We want to celebrate the 20^th Anniversary in 2013 in the best possible way, and so we are asking for your ideas as to how we should do this e.g.  Special guest speakers, activities etc. If you have any thoughts on this please let us know by telephoning the office on 028 9031 1532. All ideas and thoughts will be considered.

Day of Prayer for Revival – The 4th Annual Day of Prayer for renewal and revival will take place this year on Saturday 23^rd June between 10.30am and 3.30pm. Will you help us in our publicity for this event? We very much need your help by taking leaflets to your own church. Please ask your minister if he/she will publicise the event and give leaflets out probably about the second week in June. We still have thousands of publicity leaflets available, but these can be delivered if we all play our part. I hope that you will be able to help us. Through prayer we CAN influence the present and the future of this country. Please keep this date free and try to spend as much of the day as you can with us in St. Anne’s Cathedral. One way of advertising this important event would be to phone round all of your friends and give them a personal invitation. Why not give it a try.

Below is a prayer for revival that you can use in your own devotions;

High King of Heaven, have mercy on our land.

Renew your Church.

Send the Holy Spirit, for the sake of the children.

May your Kingdom come to our nation.

In Jesus’ mighty name.

Amen.

Advance Notices.

Pastor Hendrik – Pastor Hendrik from Cali, Colombia will again be visiting the Province between 26^th June and 5^th July 2012 and will speak at all services on Monday and Tuesday 2^nd & 3^rd July. Please pray for the success of this visit.

Our CD Recommendation for June is “The Healing Power of Praise”.  Like many people I was aware of the healing power of prayer, the laying on of hands, and the anointing with oil but I was totally ignorant of this often overlooked area of the Ministry of Divine Healing. Thankfully that has now changed.  Drawing on his great wealth of personal experience accumulated over many years, Brother David, in this CD, explains in simple terms how we too can obtain healing from God by offering Him our praise.

St. Peters – We are delighted to be able to inform you that the next service at St Peter’s Cathedral, Falls Road will be held on Wednesday 27^th June 2012 and that the guest speaker will be Pastor Hendrik, from Colombia.

Also Iris Boyd, Jane Davidson, Maureen Hamilton, Pat Matheson,

Ronnie Orr and Kitty Norwood in bereavement.

Prayer Ministry during the Summer – This coming August Brother David would like to make prayer available on Mondays at 1.00pm in St George’s Church and on Thursdays in Townsend Street between 10.00am and 12.00pm.  In order for this to take place we require two team members to volunteer for the Townsend Street slots on 2^nd, 9^th, 16^th, 23^rd, and 30^th August. Please advise the office (028 9031 1532) if you can fill any of these vacancies.

Team Notice – There will be a day of Prayer in Brother David’s home on Thursday 12^th July 2012 for team members.  This will be from 11.00am until 4.00pm.  All team members will be very welcome to come along.  For catering purposes we ask that you notify the office if you are able to come. A light lunch will be served as well as the usual tea and coffee.

After the summer break there will be a number of special services held at St. Anne’s Cathedral.  On Monday 24^th September there will be another service on the theme of Cancer.  On Monday 22^nd October there will be a service on the topic of Addictions. The guest speaker at this service will be Dr. Stephen Rodgers from Kingsway Fellowship Church, Dunmurry. Then on Monday 19^th November Father Pat Collins will be joining us.  The theme of this service has yet to be confirmed.

Please remember all of these many and varied activities in your prayers.

Looking back with thanksgiving at what the Lord has done for this land

Looking back with thanksgiving at what the Lord has done for this land

Psalm 44 vs. 1 – 4

‘We have heard with our ears, O God, our forebears have told us all that you did in their days, in time of old;

How with your hand you drove out nations and planted us in and broke the power of peoples and set us free.

For not by their own sword did our ancestors take the land nor did their own arm save them,

But your right hand, your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you were gracious to them’

The Psalmist is giving thanks for what the Lord has done for his country in years gone by.  They were not trying to take the credit for themselves, not glorify events which God had no part in.  I felt that here in this country we could learn something from that.  We are going to be celebrating in the next few years events in this country which people owe great allegiance to.  I wonder could we start to put more emphasis on what the Lord has done for this country in the past, look for particular ways in which He built the country up, or answered prayer and rescued us at times of danger.  That would really be worth emphasizing, celebrating and giving thanks for.

Signs of Revival

Signs of Revival

Growth in a local parish

For almost twenty years I have been taking a service every year in a parish in East Belfast at the beginning of July, mostly when the rector is away.  The people are warm and friendly and I enjoy my annual visits.  But I could not help noticing over the years that numbers were beginning to dwindle, and a year or two ago seemed to me to be pretty small.  So I was pleasantly surprised to go on the usual Sunday in July, 2011 and to find the church well packed.  It was buzzing in a way that I had not seen before.  Recently I talked again to the Rector and he assured me that is the way it is every Sunday now, comfortably packed.  This is an ordinary parish in East Belfast and I just wonder is this growth a sign of the revival that is coming.  We have between 500 and 600 people who have been praying for revival for 2 ½  years, since the venture was launched in 2009, and I dare to believe that this very considerable growth is a sign that our prayers are being answered.

I have found the same thing in West Belfast.  A Rector has worked faithfully there for 20 years and all of a sudden very steady growth is starting to take place.  Numbers attending worship are the best since he has gone there.  From August until Christmas 5 or 6 individuals in the congregation have given their lives to Christ. A number of men with a paramilitary background are now coming to church.  Some have become committed Christians.  An ordinary parish in an area which suffered a great deal in the Troubles.  Is this another encouraging sign that revival is beginning?

