REVIVAL! This is what the Spirit of God longs for. He is NOT holding back the spirit of revival. If there is any hindrance, it has to be on the part of the church. Oh, how our loving Father desires to see our congregations baptized with his holy fire of love and power. We pray that is your heart’s desire also. God has spelled out His covenant plan for revival in 2 Chronicles 7:14.
IF MY PEOPLE
2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
IF MY PEOPLE
Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
Psalm 81:8-9 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; there shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME
Isaiah 43:6-7 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
Daniel 9:18-19 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES
Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

AND PRAY

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
1Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
AND SEEK MY FACE
1Chronicles 16:11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
Psalm 27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS

Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN
Psalm 20:6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
Micah 7:7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN
Psalm 86:5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND
Malachi 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Jeremiah 3:22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
These scriptures are so clear. God loves you. He is willing to get involved in your lives. That is what His grace is all about. Believe me, He knows and understands every situation you are facing. That is what our ministry is all about. On our letterhead are the words "teaching God’s people how to live in this world." This is MORE than just a slogan. God has given us a clear mandate. Our preaching is two-fold, proclaiming the good news of salvation and teaching Christians the wonderful blessings God has for them.
With that in mind I will remind you of what this ministry is doing. Our first MISSION is to PREACH THE WORD. We have been preaching regularly on the Tohono O’odham reservation. We have started Bible school classes using the videos and curriculum from Victory Bible Institute in Tulsa, Oklahoma. These classes are being conducted on the Gila River Indian Community. Our ministry team in Oklahoma (Brenda Cox and Josh and Melanie Marihugh) continues to minister every month at Cushing, Taft and Holdenville. We continue to give out our sermon CD’s as requested. Those on our mailing list receive these CDs on a regular basis at no charge. Because we consider you our partners, we ask that you join us in faith and prayers for the needs of our ministry.
1. (Col 4:2-4) "Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak." WE NEED THIS VERY MUCH. WE HAVE MESSAGES BURNING IN OUR HEARTS. WE DESIRE GOD’S WORD TO GO FORTH IN ABUNDANCE!!!
2. In addition we have personal and ministry financial projects. We left our property in Oklahoma three years ago to minister on the Indian reservations. During this time our house has suffered extensive weather damage and is not habitable. We have decided our home should be "moveable" in order to go to any reservation the Lord directs. There is a used motor home that will be more economically practical than rebuilding a house on our property. Please agree in prayer WITH us that we will be able to obtain this motor home quickly.
Here is a picture of our future "home" so you can be in agreement with us. Thank you and God bless you richly.
Love in Christ,
Lloyd and Deborah Marihugh
