Luke 24:13-35 “The Road To Emmaus”

The Road To Emmaus

Emmaus – means hot and heat

             Some Awesome Things Happened On The Road To Emmaus

(1) THE EMMAUS ROAD IS A ROAD WHERE JESUS STAYS – Luke 24:29

-I want jesus to stay with me and CCWC and not pass us by

-Jesus is walking with the disciples after His resurrection

-The disciples did not want Jesus to leave – constrain…urge…plead…to press someone on an issue…they gave reasons fro Jesus to stay with them…this was a tone of urgency and desperation

-they cried out to the Lord – it means to roar like a lion…a ringing sound & shriek

***Matthew 20:29-34 – the blind men cried out to the Lord and kept crying out to Him

***Exodus 3:1-10 – the children of Israel in Egypt cried out to the Lord

1. The Lord limits Himself to our prayers

-when we pray the Lord moves.  When we do not pray the Lord does not move…

2. The amount of people crying out to the Lord makes a difference

-in Exodus, millions of Jewish people were crying out to the Lord

-Leviticus 26:8 and Matthew 18:19-20

-corporate prayer is a part of prayer – Acts 1:15, 14 – prayer in tongues…

(2) THE EMMAUS ROAD IS A ROAD WHERE EYES ARE OPENED – v31

-all of our eyes must be opened to what is going in the days in which we are living

               ***Our eyes must be opened to know Him – v31

-that we are saved, He is the only Savior, to know how good the Lord truly is

               ***Our eyes must be opened that the church needs revival

-revival is for the believer to wake them up

-the U.S. is one of the largest unreached peoples groups in the world

              ***Our eyes must be opened to understand that there are 2 main streams flowing @ the same time across the globe right now – Lukewarmness and Reviavl

-Lukewarmness is a spirit from the enemy
