Thankful Thursday -God will open up a window to Heaven





"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it." 
Malachi 3:10

Do you struggle with selfishness? 

Do you struggle with not wanting to give all that you are to God? 

Do you hold back that one part of you out of fear of what He may ask you to do with it? 

Do you fear what path He may take you down? 

Oh sweet friend, give Him all that you are. Give Him the part of you that scares you the most. 

He WILL turn it into something beautiful and will pour out blessings so much more than you could ever imagine!

This weekend, Sept 21st & 22nd, a group of ladies who felt God calling them to give all that they are and all that they have will be watching as GOD OPENS UP A WINDOW TO HEAVEN AND POURS DOWN BLESSINGS! 

We have prayed for 2 years for God to bring revival to our corner of the world and that the revival we experience will spread throughout the world.

This Friday & Saturday Anne Graham Lotz will lead Just Give Me Jesus Augusta in Augusta, Georgia. We invite you to join us in Augusta, Georgia at the James Brown Arena. If you can't make it in person we invite you to join us right where you are. You can go to the AnGeL Ministries website to find out how you can experience Just Give Me Jesus in the comfort of your own home.

Fernando Ortega, Sheila Bailey & Babbie Mason will join Anne Graham Lotz for Just Give Me Jesus Augusta.

Just Give Me Jesus Augusta - The Way of Revival part 2


“Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.
Every valley shall be filled in,
Every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth.
And all mankind will see God’s salvation.”
Luke 3:4-6
Last week we studied John the Baptist’s “Challenge to Revival”, discussed by Stephen Olford in his book Heart Cry for Revival. This week we will look at the conditions needed for revival.
“Every valley shall be filled in,…”
“Valleys are depressions and divisions in the earth’s surface, and as such symbolize aspects of defeat in the believer’s life.”
Do you have depressions and divisions in your life? Do you harbor resentment, bitterness & jealousy? Are you moody and easily lose your temper? Are you exclusive in your friendships or relationships within your church?
These are all depressions and divisions in your life which can be filled by the Holy Spirit, “…Instead, be filled with the Spirit” Ephesians 5:18. “It is only when the Holy Spirit fills the life of a believer that the depressions are mastered and the divisions are mended.”
“Every mountain and hill made low.”
Do you have mountains of disbelief that keep you from experiencing God’s blessings? In Matthew 17:20 Jesus tells us “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain. ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” We must have the faith to trust God will do what He says He will do. He is a mighty and powerful God!
“The crooked roads shall become straight,…”
We must search our lives and face our dishonesties.
·      “…dishonesty of lying …how many times a day do you lie in thought, word or deed?”
·      “…dishonesty of hypocrisy – pretending to be what you are not in your prayer, confession, testimony and life.”
·      “…dishonesty of robbing God of energy, by means of misspent money and squandered hours.”

“…the rough ways smooth.”
“Is your personal life out of place or out of adjustment with the will of God?”
·      What are you like when no one else is looking? Is your family life in line with God’s desires?
·      Are you in line with God’s will in your church life? Are you faithfully serving where God has called you? Are you in harmony with fellow Christians?
·      Does your social life honor God?
·      Are you ethically following God in your work life?
“Until you get right with God He will neither hear you nor bless you.” What adjustments do you need to make in order to get right with God? Jesus tells us in Revelation 2:5 “Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.”
“And all mankind will see God’s salvation.”
When we have fully prepared ourselves our eyes will see God’s salvation. When the conditions are filled God will show us His vision for the whole word to receive His over-flowing blessing of the “Lord Jesus Christ Himself”.
“Revival is ultimately Christ Himself, seen, felt, heard, living, active, moving in and through His Body, the Church on earth.”
We invite you to join us for Just Give Me Jesus Augusta led by Anne Graham Lotz on September 21 & 22 at the James Brown Arena in Augusta Georgia.

The Way of Revival


 Thank you for joining me as we continue to prepare our hearts for revival. We pray you will join us at the Just Give Me Jesus Revival, led by Anne Graham Lotz, Sept. 21-22, at the James Brown Arena in Augusta, Georgia. Please find us on facebook, Just Give Me Jesus Augusta, Georgia to keep up with the latest news. For more information and to learn how you can watch the revival from the comfort of your own home please go to Just Give Me Jesus Augusta.
“Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.
Every valley shall be filled in,
Every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth.
And all mankind will see God’s salvation.”
Luke 3:4-6
Over the last 2 years our team, along with AnGeL Ministries, has prayed for and worked many long hours for revival in the greater Augusta, Georgia and South Carolina area. We have prayed for revival to begin here and spread across our country and the world.
We, as a Revival Team, have experienced revival in our own hearts as we have read and studied Stephen Olford’s Heart Cry for Revival. Chapter 5 discusses The Way of Revival that is given to us in Luke 3:4-6.
Luke 3 tells us of John the Baptist’s “Challenge to Revival”.
“Prepare the way of the Lord…”
We are to live our lives such that God can reach others through us. In order to do this we must ask ourselves:
·      Is my life a Way of Prayer? – “When people encounter you (me), are they ushered at once into the presence of God? Do other Christians find it easy to pray with you (me) or is your (my) life a distraction from prayer?”
·      Is my life a way of life? – “When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory” Colossians 3:4. “May the Lord deliver us from merely existing and bring us into the real joy of living.”
·      Is my life a way of holiness? – “For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life” 1 Thessalonians 4:7. “Holiness…is the divine expectation and standard of everyone who bears the name of Christ.”
·      Is my life a way of love? – Do I exhibit the qualities of love found in 1 Corinthians 13?
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
This week take some time to meditate on these verses. Search your heart and ask if you are living your life so that God can reach others through you.
“The command is clear: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord’, that is to say, become such a way of prayer, of life, of holiness and of love that all men may see the salvation of God worked out in you.”
Next week we will look at the conditions that need be present for God to work.
