MUST HEAR: Christ Magnified In Our Bodies by Leonard Ravenhill

mp3 download:
| Christ Magnified In Our Bodies by Leonard Ravenhill Topic: Obedience | |
| Description: Asked why he was used of the Lord so greatly in China, Hudson Taylor replied, 'God had looked long for a man weak enough, and He found me.' He takes the weak things of the world to confound the mighty. Spiritual wisdom does not come with years; neither does maturity. The key to both is obedience. Whatsoever He saith unto YOU, do it. | |

SermonIndex celebrates an upcoming 10 years of ministry and over 20 million sermon downloads.
Contact: Greg Gordon, Founder of SermonIndex.net, 778-779-0097, sermonindex@gmail.com
ABBOTSFORD, CANADA, March 1, 2012 / Christian Newswire/ -- In the Evangelical Christian world there are few things that remain hidden to many as a great resource and treasure to the church. One of these hidden treasures to some is the website ministry of SermonIndex.net. This online ministry began very humbly just about 10 years ago when the founder Greg Gordon in his parents home ran across a book of Leonard Ravenhill's and when impacted by the message started to get this late preacher's sermons online. "I never really considered the website a ministry for the longest time; it simply began as a hobby," states Greg, "Only after the first million sermons where downloaded and many testimony letters came in that I realized God is powerfully using this website for His glory."
This "hobby" has now become one of the premier websites on the entire internet to receive free audio sermons by some of the best classic preachers from the past. Currently to date you can access literally hundreds of sermons from the famous preachers such as: A.W. Tozer, Leonard Ravenhill, David Wilkerson, Carter Conlon, George Verwer, Art Katz and many more. After almost 10 years of ministry, the website has expanded not only to host sermons but to run over 10 international conferences on revival where the attendance was free. Greg feels the style and burden of ministry is different than many other Christian organizations in the West: "I felt since the beginning to try and run the ministry for the lowest amount of resources while still maintaining the great impact for the kingdom." Perhaps unorthodox in some ways, Greg states some of the goals and principles of the work: "God told me never sell any of the sermon materials and to allow them to be copied for free personal use and free distribution." He continues, "We have never begged for money and have rarely made our needs known trusting God for all that is required to run the website and its outreaches."
To-date the website gives access to over 20,000 audio sermons in the mp3 format which can be downloaded to your computer or any modern media player. SermonIndex also offers materials in video, text and even some old vintage images of some of the classical preachers listed. Greg shares on the impact he has felt the website ministry has had over these years: "It is really hard to even gauge how God has used this ministry, we know roughly how many downloads are from the main site but we cannot even begin to estimate how many have been downloaded and listened to world-wide through other sites, radio, T.V. and other media outlets. Thus we give God 100% of the glory for His work and the way He is spreading these vital sermons to others."
Many famous leaders in the Church have commended this work and its almost 10 years of ministry now:
"This site is just what the body of Christ needs to prepare us for our Lord's return." - K.P. Yohannan (International Director of Gospel for Asia)
"How I thank the Lord for this great website and ministry." - George Verwer (Founder of Operation Mobilisation)
"Sermonindex.net has done the Body of Christ a great service by compiling and cataloguing thousands of sermons related to revival." - Byron Paulus (Executive Director of Life Action Ministries)
"What a gift from God to this generation is SermonIndex!" - Dr. Michael L. Brown (President, FIRE School of Ministry)
"I enjoy using sermon index because it allows me to listen to messages from preachers who have gone on to glory." - Michael Catt (Pastor, Sherwood Baptist Church)
"We are in desperate need of revival in our time and Sermonindex is being used by God to awaking the church to this need." - Clayton Dougan (Preacher/Evangelist, Evangelism International)
We end with a comment from the founder in which he wrote down many years ago and states that he has continually come back to read this to himself to remember that SermonIndex is a work of the Lord:
"Remember it is the work of the Lord! God began it and He will be faithful to finish it for His testimony and glory. You are just a little boy with a few loaves and fish to give to Jesus. Depend on Him, not on yourself nor your abilities, ministry experience or self-confidence. Remember! It is still: Not by might, not by power but by His Spirit. A time is coming when you will stand before God. Everything done for self-promotion, praise of men or success will be burnt away, just a heap of ashes! The will of your Heavenly Father should be your only concern."

Others May, You Cannot By G.D.Watson
OTHERS MAY, YOU CANNOT
If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
(Matthew 16:24-25)
If God has called you to be truly like Jesus in all your spirit, He will draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility. He will put on you such demands of obedience that you will not be allowed to follow other Christians. In many ways, He seems to let other good people do things which He will not let you do.
Others who seem to be very religious and useful may push themselves, pull wires, and scheme to carry out their plans, but you cannot. If you attempt it, you will meet with such failure and rebuke from the Lord as to make you sorely penitent.
Others can brag about themselves, their work, their successes, their writings, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such thing. If you begin to do so, He will lead you into some deep mortification that will make you despise yourself and all your good works.
Others will be allowed to succeed in making great sums of money, or having a legacy left to them, or in having luxuries, but God may supply you only on a day-to-day basis, because He wants you to have something far better than gold, a helpless dependence on Him and His unseen treasury.
The Lord may let others be honored and put forward while keeping you hidden in obscurity because He wants to produce some choice, fragrant fruit for His coming glory, which can only be produced in the shade.
God may let others be great, but keep you small. He will let others do a work for Him and get the credit, but He will make you work and toil without knowing how much you are doing. Then, to make your work still more precious, He will let others get the credit for the work which you have done; this to teach you the message of the Cross, humility, and something of the value of being cloaked with His nature.
The Holy Spirit will put a strict watch on you, and with a jealous love rebuke you for careless words and feelings, or for wasting your time, which other Christians never seem distressed over.
So make up your mind that God is an infinite Sovereign and has a right to do as He pleases with His own, and that He may not explain to you a thousand things which may puzzle your reason in His dealings with you.
God will take you at your word. If you absolutely sell yourself to be His slave, He will wrap you up in a jealous love and let other people say and do many things that you cannot. Settle it forever; you are to deal directly with the Holy Spirit, He is to have the privilege of tying your tongue or chaining your hand or closing your eyes in ways which others are not dealt with. However, know this great secret of the Kingdom: When you are so completely possessed with the Living God that you are, in your secret heart, pleased and delighted over this peculiar, personal, private, jealous guardianship and management of the Holy Spirit over your life, you will have found the vestibule of heaven, the high calling of God.
