The Cloud!

Beloved:

I am TOTALLY CONVINCED that the HOPE for the Future is NOT in the Church multiplying her ACTIVITIES, but in her PURIFYING HER HEART… RENEWING HER DEVOTION and CLARIFYING HER MISSION.

TRUE there have been periods in Church History when her FAITH was not CONQUERING, her PASSION not HOLY, her JOY not CONTAGIOUS and her SERVICE not HEROIC…But then, PRAISE HIS NAME, GOD sent TRUE REVIVAL to HIS CHURCH. The RESULTS??... Light broke, Blessings came, her soul Restored (Psalm 23:3) and the Spiritual deserts were once again made to BLOSSOM. And now Beloved, Rejoice in this. What has been done, can be done!! “For the Lord’s arm is not shortened, neither is His ear heavy” (Isaiah 59:1).

How is TRUE REVIVAL POSSIBLE? Listen to Moses. He said it was THE CLOUD and ONLY THE CLOUD that God’s People needed. While TODAY’S RELIGIOUS LEADERS are SEMINARING the church to death in their attempts to attract the CROWDS, Moses was concerned for ONE THING―THE CLOUD! Moses knew the CROWD was at best NOTHING more than a RELIGIOUS CIRCUS (and it does not matter how well known the RINGMASTER is) WITHOUT THE CLOUD. All the ACTIVITIES to ATTRACT Crowds to our Churches are in VAIN…unless the CLOUD is present! For you see, THE CLOUD in the Book of Exodus is symbolic of GOD’S PRESENCE! GOD’S REAL PRESENCE MUST RETURN TO CHURCH LIFE before we ever again make a SPIRITUAL IMPACT upon today’s generation!

Moses had it RIGHT when he said in Exodus 33:15: “...and he said unto HIM, If thy PRESENCE go not with me, carry us not hence.” If we could only make this TRUTH the HEART CRY OF the CHURCH TODAY…REVIVAL would be underway.

Beloved, please KNOW that YOU are loved by this Preacher. Thank YOU for YOUR Steadfast Support of Love, Prayer and Gifts to this REVIVAL MINISTRY.

Now a word from HIS WORD: “Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the CLOUD abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: But if the CLOUD were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. For the CLOUD of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys”―Exodus 40:34-38 (KJV).
