Pastor Ray lays out four simple doctrines from a dear group of Christians from the 17th century that are key to revival followed by four specific behaviors that block this work.
“Unless Christianity receives a new enthusiasm that sweeps the Western world, and Christianity itself rises up against the forces against it,” Michael Savage said, “the entire West will collapse in your lifetime.”
Jesus focus is to build the kingdom of God. He's taking us to a place where we give up the need to be somebody and all of the pride of our heart has been emptied.
After our crucifixion, Jesus brings to a place where our lives totally revolve around Him and His body (i.e., the church). There’s such an incredible work that Jesus wants to do in us, if we’ll simply yield and surrender to Him.
Today's sermon focuses on the mighty work of circumcision, which is something that Jesus does in our heart as we trust him and fully consecrate ourselves to Him. This is where the root of sin is utterly removed in our hearts.
As we repent and fully die out (assuming we're willing to die out), there comes a point in time where God himself will deliver us out of the desert as God delivered Elijah.
