Reveal Gathering

Back in December, we were honored to hear the testimony of brother Anthony Burla from Florida. Anthony was involved in a motorcycle crash back in February 2018, that left him with a broken skull, nerve damage, and in a coma for a month. But even if the doctors gave up hope, we know God is still at work today. We pray that God continues to work and bless brother Anthony, and for his testimony to encourage us to continue seeking after God’s work.

Behold, the Prince of peace is born. His peace transcends all of our worries and problems. He is right here trying to give you what you need, just ask Him. He wants to offer you everything. Where do you turn to for your peace? It had to happen. He came to make a way and bring salvation to the world.

Immanuel: God with us Even in your struggles, He fulfills His promises. Stop being blinded by your doubts and disappointments, look at the fulfillment of God's promises as seen in the birth of Jesus. For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given... He was sent down from heaven for us. Just because it might take a while, it doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Don’t let the failed expectations you had from anyone or anything lower the expectations you for God to work in your life.

Do you know of God or do you know God Himself? What does God want? He wants to have a relationship with His creation, but we have all turned away from Him. His Kingdom is not of this world and is always growing. It will reign in an unshakable manner that no power of hell can destroy God's everlasting Kingdom. Yet the God who reigns over Heaven and Earth, is the same God who is after you. He wants you to be unshakable for His Kingdom.

A personal testimony shared from our own sister Beatrice Cinpean. She shares how fear tried to take her life. But God was relentless after her and wants to continue His Kingdom here on earth today.

“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few." A harvest is Gods provision and blessing over His people. He calls us to work in His fields and His kingdom. There is a lot of work to do and not enough laborers. What work is required? We always ask what is our calling. But Christ gave us all one command: To go into all the world and spread the Gospel.

"For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance." "Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them." What are you doing with what you are given? Young people regret doing things and old people regret not doing things. How have you invested into the Kingdom? What is your ministry? We are called to be laborers with Christ.Talents are designed to be shared and spent. He shows us mercy therefore we have to as well. Live out as Christ did and don’t invest into riches here but in the kingdom.

"Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” There is power in faith. Faith is the main component of being in the Kingdom of God. You acquire faith by hearing; and hearing by the Word of God. With faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains. Just go to Him for and with everything and He will deliver big results.

"When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Jesus was born into our world that we might be born into His kingdom. Nothing in this world compares to the kingdom of heaven. The values of the kingdom should be our lifestyle. The message of the kingdom should be our primary message. The right believing works lead us to right living. Do you value what Jesus values?

Your words have power. Are you going to speak life or death. Thank God for the blessing and gifts He gives you each day. Cultivate joy. Don’t be resentful or bitter towards God if things don’t go your way or according to your time or plans. Don’t hide or try to cover your mistakes/sins but have courage to ask for forgiveness, and own your part. Don’t speak negative think over yourself. Let Him be in control and don’t try to work salvation by your own hand.

"So then you are no longer strangers and aliens." "But you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God." In a world of darkness, we are called by Jesus to be a light. Jesus lived the life we never could so that we can be citizens of heaven. Your righteousness is exclusively by faith. Leave your burdens behind and just live your new identity He has prepared for you as citizens and saints of the Kingdom.

"Do not be anxious about anything" "But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your prayers be made known to God." Anxiety is not a new discovery. People have been struggling with it since the beginning of history. Yet anxiety exists behind God's peace. Pray and seek God first, don’t worry first. Don’t let prayer be your last resort to a problem, but make it your first response.

“You are the salt of the earth" “You are the light of the world" We are called to be the flavor and truth of God's Kingdom. If we lose our saltiness we are useless for the kingdom. Salt brings out flavor and taste, but also makes you really thirsty. We are supposed to make people thirst for the living water. After all this they should see something different in us, and that is our light. Let your light shine before men.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” The kingdom of God is at hand. We are His kingdom; the space where heaven and earth overlap. It’s all under His authority, rule and reign. Because of Jesus’s sacrifice, He did not die just for you to live in a cycle. He died so His kingdom of Heaven can invade Earth. Christ’s Kingdom is wherever we are. In His Kingdom, forgiveness, healing, and power reign forever.

Boldness _____ We are commanded directly from Christ to witness to all nations. We have to take action and take risks. You don’t have to have all the answers, all you have to do is try. You don’t have to go out and witness alone; Jesus always sent the disciples out two by two, so they could help each other. Rely on the Holy Spirit and ask Him to speak through you and for you so we can show the world who Jesus is.

The Holy Spirit _____ We have to walk through, by, and with the Holy Spirit. As believers, we are the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit here on earth. Without the Holy Spirit, all our efforts are in vain. Deny yourself and abide in the Spirit. Our parents had a legacy of oppression and affliction but held fast; this should strengthen us. They gave their everything to God leaving us a legacy to follow.

Faith _____ The substance of the things we hope for; the evidence of the things we cannot see. Faith is the foundation of the Christian journey. One step of faith can change your life. Our faith will lead us into eternity. Faith without works is dead, just as works without faith is. We need to stop saying that we will believe it when we see it, but trust that we will see it when we believe it.

Prayer _____ Prayer is to address God with all adoration, confession, supplication, and thanksgiving. Prayer is our direct line of contact with Jesus. Don’t be afraid to rely on or cry out to God. He is alive and active, and He hears your prayers.
