Isaiah 49:2.   Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;

God has called you for this time. He has been sharpening and polishing you to hit the bullseye of his revival. Elijah the prophet thought he was the only true prophet left in Israel but God told him that he had reserved 7000 who had never bowed to a false God.

Greetings everyone. This is the first episode of arrows of revival. Episode 1 here with Bishop O. Reid. I'm also known as Bishop fire and this is Episode 1 of Arrows of Revival. hello. I'm just going to go by the name of Gail. I'm also have been called the Gate breaker which is a name that our general Bishop has given. But Gail would much rather Gail. So in this first session of Arrows of Revival we are going to be talking about the fact that you are an arrow of God's revival. That's right. You you're listening to me. If you're a born again believer who believe in Christ you're an arrow for world revival and I want you to put your attention to Isaiah Chapter 49 and Verse 2 in Isaiah 49 verse two this is what the Bible says. Listen to me and Hearken ye people from far the Lord called me from the womb from the bowels of my mother he made mention of my name and he made my mouth like a sharp sword in the shadow of his hand had he hid me and made me a polished Shaft in his quiver and he hid me. Isaiah 49 verse one and two and Isaiah 49 verse one the Prophet Isaiah said the Lord called him from the womb from the bowels of his mother. You have been called in this same way. If you are a child of God you are born of God then that means that from your mother's womb God called you for this time.

We are living in a time of revival and if you are alive right now as a child of God I want you to know that God has called you as an arrow of his revival verse two of Isaiah forty nine he says and he had made my mouth like a sharp sword. Isaiah was saying that God made his mouth like a sharp sword and in the same way God made his mouth like a sharp sword, God has been a sharpening your life to use you in his revival for this time. Then Isaiah goes on and said in the shadow of his hand he hidden me and made me a polished shaft. A polished shaft is an arrow and polished arrow in his quiver the quiver is what used to hold the arrows in his quiver and he hid me. So if you are alive today and you were a child of God who was living for God. God has been polishing your life as an arrow to aim you to the bullseye of his revival and just as Isaías said that he has hidden you. God have been sharpening you. God has been polishing you and he hasn't hidden you for this time the same way God has been reserving you preserving you for this time of revival. Do you remember the prophet Elijah. Elijah thought that he was the only true prophet in Israel during his time. In fact he said to God he said I'm the only one that is left and God said to him no it is not so.

God said I have reserved seven thousand who have never bowed to False idols. In the same way God has been preserving you hiding you because he has sharpened you polishing you for this time. You were an arrow for his revival. Don't you agree. Of course yes I agree we are arrows for what God is about to do and even in this time that we're living in that you know God I have been sharpening us and some of us have been you know asleep spiritually. You know they have lost our ways you know. You know like Bishop Reid said that you know God have been sharpening us so you know in this time as God is looking for those of us that he has been those of us that he have been using and those of us that you know that have even slacked some you know God is calling us to sharpen us so he can use us against the powers of the enemy that have kept so many bow so we are arrows God is depending on us for us to to shake the world in such a major way. And you know I believe that you know like you know like the Bible talks about you know the king with the arrow of victory. Yes. And you know you know he had to he had to strike. You know he had he said that you know the Bible said that the king had to strike and if he did not strike you know it all depend on how many times we strike. So when we do something you know that do something for the Lord. Yes when we do something for the Lord we have to continue to just keep striking and just keep going and just keep going.

And you know interestingly enough you know the prophet said to the king if you know if he has stricken more time than that you have you know surely you know you would have taken over you know your enemy but because you strike I don't just three times just because you strike three times he only gonna win three time. So you know it just so powerful to know that when we strike when we position ourself to strike and we have the mindset to strike how God and sharpen us and really really make us an arrow as long as we raise our faith and believe that God is in this thing. So we don't want to have an attitude like the king right. We want to be able to strike as many times as possible. And what God is doing is sharpening you and polishing you so that you're not like that. KING who the Prophet gave that arrow of victory and told the king strike with that arrow that King only struck three times and the prophet was upset The Prophet said if you had strike the arrow on the ground six or seven times you've won the entire war. And so God is not going to shoot you for you to stop midway. This revival is going to continue until Jesus returns. The revival in the end-times continued to Jesus returns. God is shopping you and polishing you so that when you shoot you hit the bullseye of his revival and never go back. Now there may be some of you listening who think you are not qualified for this revival you're not one of them who should be in this revival.

