Code Orange Revival Day 2



Last night was the second night of Elevation Church’s “#CodeOrangeRevival". Without question the theme was of God’s faithfulness to us.

As usual the night was packed with crazy lines and people were eager to get in! Standing room only at both locations:)

There was another phenomenal worship experience from Elevation Worship. It's so awesome that Elevation Church goes above and beyond anything I have seen with their band and stage show that leads into the actual sermon.


The speaker of the night was Pastor Jentezen Franklin, founder and lead pastor of Free Chapel. He started out stating that he decided to scrap his originally planned sermon to talk about God’s faithfulness. During last night sermon there is no question that the biggest take away from the message was “When one generation is faithful, it’s possible to store up mercy for the next generation."


He used his time to preach about the covenant David had with God... and talked about this faithfulness to him... He talked the linage from Solomon to Josiah and how after hundreds of years God stayed faithful. Pastor Franklin made the point you were created for God and His hand is on your life.
Just as David’s linage was blessed because of his covenant, he preached that when the head of the house is faithful to God the rest of the family usually is.... he called it, the prodigal’s advantage. “If you’re a child that has been raised in church you might get pulled away, but the prodigal always knows the way back home.” I believe that what we as parents do now is not just affecting the here and now. As you serve God you have to decide between storing up iniquity or mercy for your families. I believe we can affect our children for generations to come. Our lives can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks.

I thought this was fitting as all great things have small beginnings... weather its the start of a business, relationship, local church or a career...


Of coarse, Pastor Steven wrapped up the night with a few encouraging words and talked about how many people actually tuned in... One thing that caught my attention was that #Codeorangerevival was one of the top hash tag symbols used on Twitter over the last few nights. He went on to talk about how important it is to support your local church, finding a local church, and as always filling out prayer requests so that Elevation Church can pray for you. What an amazing night... looking forward to tonight's service!
