Jasper Church Holds Revival
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee license plates were in the church parking lot. The pews were filled and some of the people were even in the fellowship hall as overflow. “The Forerunner” came with a message of revival and the people were hungry to hear!
Evangelist Christopher Hudson, known as “The Forerunner,” with the ministry Forerunner Chronicles, recently spoke at the Jasper, Tenn., Church. Many visitors joined the local group of believers from the early Sabbath School time through the afternoon hours to hear the powerful reminder of staying focused on Jesus and not on the unfolding events in the world.
Even though Leonard Bland, men’s ministries leader, had scheduled the revival event almost a year earlier, Hudson said he did not know what he would speak on until the day of the event. The end result was exactly what the people needed to hear. Attendees were reminded of five important messages:
1. Daily spend a thoughtful hour reflecting on the life of Jesus.
2. Do not be distracted with current events, politics, or even church happenings.
3. Strive for more intimacy with Jesus.
4. Witness to others about Jesus.
5. Keep your eyes on the Lord and be constantly surrendered to Him.
In addition to the messages by Hudson, Doris Combs had arranged for an international themed fellowship lunch, and Asonta Bland encouraged members to dress in diverse cultural attire to represent the goal of reaching the world with the Gospel.
It truly was a day of refocus and revival. Beverly Hawkins said, “When I watch the news or look around at things happening, fear can grip you.” She said she is going away with a new perspective about looking instead to the One whose “perfect love casts out fear.”
The revival call has been made — get to know Jesus, lift Him up to others, and He will draw them to Himself.
