Both Azusa Men and Women know the true meaning of revival in the soul
as an everyday fellowship and on fire for the Lord!
Hallelujah, We praise you Jesus!!
This is a share from my Spiritual Teachers online " The Copelands"
"Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord."
(Psalm 150:6)
We're created to praise God. Some people don't know that. When the
praise service starts, they sit back and say, "I'm not comfortable
with all that singing and shouting. I guess praise is just not my
thing."
Yes it is! According to the Bible, if you breathe, you were meant to praise.
And don't try to slip by with saying, "Well,I have praise in my heart.
" That's not enough. The Word says you need to have it in your mouth
as well! (Ps. 34:1) Psalm 132:9 says, "Let thy saints shout for joy."
You can't shout and be quiet at the same time.
When you first begin to truly praise, it may seem awkward to you,
but if you'll keep it up, it will become a way of life. Why? Because praise causes the glory of God to manifest in your life.
It causes you to walk in the light of His countenance (Ps. 89:15).
It will start a revival inside of you!
"But, Gloria, if I start to praise like that, people will think
I'm some kind of fanatic."
Well, good! Did you know that every revival in history has been started
by people the world considered absolute fanatics? God does things differently than the world. So when you set aside your inhibitions and start letting His Spirit operate through you, you're going to look
strange to those who are strangers to His ways...but you're going to
look wonderful to the Lord!
And, by the way, don't just think of praising Him in the congregation. Praise Him in your own private prayer time and throughout your day.
Learn to maintain an attitude of praise and thanksgiving. When praise becomes natural to you in your own private life, it won't be difficult
to praise Him in the midst of the congregation.
Are you longing for a revival of God's presence in your life?
Are you tired of just hearing about the glorious manifestations of His power in the past? Then open your mouth and your heart and do what
God has created you to do. Praise!
I love my Brother and Sister Copeland,over many years they have fed me
spiritually,even when I was down and couldn't go to church from nerve problem in my leg.I have always been on the same page with them,
just took awhile for my faith to grow. Praise the Lord for all that
spread the gospel.It is the desire of the Azusa Sisters to touch hearts,
give revelations from the word of God and his blessings in our lives to
get a word of knowledge and pass it on.
