That Jesus healed has never been a topic of contention among those who call Him Lord and Savior. All four gospels are packed with stories of Jesus healing, from purposeful healings (the pool of Bethesda, John 5), to intrusions (paralytic man through a roof, Luke 5:17-39), across distances (Centurion’s servant, Matt 8), next to Him without knowing (the woman with…
Throughout the Old Testament, we consistently see that God is able to heal, and willing to heal, both among His chosen people, and in the midst of those who were not. God preforms healing, describes Himself in such terms, and promises health and healing among His people. In the books of the law, in the books of history, in the…
June 10, 2017 we held a night of intercession in San Jose based on a model from Psalms 24 called a Prayer Symphony. Here is a handout with the Prayer Symphony Chart Also, the video teaching for the night is available.
Pursuing revival, and acting in the calling & vision God gives each of is like launching a ship (a visionary task or calling), as was describe in An Invitation Beyond Revival. Each one of us has specific callings or a vision that He is asking us to pursue, or to join others in their vision (each person doesn't need to…
Lastly, in this sequence of Revival Topics, looking at old topics through newer, revival lenses, we want to look at spiritual gifts. Having already looked at loving God or loving others, we want to look at spiritual gifts in such a light as well. It might be considered odd to cover loving God and Loving others without touching the great…
In this revival series, we are looking at old topics through new lenses. Be it regarding loving God or loving others, a renewed look at repentance, we are trying to capture God's view on these topics, and to be ready for, or even lead, revival in our lands. 1 Jn 2:13, says that young men (and women) have overcome the…
Last time we looked at a different way to look at loving God, and now we want to check in on loving each other, but from a different angle. The parable of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25-37, has rightfully been considered the marquee text for loving others, and we too be looking at this text. When Jesus told…
In this continuing series of revisiting topics in a revival light, Repentance is under consideration. Paul told us remember the words of Jesus (Col 3:16), and Jesus spoke on Repentance often: Matt 3:2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matt 4:7 "From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come…
He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" ~ Luke 10:27 Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first…
The provision to get you to the mountain of God, is rarely the provision to get you up the mountain of God! That God provides for His people, His children, is such a sure promise from Him, it is one of names He gives for Himself, Jehovah-Jireh, "the Lord provides" (Genesis 22). The key is to not become attached to…
