"Let us cross over to the other side."
Mark 4:35b
_____________________________________________________________

Dear Saints Who Pray,
“WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?”

 
Jesus and His disciples had been ministering to the multitudes all day. In the evening He told His disciples to get in the boat and “Let us cross over to the other side.”
 

God had a plan!

 
Jesus was on assignment to deliver a tormented man who lived in the tombs in the area of the Gadarenes. A great windstorm arose and these long-time fishermen began to fear death as the boat filled with water. “Teacher, don’t you care that we are perishing?” Jesus rebuked the wind and spoke to the sea. “Peace be still!” Then He asked them a question He might be asking His disciples in the year 2016.
 
“Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” Mark 4:40
 
THE CHALLENGE OF OPPOSITION
That which came against Jesus and His disciples was not visible. Demonic forces had a stronghold over the area. They tried to stop Jesus from setting the man free.
 
Why?
 
His deliverance would also clear a path for people to hear the gospel message!
That day Jesus called the man into ministry. “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the LORD has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.”
Mark 5:19
 
THE CALL — REVIVAL!
I think it is safe to say that the man was anointed to preach when Jesus gave him the instructions, “Go … and tell them ….”
 
God always accompanies an assignment with power.

The same anointing was on the seventy disciples when Jesus sent them out ahead of Him into the cities where He would go. “ … heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’” Luke 10:9
 
They were laying track for Him … REVIVAL!
 
Citizens of Heaven: Philippians 3:20
When you and I were born again we became citizens of the Kingdom of God.  
At that moment we received an assignment as Ambassadors for Christ.
All assignments have to do with God’s will … the ministry of reconciliation.”
(Read 2 Corinthians 5:17-20.)
 
Something else was deposited into our spirit man at the new birth ... “God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” Ah, there’s the power, the anointing of the Holy Spirit!

That’s the provision for the assignment … “having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them …” (Romans 12:6)
 
2016 and THE END OF DAYS CHURCH
The Four Blood Moons
The Four Blood Moons that occurred on 4/15/14, 10/8/14, 4/4/15, and 9/27/15, were signs in the heavens – and each one occurred on a Jewish Feast. The odds of that happening are beyond our comprehension!

Why did God have this take place?
They are a wake-up call to the nations and a notice that changes are about to take place. What tragedies we have seen in the last year ….
 
On the other hand, we need to keep in mind how significant our being born at this time is. We also need to take our thoughts captive to the truth that God has a plan for our generation! 
 
When the Father sent Jesus and the disciples to the evil region of the Gadarenes, it certainly wasn’t for them to be drowned in the sea.
 
Just because there is opposition doesn’t mean God has left us alone!

 
We are well equipped to overcome all adversity, but don’t think you can be lazy and neglect doing those things you have been trained to do. The power within us needs to be re-charged with the Word of God every day.

Why? Because we are continually releasing faith.
 
Warning: If you spend many hours each day focused on news programs and other things that are joined to this world’s system, you will begin to wobble for you are sitting on a fence between two opposing elements. One foot in the world and one foot in The Church may have you start thinking differently and begin “building your house on shifting sand.” And we know that building a house on sand is ignorant! No stability. No foundation.
 
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Fear comes by hearing also!
 
Fear can creep in by hearing life-less words that are continually being spewed out of the mouths of people blinded by an anti-Christ system, who are full of fear yet bent on living life in a secular system that wants nothing to do with Jesus Christ! Remember the Garden of Eden? This is eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
 
THE DIVIDING LINE
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10
Now there’s the solid Rock we build our house on:  JESUS CHRIST!
 
But God has given us the freedom to choose.
Choices come to us every day. For a Christian to get enveloped with the world and the way it thinks will slowly be life altering. No word? No conviction!
 
Some large denominations have already abandoned what scripture says is sin to embrace worldly ways. Jesus told us ahead of time that one generation would see the demise of godly principles. “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24:37
 
At the SAME time, God has a generation of holy people called out to serve Him fervently and unashamedly.
 
God has a plan!
This same generation will have the privilege of bringing the harvest of souls into the Kingdom of God.
 
