God's Building a House

Many in the body treat church like smorgasbords, going from one flavor of church to another until they have had their fill. SOMEHOW WE'RE MISSING THE MARK!

Ask any pastor, church leader "What is your vision?" They will begin to list.

"to reach the city"

"win the lost"

"preach the gospel"

So hearing this, we have got to wonder why so little is accomplished?

All the prophecies? Our arrows are aimed in the right direction. We generally are talking about the right things.

So what if God were to take away from the church everything he NEVER told us to do.

David wanted to build God a house, but the Lord had a different idea. He said, "I AM GOING TO BUILD YOU AHOUSE"!

David's desires were good and his goals seemed right, but he learned it was not God's order, the Lord had a different idea, "I am going to build you a house."

I believe the church has lost its focus. God wants to focus us, to bring us into alignment in our houses and ministries.

The vision is our target, but God's order must be defined and automatic in us.

If you asked Paul, "What is your vision"? He may have said "I want a REAL relationship with Christ. What-ever it takes I want to know him."

Canada is ripe for Revival

After being in Thunder Bay and Prince Albert over the last couple of weeks, I am convinced that Canada is ripe for revival. I believe people are sick of playing church and are ready to be the Church.

I have watched people in these towns come from hopeless situations to the living hope, Jesus Christ. 30 people in Thunder Bay walked to the altar of salvation. People are starting to see hope.

This truly is a year of transition. The Church is advancing. What a joy to be alive and serving Jesus! Is there warfare? Yes, but the reward is worth it!

Yours for revival,
Pastor Francis Armstrong
