Last but most important for the Next Great awakening that would begin right here in Hamiltion Texas That we would see a revival that we have not seen in this generation

I believe all that profess to be believers would like to see a revival
I believe all that profess to be believers would like to see a revival
WE would like to see more people with a heart after God
WE would like to see a new generation come along that would right the ship that would bring America back to a nation under God loosing favor amongst friends coworkers or just not being thought of as Cool
However, there are few that are willing to put in the effort to teach the truths of God, to stand against the ways of the world to challenge the popular thoughts in fear of ridicule in fear of
There are 3 major things we must To do this New Great awakening in America
1.We must humble ourselves and see God not who we want Him to be but for who He is.
2. We must take the steps of courage in our own lives and take a stand against the ways of the world
3. We must as Luther said have understanding of the Scripture and have understanding that its authority by scripture alone. I would like to add to that by the totality of scripture Let me break this down for you
One of the greatest sins against God is Pride, we see How Nebacanezzar was reduced to that of a oxen eating grass in the field, We see how God replaced Saul as King for he did not honor God he was full of pride throughout the scripture we see that when Pride creeps in God not only fails to pour out his blessings instead it brings about a attribute of God that is not talked about much today. That is His wrath that when we exult ourselves when we become so full of pride not truly giving honor and thanks to God we see How god humbles men.
For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
When pride comes, then comes shame;
But with the humble is wisdom.
Proverbs
I Love my country but we are so filled full of pride, I fought for this country I watched brothers die for this county I have bled for this country I love this country but we are filled so full of Pride
To give thanks to the Lord just for allowing you to be in this country would be worthy, yet so many cry in their circumstances. Even the poorest American is the wealthiest of all Christians
Story about Mexico
Story about Mexico
We must humble ourselves we are
For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
God Loves you he blessed you to place you in America where you can have the Gospel at your fingertips
Story about Chineese and thier bibles
You must recognoze there is none good no not one the bible says apart from those made alive by Christ
This very Gift is Grace that you did not deserve we must humble ourselves and Give God the Glory for his riches and mercy and Grace no no bounds
2. Have the courage to begin the revival in your heart in your home stand firm against the World and be ready to defend the Gospel
If we are to see a great awakining in our lifetime it starts with you
The bible says be holy for i am holy
because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
1 Peter 1:13-
The revival must start with you be Holy: Judge yourself not against yourselves but examine yourself against the scripture to see if you are in the Faith
There has been a lot of talk about these comandments
Jesus is the Word and the Word was with God and the Word is God so Whom gave moses the Comandments?
It was Jesus who said ,
“If you love Me, keep My commandments.
Honor God, If you Love Him you shall not continue in sin because we live under grace but out of thanksgiving our fruit shall bear witness to who we are,
Does your fruit show the Love for Him have you strived to honor the words of our Lord If you Love me keep my comandments
We must as believers stand up for the Faith
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,
Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
Philippians 1:27
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
WE have been weak to long not wanting to seem argumentative not wanting to be called politically incorrect.
You may live in this world but this is not your Home
God did not create you He did not give you His mercy so you can sit behind the tv and yell at all the thing wrong in America He wants you to Speak His word with honesty with humbleness out of love but while standing firm
Jesus wasn't afraid to call it like it was look at the woman at the well when he spelled out to her, her sin but did it in a loving way so should we be with one another . Being patient with one another as the lord had longsuffering towards us
You must have a total understanding of God. in all of his Attributes, That are reveled from Genesis to that of Revelation. God does not change who He is to fit our Culture. He is the same God in Genesis as He is today.
This allows me to praise Him and Worship Him as He is as He ought to be worshiped for he does not change as the wind blows but is stead fast towards me and to all of us.
If we are to have the next Great Awakening it must come by the full understanding of God through Scripture and scripture alone but by the totality of scripture.
How big is our God How marvelous is He that He would lay His own son down for me that the Wrath of God that was intended for me would be put upon His son that day at Calvary.
Oh How undeserving this man is of such amazing Grace
So before we begin praying tonight lets humble ourselves before a awesome God
Give Him thanks for all that he has done the big and the small
Maybe you need to get right with God tonight is the Time come see one of our pastors here tonight , maybe today you need to put Jesus as your lord and your saviour , Maybe you need to just give him thanks for the undeserving grace, what ever it is do it tonight.
Pastor Kevin will now Dismiss us were we will break up into groups to pray over our the things mentioned earlier and anything n your heart then we will adjourn to reconvene at living waters for the community worship event
