Intro
Friday, November 6 2026from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship
Hi there...
Only 56 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield. Psalms 5:12.Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 37-39; Hebrews 3.Thoughts For The Day
Wherever the Gospel is preached, no matter how crudely, there are bound to be results.We can endure life's wrongs because we know God will make things right.
You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
There Is No God?She was the best-known atheist in the United States, perhaps in all the world. Madalyn Murray O'Hair was profane and aggressive, devoting herself to attacking all religion, and especially Christianity. Then, in 1995 at age 76, she mysteriously disappeared. Was she the victim of foul play or had she gone into hiding?
Before evidence eventually pointed to a former associate as the murderer, the Internal Revenue Service seized her personal belongings to pay delinquent taxes and personal debts. Included in the IRS auction was a penny that had the words "In God We Trust" scratched out. That 1-cent piece sold for $10. Also included was a Bible, which sold for $2,000.
As mere paper and ink, that Bible was worth at the most only a few dollars. But as the Word of God, which communicates the truth of salvation, that Book was priceless, as is any edition of God's Word.
Do we, unlike those who deny God's existence, put our trust in Him and His Word? Do we agree with the psalmist who wrote, "The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver."? (Psalm 119:72). If we do, let's study Scripture, embrace its teachings, and obediently live out its truths. The sad thing for most people is the failed doctrines of professing Christians. God is a God of power and evidence... anything less is not God's salvation.
Jokes Of The Day
A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. While they were walking through the barn, the farmer's mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly.At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head yes and say something. Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, he would shake his head no and mumble a reply.
Curious, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about.
The farmer replied, "The women would say, 'What a terrible tragedy' and I would nod my head and say, 'Yes, it was.' The men would ask, 'You wanna sell that mule?' and I would shake my head and say, 'Can't. It's all booked up for a year.'

Q: What did they call the canary that flew into the pastry dish?
A: Tweetie Pie.
************************************
A man is speeding down the freeway when he's stopped by a police car and has to pull over.
"Do you realize you were doing 80 m.p.h. in a 60 m.p.h. zone, sir?" asks the policeman.
"That's impossible, sir, I never break the speed limit," replies the driver.
The driver's wife butts in and says, "Yes, you do, I'm always telling you to keep your speed down."
The policeman says, "I also noticed, sir, that you didn't have your seat belt on.
You put it on as I was walking over to your car."
"That is not true, sir; I always wear my seat belt," replies the driver.
"No, you don't, I'm always telling you to put your seat belt on," says the driver's wife.
"Stupid woman," the driver explodes, "can't you, just for once, keep that big, fat trap of yours shut?"
The policeman is a bit shocked by how the driver is speaking to his wife, so he moves around to her side of the car. "Does he often speak to you like this, madam?"
"Oh, no, officer," she says, "only when he's drunk."

Riddle Of The Day
Walk on the living, they don't even mumble, step on the dead, they mutter and grumble. What is the thing that is muttering and grumbling?Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
There was this black dog in the middle of a black road all the houses are black and the moon and stars weren't out.The power was out in this town and a guy whose headlights were out was driving down the road and almost hit the dog but he swerved just in time.How did the man see the dog?
It was daylight.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Reality Without RudenessSometimes we tend to be too nice. When people are doing wrong, we are afraid to confront their behaviour, and we choose just to be nice. When a friend is slipping into a worldly lifestyle or a relative is drinking too much, we ignore the situations and do not confront them. When an unsaved workmate is trusting in good works for eternal life, we remain silent about the power of the Holy Ghost. But believers should not compromise obedience to God's Word just to be nice.
A US Supreme Court Justice said that "in the effort to be civil in conduct, many who know better actually dilute [their] firmly held views to avoid appearing judgmental. They curb their tongues, not only in form but also in substance. This is not civility, it is cowardice. Or well-intentioned self-deception at best."
In Matthew 9, Jesus wasn't concerned about being nice. He looked the Jewish teachers of the law in the eye and said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?" (v4). Nor was He worried about being civil when He called the Pharisees "whitewashed tombs... full of dead men's bones" (23:27). He courageously confronted them and exposed their sin.
Sometimes being nice isn't nice.
The Gifts of Healing
To another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:9.
In this passage the word 'gifts' is written in plural while all the other gifts of the Spirit are expressed in singular. Healing has a double role to play in our lives. If we consider that forgiveness is a form of healing as well, we can see that healing has spiritual and natural applications. Jesus often forgave people their sins as well as healing their bodies. He healed every sickness and every disease (Matthew 9:35).
He always had time for those who were sick. Never was a sick person pushed aside. Never did a sick person hear that Jesus would not or could not heal him. The Spirit of the Lord worked through Him without limitation. Jesus had the Spirit beyond measure.
We have received a portion of God's Spirit, and through the gifts of healing, this same Spirit can move in a most wonderful way. Therefore, we are always to pray for sick people. The Bible never once says that we should not pray for the sick. On the contrary, it says we should pray for the sick or, to use Jesus' words, Heal the sick (Matthew 10:8). We cannot dominate the gifts of the Spirit, but we can be open and eager to have them operating in our lives.

We should always pray for the sick whether we see a manifestation of the Sprit or not. The gifts will function if we use our faith and are expectant. The gifts of healing can have a variety of outcomes. Sometimes certain diseases are immediately healed. Sometimes it seems like some are better able to deal with certain diseases. It is impossible to fully explain why this is so.
'The wind blows where it wills, and so it is with all who are born of the Spirit'. What is important is that the Spirit wants to heal people. We must be sensitive to the Spirit so we can follow Him and He can use us.
