Two Absolute Necessities for Real Change, Reform, Revival, for God to Move!

There is a cry by many for revival – as if we are waiting on God. Not. God is waiting on those who call themselves His to repent, to lay down their life in this fleeting world, to deny self, take up the cross and follow Jesus authentically.

People seeking God, hungering for what is missing in their lives – JESUS – is a blessing. We know He is the One doing this because our LORD Jesus Christ told us that He’d “draw all men” to Himself after accomplishing the cross, perfect redemption! (John 12:32; 1 John 4:19) Yet wolves who capitalize upon, who exploit, and make merchandise of these people are diabolical~! (Matthew 21:15-17; 2 Peter 2:1-3, etc.).

The cry of the many for revival is a set up in most cases – where those wolves in sheep’s clothing call for revival while they set up the prey to receive a false “revival” which does not align with what we see in Holy Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

“When you’ve been to as many ‘revivals’ as I have been (in years past) yet never see anything of the Spirit revived in the attendees over several years, you come to realize (discern) that so-called revival meetings are just futile works of the flesh. Romans 8:8 et al.” Disciple of Christ

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

If you want real revival, wait no longer! Don’t wait for some deceiver to announce that “God is moving in this place”! Obey Jesus now! Open God’s real Word, the King James Bible, and read it like your life and eternal souls depend upon it because they do! Come to full repentance. Lay down your life in this fleeting world, deny (disown) your own life, take up the cross (crucified life), and follow Jesus for real! (Luke 9:23-24; 13:3; 14:33; 17:33; 19:27, etc.)

When a man doesn’t open the Bible, the King James Bible, and preach, teach, communicate straight from the Scriptures, you know he’s false (2 Kings 22-23; Nehemiah 8:1-10; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 4:16-17; Acts 17:2; 2 Timothy 4:2, etc.). Oh and this must be constant and perpetual, front and center – not casual or as a trite token gesture or afterthought.

“What we see in 2 Kings 22-23 is totally different than what we see today. Today in what’s falsely called ‘revival’, there is no repentance, no Gospel, no ‘clearing out the sanctuary’, of the idols, and embracing and promoting false teachings that go as far as mysticism and witch craft!!” Khrista

“Bible study on Biblical Revival 2 Kings 22:14-23:27:
Here is the order of events: The prophet(ess) shares a prophecy of judgment. The King repents and intercedes for his people. The Lord hears and delays the judgment for the king’s lifetime. The king gathers all of his people to the Lord’s temple to hear Scripture read out loud. Then the King and his people make (or renew) a covenant with the Lord to follow His decrees and statutes with all of their hearts and minds. Then action is immediately taken (this is faith: belief in action) by clearing out all of the artifacts of pagan gods from the temple. The King defiled all of the high places and tore down the alters of pagan gods where God’s people had previously worshiped Baal, Ashtoreth, and Molech (the god of child sacrifice/abortion).” Renee Courtland

The word “revival” appears nowhere in God’s Word. “Repent”/ “Repentance” appear 72 times. Let’s get a clue. This is a message in and of itself. We don’t need man’s staged “revivals,” we need to repent before a Holy God!

God has not changed (Malachi 3:6; Mark 13:31). Man’s sin has greatly prevented His will and desire to bless, to pour out of His Holy Spirit. His arm is not shortened. When we draw nigh to the LORD, He will draw nigh to us! (READ Isaiah 59:1-2; James 4:8; Jeremiah 5:25; 29:11-14.) We must of absolute necessity come to the lord on His stated terms which begins with true repentance (Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38; 3:19, etc.).

Wicked men have made a multi-million dollar indu$try of “revival” and yet the word nor concept ever appears in Holy Scripture. This is only possible due to the biblical illiteracy of the counterfeits who claim to be saved (Hosea 4:6; Matthew 22:29; 2 Timothy 4:2-4).

