MASS REVIVAL BREAKS OUT ACROSS TENNESSEE: 'THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME AND TOOK Control
#prayer #revival #top headnes #positive headlines #Tennessee
Some 1,000 churches in Tennessee are joining together for prayer and fasting as part of Awaken Tennessee, a 30-day prayer event.
Awaken Tennessee kicked off Jan. 26 and runs through Feb. 23.
According to CBN News, 220 churches in East Tennessee are joining in the event. Another 800 from central and west Tennessee have also committed to the month of prayer.
Pastors in Tennessee say the event has already generated interest in the community with revival services happening all over the city. CBN News reports that the pastors say visitors attending the services have said they can "feel the Holy Spirit as soon as you enter the building.”
“This is not about my church or a denomination, we are simply hosting an event in partnership with churches to see true lasting revival take place,” said Rev. John Butler, pastor of East Rogersville Baptist Church.
“The Holy Spirit came and took control,” he said. “From the first worship song, people began to flood the altar for prayer, and continued to do so for restoration and to receive Christ. We haven’t manipulated our people. They came expectant and God simply showed up.”
The revival has been described as “exploding” in Tennessee.
"This rally is not about our church or any particular denomination, but it is our effort to join the concentrated prayer effort across the state for true revival in our churches that precipitates an awakening in our communities, state, and nation," Sheldon Livesay, the East Tennessee coordinator for Awaken Tennessee told the Rogersville Review. "There are exponential results as you bring multiplied groups together to pray."
To kick off the monthlong event, Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Terry and Barbi Franklin led worship services in Rogersville. Former members of the Gaither Vocal Band have since also been invited to lead worship services.
“We’ve been praying for this kind of outpouring in our own nation for many years,” they said. “We’ve been longing to see America’s churches become houses of prayer again and revived in their first love for Jesus.”

Suffering in the Believer's Life
Prayer: Who Needs It?
1 John 5:5-8
5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
Transformation: The Possibility of Change
Revelation - Lesson 27, Revelation, The Final Chapter
Revelation - Lesson 26, One Thousand Years of Peace
Who is Jesus? What a provoking question. Even 2000 years later, the world is still asking the same question. It makes you wonder how long before Jesus came to this earth as a babe in Bethlehem that He was? If He still is, could it be that He always was?
Perhaps it is hard to understand someone who has always been. Where does He start or where does He finish? Something or someone that has no beginning or no end cannot be understood by a human mind that demands two opposite absolutes to determine what time it is in this eternal continuum.
Could it be that faith is the doorway into this eternal premier? Listen and watch the following video by Billy Graham as he asks the world this famous question, who is Jesus?

Peace on Earth, Christmas Day during World War 1
May our Lord and Savior be with you today and bless you with His very presence. May we remember the meaning of this joyous occasion today.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
May we unite today in one harmonic sound of prayer, “Peace on earth good will toward men”.
Consider the following video of how peace was found on Christmas Day in the middle of the battlefield in World War I.

Blessings and Merry Christmas,
