Intention

That we might understand that revival brings life to the lost

Scripture

“… I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’
— Acts 26:17-18

Reflection

We bring glory to the Lamb of God by joining heaven’s eternal worship while we are on earth. But while on earth, we have a limited time to bring the Lamb His due reward — souls whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

We have a LIFE Map that you can use to simply share the good news and easily lead friends and strangers in their decision to give their broken life to Jesus. The LIFE Map drawing shows that we haven’t missed out on the simply beautiful life God has prepared for us.

Trust the Holy Spirit, who is at work in you and your friend or new acquaintance, to lead your relationship and conversation to the moment when He will prompt you to look them in the eye and ask, “Can I show you the way to a simply beautiful version of your life?”

The steps in the drawing will help you remember the words and the Holy Spirit will personalise and empower your words as you draw the LIFE Map on their arm or a serviette — in permanent marker to make an unforgettable impression.

Say to them — and right now to your own self, “Can I show you the way to a simply beautiful version of your life? It’s still available to you.”

We all see the life we hoped for slip away when tough stuff happens to us. We’ve all done things that made our life worse instead of better. No one can undo these things or find their own way back to that lost life on their own.

The good news is that God reached out to you, sending His Son, Jesus, to live a simply beautiful human life and die in your place, wiping out all your stuff ups. Right now, you can ask Jesus to forgive you and bring you back to your simply beautiful life.

When you do this, you will know God as your loving Father and be empowered with the loving-kindness, forgiveness, hope, trust and righteous integrity He continuously gives you, so your life is simply beautiful and never-ending.

Where are you now on this LIFE map?

Where do you want to be?

Will you give Jesus your broken life and ask Him to forgive you and give you a new life?

I bless you to be filled with God’s love and Spirit power so you can live the whole and eternal life He has planned for you.”

Prayer

Our Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Jesus, inhabit us so we are light in the darkness — hope and contagious love to our neighbours, the ones You died to save.

Holy Spirit, convict and lead us to speak words of life by faith so many will know the glory of God and join heaven in eternal worship.

We pray as One in Jesus’ name, Amen.
