Tag Team preaching at E. St. Louis Christian Center. I thank and give glory to God the Father this afternoon, to His darling Son Jesus Christ and to the Precious Holy Spirit and I thank God for Pastor Mom, Apostle Kizzie, to everyone who is on the line and to all of those who will listen at a later date. It is time for revival The message that I am led to ask each one of us is What time is it? The answer that I heard is that It is Time For Revival. That word revival comes from a root word vive, which means to live, long life or live long, that is why you will hear in France & other places people cry out vive la France or vive la king, because they are saying long live France or long live the king, Vive or vive also means to be active and full of life. The revival call is given first to those of us who are God’s people and also to those who need to be saved and born again. I know that it seems strange for the revival call to be given first to God’s people, however 1 Chronicles 7:14 says If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, then what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? Ephesians 5 is a revival chapter and a revival call for believers in Christ Jesus. In the Book of Revelations Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour is the One who walks with the Revival call among the seven churches in Asia. The very first church mentioned is the Church at Ephesus. They are called the Ephesians. Ephesians 5 is a revival chapter and a revival call for believers in Christ Jesus. It says in v. 1-8 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: So Believers in Jesus Christ we are encouraged in Ephesians 5:15-20 To see then that we walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore we must not be unwise but we must understand what the will of the Lord is. We are not to be drunk with wine where in is excess but God encourages us to be filled with the Holy Spirit. We are to speak to ourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord, Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Then Remember that the call to revival is also given to those who need to be saved and to be born again. Matthew 11:28-29 is the revival call and special invitation by Jesus Christ. Jesus offers hope and help to every one. He says in v28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. And Hebrew 3:7-8 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts. The word of God says in Romans 10:13 For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I make the appeal and invitation to those who have not given their hearts and lives to Jesus Christ to do so right now. This appeal will be given again by Apostle at the end of this service. This Day if you are not sure of your salvation, Please Say with me “Lord Jesus, I ask you into my heart and life. I repent of all my sins. I no longer want to go the way of sin, the world, my flesh or of the devil. I want to be born again, to be saved. Lord Jesus, I do believe that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God and that God raised you from the dead. I give my heart and life to you. Now if you prayed that prayer with me, according to Acts 20:32 I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are set apart in Jesus Christ. God Bless each and every one of you today!
