revival praise and thankful thursday

I am thankful that God reigned victorious over the revival services at Eternity Baptist Church in Alamagordo, New Mexico. Even more thankful that He allowed Jimbo and I to be part of it.

The enemy tried everything he could in his power to quench the spirit, stop the power and cause the servant of the Lord to falter. Jimbo began getting sick on our way here on Friday and by Sunday he was just barely making it. We began doctoring him with various medicines. We tried just about everything. For a man who never gets sick, he was almost down for the count. What started out as just a minor sinus problem escaladed into fever, chills, sore throat, headache and all over achiness. By last night, the final night of revival, he could hardly talk.

But as determined as satan was to get some sort of victory out of this and cause God's man to be unable to function, God was more determined to speak through His servant and do a mighty work. And a mighty work He did!

The winds of revival blew with a mighty roar through the church. People were moved by the Spirit of God. Lives have been touched and changed. Decisions were made. The altar was baptized in many tears of surrender. Hearts were pricked to get right with God. Recommitments were made before the Lord and His people. It was a glorious, awesome revival.

God took a humble servant that was at a low in physical health and just spoke a powerful Word through him. He reigned! He won the victory! He enabled Jimbo to muster up the strength to stand at the pulpit and be the mouthpiece for God. He indeed brought new life to the weary. He carried him from strength to strength. God is so good.

We saw God in a new and more intimate way this week. We felt His presence in each service and saw the invisible handprints of our Lord on each person present. We have been revived!

Thank you, Lord, for loving us enough to die for us that we might taste eternal life in glory with You forever.

In full surrender,

Beth
