Isaiah 64

What can WE do to see revival come? We can plead with the Lord for a visitation. Nobody comes to the Lord except the Spirit draws him.

Let’s pray for an irresistible pull from God’s Holy Spirit that brings all we care about to a salvation moment with Christ.

A good friend of mine passed yesterday. Daryl Sanders and I started Zion Christian Fellowship in 1984 in Columbus. Ohio. R.I.P.

Isaiah 61

It must have been an exciting day that Jesus stood up to read Isaiah’s words, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.” According to Luke 4, it happened in the synagogue in Nazareth, Christ’s hometown.

My tour of the Holy Land did not include a stop in Nazareth, but we did sit in the synagogue in Capernaum, which probably had a similar feel.

The importance is not in historical correctness. It’s in what happens in our hearts as we read or hear those Words. His Spirit is ALIVE, and it’s IN US.

Isaiah 58

This passage is the most complete scripture on the subject of fasting. It’s most appealing when we read of the powerful impact fasting can have.

Self denial chastens our flesh, but registers loudly in Heaven. We need more of it.

Isaiah 55

Tha prophet declared, “All who are thirsty, come.”

Some of those I pray for don’t appear to want or need to come closer to God. I will hereby adjust my prayer to seek that they will develop a consuming thirst for the Lord. On the surface, they appear content. My aim is below the surface to their deepest human needs and desires.

The Lord deals with hearts. [Ps. 7:9]