“A worldwide revival in the last days is not prophesied in scripture. This is a Vatican, NAR (New Apostolic Reformation), WOF (Word of Faith) false teaching. The Bible teaches there will be great apostasy–a great falling away. Believe the Bible!” Unknown

God Blesses only Where His Written Word is Honored

When God’s Word is honored, thereby, where and when He pours out of His Holy Spirit on His people, it comes in conjunction with His people honoring His Word. Here are but few examples of such:

Nehemiah, Ezra and the elders: When the LORD’s people assembled, they read God’s Word directly to the people (Nehemiah 8).
Josiah: Reform, repentance, crushing idols, and change came as the Word of God was restored to the people (2 Kings 23).
Peter: The apostle preached God’s Word and 8,000 souls were saved (Acts 2, 4).
Jesus: When he went into the gathering of the people, He read from the Bible, the book of Isaiah (Luke 4:17).

Change, Reform Comes Only When God is Honored, Where His Word is Front and Center.

“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 2:2

God uses Consecrated Men

Those He uses are holy. They readily admit their sin and fall on the mercy of the LORD and are then forgiven, refreshed, filled, and mightily used of God! See 2 Timothy 2:21; Isaiah 6; Matthew 21:15-17; Matthew 6:6, etc.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.” 2 Chronicles 7:14-16

Only crucified men are raised up and used of God (2 Corinthians 4:10-12).

The church of Philadelphia were commended by Christ. He said they “hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name” (Revelation 3:8). They kept, stayed strictly with and in His Word and continued to proclaim the name above all names – the name of Jesus!

Real vs Fake “Revival”

If we do see a great outpouring, it won’t be with unholy men such as the recent fake, planned, staged deception some called a “revival” promoted by the Vatican, where sodomites and occult labyrinths are celebrated (Asbury). The LORD judges sin like that. He doesn’t bless it. Where the LORD is truly working, God’s Word will be honored, esteemed, read, preached, communicated (Psalms 138:2). That’s how you will know if it’s “of God” or “NOT of God” (John 8:47). Peter PREACHED the Word on Pentecost and 8k souls were saved (Acts 2, 4). Any questions? The cross of Jesus Christ, His blood, and the cross He mandates that we take up will be preached if it’s a move of God. Phony “praise and worship” and “revival” idols will be slain.

Men, women, and children will seek the LORD in repentance. Souls will repent and be saved. Believers will seek and be baptized in the Holy Ghost as it was on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2, 4).

The following prophetic word from our LORD doesn’t indicate large crowds gathered in one specific place. And that makes sense – as God spreads His wealth (Matthew 9:35-38; Mark 16:15; Acts 8:4, etc.).

Acts 2
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Act 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Act 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Act 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
Act 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“The word revival, a synonym for it is rebirth. Now to be reborn is in the Bible is it not? Our country needs a serious case of rejuvenation. The Holy Spirit needs to set some folks on fire for Jesus.”

REPLY:

Yes God has not changed, and His arm, His power is not shortened or diminished whatsoever (Malachi 3:6;). Repentance is where revival begins. Read Isaiah 59:1-2…. we are NOT waiting on God – He’s waiting on individuals to repent and obey Him. James 4:8

Those not willing to die are unrepentant, loving their darkness, rather than light, rather than the light of truth given us of God in His Word (Psalms 119:105, 130; John 17:17, etc.). They are unrepentant. You can either die to self now in this temporal world, lay down your life and follow Jesus authentically, OR you will die the “second death” as you are cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15).

“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19-21

One disple writes:

“War makes many rich also. Yet the biblically illiterate support it and offer their children to Molech, believing they do God a service thereby. Just like the unsaved, they honor veterans as much as their apostate pastors.

Revivals are un-scriptural yet are so honored by the masses that few if any test (try) the spirits underlying them to know if they are of God or not. Most are content to look on outward appearance to judge, directly contradicting the command of Jesus Christ, who instructed us to ‘Judge righteous judgment’ (John 7:24).”