ONE GENERATION: Take Heed!
“Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

"But take heed to yourselves,
lest your hearts be weighed down
with carousing, drunkenness,
and cares of this life,
and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
For it will come
as a snare
on all those who dwell
on the face of the whole earth.
Watch therefore,
and pray always
that you may be counted worthy
to escape all these things
that will come to pass,
and to stand
before the Son of Man.”
Luke 21:32-36 
 
Waiting for the Fullness of the Gentiles – Romans 11:25
“See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.” James 5:7-8
 
STAMINA
Definition of Stamina: endurance, strength of constitution, vigor, sturdiness, hardness, staying power, ruggedness, energy, perseverance
 
When so much evil is taking place in the world, what should we be doing?
 
  • Remember, Jesus told us in the gospels this was coming upon the last generation of His church.
  • He has given you His Spirit to strengthen you with might in the inner man. (Ephesians 3:16
  • Build yourself up by praying in the Holy Spirit more. (Jude 20)
  • Be strong in the LORD and in the power of His might. (Ephesians 6:10)
  • Be not anxious or worried. Pray! Meditate on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy. Rejoice! (Philippians 4:4-9)
 
What did God do in the beginning when He saw disorder?

God spoke light over the darkness to bring about the change that He wanted.
 
As people of prayer, we are to administer light into the darkness by releasing prayers of intercession into our cities and counties. Let the word of God dwell in you so richly that when you pray, the living Word of God comes forth from you as the “Sword of the Spirit.” (Ephesians 6:17-18)
 
The armor of God is not only to have you stand in the evil day; it is spiritual prayer armor to equip you in praying prayers that change things, especially to be praying in tongues, for then we speak mysteries , not to men, but to God. (1 Corinthians 14:2) And the devil can't steal what he doesn't know.
 
CHANGES
When an old house needs a total renovation, a construction crew goes in to demolish walls that need to come down. They remove the old to make room for the new. That can seem like everything is disheveled and in a terrible mess when actually a process has begun to restore that which has been neglected.
 
Take NO care! God is healing the land!
 
The Call is Greater Than the Man

Don’t be disheartened concerning our political problems and the upcoming election. God is at work. The call is greater than the man. In other words, the call in itself has the ability to change a yielded vessel. Look at what it has done with you and me! Selah
 
“We’re going over to the other side.”
That’s the word of the LORD for you and me today. God is with us!
 
Follow Jesus, one step at a time. Be patient. Stay on prayer assignment. Be listening for that “phone call from Heaven” when He sends an urgent request for prayer. Cover your counties in prayer every day. This is vital!
 
Together we’re marching forward toward a spectacular finish!
God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh and bring in the great harvest of souls!

 
GOD HAS A PLAN!
 
“To Him who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations …” (Revelation 2:26)

"And as you go, preach,
saying,
'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.' "
Matthew 10:7
___________________________________________________________

Saints Who are Praying for Revival,
The other day I had a vision of workers who were laying track for a train to ride on. It seemed like something from an old western movie. The land was dry and hard, like the Mojave Desert. Each of the workers had their own assignment and together they laid the rails down so that the train would have a smooth ride over the land without any hindrances.
 
PRAYER WITH PURPOSE
In January 2011, the LORD gave me Isaiah 40:3-11 to begin a prayer ministry to intercede for the State of California. Greater emphasis was on verses three through five:
 
“Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough places smooth;
The glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

 
Much like the railroad workers had to clear the land and break up the hardened ground, we as intercessors work with the Holy Spirit in prayer to pray for our counties in our state for one main reason: Revival/Awakening!
 
Now imagine those workers in that old western movie working hard day after day. Suddenly enemies of the railroad come in to plunder and stop the advancement of them laying track. Not only do those workers need a pick and a shovel for their assignment, but they also must have their guns ready to use against their adversary.
 
OVERCOMERS
Nehemiah and his countrymen were given the task of rebuilding the shattered wall of Jerusalem. They had tremendous opposition but overcame every obstacle in fifty-two days. How?
 
