Music Ministry Revival part77

Music Ministry Teamwork and the Movement of God 

Music Ministry Revival is at hand! I am even more convinced today than I was when I began writing. I declare for the 77th time "Music Ministry Revival is at hand". It will manifest at God's appointed time. My words and His majesty andglory will fill the earth. The glory will be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. The coordinates of my faith will render a rendezvous with the purposes and movement of God. I will render in secret the "Music Ministry Revival prayer" that God will be declared publicly "Lord send Revival". Today we we explore on of histories Revival  Teams. There are many silent partners of Revivalist throughout history. Daniel Nash and Charles Finney formed a formidable revival team. They were able to demonstrate Teamwork.

Behind every great move of God their is a prayer warrior interceding for His Word, Will, and His Way. Behind every great revivalist their are prayer intercessors and warriors. Revival hastens when their is teamwork by prevailing prayer , prevailing Word , and repentance.

  • prevailing prayer Daniel Nash  

  • prevailing Word proclaimed by Charles Finney

  • Repentance (Joel 2 (Amplified Bible) 12Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored]. 17Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar; and let them say, Have pity and spare Your people.) and weeping between the porch and the altar.

Daniel Nash and Charles Finney formed of the greatest Revival Teams. The enemies of revival counted Nash a full partner to Finney in the work. They feared and hated his praying at least as much as they did Finney's preaching. Charles Grandison Finney and his partner-in-prayer, Father Nash, have just been burned in effigy. Preachers and pew-warmers alike joined forces against the two men who did more to spearhead revival than any other pair in American history." "Swinging above your heads are two distorted figures suspended on ropes. At the touch of the torch they leap into flames andthe crowd screams in sheer delight. Sound like a scene from a lynching . . . a race riot? Not at all. It is a religious gathering. The charred creatures smoldering in the air represent the public's expression of opposition to the preaching and praying of America's greatest evangelistic team. No books tell his life story, no pictures or diaries can be found, his descendants (if any) cannot be located, and his messages are forgotten. He wrote no books, started no schools, led no movements, and generally, kept out of sight.
Yet this man saw revival twice in his pastorate, and then was a key figure in one of the greatest revivals in the history of the United States. In many ways he was to the U. S. what Praying Hyde was to India. He is known almost exclusively for his powerful prayer ministry. This evangelistic team operated on the basis of prayer being essential for the preparation of an area for evangelism. This idea was so strong that Finney often sent Nash to an area to prepare the place and people for his coming. Often it wouldtake 3 or 4 weeks of prayer to get the area ready. Let us examine a little more closely just how such a thing was accomplished. When God would direct where a meeting was to be held, Father Nash would slip quietly into town and seek to get two or three people to enter into a covenant of prayer with him. Sometimes he had with him a man of similar prayer ministry, Abel Clary. Together they would begin to pray fervently for God to move in the community. "On one occasion when I got to town to start a revival a lady contacted me who ran a boarding house. She said, 'Brother Finney, do you know a Father Nash? He and two other men have been at my boarding house for the last three days, but they haven't eaten a bite of food. I opened the door and peeped in at them because I could hear them groaning, and I saw them down on their faces. They have been this way for three days, lying prostrate on the floor and groaning. I thought something awful must have happened to them. I was afraid to go in and I didn't know what to do. Would you please come see about them?'  "I met an old lady who told me a story about Charles Finney that has challenged me over the years. Finney went to Bolton to minister, but before he began, two men knocked on the door of her humble cottage, wanting lodging. The poor woman looked amazed, for she hadno extra accommodations. Finally, for about twenty-five cents a week, the two men, none other than Fathers Nash and Clary, rented a dark and damp cellar for the period of the Finney meetings (at least two weeks), and there in that self-chosen cell, those prayer partners battled the forces of darkness."

Teamwork and the Movement of God

  • The music Ministry assignment The Music Cosmos

  • World Hunger

  • A common agenda for Music Ministry Convention-leaders

  • Lower the increasing divorce rate among Music Ministry couples in their 40s, 50s, 60s and even the 70s

  • Music Ministry and AIDS and drug dependency

  • Control, Distribute , Produce CD for the general Music Ministry

  • Sexism, classism, racism in the Music Ministry

  • Affordable Senior Housing for the Music Ministry

  • Music Ministry pension funds

  • Retooling the the Music Ministry from Industrial Pipe Organ, organic Piano to electronic instruments

  • Institute Remedial music education program for the Music Ministry

  • Updating resume service for the Music Ministry who is out of work

  • Redeem rap music into Christ-centric rap Music
