Weekend Review

It is a blessing to be able to be back in SC this week in revival. The services in Seneca were very wonderful yesterday. Some people received Christ in the morning service as well as others who rededicated their lives to Christ. I could sense the change in the atmosphere in the service as the presence of the Spirit began to touch the lives of many people who were in church yesterday. The hearts of many were made tender by the anointing of the Spirit; their faces began to reflect the drawing power of God's love as He began to remind people that He is truly interested in their lives. Last evening's service was anointed in a powerful way as many people responded to the invitation at the close of the message. God is releasing His presence among His people and He is releasing His ministering strength in the midst of all the challenges that we are facing. We need to recognize the presence of God when we gather for corporate worship and respond to the call of the Spirit. God is calling us to understand the difference between what we want and what we need from God. Many times we can become discontented in our walk with God if we feel that He is not meeting our needs. But it is possible some of these "needs" are really things that we want that will make our lives more comfortable or comparable with others that are around us. It is so easy to become captured by the attitude of comparison. We compare our status, our possessions, our finances, etc and out of these comparisons arise discontent that can lead us to feel discouraged about God's provision for our lives. But we need to remember the great promise of God, "But God shall supply all of our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." God provides daily provision for our lives as we continue to trust Him and seek Him with passion and surrender. Do not become captured by looking at other people; but allow your heart to be encouraged as you look to God to be your daily Provider. We must learn to focus on God and thank Him for His daily blessings that He bestows on your life.
