Repentance Revival Healing | Break Up The Fallow Ground

By Pastor Dennis Williams

Psalm 85:6: Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Revival is to restore, recover, or to repair
• Restoration of joy, liveliness, and strength
• Restore hunger for truth and holiness of the Word of God
• To the believer, the Body of Christ
• So the world will know Jesus Christ is Lord
THE BIBLE TELLS US TO BREAK UP THE FALLOW GROUND
Hosea 10:12 says: Sow to yourself in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Lord till He come and reign righteousness upon you.
Jeremiah 4:3: For thus saith, the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Fallow ground:has once been tilled but has gotten hard, and now lies waste. This ground has to be broken up and cleared of thorns and weeds before sowing seeds in it again.
THESE PROPHETS ARE SAYING: Break off your evil ways, repent of your sins, cease to do evil, and then the good seed of the word will have room to grow and bear fruit.

WE AS THE BODY OF CHRIST AND AS A NATION NEED A REVIVAL
Acts 3:19: Repent ye, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
• To have that refreshing
• The prophet John the Baptist said:
• Bring forth fruits meet for repentance: Matt 3:8,
o Or Bring forth fruits worthy of repentance
o Or to show that you are repentant
o Repentance is a turning away from
• Jesus said: His followers are known by their fruit – Matt 7:20
• The fruit of the Spirit is in Galatians 5
o Violence and fighting are not among the fruits of the Spirit
o They are works of the flesh

Romans 8:1: There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Vs. 5. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Vs.7 Because the carnal mind is enmity(hostile) against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Vs.8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
• The flesh or carnal nature of people is hostile
• The flesh not subject to the Law of God

THE BIBLE TELLS US TO PRAY FOR THE LEADERS OF OUR COUNTRY THAT WE MAY LIVE IN PEACE
1 Timothy 2: 1-4: 1 I exhort (encourage) therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;2 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
• Doesn’t say if you agree or like them to pray for them
• The encouragement is to pray for them.
o “that we may live a quiet and peaceable life.”
o Presently in our Nation, we have not experienced peace or quiet
• NOWHERE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT ARE CHRISTIANS TOLD TO:
 Physically fight for the cause of justice and peace
 Any Christian that becomes part of physical violence:
• Promotes it
• Or glad that it happens
• Or thinks it needs to happen
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET ON YOUR FACE IN PRAYER AND FASTING BEFORE THE LORD
• Get right with Jesus
• He is coming soon!
He is coming like a thief to those that are not looking for Him

OUR ENEMY IS SPIRITUAL WE FIGHT WITH SPIRITUAL WEAPONS
2 Corinthians10:3-5:For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

USE THE NAME OF JESUS ANOTHER POWERFUL WEAPON
Proverbs: 18:10: The name of the Lord is a strong tower the righteous runneth into it and is safe.
Matthew 28:18:And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
JESUS GAVE US AUTHORITY TO USE HIS NAME
Mark 16:17-18: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


Give your heart to Jesus today by saying this prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Please, help me to live for you the rest of this life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.

Prayer and Fasting Rocket Booster | Keep Under Your Body

By Pastor Dennis Williams

1 Corinthians 9:27: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

PRAYER AND FASTING ARE SUPERNATURAL AND BENEFIT US AS HUMAN BEINGS WHILE ON THIS EARTH
• But Stay in the Bible
• Or you may get on the wrong road
• DON’T SEEK THE SUPERNATURAL
o The Devil can give it to you
• SEEK JESUS NOT THE SUPERNATURAL
• Many a Christian has gotten messed up
o With Angels of Light
o False Holy Ghost voice
o Another Jesus and Another Gospel
2 Corinthians 11:4: For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Galatians 1:6-9 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:7 Which is not another, but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

JESUS ENCOURAGED US TO GENUINE AND SINCERE WHEN DOING SPIRITUAL THINGS
JESUS ENCOURAGED US TO PRAY IN
Matthew 6:5-6: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you; they have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
• This verse is not against praying in Public
• The issue in these scriptures is not where but why
• We do spiritual things towards the Lord
• Not for recognition or praise of people
• This type of recognition or praise is your “reward.”
JESUS ENCOURAGED US TO FAST IN:
Matthew 6:17-18: But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head and wash thy face;18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
The rest of those verses say: vs.19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
• Is our focus on the treasures and pleasures of this earth?
• Things that make us feel good
• Things that taste good
FASTING IS ABOUT DENYING OURSELVES FOR PERIODS OF TIME
• Some of these pleasures and treasures
• And focus on our spirit man and our relationship with the Lord
• Not for a selfish reason like “losing weight.”
• But to get closer to the Lord

Proverbs 25:28 – He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls.


