Day 5. – Being Revived through The Working of His Spirit
Shabbat Shalom Prayer Partners & Faith Fellows
EVENING DEVOTION
Rev 22:16 – 18
(16) “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
(17) And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
(18) For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book:
Let us trust God that by His Spirit He will revive this nation, these people and bring His remnant together – to give us a measure of revival, even in this time of uncertainty.
Ezr 9:8
(8) And now for a little while grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage.
Let us ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to us the things of God. That our faith-life can be relevant & authentic from the heart of God in this day & hour – effective out there where HE sends us.
1Co 2:11-12
(11) For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. (12) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
Let us revisit the purpose of the diversity of the Gifts to flow through all of us for the profit of all.
1Co 12:6-7
(6) And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
(7) But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
Let us stir up the message of repentance, baptism in the Holy Spirit to stand up in a new life in Christ; that many can now come in & be added to the Household of God.
Act 2:38-41
(38) Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
(39) For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
(40) …”Be saved from this perverse generation.” (41) Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
Let us pursue God for His message of HOPE to infiltrate the heart of every man, women & child. To experience the joy & peace through the experience of new found revelation of Faith. Now in this time that we seek & petition God for the Revival-Fires to be lit again.
Rom 15:11-12
(11) And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise Him! [Psa 117:1]
(12) And further Isaiah says, There shall be a Sprout from the Root of Jesse, He Who rises to rule over the Gentiles; in Him shall the Gentiles hope. [Isa 11:1, 10; Rev 5:5; Rev 22:16]
Psa 117:1-2
(1) Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!
(2) For His merciful kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!
Know That The Lord Is Marvelous in All HIs Ways . Faithful to Who He IS.
Isa 11:1-5
(1) There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
(2) The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
(3) His delight is in the fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;
(4) But with righteousness He shall judge the poor. And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth. And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
(5) Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist.
Praying a Shabbat blessing over you :

Thank Your Lord, for the sending us the Holy Spirit and the endowment of all His attributes, gifts, helps in strengthening us towards greater faith through the righteousness, peace & joy in the Holy Spirit.
