0698 A Recipe for Revival

Isaiah 59:1-4

1. There is connection between Gods hand and Gods ear

Nothing wrong with God’s hand and God’s ear

- God’s hand is not shortened to save

STORY: Mr Honorable to 14 employees! Birth with one fallopian tube. Got papers back through dream!

STORY: Sheryl - abused at 13. Got child. Topless dancing. Marriage broken. Witchcraft - dark demons, tv on. Cut veins - tv speakers says “You ought there, raise your hand” Voice “You will want those things no more, I love you. Follow the mountain until you see my name.” Jesus on the top of the roof!

- God’s ear is not heavy to hear

If we pray in secret, He will reward publicly!

2. There is connection between God’s ear and believers mouth

We can’t get to God’s hand skipping God’s ear. We release His hand by influencing His ear

Satan can’t break the link between God’s ear and God’s hand, but he will try to stop the link between your mouth and God’s ear by silencing your mouth!

If satan can stop you from PRAYING, PRAISING, PROCLAIMING, AND PREACHING, he can prevent revival from coming! Sin will keep you from praying, praying will keep you from sinning!

TIRED! Peter was stopped from praying, but not too tired to cuss. If satan closes your mouth during prayer, you will not keep it closed during temptation.

Shelley - From 6-10 was sexually abused by priest as a missionary. Abuse ended when family moved. Full schedule, full of emptiness. Christian college - full blown atheist. Self mutalitation. Plan was to jump out of the roof on her birthday. On the way of the roof - another student, stopped it and she was in hospital. Shoe lases even removed. “If there is God, please show me that you can do something” 10 days students started to pray! She got invited to go Bible study. wanted to say NO. but went YES! As they prayed, presence came! Bible teacher and worship leader!

Satan will try to focus on the style of worship instead of the object of worship. Don’t stumble over your dignity that you don’t worship Divinity - or else womb will be closed.

Complaining empowers your situation, proclaiming empowers your God. Length of my wilderness is determined by whether I complain or proclaim!

SHY! Disciples were not beaten for believing but for preaching. People get saved when Gospel is preached. Too busy during birthday to cut the cake. Too busy riding lawnmower to cut the grass. Too busy selling coffee that no gas. You are nobody, share to everybody about Somebody who can will save anybody.

God’s hand responds to God’s ear, God’s ear responds to man’s mouth.

Satan can’t stop God’s hand. Satan can’t stop God’s ear. Satan will try to silence man’s mouth.
