Word of the Day: Do you know what it means to be a Christian?

Many people go to church and believe in God. But being a Christian is more than that. A True Christian believes that Jesus Christ died for their sins and rose again to give them eternal life. They repent of their sins and dedicate their entire life to Jesus. When this happens, the Christian receives Jesus into their heart and has a new life!

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Romans 10:9-10

So, if you haven't had a real encounter with Jesus yet, pray and ask Him to become the Lord and Savior of your life. Confess your failures, everything you've done and know is wrong. Talk to Him and receive His love and forgiveness. Christ is waiting with open arms for you to come to Him. Don't let another day pass without surrendering your life to God! In Him, you will find true life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23

Remember all that Christ did for you, his death on the cross, his love for you. With all this in mind, have you dedicated your life to Jesus?

God Is Thinking of You

Right now, God has you in His thoughts. Have you ever stopped to think about that? God has a plan for your life, He is thinking about you in everything He does.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand -
when I awake, I am still with you.

- Psalm 139:17-18

Every single thing that happens, whether good or bad, God knows! Yes, it shows an incomprehensible depth and abundance of God's thoughts toward us and an intimate understanding of us. Such a vast sum of thoughts, that the psalmist likens them to countless grains of sand. God's love and concern for His people have no limits. His God's thoughts toward us are constant, unwavering, and immeasurable, extending beyond our comprehension.

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

- Luke 12:6-7

Jesus also highlights God's intimate knowledge and care for His creation, when he mentions the sparrows in Luke 12. He emphasizes that not one sparrow is forgotten by God and that even the very hairs of our heads are known about. The knowledge and understanding of us is so meticulous and detailed that it could only belong to the one who created us. Not only this, but it reinforces the idea that God has a care for us that is deep, personal, and comprehensive.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Revival begins like this...

On the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus' disciples, there was a great revival. It began with prayer. That's how every revival begins, God's people praying and calling out to God asking for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Revival is not necessarily immediate, it may take days, weeks, or even years, but when we pray and don't give up, God listens to us and brings revival. And in moments of waiting and persistence, God is not idle - he is at work shaping our character and preparing the ground for a revival that will extend beyond us and will impact our communities and nations.

2"Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting."
[...]

16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 "In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy."
[...]
21 "And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved."

- Acts 2:2, 16-18, 21

Do you pray for revival?

We should be praying continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17). This is the recommendation of the Apostle Paul in the Bible because he knew the power of prayer. In his life, he also experienced the power of revival. Seek the Lord daily through prayer and Bible reading, and you will see wonderful things happen in your life!

Pray earnestly, stay rooted in the Word, and anticipate the wondrous things that God will unfold in response to the cries of His people.

28 “And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

- Joel 2:28-29

Seek revival and experience God's transforming power!
