Revival in the Midwest

Church members from Denton UMC will be heading to Fort Scott, Kansas to unite in prayer and worship on Sunday. They will be praying for the church and that God will revive their quenched hearts and provide healing for their souls. I am excited for this opportunity, because Eric will be facilitating the worship service and praying with many people for God to touch their heart. Would you join me in praying for a Word from God? Would you join me in praying expectantly for the Holy Spirit to move in an awesome and powerful way so that no one can deny God's power and grace?

I am going on Sunday expecting that God will show up and that he will bring a fresh Word. I know that he has already ordained this important meeting with other believers of Christ and we are praying that the lost and hungry people who need to hear about Jesus will show up as well. I am looking forward to the praise and worship that we will experience and can not wait for the healing that God will bring to my heart and many others. Thank you in advance for your prayers for this revival and I hope that God will bless you for your faith.

I love this verse and it speaks to me about God's faithfulness and promise to a chosen generation, no matter how rebellious we are:

So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the LORD had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the LORD. And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation."

Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. "O Lord, if I have found favor in your eyes," he said, "then let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as your inheritance."

Exodus 34:4-9 (New International Version)
