Now is the time.
This is the day of salvation! Now is the acceptable time! Call upon Him while He is near! Seek Him while He may be found! Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart!
God's Spirit will not always strive with man. You may not have another chance to repent of your sin and get right with Him. Without the Holy Spirit's conviction in your life you will never repent, you will never have saving faith.
No one is guaranteed tomorrow. We do not know when we will take our final breath. Do not harden your heart! Do not resist the Spirit! This might be your final call!

Prepare To Meet Thy God!!! Evangelist Steve Hill Brownsville Revival
The convicting power of the Holy Spirit!
"God, raise up evangelists to speak with a voice of thunder...."
Jump In!
I see a cloud the size of a man's hand on the horizon. I see the sky turn black and the winds blow. I see an abundance of rain falling upon a dry and thirsty land (1 Kings 18:44-45).
I hear a mighty rushing wind, I see tongues of fire descending upon a consecrated Church (Acts 2:1-4). I see her rise up in newness and power, the glory of God in her midst.
I see a river, ankle deep, rising and rising until rushing and deep (Ezekiel 47:3-5). I see it making things fresh, I see it bringing life where death now reigns (Ezekiel 47:8-9).
It is coming! God is about to pour out His Holy Spirit in abundance and mighty power!

Are You Really Thirsty?
O God, Thou art my God; I shall seek Thee earnestly; My soul thirsts for Thee, my flesh yearns for Thee, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Psalm 63:1 NASB
Imagine you are lost in a vast desert. You have used up all of your water, and have searched in vain for a stream, pool, or well. There is absolutely no water anywhere.
Now you are thirsty. Your mouth is dry, your tongue sticks to the roof of your mouth. Your lips crack, your dehydrating body is screaming for water. You must have water or you will die!
God wants us to thirst after Him with the same intensity of desire! Do you really long for His presence? Many people say they want revival, they desire God's presence in their lives, but do they really? Do you want God so badly that you will give anything for a taste of His presence? Will you do whatever it takes to see revival come to your heart, your church, your community? Will you give all, do all, whatever it takes? If not, I dare say you do not really want it. God is looking for those who seek after Him with all their heart. He is looking for those who are searching with a holy desperation. He honors those who want Him with an all consuming passion.
Are you really thirsty? Do you really want God's glory to fill this land once again? Is it just a nice idea in your mind, or is it as serious as an individual dying of thirst in the desert?
Do you want it?

You Can't Have It - Steve Hill
What are we doing with our lives? What drives us? Are we living for the moment, or are we living with eternity in mind? Are we storing up treasures here on this earth, or treasures in heaven? Let this message challenge you to live for God with passion.
The Fear of Man.
O God, deliver us from the fear of man. Remove the pride from our hearts, so that we may see that Your opinion of us is the only one that matters. Remove the blinders from our eyes so that we will see the lost souls around us. Help us to see that they are sinking into an eternal hell while we sit by and watch, paralyzed by the fear of what they might think of us if we tried to warn them. Help us to see that this life and all of its attractions does not count for anything. So what if we miss out on what this world can offer us. Give us a holy boldness so that we will fearlessly snatch others from the mouth of hell. O God, deliver us from the fear of man!
Amen.
Amen.

Get Real!
It is time that we were truly honest with ourselves, and with God. Many of us have been fooled into thinking we can have the ways of this world, and still have Jesus. We think we can be one person in church on Sunday, and another person during the week.
We might have fooled ourselves, but God will not be mocked (Galatians 6:7). He desires us to be truthful on the inside (Psalm 51:6). Many of us in fact are LUKEWARM! We are on the fence! God is about to vomit us out of His mouth (Rev 3:16).
Get real with God! Get off the fence! There is no middle ground in the Kingdom of God. It is all or nothing. Get the sin out, get the compromise out!
Jesus is waiting for you. He stands at the door of your heart (Rev 3:20). He longs for you to return; to let Him back in. He wants to forgive, to restore, to pour His mercy down on you.
Get real with God.

What's Worth Living For?
Only one life will soon be past
only what's done for Christ will last.
This life will soon be over. The years go by faster than we care them to. We spend the years cramming as much as we can into life, and then it is gone forever. In eternity, one hundred years is as a vapor, if we are blessed to live that long, and then we stand before God.
What will it really matter then? What will all of our accomplishments matter? What will it matter then how much money we made? What will all of our hobbies and pursuits matter? What about all of the entertainment we now enjoy? All the time spent in front of a screen will not matter in God's eyes. All the leisure time, all the money spent to pamper ourselves, will not matter.
Only what we have done in this life for Jesus Christ, will count on the day we stand before Him!
The time spent in prayer for the lost, the time spent witnessing for Him, the time spent in fellowship with Him, these are the things that matter now! Do we live for Him? Do we really love Him? Do our lives show it? Do we obey His commands, or live in disobedience?
If most of us would be honest with ourselves we would probably find that most of what we do is done for ourselves with little or no regard for God. We would find that we are to a large degree self seeking. None of that will stand on that day when we stand before God. All that we do, even that which is not wrong in and of itself, for any reason other than for God and His glory, is done with wrong motives. If we would take this seriously, we would find that our lives would be simplified greatly, and our walk with Christ would be renewed.
May God help us to turn around and begin to live for Him, and Him alone. May He get a hold of our hearts so that we will seek first His kingdom and righteousness. May God have mercy on us.
