REVIVAL TALK

We are living in what the Bible defines as the last days.   That is why the Lord is encouraging every believer to rebuild the altar of prayer in our personal lives.   Most believers will admit that they have struggled in their personal times of prayer.   I believe that we must rebuild and strengthen our personal altar of prayer. Our personal altar of prayer is the place where we meet with God for our devotion and quiet time. It can be a particular place and time.  It can be a particular room in your home such as your study, den or bedroom.  We must make it a priority to set aside time to pray and listen for the instructions of the Holy Spirit. Our personal altar will be a place of personal visitation.  Why not schedule out a time to meet with the Lord on a daily basis.  I believe that He longs to spend time in fellowship and communion with His children.  In Revelation 3:20 John records the words of Jesus, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and op

Psalms 91:1 – He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.             This beautiful Psalm speaks to us about dwelling in the secret place of the Most High.   This Psalm is known as the protection Psalm.   It teaches that there is a place of safety in the presence of God.   Many believers have claimed the promises in these Scriptures for protection. What does the author mean about dwelling in the secret place of the Most High?   The secret place is a place of fellowship and communion that we can enjoy in relationship with the Lord.   God desires to have a personal intimate relationship with each of His children. Jesus referred to the secret place in Matthew 6:6.   “But you, when you pray, go into your room (closet), and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who  is  in the secret  place;  and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” God is calling us into the secret closet to impart divine insp

In the fifteenth chapter of Genesis there is a very interesting story about Abraham, who is known as the Father of Faith.   Earlier in the Biblical record God had spoken to Abraham and instructed him to leave the idolatrous city of Ur of Chaldees, and go to a land that He would show him.   The Bible has a great deal to say about Abraham.   He is called the “friend of God, a man of faith, and a man of prayer.   In Genesis chapter 14 he takes three hundred and eighteen trained servants from his household and attacked the four kings who took his nephew Lot, and the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah.   He defeated these forces and rescued Lot and all the people taken captive.   In Genesis chapter 15 he encounters God in a vision.   Genesis 15:1 reads, “After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.’”   The Bible reveals that God spoke to Abram.   In this encounter Abram heard three ver

Mark 5:25-34 In the Gospel of Mark there is a story of a woman who was suffering from a debilitating disease.   Mark 5:25 reads, “Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years.”   For twelve years she had suffered from a continual problem of hemorrhaging blood.   This disease kept her in a weakened state and prevented her from her duties as a wife and a mother. This flow of blood not only handicapped her physically, but it also hindered her spiritually.   Leviticus 15:25-26 reads, “If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, other than at the time of her  customary impurity, or if it runs beyond her  usual time of  impurity, all the days of her unclean discharge shall be as the days of her  customary  impurity. She  shall be  unclean.  26  Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her impurity; and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity.” Her hemorrhaging caused her to become c
