SEU IS IN REVIVAL!!!! 🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥

God didn't call us all to do the same thing. Sometimes we ministers try to be a jack-of-all-trades and we become the master of none. We try to do too much, we spread ourselves too thin, and the anointing's not there to do it.
That's the reason people get in trouble: They try to function in an office to which God didn't call them. They do something just because somebody else is doing it. And that is very dangerous.
I remember something that Brother Howard Carter said. He was a great teacher and a great man of God. I never knew him personally, but I had an opportunity to hear him preach once in Texas. After the service, I met him. He was about 70 at the time, and he lived to be over 80.
While we were talking, a woman came up to him, asking, "Brother Carter, would you pray for the healing of my child?"
He answered, "Go get my wife to lay hands on her. God doesn't use me much along that line, but nearly everybody she lays hands on gets healed, and nearly everybody I lay hands on gets baptized with the Holy Spirit." (That's a good combination, isn't it?)
I'd seen him take 19 people into a side room that night, speak a few words to them, lay hands on them, and all 19 of them began to speak in tongues the minute he touched them.
He said, "That's my ministry. That's where my anointing is. My wife's anointing is to lay hands on the sick."
When the woman left to look for Sister Carter, Brother Carter turned to us preachers and said, "Of course, I could have prayed in faith for her child, but if somebody's anointed to minister that way, it's a whole lot better."

Yes, he could have prayed the prayer of faith—any one of us ministers standing there that night could have prayed the prayer of faith and laid hands on the child. The laying on of hands belongs to all believers according to Mark 16:17,18.
But what was Brother Carter recognizing? He was recognizing that in the ministry some of us are anointed to do one thing and some are anointed to do another, and if we'll excel where our anointing is, we'll be a greater blessing to the Body of Christ.
No one is going to do it all. We need each other. I praise God for every ministry called of God and anointed with the Holy Spirit.

GROANINGS IN THE SPIRIT
- Kenneth E Hagin

Groanings that come out of your spirit and escape your lips are the Spirit of God helping or assisting you in prayer. There are some things that come out of your heart that can’t be expressed in words and are therefore expressed by groaning too deep for articulate speech.
These groanings are inspired by the Holy Ghost. They come from within you and escape your lips. Praying with groanings is one way of making intercession. Remember, intercession is praying for another, not for yourself. An intercessor takes the place of another.
Charles Finney, who began his ministry as a Presbyterian minister and later became a Congregationalist, knew something about prayer and intercession. He was known as a man who prayed down revivals.
Finney was once holding a revival meeting in a certain town. In that town there was a leading doctor who had

never gone to church. The doctor’s wife, on the other hand, was a wonderful Christian leader. The doctor claimed to be an infidel; he’d make fun of his wife and would never go to church.
Finney was an educated man who was trained to be a lawyer. This woman thought if her husband could talk to Finney, Finney would be able to help him. So she kept insisting that Finney come to the house on one of his days off. After much persuasion, Finney finally agreed to go to their home for a noon meal.
This doctor had a brother who was a farmer and a deeply spiritual man. The brother would come and stay in their home and go to Finney’s meetings. This farmer brother was staying there at the time Finney came to lunch. Actually, the doctor was a little ashamed of his brother because his brother wasn’t educated.
At the time appointed, Finney went to this doctor’s house, and as the four of them were at the table, the woman asked Finney to pray. Finney bowed his head and began to pray, but was checked in his spirit. He stopped praying and said that the Lord wanted the farmer brother to pray.
The brother began praying, but suddenly he just grabbed ahold of his stomach and started groaning and weeping and crying. He jumped up from the table and ran up the stairs to his bedroom. Finney said he jumped up and followed him.
The doctor thought that something was physically wrong with his brother, so he jumped up too. He reached his brother’s room before Finney. As Finney started to go into the room, the doctor was coming out of the room to go get his medical bag. He said his brother had some kind of stomach cramps.
But Finney took the doctor by his arm and said, “Doctor, there’s not anything physically wrong with him. Your brother has a spirit of travail and intercession. He’s praying and interceding for someone who is lost, and I think it’s for your soul.” The doctor je**ed loose from Finney and said he didn’t believe in that.
The doctor left and Finney went into the bedroom and shut the door. There the brother was just in an agony of prayer, in the Spirit. Finney knelt down beside him, and he began to groan in the Spirit too.
You see, you can help lift a spiritual load just like you can a physical load. In other words, if someone else is groaning and interceding in the Spirit, as the Spirit wills, you can pick up that prayer burden and begin to groan and travail just as the other person is groaning and travailing.

Finney began to feel part of the prayer burden coming off on him. So for forty-five minutes they knelt and groaned in the Spirit in prayer.
I know from experience that when you’re interceding for someone whose soul is lost, it feels like your own soul is lost when it actually isn’t. But because you’re taking someone’s burden upon you, you actually feel on the inside of you as if you were lost. Some people have had that burden and didn’t know what it was. But that is intercession for a lost soul. If you have a burden given to you by the Spirit of God, go ahead and groan and travail as the Spirit wills and pray it out.
Finney said that the brother and he were praying, and the doctor’s wife was downstairs just wringing her hands. The doctor had gone into his study angry and had shut the door.
Then after forty-five minutes of groaning, they quit groaning and started laughing. You see, you should always continue to pray until you have a note of praise or victory. You’ll either start laughing or start praising or singing. Then you know you have the answer to whatever it is you’re praying about.
Finney related that he and this brother rejoiced and laughed for a while. Then they got up from praying and went downstairs, and the woman asked Finney how the brother was doing. Finney told her what had happened and asked her where the doctor was. She told him that he had gone into his study and locked the door and wouldn’t let her or anyone else in.
Finney went to the door and knocked. There was no answer, so he called to the doctor. He asked the doctor if he would open the door because he had word for him about his brother. Finally, the doctor opened the door and asked Finney how his brother was doing.
Finney stepped into the room and told the doctor that it was just as he had suspected; the brother had been praying for the doctor’s poor, lost soul and that Finney had joined him in prayer. Finney told the doctor he was just as good as saved.
When he finished talking, the doctor dropped his head. The doctor then looked up and Finney saw tears streaming down the doctor’s face. The doctor got down on his knees and asked Finney to pray with him. The doctor told Finney he had been full of pride. Then he accepted Jesus and was gloriously saved.
Yes, there is a prayer of intercession for the lost — prayers of travail and groanings. It’s to be regretted that we don’t know more about intercession and travail anymore. But don’t be afraid to yield to groanings and travail if the Holy Spirit leads you that way. Of course, you can’t do these things in the flesh; they are accomplished in the Spirit, by the leading and assistance of the Holy Spirit.