This was the plan of God, which means GOD was with them.
I like this verse:
 
“… half of my servants worked at construction, while the other half held the spears, the shields, the bows, and wore armor; and the leaders were behind all the house of Judah. Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon.” (Nehemiah 4:16-17)
 
VISION
Not only was there unity among those who heard and received the call to rebuild the wall, but they had a clear and precise vision, a goal, a plan to achieve.
 
“Where there is no revelation, [vision] people cast off restraint [run wild]; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.” Proverbs 29:18
 
THE LAW OF INERTIA
Newton's first law of motion is often stated as:
 
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
 
In other words, the behavior of all objects tend to "keep on doing what they're doing" unless acted upon by an unbalanced (unequal) force.
 
Examples:
·  To dislodge ketchup from the bottom of a ketchup bottle, it is often turned upside down and thrust downward at high speeds and then abruptly halted.
·  While riding a skateboard (or wagon or bicycle), a person would fly forward off the board when hitting a curb or rock that abruptly halts the motion of the skateboard.
 
MOVEMENT
Definition of Movement: motion, change of position, locomotion, stirring, progress, agitation, action; an activity, operation, or maneuver
 
Antonym: inertia, stasis, quiescence
 
The Glorious Church, the last–days church of the LORD, is required to move —every day!
 
That requirement is not only an assignment to those in leadership but a call to each and every member of Christ’s body on the earth right now.

You were born for a purpose! You were called to live here in the year 2016 to make a change for the Kingdom of God! Meditate on that.
 
OBEDIENCE: Wait for the Promise of the Father
Jesus commanded His disciples “not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, ‘which,’ He said, ‘you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.’” (Acts 1:4-5) So, all the disciples continued with one accord in prayer and supplication. (Acts 1:14)
 
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:1-4)
 
WORDS
God used words to create the universe and all things that provide for our existence on earth. (Hebrews 11:3) When He created Adam He breathed His Spirit into him and man became a living speaking spirit. (Genesis 2:7)
 
Jesus, the last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45), became a life-giving Spirit. He said, “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)
 
On the appointed day, the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit filled each of the disciples with Himself, including Jesus’ mother and brothers. God would join with His disciples to be one with them. They began to speak another language, the language of the Kingdom of God. They were speaking words unknown to themselves, but others heard them in their own language praising God. Three-thousand people came into The Church that day!
 
Some would describe this as a “move” of God.
 
People of prayer who pray and intercede in tongues are releasing MOVEMENT WHERE OUR PRAYERS ARE SENT. They fill the heavens that God has made with His plans and purposes to produce change. Speak restoration into the heavens over your cities. See Isaiah 42:22.
 
Remember the Law of Inertia?
 
Objects tend to keep on doing what they are doing — UNLESS FORCED TO CHANGE BY AN UNEQUAL FORCE!
 
Now let’s bring the:
  • PRAYER WITH PURPOSE scripture foundation into this teaching and
  • the vision of seeing workers on the railroad laying track for the train to travel over:
 
“Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough places smooth;
The glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” (Isaiah 40:3-5)
 
PRAYER WITH PURPOSE: Prayer for your State…(Movement!)
Release the Kingdom of God! It is an unequal force to make change on that which is stagnant.

 
Saints, let’s get with it!
Lay track for the Holy Spirit to move on. Break up the hardened hearts of the unbelievers with prayers of intercession for them. (See 2 Corinthians Chapter 4.)
 
The Lost
You and I were once on the wrong side of the fence until the mercy of God touched our hearts with grace and faith and we were “delivered from the power of darkness and conveyed into the kingdom of the Son of His love.”

Someone prayed us in.
 
Pray for The Glorious Church, magnificent and shining, with the glory and the power of God. We will fulfill the plan of God with armor on and in use! And pray for those elected leaders in your state and then cast the care on the LORD … the Government is on His shoulders.
 
Pray in tongues throughout your day. Think “movement.”
Think REVIVAL!

Remember Saints, NO Word? NO faith.
NO faith? NO movement! (John 15:5-7)

 
SUGGESTED ASSIGNMENT: Video
Lester Sumrall was speaking at a conference at ORU in 1987. You’ll enjoy it. He speaks on Revival at the end.
