It’s Time For Your New Normal

Daniel 9:19
O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”

So God says, “Now get ready.”  It’s time the church get back to at least the Book of Acts.

There are things that we can tap into to turn the church around and CROSS over into this new normal.

So let me tell you some of the operational dynamics of the Book of Acts.  They, as believers, were totally committed to the Lord Jesus.

Sounds easy!  Except it means we obey Him no matter what He asks and go where He goes.

Today people commit and the next day change their mind.  This has to be Daily.  In Acts they were totally devoted to the Word of God.

I’m looking for some people like that, people that want their life to be like Christ, People that will search and then apply.

If you want POWER, the power is in His WORD!  These Acts Christians lived a simple life based on kingdom principals.

Cared for each other and helped people, they acted in compassion for people and were devoted to Jesus.

Freely you have received, freely give.

Crossing over to new things is NOT just a one-time thing.

We must enlarge our capacity for more.   Yesterday is NOT enough.

God is NOT a historic God but a PRESENT one.

Deuteronomy 26:16-17
16 “This day the Lord your God commands you to observe these statutes and judgments; therefore you shall be careful to observe them with all your heart and with all your soul.
17 Today you have proclaimed the Lord to be your God, and that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments, and His judgments, and that you will obey His voice.

Church, hear me, when God’s Word goes out, there IS NO REVERSE gear.

If He says a nation will change, it will change.

In the Book of Acts cities were changed as they were FILLED and refilled again and again.

They spoke in tongues; they gave prophecy and were filled with the Holy Spirit.

When the strength of Holy Spirit is in us, we can fight our enemies.

Man is spirit and we possess a soul and live in a body.
When our soul and spirit say YES!  LOOK OUT!

Our body is the outer shell and we carry the body, NOT the body carrying us.

Come on Church.  Read the Book of Acts and DON’T LIVE A NORMAL LIFE!

When you know the power of the Spirit, you won’t be afraid of any other spirit.

You have the NAME of Jesus.  When we pray, we stand in that name.  When demons attack, we stand in that name.

The name of Jesus will unlock doors and hearts and we use it to speak against the power of hell.

Most don’t know how to use His name.  If we believe in His name, we will cast out demons and the sick will recover.

We must NOT become complacent after receiving so much food until we don’t have the hunger anymore.  Intensity for Him and hunger must grow inside us.

I am expecting miracles this month.  Something supernatural to get us ready for the future.

In a time of war, WE MUST BE CLEAN!  If we expect a miracle it will happen.  If we don’t expect, we will get NOTHING.

Matthew 8:2-3
2 And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

God IS ABLE.

God is WILLING.


Yours for revival,

Pastor Francis Armstrong
