The Divine Edge of Opportunity

  • The Divine Edge of Opportunity

    I have been very enlightened by reading Sandi Patty’s new book called, The Edge of the Divine. It has caused me to think differently about the opportunities God sovereignly designs for us. He gives us the choice to step over an edge into something He has planned to work for our good. Romans 8:28. The good results honor Him. Revive has now stepped over the edge in accepting the responsibility to carry on ShareFest in Oklahoma City. This is a city wide, one-day event that provides an opportunity for hundreds of volunteers to work together to do good in our community by answering the various cries for help. The date for this one day project will be Saturday, April 16, 2011.

    In the meantime, we are asking you to pray for the Revive Board in this time of transition. There are many decisions to be made and many more edges to step over. Please pray for these 11 women to have the mind of Christ at every meeting; to work with joy and energy of the Holy Spirit, and to experience a great support team of people who will pray regularly. Let us also pray that many more church volunteers will be excited and willing to step over the edge and work when that time is opened for them. This will result in transforming our city with the love of God and hard working hands
    Genesis 16 tells the story of Sarai, Abram’s wife, who had an Egyptian servant named Hagar. When Sarai became impatient with waiting to conceive her promised child, she chose to take things into her own hands and give her servant to Abram as his secondary wife. There was an obvious lack of prayer. Hagar became pregnant and looked down on Sarai, despising her. She sent Hagar away, but not away from God. Hagar felt scared, lonely, distraught and abandoned. But The Angel of the Lord found her and told her to return to her mistress and then told her about the baby she would have. Hagar called Him, “The Living One Who Sees me.” Gen. 16:14 Amplified Bible.

    Dear Friends, The Living One Who Sees is the same today. Aren’t we thankful!!! He is our God who has promised to meet our needs. Phil. 4:19. He sees the Revive Board and their needs. He sees every situation in our City and hears the cries of those who feel scared, lonely, distraught and abandoned and who need help. He is preparing our hearts to be the answer to these dear people who need us. We are on the edge of a divine opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many people in Oklahoma City. God’s timing is perfect. This is a time for us to pray and to prepare our hearts and hands to be ready to share our energy, time and resources with those God guides us to. Let us be prayerfully excited about a new and divine opportunity to respond to the Living One Who Sees. He is creating edges for each of us to cross to serve others and honor Him.

    On the edge with you,
    Carol Cutler

Have a GOOD Summer

“And no doubt you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Spirit and with power.
Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were
oppressed by the Devil, for God was with Him.”

Summer is here with it’s opportunities for GOOD TIMES; vacations, cooking out, having more time with our children and serving the needy.

Revive Ministries is looking forward to a good summer for us and our families. Pleasing God will make it extra good! God, the Holy Spirit exhorts us, “Don’t forget to do good and share what you have with those in need, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to God.” Hebrews 13:16

Seven wonderful ministries in the Oklahoma City area have on-going needs which can be met by a few good women! You are among them! Jesus said: “You will always have the poor among you, and you can help them whenever you want to.” He said this after a woman anointed Him with perfume. He said this was a good thing she had done and it would be remembered when the Gospel was preached. Jesus notices the good things that are done for others! Those things are planned for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 [NLT 1996] says: “We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.”

Are you wondering what good things you can do this summer? This website is full of ideas and opportunities! Please prayerfully read their comments. Ask the Lord what He has planned for you and be blessed by doing them. Jesus said “Let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” Matthew 5:16

May God anoint each of us with the Holy Spirit and with power so that we can go about doing good and helping those who are oppressed with poverty because God is with us.

HAVE A GOOD, GOOD SUMMER! May this be the one you will remember because you did something good in Jesus Name.
