Some Things We Can Know

Here's the message from Wednesday night's revival meeting. Looking around our world today, there is so much uncertainty. You could wake up tommorrow and not have a job, you could lose all you have in this world...some things you just can't count on. But the Bible tells us that we can count on GOD! And there are things we can KNOW without a shadow of doubt in this life. And knowing those things, taking them into our hearts and leaning on them, can make the uncertain not seem so bad.
I want to take time out to praise the Lord for what I feel like, slowly but surely, he is doing in our church. I haven't been saved and in church for long at all and I remember thinking that revivals were held so lost people could get saved. In every revival I've been too, my foremost thought, or at least one of them, has always been "I wonder whose gonna get saved?" But I know this morning that, although people getting saved would be a blessing, this time around that's not my main concern. For the first time, I've gone into revival with the #1 desire to see myself changed, shaped, refined...so at the end I'm a little more for God than I was before. #2 I want my church to be revived #3 I wanna see someone saved. So enjoy another message by Brother James York...you may not know him but I ask you to pray for him as he seeks the Lord's will in our revival.

James York: Some Things You Can Know

Fill Er Up...

"But the fruit of the Spirit is dressing right, shouting loud, running the isles, bragging about how good we are, talking right..."
What? That's not Galatians 5: 22-23! However, the way most church folk view the evidence of the Holy Spirit, it ought to be!
Brother James York preached about how we can know we are filled with the Holy Spirit, and its a far cry from what we normally view as spirit-filled.
The part that really really stuck with me, was how Brother York pointed out that the fruits of the Spirit are all INWARD qualities, not outward. We tend to think a service was spirit-filled if the preacher hollered and spit and if the men shouted "AMEN" really loud, outward things. But without discernment, we make these mistakes. We make snap judgements of people's spirituality based on what we can see on the outside.
The Holy Spirit always deals with the inner man...for, as Brother York points out, if God can get on the inside, He can control the outside.
Enjoy this message...take it to heart.For without the Spirit, what we do for the Lord is in vain.

James York: Filled With The Spirit

Revival Meeting: Monday Night

Calvary Baptist kicked off it's first ever revival last nite with James York preaching. Brother James hit us first thing with a hard, but needed message warning us about what can happen when our love for God grows cold. Revival these days, true revival not just meetings, costs quite a bit and I hope we're willing to pay the price for it, because if our little church can get a little fire about us we'll be able to make a real difference for the Lord in these last days.
WARNING!!!! If you don't like being convicted of sin, this may not be the best message. But if you recognize conviction by the Holy Spirit as God's means of bringing you closer to HIM and making your spiritual life better, than you will appreciate the "whoopin".
Grab your Bible and some bandaids...

James York: When Your Love Grows Cold

Are You Serious?!!!!!

This morning, I'm praising God for His goodness. I have been privilaged over the last, almost 7 years of being saved to hear some good preachin'. I can honestly say that so much of that good preaching, I've heard recently. And that encourages me. I'm sure if you've got any sense at all, you can see how things in this world are going...our nation is in trouble, it's people are in trouble, and the church as a whole is not helping, I'm afraid. So the fact that we're living in the last days...days when people everyday are sittin' down and quittin' on God, and I can honestly say that the good preaching I've heard is coming in these last days is encouraging. There are still men who will preach the truth, many of them in my generation. And there are still people who love the Lord and love the preaching of His Word, annointed and approved by Him. There are still those whose ears aren't all itchy for something superficial and watered down.

This message was preached by Brother James York, a young , on fire preacher at Wright's Chapel Baptist Church on a Thursday night. Brother York preaches on the solemn days in which we are living. So many Christians seem to be living their lives seemingly unconcerned that there are troubled people all around us that need Jesus. We're not serious...we don't take God's Word serious, His service serious...nothing really. This message will challenge you and it's the truth...I'm afraid so many churches have kicked the Holy Spirit out of their churches and he'll never darken the doors again and without that Spirit, there will be no conviction and where there is no conviction, their will be no new births. How serious are you taking these last days...
