A Message from Pastor Bates:
Dear Faith Family and Friends,
Thank you for taking time to join the staff, elders and I in this critical 10-Day Countdown to Pentecost Sunday.
We know from Acts chapter 1, there were 120 Believers (men and women) who went directly from witnessing the Ascension of Jesus to the right hand of God the Father to the Upper Room to PRAY and PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER (the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all flesh).
When they first gathered in the Upper Room, they did not know how many days they would be there – they simply committed themselves to be “ALL IN” and to continue in Prayer and Preparation until they were filled with the Holy Spirit.
God’s sovereign plan called for the Initial Outpouring of the Holy Spirit to occur during the FEAST OF PENTECOST, when Jerusalem would be filled with people from various nations coming to celebrate. What better way for God to Birth/Launch His New Testament (UNSTOPPABLE) Church than with this powerful demonstration of God’s Power and Presence, resulting in 3,000 people accepting Jesus and people from different nations/languages hearing His Galilean Disciples declare the wonderful works of God in their various languages (by the unction, gifting, enablement of the Holy Spirit.)
As we enter into this 10-Day Countdown to Pentecost, I am asking you to join me in praying for a FRESH OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT upon each of our lives, our church and our region (we are inviting pastors and churches across the metro to join us on Sunday night, June 5 at 6pm for a CITY-WIDE CELEBRATION OF PENTECOST!).
I believe we are living in a critical time in which we are not only fighting for the souls of our loved ones and friends, but for the soul of our churches, our cities and our nations! THERE IS ONLY ONE CLEAR AND COMPELLING SOLUTION – A FRESH OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!
In addition to praying for this special celebration, each day, join with me in praying over the various areas of prayer focus that we have provided or you may create – but most of all during each prayer time, as the Lord to PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR PERSONAL PENTECOST!
If you are able, PLEASE JOIN US ON CAMPUS for any of these IN-PERSON Prayer Events (whether one per day, or even just one out of the 30 different ones that will be conducted). I’m confident, God will respond to our prayer times with a Fresh Outpouring of His Holy Spirit, with signs, wonders and miracles! (Invite people to join us too!)
