Don't plead with God!


We need revival, pray " Dear Merciful and Loving Lord God, I know that you desire revival.  Please help me to be the person who is a vessel of Your Love and Power which I need to be!  "  I yield myself...
But we do not need to beg and plead...  You do not have to bargain with God to be
ing His Blessing to pass!

Then how can this come to pass?

Well it is not because God has not poured out His Spirit.

He is saying something like this:
 " Is there anyone who will believe Me?
Is there anyone who will stand up and start speaking , living and demonstrating My Word? "

If we {you} would just do this then you would see more revival you can handle; because people's lives would be changed as people come to live the true Gospel!

Most of our problems  are because we have not taken Him at His Word.  We haven't been operating in the authority which was given to us...  We have shirked our responsibility by trying to throw it all back on God.  

Yet this is not the model that we have seen in the New Testament!!

Jesus never told us to plead with God to heal, or pour out His Spirit.   Check your Bible and you will not find any example of such in Christ ministry nor of the Apostles!  They did not plead or do " spiritual warfare " ...
 No they preached and demonstrated the Truth of the Gospel of Christ! 

They preached the Truth of God and used that Truth to set people free...

" They went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word with signs following."   -  Mark 16:20


I want to challenge your thinking! 

Show me where you find in the New Testament where we are to send people to foreign countries to do nothing but just pray...  Show where in the Word of God it says we should send people on mission trips but forbid them to preach the Gospel  - " Because you might get censored, punished or persecuted."

What you will find where believers prayed with boldness: 

 " Now, Lord, behold their teachings; and grant unto your servants,  with all boldness they may speak your word, by stretching forth your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of your Holy child Jesus. "  Acts 4:29-30
