Revival 2009 - Day 4

Day 4 of the revival was fantastic! We kicked things off with the choir singing, "City of Gold." We had 15 folks in the choir tonight and everyone really sang out. I had been praying for the Holy Spirit and I got exactly what I prayed for! It was all I could do to keep from ripping into a preaching fit after the first song but I somehow managed.

The first congregational was, "Since Jesus Came Into My Heart." I have always loved leading that song. After that the choir sang, "Saved By the Blood of the Crucified One." Then another congregational with, "I Rejoice In the Lord." For fellowship we sang, "There Is A Name I Love To Hear," and then we had altar prayer.

For special music the pastor asked my mother to sing. She sang the Greater Vision hit song, "Uncommon Garments," and did a great job. I felt bad for her because there was some issues getting her accompaniment CD to play and she had to stand there in a brief moment of awkwardness, but she came through it good. Next up was the pastor's brother, Rex, and his wife. They sang two songs with Rex playing the piano. After that, Rex stood and gave his testimony about all of the problems and addictions the Lord had brought him out of. Then Mrs. Langston sang a song with Carol playing the piano.

Finally it was time for Preacher Langston to step into the pulpit. He started out by pulling some hardy "Amen's" from the crowd and then went into reading Scripture. His message tonight was titled, "Why Should We Get Saved?" You can listen to it HERE. He brought out many wonderful reasons why a person should get saved. He ended his sermon by singing a verse of "How Beautiful Heaven Must Be" and asked the congregation to join in. We then gave an altar call and one person came down to pray.

It was a great service and I'm sad that it will be ending tomorrow night. We are expecting a pretty good sized crowd tomorrow. We will be having food and fellowship tomorrow night after the service and everyone is invited.