Jon Crane writes:

“I hear it all the time and I get chided, as if something is wrong with me for not praying for revival in America. Problem is: what is called the church today is under the impression that Americans as a whole are saved and just need reviving. Probably due to hirelings and wolves subtly preaching replacement theology for a long, long time. The remedy will always be the gospel of the kingdom of God, preached, adhered too, and followed daily. For nothing else saves but the blood of Jesus Christ, nothing else redeems or heals us of the disease of sin.”

The Essential Doctrine of Repentance

The Biblical Statement on the Essential Doctrine and Necessity of Repentance – in Life and in the Dispensing of the Original Gospel Message. Though nearly never heard in today’s apostate modern church world, according to Christ’s unchanging original Gospel, repentance is an absolute necessity. Karen Cochran observes: “It doesn’t seem the word repent is part of the Christian’s vocabulary! In the modern church, it’s all about God accepting you the way you are without any requirements to repent and die to self.” Note that in modern churches, “Christian” radio, media, books, the word “repent” is rarely if ever heard. Yet […]

WE don’t qualify to decide right and wrong – what is righteousness and what is sin. God did. “Let God be true, and every man a liar.” Romans 3:4 “God said it, I believe it, That settles it!” […]

Walking with Jesus [podcast]

There are two parts of the cross—the atoning death Jesus alone accomplished on the cross— “It is finished,” and the cross He commanded us to take up daily as we are “crucified WITH” Him. In this second part of the cross, we have died to our old nature and buried it so that we can partake of Christ’s divine nature, as He raises us upward in His grace and power into full victory and fruitfulness in pleasing Him. His divine power which works in us keeps us from the things that displease Him, which He calls sin (John 19:30; Romans 6-8; Galatians […]

Feel Alone Sometimes? The lady who was most instrumental in leading me to Christ, who invited me to the meeting where I was saved, later departed from Christ.

Why would we ever blame our dear LORD and Savior for what mere sinful men do? We must continue to choose God – to love Him with all our being, heart, mind, spirit, and strength. “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God […]

“I Desire Fruit that May Abound to Your Account” [podcast]

“Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” Philippians 4:17

Did you realize that as a born again disciple of Jesus, that you have an “account” in Heaven?

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

Laying up treasure in Heaven and not wasting it on this fleeting life, is the command and the wisdom of God.

“But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.” 1 Chronicles 29:14

To some I would say:

“So let me get this straight…. you attributed your own earnings for your whole life to yourself and so now, how dare someone suggest you allow other saints to help fund God’s work, to lay up treasure in Heaven …..”

“But as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.” 1 Samuel 30:24

Some seem to take offense to anyone receiving help from God’s people… which is 100% selfish and pride filled…. in more than one way:

1. The work is expanded with greater funding;

2. God’s people are laying up treasure in Heaven when they choose to give.

This all seems to indicate that you are far too involved in the “ministry” you are doing. It’s all about you, not Christ.

Think about how Jesus and Paul and John had numerous “fellowhelpers to the truth.” Every member was free and able to function fully in our LORD’s work.

“We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.” 3 John 8

Apparently some bogusly believe, pretend to be more righteous than Jesus and the apostle Paul by denying love offerings to do the work of God.

These men are actually preventing God’s people from laying up treasure in heaven and acting self-righteous about it.

Apparently you seek to be the hero who serves yourself in many ways instead of Christ and others and therefore you wish all of your labor be attributed to your own account in Heaven. Philippians 4:17 says: “Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.”

We give the Gospel “without charge”…. and yet that does not in any way negate all that the Bible says about giving and laying up treasure in Heaven: “What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel” (1 Corinthians 9:18). This would mean that he doesn’t ask for money and yet that doesn’t mean he didn’t receive such help nor that what he taught in verses 1-14 are negated.