Give your heart to Jesus today by saying this prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Please, help me to live for you the rest of this life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.

Mountain of Sin Crushed | No Longer a Slave to Sin

By Pastor Dennis Williams

AFTER JESUS WE ARE NO LONGER SUPPOSE TO BE SLAVES TO SIN

Romans 6:6: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye, not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (reprobate: having or showing no moral principles, corrupt, hardened, perverted, sinful, lewd, rude)
• We cannot change all by ourselves
• Only Jesus can make the change from inside out
• Only Jesus can change our friends and family
o We can’t fix them – Only Jesus can
We have to rely on the Lord and His righteousness

Philippians 3:8-9: Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
• Don’t let guilt from the evil one hold you back
• If you feel that you have failed God
• He is there to pick you up again
• BIG SIN may have bound you
• Jesus Blood paid the price for it all

SIN WILL MAKE YOU FEEL SEPARATED FROM GOD
Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
THE BIBLE SAYS DYING IN SIN IS ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD
Rev 20:15: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

• Don’t sin because you have forgiveness
• Quickly get your sin under the Blood of Jesus
• Repent and turn from your sin
• Don’t let sin a mountain of sin build up

1 John 2:1-6 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.3 And hereby we do know that we know him if we keep his commandments.4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth, not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

BECAUSE OF BEING BORN IN SIN, WE NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN
John 3:3: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
• We are spiritually dead before Jesus
• And cannot receive the New Life
• We ask Jesus for this new life
Romans 10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.


Give your heart to Jesus today by saying this prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Please, help me to live for you the rest of this life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.

Start Strong And End Strong | Steadfast and Unmovable

By Pastor Dennis Williams

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so, fight I, not as one that beateth the air:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

WHEN RUNNING IN THE RACE OF LIFE:
PHYSICAL READINESS AND SPIRITUAL READINESS ARE IMPORTANT
• We should not neglect our physical bodies
1 Corinthians 6:19-20: What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
To be effective as Christians, our body, soul, and spirit are essential

  •  Drink water
  • Get a consistent amount of sleep daily
  • And eat as healthy as you can
  •  As you age, these things are more important
  • It is never too late to start
  • Take care of your whole body, soul, and spirit
  • For your spirit man: stay in the Bible and prayer
  • So you can run this race (of life) with endurance

SO, WE CAN SAY AS CHRISTIANS:OUR GOAL IN THE LONG DISTANT RUN CALLED “LIFE”

  • Is to finish life’s race
  • And stand at the judgment seat of Christ
  • And receive what the Lord has for us (he has many surprises for us)

One of those prizes is in:
2 Tim 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

THE LORD WANTS US NOT TO BECOME WEARY IN WELL DOING, BUT KEEP RUNNING THE RACE
Galatians 6:9: And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
WEARY: WORN OUT, BURNED OUT, BEATEN, TIRED AND EXHAUSTED
WE GET WEARY DURING:

  • Discouragement with life in general
  • Financial situations
  • Negative People
  • Outside and inside pressures
  • Stress and Anxiety
  • The test of our faith
  • Lack of answers to our prayers

YOU MAY BE TEMPTED TO QUIT BUT DON’T QUIT

  • Keep running the race: “for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.”
  • Keep sowing the seed of the Word of God in your heart
  • Build your faith
  • Keep developing your Christian Character

Ro 5:3-4 : 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
1 Corinthians 15:57-58 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
• BE STEADFAST: stable, faithful, loyal, fixed, unmovable, firm in what you believe
SEEK TO BE SPIRITUALLY STABLE AND FIRM IN YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD

  • Attend to your own spiritual life
  • Don’t become overburdened with too many of life’s issues
  • Various trials and tribulations

Give your heart to Jesus today by saying this prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Please, help me to live for you the rest of this life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.
