This is the product of my fertile thoughts. I am recreating them here and am sharing them with you, dear bloggers, for whatever benefits, if any, you could derive from them. I wish you could be more open and share with me your comments and suggestions so that I can improve on my blog. Thank you, God bless and have a nice day. Mel Avila Alarilla
SOUL WINNING Soul winning is the desire in the heart of all Christians to save his fellow brother from the danger of eternal death and separation from the presence of the Lord. The born again Christian, who has experienced the joy and thrill of attaining eternal life through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior, has this overwhelming and unquenchable desire in his heart to tell the good news of their salvation. It is not a question of converting a non believer to his church or religion for neither of them can save an individual from eternal death. Only the acceptance of Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior assures any person of eternal life with the Lord. The burden of soul winning is placed by the Holy Spirit in the hearts of all earnest Christians. It is as though a fire will burn them up if they will not witness for the Lord. The Lord wants that none should perish but wants all to attain eternal life through the saving grace of the Gospel of the Lord. The Gospel is the never ending story of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and His eventual return to earth to judge the living and the dead. CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD AND BE SAVED.

SPIRITUAL REVIVAL The antidote to backsliding and spiritual coldness is spiritual revival. Spiritual revival is accomplished through intense and earnest prayers and supplication to the Holy Spirit who is the author of all spiritual revivals. It is the revival of one's fervor and passion of love and devotion to the Lord characterized by a second outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The flickering love and commitment to God and His kingdom are relighted to a burning and smoldering fire that will sustain the child of God through his moments of trials and temptations. Prayer and daily reading of the word of God are regularly maintained as the renewed Christian is strengthened by the love and grace of God. Regular fellowships with other Christians are also revived with renewed fervor and enthusiasm. Witnessing for the Lord becomes so easy as narrating the events of the previous day. All Christians need spiritual revival from time to time to keep the flames of love and devotion to the Lord be ever burning in their hearts. Woe to the Christian who will not seek spiritual revival in times of spiritual coldness and backsliding. Theirs is the real danger of losing their heritage of eternal life with the Lord and going back to their former world of sinfulness and eventually, eternal death.