Regrettably, there are men doing ministry who are babes in understanding this Bible 101 doctrine of giving, of stewardship.

Isn’t it time we get out of the way and let those sitting on the bench get on the field, participate, lay up treasure in Heaven?

Do we not understand how Christ told us His kingdom works…. that when we give, it connects our hearts closer to Christ and His work? See Matthew 6:21.

Following our heretical beliefs instead of the Bible on this topic of stewardship would have thus far resulted in the deprivation of so very many beloved needy people here in Mexico. It would have cheated them out of many blessings…. food and the Word, salvation, etc.

Remember, such as was the case with the few loaves and fishes. Jesus takes what we give to Him, to His work, and multiplies it. Do the math. John 6. Five thousand men were fed out of 5 loaves and 2 fishes and yet there was much food (more than they began with) left over, surplus (2 Corinthians 9:8; Ephesians 3:20).

“Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.” John 6:13

Regrettably, we have novices who are abandoning the truth of God due to others perverting it….(2 Corinthians 2:17).

Are they making excuse for not giving?

The LORD “giveth us richly all things to enjoy.”

Every good and every perfect gift on this earth is from God and is a mere foretaste of glory divine!

“The living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.” 1 Timothy 6:17

Does God’s Word not warn us that God’s people are to “behold” both “the goodness and the SEVERITY of God” lest we be “cut off”?

“Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” Romans 11:22

LORD, we thank You now for EVERY good and perfect blessing You alone have provided—beginning with the ultimate, the unspeakable, the unfathomable gift of Your only begotten Son who died, was buried, and raised again from the dead to justify us (Romans 4:25)! We love You LORD Jesus!

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” James 1:17

The Harvest is Plentiful, the Laborers Few “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-39 […]

Filling "Your Account" in Heaven! [podcast]

Might you choose to pray as did the apostles? – “Increase our faith” (Luke 17:5). Not only should we ask God to “Increase our faith” but also to teach us to be faithful to Him. God will bless those who are faithful to Him – those who are loyal and serve Him obediently through thick or thin, in riches or poverty, through sunshine or rain. “Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.” Psalms 101:6 Does this verse above remind us […]

Some people are so deep in darkness and therefore blinded that they don’t realize that the work that they do in this world to earn money is not even important compared to the paramount divine work of an elder that God has prepared, sent forth, and is diligently feeding His blood-bought flock. “Remember them which have the rule […]

Hostile Watching vs Grounded Readiness for Christ’s Return [podcast]

So let me get this straight…. we are frantic about the timing of the most anticipated event in human history, the return of Heaven’s King …. yet we don’t love that coming King enough to diligently seek His face and be preoccupied, consumed with serving Him – as we obey Him by daily denying self, taking up the cross, worshipping and executing His Great Commission mandate that He gave us? If this is the case, does it not prove that we are all about ourselves and not the LORD we feign to follow – as in we don’t truly love Him but rather seek to self-preservingly keep ourselves out of hell?

“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, WHEN the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation (hostile watching): 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20-21

Are we frantic about the WHEN and not fervent about seeking, knowing, worshipping, and obeying the WHO? Should we be crying “WHEN?!” OR “WHAT do You want me to do LORD, HOW do You want to use me?!”

The Coming of the Kingdom

“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, WHEN the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.”

In this passage it seems to fit that “observation” refers to hostile, anxious watching. Notice the setting. The Pharisee enemies are demanding “WHEN the kingdom of God should come.” Jesus then answers them and seems to communicate that we are not to seek to determine by physical evidence “WHEN” He’s returning and that “the kingdom of God is within you.” (v21)

Of Jesus’s words in Luke 17:20, the Pulpit commentary notes:

“The kingdom of God cometh not with observation. This answer of our Lord’s may be paraphrased: “The kingdom of God cometh not in conjunction with such observation and watching for external glorious things as now exist among you here. Lo, it will burst upon you suddenly, unawares.” The English word “observation” answers to the signification of the Greek as meaning a singularly anxious watching.”

