Praying for Revival, Part 1

Life Action Ministries — Wed, 23 May 2012 03:00:00 PDT

"Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil—to make your name known to your adversaries, and that the nations might tremble at your presence! When you did awesome things that we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence" (Isaiah 64:1-3 ESV).

Byron Paulus recently shared a message with the Life Action staff about praying for revival (based on Isaiah 64). This message will be presented in two parts. Please be sure to listen next week to Part 2.

The Hand of God Was Upon Him

Life Action Ministries — Wed, 02 May 2012 03:00:00 PDT

"The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him" (Ezekiel 1:3 KJV).

Don Graham looks at the story of Ezekiel as an example of what happens when God has His hand on the life of a man or woman.

Has Jesus Called Us to a Life of Sacrifice?

Life Action Ministries — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 03:00:00 PDT

"As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, 'I will follow you wherever you go.' Jesus replied, 'Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.' He said to another man, 'Follow me.' But the man replied, 'Lord, first let me go and bury my father.' Jesus said to him, 'Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.' Still another said, 'I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family.' Jesus replied, 'No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God'" (Luke 9:57-62 NIV).

Dan Jarvis, pastor of Weymouth Church in Medina, Ohio, looks at three examples from the Gospel of Luke of what it costs to follow Jesus.

Life Action Ministries — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:00:00 PDT

"In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand'" (Matt. 3:1-2 ESV).

God's Cry

Life Action Ministries — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:00:00 PDT

"When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, 'Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it'" (Gen. 28:16 NIV).  

We conclude our Vision Gathering series with a message from Del Fehsenfeld III. In the midst of the OneCry movement, many of us are conscious of our own heart's cry for Jesus—for Him to be our focus and priority. Del uses an experience in the life of Jacob to show how, when we as Christians recognize that God is active in the circumstances of our lives, it begins to reshape us from the inside out.

The High Cost of Revival - It's Worth It!

Life Action Ministries — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 03:00:00 PDT

Jesus said, "Any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14:33 ESV).

Continuing with our series from a recent Life Action Vision Gathering conference, Pastor Mark Vroegop addresses some of the challenges of revival, but more significantly, the blessings that follow.

Life Action Ministries — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 03:00:00 PDT
