MEMORIALS OF REVIVAL

Revival Memorials...
This just came to me… “Each generation has to dig their own well of revival!“ Genesis 26 (Isaac had to re-dig his father’s Wells HIMSELF). The Philistines (the enemy) filled them up with the dirt from the earth which speaks of the former generations blessings being buried and the next generation uncovering them because it is their inheritance! Glory!!!
However, the existing generations that have experienced revival in the past , have “memorial stones” to point the next generation to and say “Look what the Lord has done and look what he can do now!” ( Joshua 4: 4-7) Shabach! It makes me want to shout!
God told Joshua to set up a memorial of 12 stones from the 12 tribes in the Jordan River so they could point their children back in future generations to what God had done in their parents and grandparents generations!!! Hallelujah and praise God!!! He is a multi generational God… The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! Glory to God!
We still use memorials up until this day. There’s a Vietnam war memorial, there is memorial day, we have graveyard memorial tombstones etc....Why? To remember those who have gone on before us and what they accomplished!
We are not to look back and despise those things i.e., the powerful hymns and music that came out of those eras, the moves of God, or the stories and testimonies that our spiritual forefathers left behind. They are there to bring us back and remind us of the everlasting love and power of God! Think about that!!!
“Remove not the ancient landmarks that your fathers have set!” Proverbs 22: 28
Some former reformers, revivals and revivalists but not in this order are: George Whitfield, Charles Finney, William Booth, Charles Spurgeon,Steve Hill, Jonathan Edwards, Billy Graham, Billy Sunday, the Toronto blessing, Asuza Street, the Brownsville revival,John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, John Huss, William Seymour, Charles Parham, Smith Wigglesworth,
And the list goes on and on. Glory to God!!!
I feel the Lord stirring me to go back and visit these moves of God as memorials and tell them to THIS generation that has not experienced it “YET!” Also to encourage and revive the existing generations who’s fire may have died out!!!
Whoop whoop I feel like preaching up in here!!!

The Whipping Post

The Whipping Post An Early Morning Revelation 1/17/19 By Mary Ann Wray “So then Pilate took Jesus and had Him scourged (flogged, whipped). And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe around Him; and they kept coming up to Him, saying [mockingly], “Hail, King of the Jews [Good health! Peace! Long life to you, King of the Jews]!” And they slapped Him  in the face .” John 19: 1-3 AMP   As I awoke this morning I had a quick vision. I saw Jesus’ back being torn to shreds by the cat of nine tails while he stood silently tied to a Roman Scourging Column. There He stood; totally innocent of any wrong doing and being punished for being righteous. He told me today “Write about the whipping post.” I asked, “Lord, why do you want me to write about the whipping post?” He said, “I want my people to see that it’s one thing to suffer for wrong doing but it’s another to suffer for love and righteousness. Many of my...

What if?

  November 14, 2020 Mary Ann Wray   What if?  These "What if" thoughts came to me while finishing dinner tonight...  Maybe God was trying to show me something. I don't know, but I believe we will certainly find out in His time. While some declare certain victory of their political candidate and others are still theorizing and prognosticating over what will take place, bitter words and divisiveness is being sown around daily like wild seeds. Meanwhile, I think the Father sits back on His throne shaking His head and even chuckling at our human efforts to make things right and/ or figure out the way things ought to be.... Scripture says that "God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways our higher than our ways!"  Here are some thoughts that came to me this evening.... I don't claim they were necessarily from God-maybe so, maybe not. On the other hand, these ideas are definitely not comfortable to my way of life! Here goes....

Paper Lies and the Law of Love

Paper Lies and The Law of Love… Mary Ann Wray I had a dream a while back where I was ministering the word of God to a congregation of people, when all of a sudden, little yellow pieces of paper (similar to post it notes) with legs began running out of the church towards the foyer door then out of the building. As the little papers with feet ran out of the building, people were being set free from bondages and the place was emptied out as the Holy Spirit washed over God’s flock with the word of the Lord. I asked the Lord what these pieces of paper were and He said, “Lies”.  You see, when God’s word is declared, that is free of ad-mixture, people can get liberated. The lies of the enemy, are like post-it notes.   They stick to our thinking and declare and decree things over us and to us that are untrue. They are half truths about God, ourselves and others. These “paper lies” seek to rule and dominate our thinking frustrating the flow of God’s grace and power...