Our preoccupation should not be with the timing, the exact day or hour of His coming but rather in knowing Him, being rooted and grounded in our abiding relationship with the Savior. Living in readiness (Luke 12:40; 21:34-36). Our relationship with Him, moment by moment is what is most important and determines our present abiding fruitfulness (John 15:1-16) and future place with our coming King.

“Help me Jesus to keep my eye on the prize. You are my exceedingly great reward! And there is none upon the earth I desire more than thee. Those that are yours are preparing their hearts to be with you in glory for ever and ever! Behold Lord you are the God of our salvation!” Karen Cochran

Jesus came and died to give us a relationship with the Father and Himself.

“And this is life eternal (the whole divine reason for it), that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

We must let God be God, letting Him determine the orchestrating and timing of His coming and rather be preoccupied with seeking, loving, knowing, and obeying our coming King.

“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians 3:10

When lightening strikes “EVERY EYE” sees it (Revelation 1:7). Speaks of … He is coming with such force that lights of the whole sky escapes no one. So shall it be when the Author of lightening splits the eastern sky beloved! When Jesus Christ splits the eastern sky no one will miss it.

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:21-27

God knows and is in control of the end of all things, the return of the Son of God.

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew 24:36

We need not run around frantically looking for the coming of the KING and His kingdom because “the kingdom of God is within you.” The domain of the KING is in us—KING-dom! That’s what it means.

The preoccupation of the Heaven bound saint of Christ should be his relationship with King Jesus.

“Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Luke 12:40

Some people are so busy trying to figure out exactly when Jesus is coming back and how the end time events are going to unfold that they aren’t preparing themselves to meet Him! They live in unwarranted anxiety, in hostile watching instead of settling down to know Him and therefore they aren’t ready to meet Jesus nor helping others to be prepared for the soon return of Christ. Fruitfulness comes from an abiding relationship with Christ.

Living in hostility, anxiety and fear destroys present abiding and fruitfulness. Many today jump from one end times ministry to another, fueling their anxiety with speculations. They are perpetually incapacitated from the daily abiding and fruitfulness Jesus ordains (John 15:1-16).

I’ve seen many who spend more time worrying, monitoring and trying in vain to determine what month or day Jesus would return. It seems that those same people are not fervently seeking the face of the LORD, are not evangelizing, do not have their hand to the plow of the Great Commission work of Christ. Rather they are foolishly seeking to play God by frantically attempting to figure out the exact or approximate timing of Jesus’ second coming. And yet they don’t have an heart after God and are therefore not ready for when Jesus returns (Matthew 26:41; Luke 12:40; Ephesians 5:25-27).

God is calling us to settle down and seek His face.

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

“My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.” Psalms 63:8

God is calling us to be anchored in Christ, our “blessed hope.” Titus 2:13

Titus 2 seems to be speaking of our lives, our spiritual state in light of Jesus’ coming.

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:11-15

Hope in Christ, as we truly abide in Him, in the crucified life He ordained, is the “anchor of the soul” of the remnant disciple.

“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;” Hebrews 6:19

“Love this podcast! And the word you used was hysteria. That is exactly what I am seeing. Many want to escape the tribulation out of fear! So if they can somehow figure out when Jesus is coming then maybe they will be able to escape the difficult times ahead! But we know the Bible says we must go through much tribulation to enter the kingdom of heaven. Acts 14:22. So there is no escape. Our job is to continue in the faith, eye on the prize which is Jesus! Always keeping in view the Kingdom of God. Like the 5 wise virgins.” Karen Cochran

The reason people live in fear is that they don’t have the love of God in them, through oneness with, through abiding relationship with Christ, which otherwise cast out all fear.

“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:16-18

Prayer: Father, please ground me in You, establish Your kingdom and fruitfulness in my life. In Jesus’ name, amen.
