So Which Is It?

Beloved:

REVIVAL! “Times of Refreshing from the Presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19). Most of God’s People DESIRE “Times of Refreshing”, but Very FEW are DESPERATE for “The Presence of the Lord.” We MUST learn the SPIRITUAL TRUTH that REVIVAL NEVER COMES from DESIRE but ALWAYS from DESPERATION! So…as GOD’S PEOPLE we must realize to DESIRE THE BLESSING (“Times of Refreshing”) is NOT enough. We MUST become DESPERATE for THE BLESSER (“The Presence of The Lord”). Psalm 63:1 (KJV): “O GOD, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is.” SO WHICH IS IT?...DESIRE OR DESPERATION on our part?

MAY THIS EVER BE OUR TESTIMONY…

“I am a part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed. The dye has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am A DISCIPLE OF THE LORD JESUS! I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I am finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, tame visions, chinchy giving and dwarfed goals. I now live by faith, lift by prayer and labor by HIS POWER.

My course is set, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my GUIDE reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I am A DISCIPLE OF JESUS…I MUST GO TILL HE COMES!” GLORY, GLORY, GLORY!!!

BELOVED, Please KNOW that YOU are loved by this Preacher. Thank YOU for YOUR STEADFAST HELP.

Now a word from HIS WORD: “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:27, KJV).
