Please see the info. below regarding Life Action Ministries Revival Summit which began Sunday Nov. 15. There are services nightly Monday through Friday of this week at 6:30 PM EST and services concluding on Sunday, November 22 at 10:45 EST and 6:30 PM EST. Archived videos are coming soon; I'll post the link when those become available. ~Karen
O LORD, I have heard the report of you,
and your work, O LORD, do I fear.
In the midst of the years revive it;
in the midst of the years make it known;
in wrath remember mercy.
Habakkuk 3:2
Following up with more revival resources...(Please see my previous two posts here and here as well as my post my theses and a call to prayer for revival.)WHAT IS REVIVAL?
I've had a few of my readers ask me what revival is and why we need it...
If you've had similar questions, this video from Life Action Revival Ministries may help to answer some of them; it explains what revival is and what it is not...
LIFE ACTION MINISTRIES REVIVAL SUMMIT
Life Action Ministries will be holding a revival summit and you can participate. I want to remind you that such meetings in and of themselves do not make a revival, revival is not something we can orchestrate or plan. BUT GOD may choose to be merciful and gracious and send His Spirit down into the midst of such meetings to spark revival. Here's more information about the summit:Join us online November 15-22, 2009, for a live Life Action revival summit from the Orlando, FL, area. Together, we'll hear biblical principles that will awaken and revive our hearts. You'll be able to watch the live video feed, participate in live blogs, download the resources, and more. Sign up ... [here] and we'll e-mail you reminders when the live feed is taking place. We hope you'll choose to join the pursuit and take the next step in awakening your heart.Live Streaming Schedule (all times are EST):

Sunday, November 22: 9:00am & 6:30pmI do realize many of you have a lot of commitments on your plate, but I would ask you to pray to the Lord about participating in this event and also be praying for the summit. I am praying God would put it on your heart to join the pursuit, but even more importantly to pursue Him with a wholehearted passion.
Paul wrote of God's great love for us while we were dead in sins and trespasses...
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast....O, how much our heavenly Father still loves us, loves His Church. How can He not? We are His children, we have been adopted into His family, born of His Spirit, covered with the precious blood of the Lamb, united with His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ and sealed with and indwelt by His Holy Spirit.
Yet is our holy Father not grieved when He sees we have left our first Love, that we have a reputation for being alive but we are really dead, that we are lukewarm for Him as we pursue and crave any and all things but Him? . . .
BUT GOD being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us and with the great love with which He still loves us...perhaps He might come and revive us and
breathe His life into our dead bones...
bring His water to our desert places...
shine His light in our dark hearts...
radiate His heat into our lukewarm profession...That is what I am praying for. O, Church, can we not see we cannot go on without Him? May He lead us to repentance, may break our hearts, humble us and bring us to repentance so He might come down into our midst once again, that His Son might have the preeminence and we might be filled with all His fullness. O, may we not settle for being lukewarm any longer!
Pentecostal Power
Charles H. Gabriel, 1912
Lord, as of old, at Pentecost,
Thou didst Thy power display,
With cleansing, purifying flame,
Descend on us today.Refrain
Lord, send the old-time power, the Pentecostal power!
Thy floodgates of blessing, on us throw open wide!
Lord, send the old-time power, the Pentecostal power!
That sinners be converted and Thy Name glorified!For mighty works for Thee, prepare
And strengthen every heart;
Come, take possession of Thine own,
And never more depart.Refrain
All self consume, all sin destroy!
With earnest zeal endue
Each waiting heart to work for Thee;
O Lord, our faith renew!Refrain
Speak, Lord! before Thy throne we wait,
Thy promise we believe,
And will not let Thee go until
The blessing we receive.Refrain
And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Genesis 32:26b
Brothers and sisters, let's not let Him go, except He blesses His Church!
(PLEASE NOTE: I don't usually time stamp my posts, but I think I will either time stamp this post and/or pulse reminders about the summit through next Sunday.)If God is calling you to pray for revival, please visit Tent of meeting, my other site devoted to prayer for revival. (I would also love to hear from you...please message me.)
