"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." -Hebrews 13:8
The Presidential Election of the United States of America is just around the corner, and two candidates have been placed before the people. For the Democrats, President Barack Obama, and for the Republicans, Mitt Romney. Both parties and candidates are trying to plead with the public for their vote of confidence for this upcoming election, making promises left and right and taking stands on issues to draw in support from one group or another. Some people would speak in support of one candidate over the other even going as far as finding evidence to smeer the other candidate so their candidate can win. This blog/devotion isnt meant to support one candidate or another but to reacknowledge a truth found in God's word. The thing is guys, Presidents come and go, and change polices and stand points like the wind, but The King is Still the same!
"It is better to truth in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD to put confidence in princes." -Psalm 118:8-9
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance. The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He Fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he delilever any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, accodring as we hope in thee." -Psalm 12-22
"And I, brethren, which I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:that your fiath should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."
-1st Corinthians 2:1-5
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness: but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." -2cd Peter 3:9
No matter who wins this election, whether it be the conservative or the liberal, the democrat or the republican, Im telling you our faith should be in Almighty God, who never changes, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Whose Word is true and whose promises are certain and sure. Presidents change but our God stays the same and we should have faith and trust in him not the men who is running or in office.
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, and of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." -Philippians 2:9-11
"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever." -Revelation 5:13

"Oh Send a Revival..."
"Oh Send a Revival, Oh Send a Revival, Oh Send A Revival, and Let it begin with me!"
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - 2cd Chronicles 7:14
Theres been books on the subject. Theres been testimonies about the subject. Thousands upon thousands of preachers preached on it praying that God will pour out his Holy Spirit onto the people. From what Ive recently learned, you can study about it, you can hear peoples testimonies about it, but unless youve witness with your own eyes, and felt the change within your heart, and seen it manifest into your own lives, you dont know what Revival is! God has been moving amongst the Freewill Baptist in Southeast Michigan since September 14th, 2012. It started with Tecumseh, then it moved from there to Ypsilanti and spread to some of the sister churches around us! Without sounding wierd or out there, its like the events written down in The Book of Acts. Tonight it will be officially 36 days since this all started.
"And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart." - Acts 2:46
Your probably wondering "what does this testimony have to do with the verse you posted in the beginning of this blog/devotion?" It has everything to do with it! It has everything to do with it simply because God is drawing his people, which are called by his name, to him. As his people, as Christians, begin to humble themselves from their pride, admit their wrongs, faults, and failures, pray genuinly, turn from wickedness and turn to God searching him out honestly and wholeheartedly, God will begin to move!
"Draw night to God, and he will draw night to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." - James 4:8
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peave, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:11-13
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." - Hebrews 11:6
If your a believer I pray this news and devotion does encourage you in the walk of faith founded in the Lord Jesus Christ but pray that God continues to bring the rain and bless us during this Revival. We are letting the Lord lead, we dont know who is preaching, we arent planning ahead of God's will since we want God in control he chooses the preacher and each night he has. And we pray that this doesnt stay in Southeast Michigan but spreads out. And we pray that it just dont affect the Freewill Baptist but everyone who is born again. When God sees a man, when God sees his church, he dont see denomination or allegiance, he sees saint or sinner, faithful or backslidden, on fire, coldas ice, or lukewarm, spirit-filled or apostate, if God is gonna revive the church its not just gonna be the Freewill Baptist but the whole Body of Christ. Please pray and thank you.

Introduction/The Great Commission
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
- Mark 16:15
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. God ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."
- Matthew 28:18-20
The main goal of A Cry in the Wild Ministries is to fulfill the Great Commission given unto the Church by the Lord Jesus Christ. To go into the world, heck to even go onto the internet, and proclaim Christ as Lord and Saviour and to proclaim that Jesus Christ the only way to heaven.
"Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."
- John 14:5-7
We hope that we bless you through this. If you have any questions you may contact us at acryinthewildministries@gmail.com or on here. To God be the Glory!
Yours truly,
