Revival

Let’s start praying for a spirit of revival and a soul saving campaign to break forth at Northwest! Every church body needs more than a calendared revival which is just a series of scheduled services. What is needed is an old fashion outpouring of the Holy Spirit and that only comes by fasting, praying and crying out to God for lost souls and needs in the body and surrounding communities. I believe people hungered for a revival of sanctification in 1886, 1896 and until 1906 when the Baptism of the Holy Spirit was poured out in the foothills of Tennessee, North Carolina and California. God wants to bless a people who will hunger and thirst after righteousness. When revival came to the Church of God in 1896 it was recorded “Lives that had been disorderly became upright; men who had been violent became meek; drunkards quit their drinking and gamblers their gambling.” NW and all Bible believing churches need that kind of revival! I encourage you during the month of September pick a day to fast, pray, and call out to God for a mighty move that will stir the heart of “Casual Church Attendees, Pew Warmers, Non-tithers, Seekers of Fellowship instead of Seekers of God, and Lost souls above all else.” I capitalize their names for surely they are classified as nouns and have distinctive names. Let’s bind together and bathe September with Prayer; I love you. You are welcome to attend Tuesday Morning Prayer at 10:00 in the Church Atrium. You are covered with my prayers.

Love and prayers,

~ Pastor Roberts
