Summer Bonfires

The RIOT youth gather monthly at Paradise Point near Sea World to celebrate God.
The bonfire services serve as both social gatherings with sports and games along with singing and powerhouse speakers. As the night falls, a speaker brings the Word of God under the glow of the firelight. Bonfire Services are transformational in the lives of our young people, and something new and exciting is always sure to happen.

The Message: Back To Revival

By Tim Cooper

The book of John, records two revivals. These are not revivals as in churches having revival;these are actual and literal raising of dead people from the grave. The first one was Lazurus and the second was Jesus.

/*********************Scripture**************************************/
John11:44-- And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith
unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
/*************************Scripture*********************************/

Before we have true revival, even if God brings the dead forth, they are bound hand and foot with grave clothes. But Jesus said "Loose him and let him go."

When there is true revival, there needs to be a loosing, of grave clothes. Its time for us to stop wearing the clothes of the dead, and start wearing the clothes of the living.

These grave clothes bind our hands, our Feet, and our Faces.

Bound hands can't clap, can't be lifted, can't worship, can't work ,and can't praise

Bound feet can't run, can't jump, can't dance, can't go out and testifiy.

A Bound face. A person with a bound face, cannot be seen, and cannot see. Our faces our covered and we canot see the Glory of God. As well, the world cannot see the MIRACLE that God is doing in our lives, because our faces are bound!

How do we know that it was lazarus? It could have been His great uncle. It could have been a disciple that Jesus planted in the tomb beforehand. But when we are LOOSED, the people see our testimony.

/*************************Scripture********************************/
John20:6-- Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the
sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
John20:7-- And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the
linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
/*************************Scripture********************************/

After we are loosed, you have got to let the linen cothes lie. You have to leave them there. Dont take them with you. Leave them in the tomb. Also leave the napkin that bound your face behind.