At the other end of the scale a friend in Bangor who goes to a Presbyterian Church told me that in a church which holds 800 people they are having to put out extra chairs every Sunday.  This growth has been happening steadily in recent times.  Young people are very well represented in this church.

Is this another sign that revival is beginning?

David Jardine, December 2011

What is revival?

Psalm 85 V 6 ‘Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

 

WHAT IS REVIVAL?

According to Christmas Evans, the famous Welsh preacher, ‘Revival is God bending down to the dying embers of a fire and breathing into it until it bursts into flame’.  It is a hunger after God, an awareness of the need for holiness, an awakening of religious fervour.  It is something brought about by God alone – a divine outpouring of the Holy Spirit – and it starts with God’s people – His church.

One of the greatest outpourings of the Holy Spirit since the day of Pentecost was the 1859 revival and it touched America, Ulster and many other countries.  In Ulster it is said that there were strange manifestations.  People would fall to the ground and lie motionless for hours.  When they recovered they knew that God had visited them and were never the same again.

In the 1904 Welsh revival people cried out for mercy and forgiveness as they were convicted of sin.  Miners – hardened men – gathered round the pits to sing and pray as they became aware of a mighty God.  People would kneel in the street in tears and beg God to save them.

In the O.T. God seemed to be moved by the prayers of the saints – Moses, Abraham, Elijah, Elisha.  Their prayers were selfless, bold and specific and they were heard.  The two elderly sisters who prayed before the Hebridean revival had the same qualities.  Can we learn from that?

Revival is not evangelism – evangelistic crusades may bring many to Christ but that is not revival – rather it is a combination of the human and Divine.  Evangelism is what men do for God.  Revival is what God does for men.

Many of these thoughts come from the writings of Selwyn Hughes whose intense longing was for Revival.  He talked often of preparation – holiness of life, unceasing prayer and repentance and humility.  Are we willing to pay the price?

The cry is as it was in Isaiah’s time ‘O that you would rend the heavens and come down’.  Even so come Holy Spirit’.

The need for Revival

Football fans in Northern Ireland were disappointed on Tuesday, September 6 when the Northern Ireland Team was heavily beaten in Estonia, thus ending any hopes of qualification for the European Championships Finals. 

I believe that this defeat was much more than a football problem. Although I did not see the match, commentators noted how quickly the heads of the Northern Ireland players went down when they went behind.

Years ago this would have been unheard of – Northern Ireland players of the past fought to the final whistle and never gave up.

I noticed very much in the 1990’s, when the ceasefires were called, walking through areas which had really suffered, the heads of the people were down. There was a depressed spirit over very many of these areas. That has lifted somewhat in recent years, but there is still an enormous amount of healing to take place. When you hear that 40% of people in West Belfast are taking medication for depression, you realise how true this is.

All of this simply highlights the great need for revival of the faith in this country. One of the suggestions we have made to all those committed to praying for revival is that they ask God to breath the life of His Holy Spirit into all the churches. I believe that it is only the Holy Spirit who can bring the healing that it is  desperately needed and bring people truly alive again.

That is why it is so important that we make praying for revival an absolute priority.

Spirit of thanksgiving

One of the things that we need to pray for and work to develop in Northern Ireland is a spirit of thanksgiving.  There is so much to thank God for in this country.  Yet so often people are quick to complain when things do not go exactly as they wish.  A small number actually have a critical spirit.  St Paul tells us to give thanks in everything.  I believe when we do give thanks the spirit of God is released.  Going about giving thanks will help us, but will also bring a blessing to this land.

Two of the greatest enemies of revival in Northern Ireland? – sectarianism and traditionalism.

One of the areas where we need to repent is for putting our culture before God.

Importance of unity

Rev Jim Rea, former President of the Methodist Church in Ireland, told me that there is a new revival going on in the Potteries in England where a friend of his works.  It started when the clergy of various traditions made time to come together to pray on a regular basis.  ‘Behold how good and how beautiful it is when brothers and sisters dwell together in unity.  There the Lord commands his blessing, which is life for evermore!’

Revival Campaign to keep churches open during the day

It is a great sadness that in our country so many churches remain closed during the day.  Churches are almost always places of peace.  What a blessing to just drop in there and spend time in God’s presence.

One good example is St. George’s Church, High Street, Belfast. It is open every day until 3 pm.  When you go in through the door of that church you are struck by an amazing sense of God’s peace and presence.  I believe the reason for that is because, for almost one thousand years, there has been a place of worship on that site.  The present building is about two hundred years old.  There is a regular cycle of worship going on there every day.  This has developed a real sense of God’s presence.

I would like to find a way to keep churches all over the country open for at least a couple of hours every day, with a particular purpose, to pray for revival in this land.

Clergy will probably say, with some justification, that in this day and age it is not safe to leave churches open.  I have no doubt that the best security is to have people there praying.  What a blessing that would be to the church, to our Nation and to the praying individuals – to have churches open all over the country welcoming the Lord, to breathe the life of his Holy Spirit into the Church and into the Nation.

We need to pray for a spirit of unity between churches and within churches.

Recently  I have been reading about the East Africa revival which began in 1935.   It became one of the biggest revivals in church history and touched nine different countries – Burundi, Rwanda, Eastern Zaire, Southern Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia and Uganda.   When the revival eventually died down it was because of strife in the Church and arguments over doctrine.  In 1962 revival broke out again, but unfortunately strong splits and squabbles put out the fire of revival.

A friend of mine says that when Christians start to argue about doctrine, the Holy Spirit waves bye-bye.  Hence the need, the great need, to pray for a spirit of unity both between churches and within churches.
