Downpour
Here is a verse that you are going to hear time after time throughout this study
“God is found when we search for him with our whole heart”
13 When he was at the Benjamin Gate, a sentry there named Irijah the son of Shelemiah, son of Hananiah, seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans.”
There is an invitation to revival…
The invitation goes out collectively
Their deeds do not permit them to
4 Their deeds do not permit them
to return to their God.
For the spirit of whoredom is within them,
and they know not the Lord.
10 The pride of Israel testifies to his face;
yet they do not return to the Lord their God,
nor seek him, for all this.
Now they are going into bondage and slavery
5 They shall not return to the land of Egypt,
but Assyria shall be their king,
because they have refused to return to me.
The invitation goes out collectively
4 I will heal their apostasy;
I will love them freely,
for my anger has turned from them.
Their deeds do not permit them to
7 They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow;
they shall flourish like the grain;
they shall blossom like the vine;
their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
Even to the end of the book they
Come let us turn to the Lord
Revival-
Before you can be revived you have to be vived-
Anyone ever experience a time of indifference or decline?
In order to returbn
There must be a recognizion
This is wrong before God, I don’t want this anymore, this is hurtful.
This is harmful to me, it is harmful to others.
I don’t like this anymore I hate it, this doesn’t arrouse me, it repulses me.
That’s a recognition
2. There Must Be repentance
I’m wrong God.
All my rationalizing is nonsense, all of my excuse making is worthless
Repentance is the process of detecting the rationalization snad the mental gymnastics that led to our sin. I was wrong . You see repentance is the process of identifying and destroying the mental excuses and justifications that led to the sin.
Youre right God I was lying...
Come Let US REturn To The Lord
Returning is Returning
Feeling shame about your sin is not a bad thing- I’m gonna fix this.... don’t clean yourself up, don’t pay penance, don’t bargain for God.... Come Let us reurn to the Lord
THE PROBLEM IN CHURCH TODAY IS ALL PROCESS AND NOT CRISIS
ITS ALL ABOUT HOW TO PRAY BETTER, HOW TO SHARE YOUR FAITH BETTER, READ YOUR BIBLE BETTER.... PROCESS PROCESS PROCESS
6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,
Colossians 2:6
How did you receive the Lord? How? Can I share your testimony
I was going along thinking I was to sexy for my shirt and God dropped a boulder on me… I was seven years old and I was afraid of giong to hell. I was a business man and my life was falling apart, the pressure kept me up at night, my marriage was crumbling. The label on the boulder always change it
How did I recievce the Lord? I had a crisis
We don’t have crisis anymore.
Who can give that testimony?
Who can give that testimony?
Let us return to the Lord
A fierce moral and spiritual inventory… Where am I at?
A Crisis, a crisis, a crisis
The history of revival 100 Ad. 500 ad.... all the way up through the 18 and 19th century… and then flat line/ What happened? No crisis preaching! Just process preaching
