Hi All,
For the past six months now Corinne and I have been very busy with our church in Hernando, Florida. We have been pastors of New Beginnings Fellowship, link doing something that completely blows us away when we think about it! If you would have told us a year ago that we would be located in one place, back in the role of pastor again, we would have laughed directly in your face! Yet here we are, doing what we thought that we'd never do again!
However, the interesting thing is that we have not lost the longing for Kingdom Revival sweeping across our Land! As far as I am concerned, let it fall here, right now! Wow!
Yes we pastor a local church these days, yet we have not lost the longing in our hearts for Revival, we do remain Revivalists 100%. I feel strongly that seeking true Revival does fit into the scope of ministry within the local church. After all Revival is for the Church! As pastors there are many duties that we must assume. My main duty is that of facilitating the ministry within those comprising our local congregation. My job is to release our people into the work of the ministry! No Friends, NBF is not a traditional church with the pastor doing everything and the people being just good little "sheeple" not being fulfilled!
However, based on that, stands the looming need of seeing true Kingdom Revival transform a region. I am certain that God is wanting to do something very powerful with the State of Florida. I am also convinced that much of it will center in Citrus County, that's the Region that He's called us to! Therefore as a pastor, as a Revivalist, I must constantly push the envelope for true Revival! Can I say it again, New Beginnings Fellowship is NOT a traditional church? Maybe now you can see why! We want true Revival, therefore we have to do the things that foster true Revival!
When a baby is about to be born everyone tells the Mom, "Push!" It seems that if there is no pushing a baby cannot come forth! Hummm.... see the spiritual significance in that? If a local church does not push for Revival, guess what will not come forth!
OK.... as a pastor, as a Revivalist, what am I doing locally to "push for Revival?" I talk about Revival, I teach about past moves of the Spirit in America and the world. We teach the people to pray for Revival. I also feel to create familiarity between our people and others who have Revival burning in their hearts. In May and June we had Revivalist Roger Webb link in for meetings and we were favored by seeing God move strongly in signs, wonders and miracles. On July 12-15 we are hosting Tom and Susie Scarrella link for some powerful meetings, all geared to do one thing... Push the Envelop for Revival within our church and our region!
How about you... It's time to push for Revival within your region! Oh yes, it's time to push! You might tell me, "Larry, we've been pushing!" My answer back to you is, then PUSH SOME MORE! It is time to see this new Baby of Revival born! Yes, it's time!
Kingdom blessings,
Larry
