REVIVAL TALK

As I was meditating and praying for the upcoming New Year the Lord gave me four different phrases that will be important in the coming year. The first was "Seismic Shifts." I wrote about this in "Entering Into 2009 - Part Two." In this session I want to talk about coming into proper alignment. We must come into proper alignment this year. Pastor Mark Pfiefer writes in his book, “ Alignment.” “What do a chiropractor and a mechanic have in common? They both understand the importance of Alignment. One aligns the spine for the health of the body while the other aligns the car for better tire wear and handling.

Earthquakes cause seismic activity such as seismic waves. Seismology is the study of earthquakes and seismic waves that move through a...

In Deut. 1:6 “The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.'" Verse 7 - "Turn and take your journey." The Lord told the children of Israel, “You have been at this mountain long enough.” I believe it is time to move from this mountain. God is calling us from the wilderness into our inheritance. 2008 has been a year of "New Beginnings." It has been a year to embrace the new things that God longs to bring into our lives and ministry. I believe that God is giving us the following new things: 1) A New Assignment 2) A New Territory 3) A New Mantle Recently I was praying and asked the Lord, “Why have we had a hard time getting traction in the New Season that began in 2008? I believe that God gave me two reasons for why it seems that we have had a hard time getting traction in the “new season” of God: 1) As I was meditating on new beginnings I realized that God always starts a new thing with a seed.
