Steven Lawson: Cut to the Heart: Awakening in Scripture

Throughout the history of God’s people, the Holy Spirit has moved at specific times in order to bring awakening to His covenant community. This session explores the reality of awakening in biblical history, considering various examples of awakening that occurred during the times of the Apostles and prophets. Some examples include the awakenings under Hezekiah, Josiah, and Nehemiah, and the session also considers the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2) as an example of awakening.

@kristen8329 Praise Jesus, who is the Everlasting Father, Mighty God, as Isaiah said in ch 9:6 For saving you, Jesus saved me in October 1991 by speaking to me the first time, changing me immediately, the things I despised before hearing Jesus speak I now love and the things I loved before hearing Jesus speak I now despise, and Jesus has been with me ever since. Jesus is the Author and finisher of your faith. Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST! Dr Steven Lawson is a Godly man who preaches and teaches the WORD OF GOD in Spirit and in Truth! Few pastors are alive who preach and teach the WORD OF GOD like him. I pray that GOD will equip a Young Generation of Godly men like Pastor Lawson who preach and teach GOD'S WORD in Spirit and in Truth like he does.

GOD BLESS YOUR Ligioniers ministry!! May GOD rise more godly men like Dr. Lawson who will be used as GODS vessels of HONOUR to draw more lost souls to our LORD JESUS CHRIST to receive saving Faith in our LORD JESUS CHRIST. 🌿🌿🌿

I absolutely love Steve and his passion is admirable for myself as a young minister and aspiring pastor

[@paulgross1931]

If you love Steve Lawson then it is because you're on that broad path that leadeth unto destruction the reason why I am commenting on your comment is because you are blind and you are believing what this man is he telling you this man does not desire you to hear anything that I'm about to tell you because this man wants to keep you on the Broadway this man does not want you to know one simple thing about the gospel and that is the finished work of Jesus Christ it is the power unto salvation that is what these men don't want you to know they don't want you to put Faith in the gospel because therefore you would actually be saved that's a simple that's why they don't like the gospel because it's for everyone whosoever believeth on the Lord shall be saved who believeth in me has everlasting life that's the gospel and that's where the power is these men want to twist scripture and add discipleship unto salvation you mixed it too and all you have is corruption please if you want a good KZbin channel to watch watch KZbin channel jacksmack77

[@paulgross1931]

You'll notice how they draw the crowd they draw the crowd to hypnotize them with a joke or a story to draw them in trust me these men know where they're going and they're happy because they know you're going with them that they have one you to be on that broadpath that leadeth unto destruction some of them do not know where they're going and they are deceived and they deceive others this is why I'm giving you an opportunity to know the true gospel you can watch KZbin channel Ralph Yankee Arnold and he'll give you the true gospel you are watching or listening to Steve J Lawson who is a devil he is a minister of righteousness and that's what these men are they work for the devil they appear to you like sheep but inwardly they are ravenous wolves

[@paulgross1931]

And I'm glad you brought up this man's passion that's another way they convince you to trust them they bring you passion to what they believe and you like a fish eat the bait Hook Line & Sinker trust me when I tell you I don't want to see you follow after this evil man look into these things I've tried to find things on him and I couldn't find it that's why I will start this and I will finish it this man is pure evil if anyone adds anyting unto the gospel they shall be cursed the gospel is the death of the Barrel in the resurrection and that is how you are saved only by what Christ you did for you it's by believing you are saved don't let this liar lie to you again

to other Pastors I've had to hear Sunday morns: Fewer stories of fishing trips, trucks driven, camaraderie events with friends AND before you bring out the Word...deeply Study it first, so the Lord can give you His Words in a "masterful presentation" to the congregation. Preach the Word as if the Lord will be calling us up in the next few minutes. Pastors please preach longer than 15-20 minutes....don't stop preaching because of ur timeline to finish...don't stop preaching because the second part is promised for the evening service......preach until the Lord stops you, not because it is lunch time, or the nursery is waiting for children to be picked up, etc. Thank you Pastor Lawson for your attention to this topic....I can remember when we did not leave morning church until 1, 2 or later in the afternoon, and that was being in church at 9 am and coming back at 7 pm.

[@robertdesantis6205]

I've gotten up and walked out of more than one church because of the sorry preaching, eg: Da Vinci code, Mash TV show, latest Disney movies. These weren't liberal churches, either.

[@BAM-jc7uy]

​@@robertdesantis6205 Hi, I know what you mean..If you stay, join, become active and later nicely question what was meant by something said...you probably are known as a "trouble maker." If the Lord can be here any second from now, how can the pulpit be used to squander the time on who knows what to get a laugh, a clap of hands, or to quote athesists outside of Scrip to "prove" the validity of Scrip?? How can the pulpit be used as a performance stage for disguised Halloween, holiday events when it is the place of kneeling down for repentence?? I thought I had found a church that preached the Gospel and in a Bible study, I was "cautioned" that women could not say "Amen" aloud in agreement, only men...and no I did not yell out, shout out the amen... Years earlier at another church, I had one pastor and his son, assoc pastor tell me they believed Adam & Eve went to hell, they told me they did not preach that from the pulpit because they did not want to lose church members. I attended that church for years and was active in ministry and our families were close, good friends, we loved them...I never stepped back into that church again. A few years ago, I visited my son near Tampa Fl...I attended the Bpt church he was attending, the preacher was the grandson of that famous missionary preacher to China at the turn of the Century...I went to my son's age group Bible study and the purity of the Word was preached that brought tears to my eyes.. and I understood/experienced the meaning of having the purity of Water of the Word washing/coming down over you. I was there visiting for about 3 months.... I thank the Lord for showing me that such churches are still out there...faithful to His Word. Nice to meet you and apologize for going on, and on. Be well in the Lord and through His Word. Look up for our redemption draweth nigh. B.👵

[@lauriemilam8805]

What a compelling message from the Scriptures-the plain, un-varnished Truth of the Gospel. Very rarely heard today from the majority of the pulpits.

[@JohnLoughlinPreachOrDie]

When God first awakened me and brought true conviction of sin, I am ashamed to say, I initially fought it. I have often wondered why the Spirit gave me such heavy, heart-wrenching conviction that totally disrupted and devastated life as I knew it at 19 years of age. It was because of my deep, entrenched religious pride. I needed ruining. My pride required my life to be totally destroyed until I surrendered to my Lord. That was almost 40 years ago, and now I preach God's word and serve his Church. Thank you, sovereign God, for lovingly ruining my life with your grace.

[@mommar394]

You say awesome preaching I say the worst preaching ever this man is a heretic this man is deceiving you you need to look into these things this man preaches another gospel this is the true gospel the death the burial and the resurrection once you know where the power is that's how you get saved by trusting in what Christ has done for you these men add discipleship into salvation and that is not true you should never follow after Steve J Lawson he's a demon in Disguise I give you this message so that you know who he is and how many are LED astray by his passion and his desire to fool you they do a really good job if you want to know the true gospel watch KZbin channel jacksmack77 and learn about Grace and about the cross of Jesus Christ then and only then can you fully understand the Liberty you have in Christ Jesus thank you and have a blessed day
