To the Church in Lakewood:

Wow! This is like reading one of the letters in Revelation! The truth is, it feels like we are living right out of the Bible.
Friends, our services have been powerful. The worship team is on top of their game. We are enjoying a wonderful season of praise and worship. I believe our intercessory teams have broken through to heaven; evidenced by the special anointing when our sermons are preached. Combine this with an interactive Bible study on Sunday evening and the weekly applications in our LIFE groups, and we see the Body of Christ growing into a very healthy shape!

I believe the Lord is moving at Calvary Lighthouse in a very specific manner. There is a hunger for holiness in our midst. The scent of freedom is in the air. Life’s Healing Choices is providing us clear instruction for cleaning out our spiritual closets. The skeletons of our past are being confronted in the Light of His Word. One of the universal traits of revival is a surge in holiness. My hope is aligned with the Apostle Paul’s hope in

2 Cor 10:15b NLT
...we hope that your faith will grow so that the boundaries of our work
among you will be extended.

As our faith is perfected in holiness, as God’s judgment begins inside the House of God first, we then will see the fruit of revival. This is truly a region that is ripe for revival. Once the birth place of Methodism, both Wesley’s and Francis Asbury launched a great move of God from just north of us in Ocean Grove. For far too many years the fires of God’s people have been muted and cool.

Let’s press in and believe God for a great revival! It begins one person at a time. As you and I make the decision to be obedient to God’s Spirit we take another step towards revival. I can’t wait to see the fruit of completing these eight weeks. Press in friend. Press in and let’s see the boundaries of our word extend!
