Our morning revival time is for us to spend personal time with the Lord.
———————————————–
A Time with the Lord is where we will post tips and hints on how to spend time with the Lord in the morning.
Spend some time this morning to open up to the Lord in prayer regarding what He touched you with during the previous six days. Review your notes and the outline points and verses. Ask the Lord what He would have you share with all the saints. Prepare a prophecy (1-2 minutes long) to share with the saints what you enjoyed this week.
Here is the whole outline for the week, for your reference. Or, you can download a PDF of this week’s outline here.

2020 Spring Pursuit – The Precious Word – Songs (Printable version)
Brothers,
While we are endeavoring to pursue the Lord together, we realize the need to take care of our tripartite being (spirit, soul and body) for the sake of the Lord’s purpose and also for our own well-being.
1 Timothy 4:8a For bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but godliness is profitable for all things….
Many of us are mostly confined to our homes and may not have much opportunity to continue the physical exercise we are used to. That can affect our physical condition as well as impact our mental health.
So we would like to invite any brother who is available and interested to join us for some workout sessions. We will have a doctor available on the calls to answer any of your questions about exercise.
The Zoom meeting information was sent to all of you by email. If you’re joining, please come on time or you will miss the introduction. So set a calendar reminder or an alarm on your phone and log in about 5 minutes early.
See you then!
