Bread of Life Ministries

Ashtabula, OH

God is stirring up the body of Christ! He wants us to be clothed with Him in order to fulfill the destiny that He has for each and every one of us each day. Revivalist Wes Geiger encouraged us to be clothed in Jesus. Without a relationship with Jesus, all we have is empty religion. Religion is all the do’s and don’t, not the love and authenticity of the gospel. We receive the true bread in revival. We want fresh bread, not the stale left overs. When we press into God, He will clothe us with power from on High. Whose clothes do you have on? Who dressed you? Are you clothed with Christ? When we are clothed with Christ, we have the power to see the invisible, to see the things that are promised that have yet to come to pass. We have the power to speak the impossible. We are clothed with the power to do miracles. When Peter and John were clothed with power at Pentecost they could not walk by the man at the Gate Beautiful. They spoke, Silver and Gold have I none, but what I have I give to you. They spoke life and healing over the man and he was healed. We are clothed with love. We cannot love the Lord without Him giving us the ability to do so. We are clothed to love the unlovely. We have the power to forgive. We are to be imitators of Christ, not of the world. We are clothed with the power to witness, power to give, power to stand against persecution. We are clothed with His glory, His majesty, and with salvation! We must get more of Him and allow the Him to have more of us.

Are you too full to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Is something blocking your well to receive from the Holy Spirit? Revivalist Wes Geiger demonstrated using a water bottle that if we are too full of ourselves, we cannot be filled with the Holy Spirit and with the things of God. He showed how if the bottle is too full, you can’t put any more water in it. He then showed a hose and that if you have kinks in your hose, you can’t receive either. He showed how things like unforgiveness and taking offense can kink your hose. He shared that no matter how many meetings you are in or how many prayers you say, if you don’t surrender yourself and get the kinks out, you cannot be filled with the Lord. He challenged us to ask the Lord what it was that was blocking us up. Revivalist Donna Geiger shared how the Lord dealt with her when she had taken offense against another lady in her church. She hadn’t even realized the problem that she had with the lady. But God, revealed it to her so that she could repent and then receive from God. After the Word, the Holy Spirit came in like a mighty rushing wind! Many were laughing uncontrollably with joy, one of the young children shouted out Messiah for a very long time. Others cried and wept at the foot of Jesus as much bondage was broken.

Desperate Faith!!! Desperate Hunger!! Desperate Seed!! Are you desperate for the things of God? Are you desperate for a break through? Are you desperate to see the things that God has promised? We have to have desperate faith! The kind of faith that Blind Bartimaes had when he could not see Jesus, but was determined to be heard and healed. We need the kind of faith that the woman with the issue of blood had when she pressed in saying that when she touched the hem of his garment she would be healed. Will we have desperate faith to receive the thing that we have been believing for? Revivalist Wes Geiger encouraged us to write down the vision, write down what we are believing for. He said it was a night for blessing and a night for desperate faith! He prayed for all in the place believing for that breakthrough of blessing!! It was an awesome pour out of the Holy Spirit!
