he Way God’s Word Spreads in Power

 Leviticus 18-19; Ps 13; Acts 19

“…the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor. Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds…In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.”

Acts 19:17, 18, 20

The Church in Ephesus experienced revival once their hidden sins were openly confessed and they repented. The evidence of revival was that both the Word of the Lord and the name of the Lord were honored and understood to have power to transform lives. When hidden sin, including witchcraft, is tolerated, God’s Spirit is grieved. With open confession and deliverance come the love, joy, and peace of God’s presence. It’s not enough to preach the Word of the Lord with great eloquence of fervor. We must pray for hidden sin strongholds to be exposed and lives set free. It is the anointing and work of the Holy Spirit who inspired the Word of the Lord which is needed to apply the Word to our lives unto transformation.

What’s holding back the spreading of the Word of the Lord and his power in our community?

Will we intercede until there is a breakthrough?

“Lord Jesus, your Word is life. Set our community and my own heart free to live for you, for your glory.”
