harvest!”

OUR MANDATE FROM JESUS CHRIST

Revival in China
Dennis Balcombe
Dennis Balcombe is senior pastor of Revival Christian Church in Hong Kong and regularly ministers in China.
A real Christian would naturally be very interested in revival and awakening. In recent years, certain streams have begun in the Body of Christ which have had considerable influence in a short time. One thing is clear, intelligence alone is no defense against deception – no matter who is right. My personal view is that we should major on majors, and minor on minors.
Unbelief is a spirit which causes people to reject what God says is true. The more we can get unbelief concerning God’s promises out of our own hearts, the more we will be effective in destroying it in those who do not yet believe. Unbelief binds the hand of God. It is one of the worst enemies to deal with.
The biggest and most fundamental lie that Satan and his demons promote – both to believers and non-believers alike is this: that there is something more important right now than seeking relationship, intimacy and communion with God through Jesus Christ and the fulness of the Holy Spirit. We could call this lie the lie to promote distraction from relationship with God. If someone persists in an undistracted relationship with God for more than a few days Satan’s losses already will be immense.
I go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mk 16.15
I am very careful, then, how I live. I live not as unwise, but as wise. I decide to make the most of every evangelistic opportunity, because the days are evil.
Eph 5.15
I go into all the world and make disciples of all the peoples, baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and I teach them to obey the commandments of Jesus Christ. Mt 28.18 – 28.20
I am as bold as a lion.
I was born in a large Christian family. Ever since I know my father he has always been a Minister of the gospel. He is also the founder of a church in the community where we lived.
Being the youngest of twelve children, it was only natural that I attended church on a regular basis.
I accepted the Lord as my personal Saviour at an early age. Actually this was during my early years at High School.
At that time my only desire was to seek the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and to receive the gift of speaking in tongues.
Moody Abraham
Psalms 40:5
Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works, which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward.….if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
I was born and brought up in a small village in South India. My parents named me Moody. Even though my father was a schoolteacher, he spent most of his time preaching to the people about the love and saving grace of Jesus Christ. My parents taught me about the love of Jesus Christ and the importance of living a life that is pleasing to Him.
I have received power now that the Holy Spirit has come upon me, and I shall be a witness of Christ. Acts 1.8
I wait on God until I am clothed with power from on high. Lk 24.49
Power belongs to God. Ps 62.11
The power of the Holy Spirit is not my own power. Acts 3.12
My speech and my preaching are not with the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that our faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1Cor 2.4 2.5
The message of the cross is the power of God to us who are being saved.
