Revival Begins in the Heart of God, and Meets the Hearts of Waiting Seeking Praying People!
The outpouring the Holy Spirit leads to energy and enthusiasm. We see that in the book of Acts and that has marked times of Revival, even communion seasons at Kinlochbervie. When I used to be invited up to Kinlochbervie to preach during the Communion Seasons these were very precious times indeed. After the Services from the Thursday to the Monday there would be Prayer Meetings which were deep and genuine and real. We can do evangelism and preaching and teaching and counselling, but these are the ministries which we carry out for God. Revival is a work that God does for us. We never know when the wind will blow and when God the Holy Spirit will move.
Do You Feel Sometimes Like Committing Suicide? – Don’t Even Think of It!If you feel like escaping your troubles by committing suicide, well think again.

Honoring Others – Commandment or Suggestion?Honoring others means not the same as having honor. In one, we give respect, sometimes even unearned respect. in the other, we behave as people with honor. This article is about Christian Character and a walk that reflects true honor.
Life Trouble? Expect It, Prepare for ItCan you think of anyone who has not had major life ups and downs and disappointments? Even the more spiritual among us are not exempt from life trials: Problems in life are universal. How we handle issues sets the stage for the rest of life’s journey and measures the level of our faith.
What Would Happen If They Had Done Things Differently?What if David had taken King Saul’s advice and put on the King’s armour? David would have lumbered about and Goliath would have easily won. No David used the weapons God had given him.
Pictures of a Deer and the Holy Spirit.Two different word pictures of a deer utilising water as simble of The Holy Spirit. A deer came, believing everything was safe, drank slowly from the refreshing stream. This small stream was very convenient, nearby a very relaxing space. Sometimes are lives go along just like that. Easy going, full of peace and plenty. The deer suddenly remembered a place, it was far away harder to get to but it was a place of safety. It ran as fast as it could. It heard the hunters following. It zigzagged through the forest. Yes that noise kept coming, they were chasing. If only it could get to the place of safety. It was a quick flowing river. It quickly jumped in and swam out into the deep current. The water was cool and refreshing and the flow of the water carried it away from the hunters! The River of God is like that!
Awakening A Seeker Of The TruthTruth, like wisdom is not out there in the books and speakers. Teachers can only share their own search for answers and the process of finding them. In order for personal answers to be found, one must be willing to stop searching and listen in silence instead. After hearing truth it must be lived, exercised each and every day in order to become wisdom. This can not be done for anyone else. Each must walk this path of self discovery and wisdom through willingness to cease seeking and to actually find the truth.
The Scandalous Truth About GraceThis is not an article about God’s grace as much as it’s an article about how grace penetrates the fabric of our soul and changes us forever. Simply, do we take in the fullness of grace as we have experienced it in our salvation, and have we allowed grace (that fullness of salvation) to transform us to the point we give up the rights to our own lives? – That we genuinely follow the Lord Jesus.
The Most Important Goal of DiscipleshipWhen we commit to giving up our desire for control, God will test us to see how serious we are. We will be asked to endure some unreasonable things. We will be required to give back to God what he demands we give him back, and we will need to do that willingly. When people hurt us, we will need to forgive them, without any promise that we will get justice in return. It will appear that we will lose out in life, especially as we consider other Christians who have not made such a rigorous holy commitment.
