Have you noticed that there are saints, mostly older, who have a peace about them? They are Godly, they are full of wisdom, they are steady no matter what the circumstances. We know that Paul said that he had learned to be content in whatever state he found himself in. (Php 4:11) If you look at that portion of Scripture you could translate it into today’s reality and say that whether you had food on the table or not, you would be content. Whether you had a job or not, you would be content. Whether you were free or whether you were imprisoned, you would be content.

Revival
Posted by appolus on August 26, 2011
It still makes me weep when I hear the account of the Lewis revival as told by that precious saint, Duncan Campbell. When he speaks of going to the door at 11pm and there being six or seven hundred people, hungry and seeking God, it makes my heart sore. Oh that the people of my homeland would once again seek the living God, oh that He would rend the heavens and step down. Oh that the people of this great land of America would turn their eyes heavenward to see that the true treasures of this life come in our encounters with majesty. May it be so just one more time Lord, just one more time that your name may be glorified not only on the lips of men, but in the hearts of men. Men and women so overcome by His presence that they simply fall to their knees and cry Holy, hardly daring to breath, not daring to move because the King of glory has come in. Open the gates of your heart and the King of glory shall come in.

Peace like a river ( do you have it?)
Posted by appolus on August 24, 2011
Do you have a peace that surpasses all understanding? The Scriptures tells us, and Jesus commands us to be ” anxious for nothing.” This is the entryway into a supernatural peace. Its an act of the will to obey the command of God. Obedience leads to faith and faith leads to obedience. Do you demonstrate this fundamental truth in your life? Do you walk in a supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding because you come before the Lord with everything but most especially, with a thank-full heart? Is it the Lord Jesus that guards your heart and mind? Or, is it your wife, your husband, your checkbook, your job, your military, your government? Do you allow yourself to be anxious?

I will awaken the Dawn
Posted by appolus on August 22, 2011
If you live long enough as a Christian, you will enivitably face many challenges. When we look at the life of King David, we see that he is challenged time and time again with every imaginable problem. The reason that the Psalms are so popular, thousands of years after being written, is that we see David’s heart as he goes through his trials. He faces death and illness and rejection and defeat. He also faces the challenges of sin that seperates him from His God. Sometimes all of these elements all come together at once and it threatens to sweep the believer away, the enemy indeed comes in like a flood.

Are you a believer, or are you Christ’s?
Posted by appolus on August 18, 2011
Oh the glory of Grace, Oh the majesty of mercy. I imagine Jesus counted out the number of all the men she had ever slept with. He told the lady at the well how many men she had been with, but there was only the two of them there when He did this. He had no intention of humiliating this woman that lay at His feet. Can I suggest to you that this position, at the feet of Jesus, for the humble and contrite, is the safest place in the world. He was not going to humiliate this woman any more , the self-righteous had done enough of that this day. You see when Jesus forgives us our sin, they are remembered no more. He does not seek to humiliate us, He seeks to restore us, to reconcile us to the Glories of our God and Father and so He rubs away the number of her lovers from the dust and it is no more. Her sin is hidden from the “believers,” that were still around. Jesus had exposed one bunch of hypocrites, He was just about to expose another group, the so called “believers.”

The Joseph Company-David Wilkerson
Posted by appolus on August 15, 2011
For the most part, the church today is experiencing widespread spiritual famine: shallow sermons, dead hearers, “lively” worship that is not backed up by righteous living.God has always worked far in advance of every spiritual famine in his church. In every generation he has moved ahead to prepare a way out for his people! Read the rest of this entry »

You are higher than the highest heavens
You love is deeper than the deepest sea
Your mercy is beyond all comprehension
And your grace goes on eternally

Lost Tears (A poem for the children of alcoholics)

To all the boys who never cried
My heart it weeps for you
Longing for a fathers touch
Slipping slowly out of view

Are you an Overmountain man?
Posted by appolus on August 9, 2011
Will you stand in the evil day brothers and sisters? Have you forged your own independence from the world? Are you wholly dependent upon the Lord? Will you run to the enemy when he challenges the people of God? Now is the time to be forged in the fire, to be purified, to be purged of the dross of this world. For if this world has a place in your heart, when the letter comes that demands that you lay down and submit to the gods of this world, you surely will.
