God is on the move! Revival is happening.
Spiritual awakening is coming!
Baptisms are rising. LRBA churches baptized 83 people in 2021 and 182 people were recorded in 2022. Wow, almost 100 more. Praise the Lord. Praying we will double this in 2023.
Just imagine what might take place this year and with “Fill the Tank” Global Baptism Sunday, April 16 as churches all over the world pray and plan to baptize new believers!
I know many of you have people to baptize already and are reaching new people every day.
We have seen revival taking place at Asbury College and other college campuses around the country over the last few months. Why not here, why not now!
I hope you have seen the www.JesusRevolution.movie It is an accurate and great historical account of the Jesus movement revival that swept the United States in the early 1970s.
Now 50 years later, we’re starting to see God move again and it could not come at a better time as our economy is in question and the world political climate is apocalyptic. God is on his throne and He is coming back! People are spiritually hungry and have lots of questions about God.
Now is an exciting time to pray, to reach out, to share your faith, to invite people to church, and to celebrate Easter. Churches more than ever are prayer walking, inviting people to church and seeing God move in an incredible way.
A friend of mine, Jason Kilby, pastor of Centerpoint Church in Danville, Kentucky is experiencing revival as well. They planned to baptize 12 people last Sunday, and before the service was over an additional 10 people confessed Christ and were baptize for a total of 22 people. Jason was looking for and praying for God to move beyond his imagination so he took extra towels and extra soccer shorts, and God used all of them. We need to expect God to do the “exceedingly abundantly” (Ephesian 3:20) in our churches.
Pastor Craig Hamlin, who we went to Israel with recently, said on March 19th they had 55 people join their church on one day at FBC Peachtree City, Georgia. God is moving on hearts and drawing people to himself all over the world. Pastor Scott Yow just returned from the Philippines where he saw hundreds of people give their lives to Christ. Scott said, “I’ve NEVER witnessed anything like it. EVER!”
God answered the prophet Habakkuk’s prayer for help in Habakkuk 1:5 with “Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” See Habakkuk 1 for entire context.
May the Lord God Almighty pour out His spirit on your church, Harnett County and the LRBA area for His glory and fame. May His kingdom come and His will be done in your life!
Please let us know how many you baptize on April 16 and in all of April!
