Genesis 6:1-22
Noah - One Man
We live in times that are so similar to Noah's, the heart of man hasn't changed at all from that time to this, it is still deceitful and desperately wicked Jeremiah 17:9.  But neither has God's power changed or his ability and willingness to save sinners.. amen Isaiah 59:1
 
It was a privilege to be shown things about Noah and the Lord opened my eyes and just shared some wonderful things with me , which I would like to share with you now
We are modern day Noah's in certain ways
Vs 5- We live right in the midst of a world that is continually evil and does not respect God's laws, we are part of this world, but we are not of it John 17:15-16, we have a different and unique calling, to be holy ( set apart ) and to serve the one true God.
Vs 8- 9 In all this evil, there was one man, Noah who walked with God, I find that truly amazing, there has always been through scripture, the ones who have stood up for truth and walked serenely and dynamically with their God. I am reminded of what God said of Job in Job 1:8, would God have said  the same thing about me?  We often say that because of the situation we are in, we can't have that close fellowship with God, but because of our situation, we are able to have a close fellowship with our Lord, the difficulty of our earthly life, should drive us to a closer and deeper walk with God, as we rely on Him.. totally and completely.
Noah found favor, God is looking for men and women, who he can pour his favor out unto, he searched the whole earth looking for someone, he is still doing that today.
Noah also receives specific instructions on what to do to save the animals vs 14-21, just like us, we have received the Great Commission from our Lord, on saving souls, no wonder this was virtually the last thing JESUS said to his disciples that was recorded, don't you think Matthew is trying to tell us something,?
This is an amazing thing and isn't this true of all God's servants, he did all that the Lord commanded him vs 22, pretty simple this Christian life isn't it. It is simply a matter of doing as you are told, you are not your own, you are the Lord's. 
 
What would of happened , if Noah has used shortcuts to building the ark. God had given Him specific instructions, told Him to build it in gopher wood. What if He had said ' can't find much gopher wood round these parts' and used other materials. If God commands us to do something he will give us the resources. We are here to do as we are told by the Lord, not to make our own plans.. amen
So Noah had to go and fetch one of each species and bring them into the ark, just like us, we are commanded to go and bring every nation , male and female into the ark of God's love, yes we are told to go and bring people of all nations to the true ark, which of course is our precious savior, Jesus.  We are never told in scripture to stay in church and be complacent, if you aren't getting out as a church into your community, city and  you are expecting people to come to you, then you are disobeying the great commission given by the LORD. You know you can put on great evangelism programmes in our churches, but the test of every christian and church is how effective they are in their community.. amen
Once the people were safe in the ark, they were truly safe, once we come to the true protection of Jesus, we are safe in his arms, there is an ark today and it is Jesus , to bring people into the safe refuge of his love is an amazing privilege, he has given us this job, lets get to it church.
  
God is still looking for men and women who will walk with Him and obey Him. The christian life is not complicated. It is a question of walking with God.. not ahead of Him or behind Him and obeying what he tells you to do.
 
In 1858 in New York City, three men met for a prayer meeting one lunchtime.. one year later 100,000 souls had been saved.  The Welsh revival of 1904, came about because a few ladies and one man, prayed and sought God like never before. We are the only people who can change the world, because we are sent by the One who is Love and Hope with the glorious message of the gospel.. amen
 
Are you prepared to walk with God and obey his voice?.Whatever the cost
 
God bless you

Welcome to Prayer Focus.
 
This time, we are concentrating on three small islands in the Caribbean
 
St Vincent and the Grenadines
 
Population 140,000
 
Christian Community 24% of Population
 
Praise God for the increasing co-operation between the various churches and pray that this may continue
 
Although many on these islands claim to be Christian, most of them have no personal faith in Jesus Christ. There is a lack of personal holiness, no spiritual fruit and apathy sweeping the churches. Please pray that the winds of revival would spread through these islands and that the church would reflect the Glory of God
 
Pray that the churches, would be led by men who love only God and preach Christ and him Crucified. Pray for the 3 small bible school extension programmes
 
 
St Lucia
 
Population 215,000
 
Christian Community 10% of population
 
There is a significant christian community, but it needs the power of the Holy Spirit to flow into it, so it can be liberated from religious practices, that deaden it. Pray for a real spiritual awakening within the church and country, where 80% of all children are born outside of marriage
 
There are encouraging signs, strong bible based churches have grown. Please pray that they would have an increasing impact on society
 
Please pray for the work among secondary school children and university/college students. Please pray that the word of God, would touch people's hearts and lives and transform them.
 
Pray for the Wycliffe team translating the NT into French Creole. Pray that this work, would be completed soon and this NT would impact society.
 
Please pray for the christian bookshop in the capital Castres, that it would be well used, and that the Word of God, would be placed at the centre of church life and society 
 
 
St Kitts - Nevis
 
Population 40,000
 
Christian Community  20% of Population
 
These islands have gained a bad reputation as places for drugs and money laundering. Pray that these islands, where a great many go to church, may have it's reputation turned on it's head and become islands set apart for God
 
Pray for deep and widespread revival on these islands
 
 
 
Father in the precious name of Jesus. we know that these islands are situated in hurricane alley. But we ask that your Holy Spirit, would blow like nothing else and blow out all the trappings of religious observance and change these islands into places, where Jesus is the very centre of society. we ask that your church, would be touched with your glory and holiness and that it would turn back to you in repentance
 
We ask these things for your glory Father
 
In Jesus Name
 
Amen
 
 
Thanks for praying
 
God bless you

My Dear Friends
 
When I started this website, one of the last pages, i put on it, was the prayer requests page.  the Lord had to correct me and share that HE wanted it on the site.  The Lord... as always.. has been proved right...amen.
 
This has been the most visited page on the site and I wish to ask for your help here.  Due to the number and urgency of some of the requests, I need people who will become site Prayer Partners. This means, you will do three things:
 
You will commit to pray for me and the site as often as you can
You will come onto the prayer requests page as often as you can and pray over the requests as often as you can
You will join in the special times to pray for revival every Wednesday.  Just for a few minutes, please ask God to grant revival in these 4 areas
 
Your own life
Your church
Your community/city
Your nation
 
I know this is a lot to ask, many of you have very many prayer requests to pray for and are very busy in service for the Lord. This is only if you feel led to do this, by the Lord. Your name will not be placed on the prayer requests page, it will be known only to God and yourself.  I know that people are praying and that is enough for me, no need to tell me your name and Location.
 
Thanks
 
God Bless you
 
Keith
