When you walk with HIM
Bro. Holdridge
are, it is about who we are in Jesus. When we see that we are free in
Him, when we let go and go with Jesus. Our lives are changed. We died
on the cross with Him. So why do most people have a hard time of
letting go and letting Jesus minister to us daily. It is all about
Repentance not excitement. We need to see who we are. The spirit that
is in us, is real, when we let go of who we use to be and become who we
are in Christ. He didn't ask us to be Jesus like, but to be Christ
like. To move in His anointing in us. For us to move in Him in complete
victory, we have to go to Him with a pure heart. We have a natural
heart which is a pump. This keeps the natural body that we live in
alive. When we accepted the Lord as our Lord and Savior, we received a
spiritual heart, which is of Him. This the heart we use to love and to
care and to be full of the fruits of the spirit. Paul states in
Philippians 3 that he used all His energy to forget his past, so that
He could see what was in front of Him, so that he could reach the goal
that God had for Him. Do we look at ourselves or do we live in our
past. When we became born again, Jesus took our past from us, so we
need to work at staying in the spirit with Jesus, so that the Devil
must stay behind us. The devil is a spiritual being, so why do most
people try to defeat Him in the natural. We have the victory and in the
spirit have all the blessings of Abraham. We are chosen spiritually,
and have all the blessings of Abraham. Revival comes from Repentance,
not from a feeling. John the Baptist said repent or burn. People talk
about the healing of Smith Wigglesworth, but he preached repentance, so
did Charles Finney. True revival comes from looking at ourselves and
changing into the image of God, not our flesh.
I hear people talk about if revival last or do people go back to where
they were before God touched them. When we were in Truckee a woman who
came to the meetings in Tulare came and told how she has never been the
same. She also told how she received a prayer cloth for a friend who
had a tumor who couldn't be operated on. They put the cloth on the
tumor and in a few weeks the doctor popped it our with tweezers. We
still hear from Steve in Florida who traveled across the country to
California in his pick up truck. His life was touched and he was healed
of taking many pills each day. His story was in Charisma. He is still
growing after what happened to Him. Many stories like this. In Hayfork
CA were the meetings are still going each night, stories are still
coming in how, those who have been changed are still changed and
growing daily. Valerie who could not hear out of her right are and
could just about hear out of her left still has perfect hearing, also
she was set free of major hurts in her life is still walking free,
Also, her husband who would never come to church or have anything to do
with God, because of all of her past hurts, sees such a change in her
that he has been coming to church. Lives are being changed daily, We
are in the middle of our third week in Woodland = Davis area. Last
night we were at the New Testament church with Pastor Zeck. There were
also about 5 other pastors there. Two people stood up and gave
testimonies how they received creative miracles. The young lady with
the ruptured ear drum who has been transformed from a broken woman, to
a woman on fire for God. A man who leg was torn apart in a motorcycle
accident and the doctors wanted to reconstruct His leg, by taking the
tendons from the front of his leg and putting them in the back. Plus
pins and other things. He came one night and got healed emotionally and
then his leg was totally reconstructed by God. This happened the first
week. He never said a word until last night. Many things are happening
each night very subtly without much fan fair. Rachel who was a fearful
woman who wouldn't come within 4 feet of me, now after her life being
set free is on fire for God and people who wouldn't ever come to a
church have come because of the difference in her. So many yet, so
peaceful.
People are coming from Sacramento, Vacaville, Dixon, Woodlands and
Davis. Pastor Zeck has stated that what is happening that he had a
vision of it. That the woodland and davis are would have a revival of
the heart. It is happening and the Lord showed that it would touch
surrounding area. Five churches are working together and not worried
that they would loose members instead are gaining members. What
happened last night, is happening in all the churches involved All the
pastors have been praying together now for awhile for a revival in the
area and unity in the churches of the area. 5 pastors working together.
Much more but it would just take to long to tell about everything. All
I can say it is not about any man it is all about getting out of the
way and letting God be God in our lives. It is very humbling to see
what Jesus is doing when we all let Go and let Him live through us.
God Bless
