GET READY

I believe God is going to bring revival in our nation in our generation.

It is only God that can bring revival. It is only God that can bring salvation. It is only God that can change a human heart, but… we must get ready for God to move.We can get ready to receive a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit and…We can get ready to welcome and disciple a flood of new believers. I believe God is calling us to a renewed intimacy with His Spirit and obedience to His Word. I believe God is calling us to pray with a greater fervency for the lost. I believe God is calling us to expect the miraculous in our midst.I believe God is calling us to participate in seeing revival come in our nation.

This month you will hear about opportunities to serve, to join a life group, to pray and journey through the Bible together and give generously in 2014. I pray that you will hear God’s call and obey His prompting to get ready for what He wants to do in our midst.

God blessJason