Well I want you you'll know that the only qualification for this revival is to be a true child of God a true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ truly been washed in his blood. And if you're born again and you're living for God then you're qualified for this revival. How I know that? Well the scripture says and Joel 2 Verse 28 he said afterwards I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. And now he says All means all you are a part of all but just in case you're still not sure. The scripture continues it says I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. So if your son or daughter God is calling you as an arrow for his revival. You know in the Bible days especially in the Old Testament times when even later Women oftentimes are not seen as those who will be in ministry. However I love how the scripture was so specific because oftentimes in the Old Testament the Bible and even in the New Testament it doesn't necessarily specify the genders. It will say sons are the say men to mean men and women or sons to be born son and daughters. But in this scripture God was very specific because God wanted you to know that you're included if you're a woman. He says sons and daughters male and female God is going to pour out his Spirit upon and they'll prophesy. Well maybe you think well maybe I'm too young or maybe I'm too old but the scripture continues. It says your sons and daughters shall prophesy the young men shall see visions and old men shall dream dreams. So this revival is age-less.

If you're young God going to show you visions and use you in this revival. If you are an elder if you're old if you're a senior. God is calling you as an arrow of his revival. He says young and old shall prophesy. Well maybe think Well maybe I'm too poor. Maybe the kind of job I have with a qualification I have the education I have is is not enough. Well it continues two 29 it say and on your servants and handmaids I will pour out my spirit and they shall prophesy. So its also classless this revival is classless it does not matter what class you're in it doesn't matter what your educational level is what your economic level is. God is calling you as an arrow for his revival. The servants in those Bible times servants are mostly slaves servants and handmaids handmaids are just female slaves or female servants. So again God is stressing that is genderless whatever gender you are male or female God has called you as an arrow of his revival whatever your age God has called you as an arrow for his revival My God whatever your economic status God has called you for his revival and that's one of the things that I love about God is that God you know no one can put God in a box. You know we can. It doesn't matter what you are or who you are or where your background come from. Or what does man say about you or anything. Once you you know submit to the will of God is just amazing to see the things that God does when we submit to him and in how he just take us even if we are a wounded arrow.

You know some arrows are wounded right and some some arrows you know you have things in your life you know that doesn't seem like it's right. But I love the fact that like Bishop Reid says that you know that the arrows know that God is looking for it doesn't matter whether you are black or white. Or more male or female boy or even girl exactly you know even in our own church you have children. They rise up and preach the gospel so I just find that it is so amazing. You know when you come to God that you can be used as an arrow praise God. Yes. So I just want to repeat some things to leave you with today. We are an arrow for his revival. If you're a woman know woman you're an arrow for God's revival. If you're a child like my wife just said you're an Arrow for God's revival my for God to the Jeremiah dream I won verse 5 before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified thee. And I ordained thee a prophet unto the nation hear what Jeremiah said Ah Lord God Behold I am a prophet. I cannot. I'm a child I cannot speak He said I am a child. I cannot speak but the Lord said unto him say not you're child for thou shall go to all that I send you whatever I command you shall speak so you are a child you're called as an arrow for God's revival. Maybe you are a new believer. Maybe you just got to know the Lord last week you just received Jesus Christ personal lord and savior.

Just a few days ago you just joined the church. You are also an arrow for his revival. God is calling new believers also. Maybe you're an elder your older woman or older man you are not excluded. He said he will pour out his spirit upon all flesh and old men shall dream dreams. So you are included also remember this generation of these times these last days when Jesus Christ is coming soon this generation is a generation of revival. First Peter two verse nine But your chosen generation a royal priesthood. This is the generation of the last days. Peter said when on the day of Pentecost Peter said this is what the prophet Joel spoke of that in the last days he will pour out of his spirit in the last days. These are the last days if Peter's time were the last days we're really in the last days. Now he will pour out his spirit upon all flesh and sons and daughters shall prophesy. And he said this promise is unto to you and your children and as many as a far off that you you are an arrow for God's revival. Are you allowing God to sharpen you to polish you to aim you to reach the bullseye of his revival. Glory to God. We thank you for tuning in today. Again this is Bishop Reid reminding you that you are an arrow for God's revival And this is Gail. And we thank you today for tuning in and you know keep on tuning in because as you tune in we gonna be discussing all the different ways that God wants to use us as an arrow to God be the glory.
