Is Canada ripe for revival?

We have just finished Passover and as I reflect today, I am so thankful for the cross of Jesus Christ because it brings men and women to a point of decision about their life.

Several people made the decision to commit their life to Jesus this weekend.

Could one of them be the next Josiah? Or Hezekiah or Billy Graham?

Who knows but God. All I know is that I have seen God change many lives, as shown by our illustrated sermon on Sunday morning, as we showed what people were like before Christ and then after. It was powerful!

So is Canada ripe for revival? I say, Yes! Let this year spark a revival fire across this country, like never before.

Yours for revival,

Passover

Here we are, just days before Passover and as I reflect on it I can’t help but be thankful. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I deserved hell for my sin but because of the blood of Jesus, there was a Passover. Because of that blood, you and I can stand saved, healed and delivered.

So knowing this as Christians, let's stop being stuck in the past. Past mistakes, past sin, past failure. There has been a Passover for you. Jesus is our Passover Lamb. LIVE in your forgiveness and watch what God will do to and through you.

Yours for revival,

Pastor Francis Armstrong

WILDERNESS TIME

In Hosea chapter 2, it talks about God bringing His people into the wilderness. The wilderness can be a scary place, dry, desolate, wild animals, etc. You get the picture…

But what we must know is that God brings His people into the wilderness, not to strip them bare or point the finger and dig up old wounds or torment them for past sins. The point of the wilderness is to free you. Free you from the attachments to lesser and damaging things. Wilderness time is not primarily about the pain and struggle; it’s about you getting closer to God.

Hosea 2:14-16
14 “ Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
Will bring her into the wilderness,
And speak comfort to her.
15 I will give her her vineyards from there,
And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope;
She shall sing there,
As in the days of her youth,
As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
16 “ And it shall be, in that day,”
Says the LORD,

“ That you will call Me ‘My Husband,’
And no longer call Me ‘My Master,’

So in that wilderness comes a door of hope, take it and walk through to your promised land.
