REVIVE US AGAIN! – 2 Chronicles 7:14 Devotional

by | May 3, 2024 | 2 Chronicles

Listen to Today's Evotional

REVIVE US AGAIN​​!

2 Chronicles 7:14 – Devotional

2 Chronicles 7:14

“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.“

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Back in the 70’s, I was an associate pastor of a large church. One Sunday, just before the service an elderly lady collapsed in the aisle near the rear of the church. I was just entering and observed one of our members, a medical doctor, doing chest compressions on the little lady.

When he saw me, he immediately called me over and told me to take over while he checked her for vital signs. It was the first and only time I have ever felt my hands repeatedly crush down on a person’s chest to keep the heart pumping blood throughout the body. It is an awesome and fearful experience. (By-the-way, the lady survived this traumatic ordeal after a few days in the hospital.)

There are people around us who seem to be in spiritual cardiac arrest. We see them stagger and collapse. The question is how we are going to respond. Do we wring our hands and cluck our tongue, or do we dive in to give spiritual restoration? Today’s Scripture provides the steps to revival. Back in 1863, William P. Mackey wrote the words to this week’s hymn.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Revive Us Again

We praise Thee, O God! For the Son of Thy love,
For Jesus Who died, And is now gone above.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

We praise Thee, O God! For Thy Spirit of light,
Who hath shown us our Savior, And scattered our night.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

All glory and praise! To the Lamb that was slain,
Who hath borne all our sins, And hath cleansed every stain.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

All glory and praise! To the God of all grace,
Who hast brought us, and sought us, And guided our ways.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

Revive us again; Fill each heart with Thy love;
May each soul be rekindled, With fire from above.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE! – Luke 12:18-19 Devotional

by | May 2, 2024 | Luke

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE​!

Luke 12:18-19 – Devotional

Luke 12:18-19

“So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.'”

Since I have astigmatism that can only be corrected with glasses, I have had to wear them most of my life (a long, long time). Over the years I have heard people talk about being near sighted and even once worked for a near-sighted Probate Court Judge (his vision was great while reading or seeing anything close up).

He was telling a group of us about being fitted for glasses when he was in his 20’s–it was almost a shock to his senses that he could actually read house numbers from the street! He had no idea that this was what people with normal eyesight were able to see.

Isn’t it tragic that most people on the face of the earth are spiritually near sighted? They see only those things that are part of the here and now, but fail to perceive that the hear and now is but a vapor compared to the vast reality of eternity.

Satan has blinded the eyes of the unregenerate so that they refuse to consider that eternity is merely a heartbeat away. The things of this life will quickly be gone and only those who have received Jesus Christ by personal invitation will enter into the home he has prepared for those who’s names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Are you near sighted or far sighted?

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!

WALKING IN VICTORY! – Matthew 28:17-20 Devotional

by | May 1, 2024 | Matthew

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WALKING IN VICTORY​!

Matthew 28:17-20 – Devotional

Matthew 28:17-20

“When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.“

In high school I played on the football team, and in my senior year we were very successful—UNDEFEATED, IN FACT. I recall coming home after practice so tired an sore that I could hardly move. All of the hours of exercise and practice, however, resulted in each victory we achieved.

It was rather humorous to hear the shouts of victory from the sidelines, “WE WON! WE WON!” our supporters had not experienced the pain we endured, but they shared the victory. We gladly welcomed their joyful shouts of victory.

On the cross Jesus won the victory over the hold that Satan had over fallen man. The moment His life’s blood flowed from His precious innocent body the price was paid for our redemption! It is nothing that we have done or ever could do that won the victory over the enemy . . . but Jesus gained the victory.

Following His crucifixion, Jesus rose from the tomb and appeared to hundreds of people. Some of His followers identified with His victory, but there were some who doubted. Amazing! He had foretold what He was going to do and He did it!

They still question the reality of His resurrection. I don’t want to be a part of that doubting croud. I WANT TO BE ONE OF THOSE WHO CHOOSE VICTORY IN JESUS!

It’s interesting to note that many who enter into serious research to disprove Jesus’ resurrection end up becoming believers.

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!

GOD’S CONDITIONAL CLAUSE! – 2 Chronicles 7:14 Devotional

by | Apr 30, 2024 | 2 Chronicles

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD’S CONDITIONAL CLAUSE​!

2 Chronicles 7:14 – Devotional

2 Chronicles 7:14

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.“

Over the years I have stood before interview boards that were in the process of interviewing me for a particular position or promotion. They were the ones who were placing before me the conditions that were to be expected. I was the one who would be expected to comply.

Many times we read about those individuals who have a “foxhole commitment.” They try to place conditions on the Lord, promising to follow Him IF He will get them out of their current predicament. (That “commitment” is not always restricted to wartime battle conditions. We are prone to pray that type of prayer in all sorts of situations.)

We see that today’s Scripture is addressed to believers. Oh, and might I add there is a conditional clause attached to it. We are God’s people and we are the ones who must humble ourselves, pray, seek God’s face and turn from our wicked ways. I pray we will respond in a positive way to God’s CONDITIONAL CLAUSE!

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!
