Deeper Life Ministries

Introduction to David Thom Ministries

               Preparation for Revival

Opening

During the last 10 years I have probably traveled in excess of 1million miles in ministering the Gospel. One of the most refreshing revelations during this time is to see the growth and desire of immigrant believers hungry to see a move of God not only in their adopted homelands but also in their place of birth.

In Massachusetts there is a strong body of Russian and Brazilian young men and woman who are on fire for God and ready to take the ministry back to the places of their birth. In eastern Kentucky God is using believers to go into Kosovo and down in Alabama pastors are leaving their homes to go to minister and teach in Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya and Haiti.

My minister friends in Australia are campaigning in Indonesia, India, Philippines and the Pacific Islands of Samoa and Fiji.

I believe that God is rising up an army of believers who are not afraid to go into the entire world and share the great commission with the lost.

There are wonderful opportunities to be used of God, and if you cannot physically go, support these teams, their success is your success in winning the lost.

Message:

Being used of God

2 Chronicles 16 vs 9
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him”

Over the years in ministry I have found that most believers have one thing in common. Almost all those that I have come into contact with have a strong desire to be used of God. Little do they realize that is the very reason why God saves us, so that we can be used for His glory?

Hebrews 2 vs. 6 “ What is man that, you are mindful of him”

Some of us ask the questions:

How can God use me?
What special talents do I have?

God is not concerned with your talents or your physical attributes. If that were the criteria then most of us would not be able to be used.
God only sees one thing, and that is your heart.
It is our heart that determines whether God can use us, if you are obedient and righteous and in line with God’s will, then that is all you will need.

Often believers are concerned about their past and that will stop them from reaching their fullest potential in Christ Jesus.
The Bible states:

2 Corinthians 5 vs. 17
“Therefore if anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away”

Once we are filled with the Holy Spirit we are able to operate outside the natural and move into a supernatural realm where we take on a new persona.
We are then able to tap into:

The ability of God
The authority of God
The power of God

Now you have given up the old man and become the creation that God wants you to be. Your new life begins, but don’t get carried away. It doesn’t happen overnight.
It takes time as God shapes your character and moulds you into the person that He wants you to be.
We come to a place of surrender, where we lay down the things of the past that have caused us to miss out on taking on the character of God.

The First ten years

October sees us celebrating 10 years of walking by faith in full time ministry.

It seems like only yesterday that we embarked on a journey that would see us traveling close to 1 million miles in proclaiming the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ.

It has not always been easy to fly off to far off countries, spending countless hours on airplanes. Waiting in terminals, chasing lost baggage, driving countless hours to get to meetings and often the loneliness of the last distance preacher, away from home and family, sleeping in strange beds.

 Yet to see the blessing that God brings through the ministry and the countless lives that are changed makes these little inconveniences small in comparison to the outpouring of God’s love that we have seen.

 Our desire for the next 10 years is to see a major increase in the move of God across this earth as nations succumb to the truth of the Gospel .

 God said, in the last days that the earth would shake with His Glory, I believe we are ready for a major shaking as the churches open up in readiness for His glorious appearance.

 

 

Preparing for the coming Revival

I believe that when God begins to pour out His Spirit on all flesh that we would then begin to see and experience the very promise of revival as the unsaved come to a place of repentance and begin to understand what God's grace is all about.

 There is a cry for revival calling out from every church that I go and minister in.

The hunger is becoming intense.Up until now churches have been experiencing is a superficial type of “feel good” worship, that they quickly called  “a revival”.

 The lukewarm attitude and lack of intensity in our worship is going a long way toward holding back the Glory. We need change and we need it now!

There is nothing like the spirit of control and rebellion to stop the flow of revival.

 Yes, there are hungry people within the body of Christ who are crying out for a change to take place in their churches. They want to see move of God that is separated from the normal church meeting that is taking place today.

 These hungry people are not content with just partaking of the scraps of mediocrity that is being currently served up. Their desire is to see the glory of God fall upon their congregation in such a powerful manner that the fallout will spread across entire regions and that lives would be turned around, resulting in an insatiable hunger for souls.

When we have a real revival, we will see alters become a place of sacrifice, as sinners run down church isles and fling themselves on the alter as they cry out for God’s mercy.

