What Will You Do With Your Gift of Time?
Don’t waste the gift of time. Why not pause each day and pray for 30 minutes? It could turn some idle time into eternally productive time. Here’s how ... 5 MINUTES: Pause and look up to God; read one of the psalms. Step into the Lord’s presence in prayer; calm your heart in His presence. Walk into the throne room and shut the door behind you and pray to your Father. 5 MINUTES: Look up at God and praise Him for who He is—for His nature and character. Think of everything He has
Building a Lasting Foundation in a Crumbling Culture
Those of you who know me well or follow me on social media realize how much I love Lake Michigan. The views are spectacular. The beaches are amazing. The sand dunes are some of the most plenteous in the world. And the sunsets are blazingly magnificent. Yet something has been happening gradually over the past thirty years. Inch by inch, the water level has been climbing, until it is now the highest in recorded history. Because of this, the forces of nature have destroyed beach
400 University Students Make Decisions for Christ
“Last night was amazing. These football players had about 100 students helping them tell the students on campus to come to the event. About 2,500 showed up. ~400 decisions for Christ. They had a line hundreds of feet long wanting to be baptized. Security did not allow them to be baptized on campus grounds. The football players told them they would have to kick them out of school to stop it. ~200 baptized in a metal tub in the school square under lights that were held in the d
College students get baptized in pickup trucks
University of Georgia students gave their lives to Christ earlier in April after being baptized in pick-up trucks in a parking lot. Unite Georgia brought together thousands of Gen-Zers for worship, prayer and personal testimonies . Some students were so moved by the prayer service that they decided to get baptized in the beds of pick-up trucks nearby. "I just heard the call from the Lord, and he said, ‘Be obedient,'" student Nate Kearns, a junior who was baptized, told "T
Coming Under The True Shepherd
A Biblical View of Revival - Part 6 Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly; gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD (Joel 1:14 NASB). I have met a number of precious pastors in my lifetime who really struggle emotionally and mentally when their church attendance numbers begin to decline and they realize that the powerful, manifest presence of God is no longer being experienced by their congregatio
What Is Genuine Repentance?
A Biblical View of Revival - Part 5 by James Pool, OneCry Collegiate From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17 NASB). Have you ever noticed how the spiritually dynamic (and often first-recorded) messages of John the Baptist (Matthew 3:1-2), Jesus (Matthew 4:17), Peter (Acts 2:38), Paul (Acts 17:30), and John (Revelation 2:5) all contain a powerful focus on one key word? What do you think it is? Would love
God’s Presence in His Place
Written by Bill Elliff Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubim.… Then the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God (2 Chron. 5:7, 13-14 NASB). I am overwhelmed this morning with this picture. Lose your familiarity wit
Feeling Like Isaiah
Dear Revival Partners, I think often, almost daily, about how Isaiah must have felt as he was living among a people who were familiar with the ways of God, but no longer walking in the ways of God. Isaiah must have felt like many of us do today. Feelings of uncertainty … wondering if things will ever change … Will God show up once again? Feelings that God’s people have lost their credibility to the unbelieving world. Feelings of, “Why all this craziness? Why is our culture so
It all starts with God
A Biblical View of Revival - Part 1 by James Pool, OneCry National Prayer Director Have you ever tried describing the unique beauty of a precisely cut, high-quality diamond? With every turn of the gem, a new facet of light and design emerges. This same experience happens when we look intently at biblical and historical revival. For the Christian, every view of God’s supernatural work in reviving His children reveals an inspiring glimpse into His compassionate glory and power.
God’s Discipline Flows from His Love
A Biblical View of Revival - Part 2 by James Pool Have you ever noticed that everything about Christianity is relational? Personally, I believe this is one of the main reasons Jesus taught His disciples to view and refer to God as “Father” when they prayed. When a person genuinely begins a love relationship with God by believing in Jesus and following Him as Lord of their life, that individual becomes God’s child (John 1:12-13) . Now, when you put this biblical reality into t
When God Disciplines Individuals
A Biblical View of Revival - Part 3 by James Pool, OneCry National Prayer Director “On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding” (Proverbs 10:13 NASB). Loving parents often use a number of disciplinary approaches in helping their children overcome willful disobedience. Sometimes, the method used depends on the nature of the child and what it will take to see that particular child repent and change their ways. Some c
Does God Discipline Entire Churches?
A Biblical View of Revival - Part 4 by James Pool, OneCry National Prayer Director “Also I scattered them among the nations and they were dispersed throughout the lands. According to their ways and their deeds I judged them” (Ezekiel 36:19 NASB). Prior to COVID-19, statistics tell us that 74% of America’s churches were stagnant or declining in the area of church attendance. The largest evangelical denomination in the United States has been reporting an annual decline in churc
A State of Spiritual Emergency
