep looking up He is coming soon!