It is going to take some serious preparation to be able to handle the Glory that God wants to entrust us with.

We need to get trained up and ready and be prepared for a battle, because we are going to have a tremendous struggle to overcome church tradition and conformity.

 Holiness and repentance will once again become the focus of hungry as we seek out the presence of God in our services.

 Get ready!  2 Chronicles 7:14

 If we would humble ourselves by repenting and lay ourselves down at the alter of redemption, then God will not only heal our land, but he will pour out his Holy Spirit upon us, and in us, and through us, and He will open up the spiritual dams and allow the rivers to flow over us and through us in such a way the our very spiritual walk will not be able to contain our desire for His presence.

What a powerful message for every believer!

Updates for June 2009

No turning back

Romans 8:11

“But if the Spirit of Him who raised Christ from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you”.

The Message:

Who am I that thou art mindful of me?
The timing of God has crossed the calendar of man and nothing that the enemy can do can hold up the move of God on our lives.
Whatever the devil has meant for evil, God in all His power is in complete control and will turn it around for good in your life.


•    The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is in you and me.
•    That same Spirit that empowered Him to heal the sick and raise the dead is in you and me.
•    That same Spirit that conquered death and the grave is resident in you and I.

      Because we are alive in Christ! We have the ability to rise above our situation.
We are more than conquerors, through Him that loved us.
You are the head and not the tail.
You are over comers and nothing can stand in your way.
You and I have the ability to do all things through Christ who gives us strength
Phil 4:13

Releasing the conqueror in us!

When the Paul wrote that we are “more than conquerors” then we are just that.
We have the ability to deal with any situation, any anxieties, and any sickness that comes our way. We do not have to stand back and be held to ransom.

     The timing is now! There is no time to stand back and await the enemy’s attack.
We have to be proactive and move into battle under the guidance of the Holy Spirit
if we want to overcome and claim the victory.

If the Spirit of God who raised Christ from the dead is in you, and you are moving in righteousness, and allowing the Holy Spirit complete control over your life and your situation, then nothing can overcome you.

      We are alive in Him! You are either alive in Him or you are dead in your spirit.
There is no middle ground. It does not matter what material wealth you enjoy.
It does not matter what power you have in the natural or what high position you hold. If you are not washed by the blood of the lamb and not operating under the unction of the Holy Spirit, then everything else amounts to nothing.

As a believer you do not operate in the natural but your strength comes from who you are in Christ and the position you hold.

      Once you have surrendered, there is no turning back!

Updates for March 18th 2009

We have just returned from ministering in Australia and enjoyed the wonderful warmth of a people who embrace the Gospel. Australia is a diversified country comprising of many different nationalities and we were honored to minister to Chinese, Malaysians, Filipinos, Koreans, Fijians and even South Africans.

In these times of turmoil there is a renewed hunger amongst the people and never more so than that of the large immigrant population that makes up this nation

I believe that we as believers have to realize that despite the economic meltdown taking place all over the globe that our hope is founded on God’s provision for our lives and despite the doom and gloom we have a Heavenly Father who knows and supplies our every need. All we have to do is to hold on to our faith and maintain the righteous character of God in our daily living.

Message: Rising above the storm

We are living in turbulent times when we as believers are being buffeted in every direction as we try to survive the squalls of life. As a righteous generation we should be buoyed by the promise that we have a Heavenly Father who knows our every need and is able to do exceedingly more that we are able to imagine.

Even though our circumstances might suggest the storms of life are getting ready overtake us and cause us to lose hope.
We have to hold on to promise that says that ”He will never leave us nor forsake us”. However we cannot unlock the promises of God until we have dealt with the areas of our lives that have kept us in bondage and allowed the enemy to come in and cause us to walk in fear of the future.

We need to submit those fears to the authority of our Heavenly Father and allow our faith to bring us to a point of expectancy where we can look forward to Glory of God being revealed in our lives. Do not look back, the plan that God has ordained for our lives is filled with hope and a future and does not include failure.

So rise up and move out of your despondency, allow the Spirit of God to motivate every area of your life that has kept you from fulfilling the plan of God for your life.