Notice that Finney and the brother were groaning. They could also have been speaking with tongues and not have understood that’s what it was. Finney speaks in other places about unutterable gushings coming out of his heart. He would not have known what to call them. But “unutterable gushings” could certainly describe tongues too.
Why do I say that? Because according to P. C. Nelson, the Greek reads, “. . . with groanings that cannot be uttered in articulate speech” (Rom. 8:26). Articulate speech is your regular kind of speech, that is, speech in your native language.
So praying with groanings too deep for articulate speech could also include praying in tongues because speaking in tongues is inarticulate speech.
That agrees with what Paul said. Paul said that when he prayed in an unknown tongue, it was his spirit that was praying. And we read the Amplified translation of that verse, which says, “. . . my spirit [by the Holy Spirit within me] prays . . .” (1 Cor. 14:14).
In other words, praying with your spirit by the help of the Holy Spirit is prayer that is not coming out of your mind; it’s coming out of your spirit. It may be prayer in a known tongue — that is, unknown to you but known to man — or it may be prayer in an unknown tongue, understood only by God. But it is prayer that is inspired and directed by the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit helps the believer to pray. And He helps us to intercede for others. However, the Holy Spirit does not do the praying apart from the believer. It is our responsibility to take the time to pray and intercede for others and to obey the gentle urgings of the Holy Spirit to do so. As we yield to the Holy Spirit we may pray in groanings according to the will of God.
We can also pray in other tongues at will; we do not need to wait for the Holy Spirit to prompt us. As we yield to the Holy Spirit, He will give us utterance according to the will of God. That utterance may be in groanings or it may be in intercession in tongues, or it may be intercession in our understanding in our native language.

“I learned to listen to God’s whisper several years ago while having an intimate conversation with Leonard Ravenhill. Reverend Ravenhill is perhaps best known for his literary classic “Why Revival Tarries”. He was a gifted revivalist and chose to spend several of his last years pouring his heart into hungry evangelists.

By the favor of God I was given a place in his life. My wife, Jeri, and I lived just a few short miles from his home. We warmly cherish our many visits with Leonard and Martha, often around a cup of English tea and savoring a plate of fresh, homemade cookies.

One afternoon while sitting in his study, surrounded by thousands of vintage books, Leonard spoke these words to me, “Stevie, come here!” (He could call me anything, as long as he called me.) This request was strange because I was sitting just a few feet away. Regardless, I obeyed and scooted my chair closer. We were now almost touching knees when he again made the request, “Closer, Stevie.” My next maneuver had me just a few inches from his face. This was all so strange, but somehow I knew revelation was coming.

He then, in a soft tone, asked me to put my ear close to his mouth. When I did, the word came. It was barely audible. In a whisper he said, “Stevie, God has secrets to reveal to you. You must stay close. Very close. He never shouts His secrets.”

I am a weeper, and the tears flowed freely. The lesson from this eighty-year-old prophet of God was clear. If I wanted to receive young men’s visions (Joel 2:28) and hear His “still small voice” (1 Kings 19:12), then I must stay close. To be “under the shadow” of His wings (Ps. 17:8), I must be intimate. To receive the revelation, I must be leaning on His breast (John 13:23). I backed my chair away from this saint of God, not realizing how impactful those few moments would be. Are you near enough to receive from Him, or do you need to scoot a little closer?”

GOD DIDN’T TELL EZEKIEL TO READ THE BIBLE. HE TOLD HIM TO EAT IT

Ezekiel 3 is one of the most unsettling commands God gives a prophet, and that is why many avoid it.

God does not say study this. He does not say memorize this. He does not say preach this. He says, “Eat it.”

In Ezekiel 3:1–3, God gives Ezekiel a scroll filled with lament, mourning, and judgment and commands him to consume it. The point is not literacy. It is internalization. The Word must go through his mouth and into his stomach before it ever comes out of him. Ezekiel is not allowed to speak God’s words until they have become part of him.

And the scroll tastes sweet like honey.

That detail matters. The message he will deliver is harsh and costly, yet obedience is sweet. Truth satisfies even when it wounds.

This exposes how many people treat Scripture today. We skim. We quote selectively. We debate online. But we do not ingest it. To eat the scroll means Ezekiel cannot separate himself from the message. He cannot edit it for comfort or soften it for approval. The Word will come out of him as it went in, because it now lives inside him.

That is why Ezekiel becomes one of the loneliest prophets. His life turns into the message. There is no distance between the man and the Word he carries.

Jesus later echoes the same principle. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Not admired. Lived by.

God never wanted spectators.

He wanted vessels.

And until the Word is swallowed whole, including the parts that taste like judgment, it has not done its work.

God’s prophets are crying out to prepare the way of the King.
