Over 7,800 respond to Daystar revival program

Posted November 18th, 2009 by Steve Gray

This past Friday night, World Revival Church and Daystar broke a record for responses during our live airing. Over 7,800 viewers responded to the preaching of the Word and to the fervent pleas of our WRC youth crying out for life and rescue for the teens and young adults already disillusioned by dead religion.

5 Things That Stop Revival

Posted November 10th, 2009 by Steve Gray

God’s biblical patterns will produce a genuine revival move when followed. During the Burn Conference this weekend, I shared about what hinders people from following these patterns.

Pastors, leaders, and all believers need to be aware of and avoid at all costs these Revival Stop Signs:

1. Religious status quo cowards lead us. Some continue to promise revival but the truth is they don’t intend to change anything.

Do Something - Part Two - Change Your Goals

Posted November 7th, 2009 by Steve Gray

Ever wonder why you haven’t accomplished anything for God? Probably, because your goal is to do nothing! God wants to touch the world through His people but can’t do this if their whole goal is to relax and eventually live on some exotic beach. The #1 thing people mention in their letters to me is the preaching of the Word. The messages I preach don’t come to me by accident or because I am more special than other preachers. They come by hours and hours of studying and seeking the Spirit of God.

Do Something! Part One - Stop Clowning Around

Posted November 5th, 2009 by Steve Gray

There are many people sitting in church pews week after week wondering why they haven’t accomplished anything for God or why revival hasn’t come or stayed in their churches. I am certain there are a lot of good excuses that roll through their minds, but that’s just what they are, “excuses.” Many people are waiting on God as if He is going to come down on them and make their destinies instantly happen. This reminds me of throwing a bag of popcorn seeds in the microwave, zapping it for two minutes and poof, it becomes something ready to be used...or in this case, eaten.

Attack of the Clones

Have any of you ever been to a movie theater when a big name movie has just been released? Remember Star Wars, as many young and old would venture out dressed as Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, or Darth Vader to see an impressive array of futuristic spaceships and dynamic special effects. It’s always the same battle of good and evil with the classic line, “May the Force be with you.”

SHIELD OF PROTECTION

I wonder what my life would be like if I had not had a lot of help from God covering my back over the years. What would yours be like? Maybe your big ego wants to think that you have made your life what it is all by yourself. My ego won’t allow me to think that way because I remember what I made my life into. I remember when it all changed, too.

I BELIEVE IN GOD

Posted November 2nd, 2009 by Steve Gray

Most people believe in God but live as if there is no God. I know it’s a contradiction. If there is no God, then I am pretty much on my own aren’t I? On the other hand, if there is a God then I am not pretty much on my own. It all sounds too elementary, but think about it. If there is a God and I am not alone, then it would be foolish for me to live like I am alone on my own. In other words, I wonder what would happen if I would start to really act, speak and think God-minded, like there really is a God out there.

Canada Needs Revival, Eh!

Posted October 30th, 2009 by Steve Gray

I have seen an ongoing trend with our neighbors from the “Great White North.” The past decade, Canadians have continually visited revival services in Smithton and now at World Revival Church. They come in desperate need of change, transformation, and revival. What started out with a few hungry pastors and leaders has now spread throughout congregations. It isn’t unusual for some pastors to bring 30 or 40 people to our revival services. I am surprised when I hear many of them will drive over 24 hours just to get here.

Are You a Witch?

Posted October 29th, 2009 by Steve Gray

(I asked Kathy to step in as my guest blogger for today.)

Are you a witch? I’m not really trying to insult you, or accuse you of making potions or casting spells. But, I am trying to get your attention!

Every year, many people ignorantly celebrate Halloween and dress up like witches and goblins. If you would take a few minutes and research on the internet its true origins and what happens this time of year due to witchcraft and Satanism, I think you would be shocked. And hopefully, you would never again allow any children under your care to participate in any form of Halloween.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Posted October 28th, 2009 by Steve Gray

I’m not really a big sports fan, but when the air is crisp and autumn leaves are flying, I admit I like to follow the World Series. Will it be the Yankees or the Phillies winning the series? I’m leaning towards the Yankees beating the tar out of the Phillies, just because I like their pitcher, Andy Pettite.
