ALABAMA COMMISSION ON EVANGELISM July-Aug2008
Our prayers and love go out to fellow Evangelist Mason Corwin whose wife Leigh entered the Presence of Jesus in May. Please continue to hold Mason and his daughter up to the Lord for strength and encouragement for the days ahead.
Most everywhere I travel across Alabama there is a fresh wind of revival blowing in our Fellowship! New people are being saved, backsliders are coming back to Jesus; people are being baptized in the Holy Spirit are healings are taking place!
I said most everywhere because there are still areas that God needs to touch in a dramatic way!
In last months Messenger I wrote a piece Jonathan Edwards wrote many years ago on how we can know we are having a real revival experience. The Assemblies of God was birthed in revival fire! Many within some Full Gospel circles have stated that’s just not the way God is moving, or will move today. If that is so, then you must remove Joel 2:28 and Acts 2:17, 18 from the Bible!
I believe God is calling the Assemblies of God, especially the Alabama District Council of the Assemblies of God to not only lead the nation in Alphabetical order; but in the spiritual order of repentance, prayer, seeking God’s face; turning from our own ways to allow His ways and His Kingdom to come; and to see His will to be done on earth like it is in heaven!
In 1904, all Wales was aflame with revival. The nation had drifted far from God. Spiritual conditions were at their lowest. Church attendance was poor and practices of immorality and sinful indulgence abounded on every hand. Suddenly through the power of prayer, like and unexpected tornado, the power of God moved in and swept over the land. Churches were crowded with three services every day lasting from 10am till midnight. Evan Roberts was the human instrument God used to turn the tide of revival.
May we yield ourselves to God in such a was that Alabama will no longer be known for our college football teams; but that we will be known by the Flame of the Holy Spirit and Evangelism that’s burns to the nations of the world!
