Hindrances to Revival

Hindrances to Revival Answers & Scripture Verses

1. What is the catalyst for revival?

When God’s people sanctified themselves, when they searched their hearts with a tender conscience to see if they harboured any secret sin, it preceded a move of God’s Spirit.

If we are calling upon God even with great anguish, yet fail to receive anything, it might be that our prayers are unanswered because of sin. The Bible says that our iniquities will keep God from hearing us.

We can ask in faith and expect answers if we uncover our sin make straight the crooked ways and gather the stones in our hearts.

But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ Romans 14:10

Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. James 4:11

And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? Luke 6:41

Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye. Luke 6:42

Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." John 7:24

But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. Isaiah 59:2

What is ‘true prayer’?

True prayer is travail of the soul, a groaning empathy. But then it tells the dead to ‘Come to Faith.’

What is happening at Church at home this week?

What is Church at home?

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all people reading this may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and send his ministering angels to watch over you as you go about this life he has given you.

The purpose of this space is to lift up and glorify the name of Jesus Christ, to share the love and the gospel to a sad and dying world. It promotes his online church “Church at home” this concept was formed to help people that struggle through sickness, disability, or have had bad experiences with the church that stops them from getting to live church services.

We are non denominational and have from around the world, people that attend Church at home service that do go to and take active roles in Sunday Churches. Church at home is a bible based Church and preaches the gospel as it is, you will not find sermons here to the likening of all, but we teach it the way it was taught by the early church hard hitting to the point and at times confrontational.

We believe that there is no place for a watered down soft gospel to keep people happy the truth as much as it can hurt at times is given here. I would encourage you to have a look at our doctrine that can be found at our website http://churchathome-au.com/index.php?p=1_4_Doctrine To keep up to date with what is happening at

What does 2009 have in store for Church at home?

As I sit at my desk writing this, amazed at what God has done at Church at Home in the past 21 months, we were 9 months old when I sat this time last year and wrote what has become an all to familiar site on our weekly blog telling newbie’s to the blog what we are all about, as you read this we will start the new year being 22 months old and where 2008 laid the foundations for a challenging, fresh outlook for Church at home for 2009 I believe we will continue to see, lives changed, people set free, a greater understanding of God’s Bible given, my friend as I have said for some time now 2009 is the year that Church at Home members will take what from Satan what Satan had no right to take in the first place,

· Our Wealth
· Our Health
· Our Rights
· Our Authority

We need to remember this, for "who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:16) we have the mind of Christ praise the Lord and then we need to be “casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5) How may time do I say “Satan wins your mind he wins you?” My friends take comfort knowing this “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Luke 10:19. Nothing shall by any means hurt you, do you believe this so we can go and take back what Satan has taken from us I have no doubt over this, why because Revelation 12:11 says “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” How did they over come Satan and his cohorts, by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony, and they died of the flesh and followed the will of God for their lives. Saints this is why I know we have the victory and why we will take back our wealth, health, rights and authority.

2009 will take Church at Home to a minimum of three countries, will allow us to video tape our messages and place them on the world wide net for a greater number of people to see, will see the use of spiritual gift to be developed and used within the Church.

I believe that we as a Church are being called to focus on these areas for 2009 they are

To seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all else with be given until you Matthew 6:33.

To test by the spirit of God all Teaches, Preachers, Pastors to make sure they are using the word of God. 1 John 4:1-3, 1 Thessalonians 5:21.

To understand that we have the mind of Christ therefore take captive any thought that doesn’t line up to the mind of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5

To use the God given authority we have to take control of our lives and not give Satan & his cohorts a foot hold to come and destroy us. Luke 10:19.

To be consistently filled with the Holy Spirit. John 7:37-38

We long to experience a deeper manifestation of your presence as we draw closer to you like never before. James 4:8

To worship in spirit and truth. John 4:23

Showing the love of Jesus Christ to a lost and hurting world. 1 Corinthians 13To follow the calling of the Great Commission by building on the foundations set in 2008. Matthew 28:19-20

Be still and know I am God Psalms 46:10

2008 was exciting, but hold your horses 2009 will be mind blowing so fasten your seat belts, and we pray you can be part of it all for his glory

You are the only all-powerful and only wise God. You are kind and loving in all your ways. I love you and thank you that I am united with Christ and spiritually alive in Him.

Thank you for the have in Christ. I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit so I may say no to sin and yes to You. I declare my total dependence upon You, and I take my stand against Satan and all his lying ways. I choose to believe the truth of God’s Word despite what my feelings may say. I refuse to be discouraged; you are the God of all hope. You are the God of all hope. Nothing is too difficult for You . I am confident that you will supply all my needs as I seek to live according to your Word. I thank you that I can be content and live a responsible life through Christ who strengthens me.
I now take my stand against Satan and command him and all his evil spirits to depart from me. I choose to put on the full armour of God so that I might be able to stand firm against the devil’s schemes. I submit my body as a living and holy sacrifice to God, and I choose to renew my mind by the living Word of God. By so doing I will be able to prove that the will of god is good, acceptable and perfect for me. In the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, amen.

Thank you for this time of renewal and refreshment though sleep. I accept it as one of Your blessings for Your children, and I trust You to guard my mind and my body during sleep.
As I have thought about You and Your truth during the day, I choose to let those good thoughts continue in my mind while I am asleep.

Wayne’s Weekly Bible Verses

19For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;
20and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law;
21to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ ), that I might win those who are without law;
22to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
23Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
