Preparing for revival
The 10 P’s Of Preparation
1 Corinthians 14:7-8 - Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played? For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?
There are sounds that are coming from the throne of God that is directing the church today. It is important that we interpret these sounds and implement the right preparation plans for this season.
1. People
Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
God loves people. God loves the nations. God advances His Kingdom through people
2. Place
Hebrews 10:25 - Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
God has designed the church to be a place where we are safe. When you are in the right place you will hear the right things and then you will do the right things.
3. Plan
Ephesians 4:11-13 - And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
God gives us anointed leaders to equip us for the work of the ministry.
4. Purpose
Luke 4:17-19 - And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me….
Find your divine purpose and fulfill it.
5. Power
Acts 1:8 - But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
We are powered by the Spirit to perform supernatural ministry. It is God’s power and not our human strength.
6. Pursuit
Isaiah 61:1-3 - The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because……
God wants us to move forward. If you chase God, every desire that you have, will be fulfilled. When you find your purpose, pursue with everything you have
7. Principles
Psalm 119:4 - You have commanded us To keep Your precepts diligently.
There are principles of God. Your life will rise or fall depending on what principles you apply. If the principles that you apply in your life are not Godly principles or Godly standards and to His precepts, then your life will fall.
8. Prayer
James 5:16 - The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Prayer is being able to speak to God and to be able to let Him speak back to you.
9. Participation
1 Corinthians 12:7 - But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all
He has given you gifts and God wants you to participate in His plan. God wants you to be active in the things of God. And He wants you to use what He has given you so that you can build the Kingdom of God.
10. Promise
Proverbs 13:22 - A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.
Everything God has is yours. That is the covenant that we have. Everything that you do for God builds His kingdom and also builds your future. We are free to present ourselves before God so that He can use us.
