Truths of Revival - God Love’s Families

God Loves Your Family

Just as we love those who are dear to us God loves the whole human family and He loves your family more than you could ever love them.

God Is not willing that any should perish but that all come to repentance.

When Someone comes to the Lord all the people in that person’s family become candidates for salvation and heaven.

Example of Paul & Silas

• Acts 16:13-34
• God used Paul & Silas to lead a city wide revival.
• They are arrested by the local authorities, beaten, chained and thrown into jail.
• At midnight instead of moaning and groaning they started a praise service.
• God sends an earth quake.

Paul & Silas

• The jailer is just about to kill himself when Paul told him not to harm himself.
• They lead the jailer to Jesus.
• Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved--you and your household.
• He and his household are saved and baptized.
• The jailer feeds them and was filled with joy because he came to believe, he and his whole family.

A Great Move of God

• Started with a family being saved and ends with another family getting saved.
• God loves families.
• Paul said we are part of the household of faith, part of the family of God.
• Believe God to save your family today--start believing it today and you will see them come to the Lord.
• The family is God’s idea; He designed the structure of the family.

There is a Satanic onslaught against the family today

• Example of same sex marriage.
• Thank God 31 states have passed constitutional amendments protecting the traditional family. One man one woman is marriage, not one man and another man or a woman and another woman.
• Example of the case in the state of Maine.

Example of Moses

Satan attacked the family right before Moses is born because he knew a great deliverance was coming for the people of God.

Example of Esther

Satan again attacked the family of God by trying to destroy the nation of Israel but God raised up a young woman who would save the nation and Esther comes into the kingdom for such a time as this to save the family of God again.

Example of Jesus

• Again the Devil attacks the family by destroying all the Jewish babies when Jesus is born.
• He was trying to stop the plan of God.
• God always uses a family to fulfill his purpose on the earth.

God Told My Former Pastor This:

• “Do you know… that if even one member of your family is living for God, each individual member (of your family) is highly favored?
• That a great host of angels has been assigned to bring these highly favored people to God?
• That they have orders to listen to no objections, but to hasten individuals to a point of choice?
• That if a person chooses the wrong way, the angels will begin the cycle all over again?”

What Can We Do To experience the promise of God for the salvation of our families?

• Believe.
• In the Lord Jesus Christ.
• Be saved.
• You and your house.

When We Get To Heaven

We will be amazed at all the families who will be there rejoicing in the Lord because someone in their family believed God, prayed and did all they could so their loved ones could come to the Lord and walk with Him!
