Campmeeting 2009: Keep The Fire Alive

A few things have changed from early camp meetings to Campmeeting 2009. Services are no longer held outdoors under a tent, and there’s no sawdust on the ground. But RHEMA Bible Church’s auditorium in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, still crackled with camp meeting energy as 12 men and women of God infused with the fire of the Spirit “preached up a storm.”

From July 19th through the 25th, the RHEMA campus was ablaze with activity. The flames of the Holy Spirit swept through the main auditorium, the nearby Rooker Memorial Auditorium—the venue for Summer Blitz 2009 for youth—and the Ninowski Recreation Center, where services for elementary children were held.

One thing is certain: Campmeeting 2009 made a lasting mark on the lives of those who were there. As attendees returned to their cities and towns throughout the United States and around the world, they carried with them aburning desire to turn up the heat of God’s love for a lost and dying world.

What You Missed:

“You’ve got to put some action to what you say you believe so that God can come and invade your situation and circumstances. He has the power to deliver you and set you free. If you will believe, seek, and act on the Word, God will come on the scene by His Spirit, invade your life, and cause things to happen that you could never see in the natural realm.”
Charles Cowan



“Too many people are trying and not believing. To try something is to attempt something. When you attempt it, you’re hoping to succeed. To believe is to count something as true. When you try something, you do not believe it’s going to work. You hope it’s going to work. Many people are trying to have faith, but they don’t believe. Don’t try. Believe!”
Craig W. Hagin


“The very thing you need to whip the devil is right in your hands. You have the power of God. You have the Name of Jesus. You already have what you need. Quit listening to the symptoms, the circumstances, and the discouragement. When David went out to battle Goliath, he looked down right where he was at and picked up five smooth stones.”
Darrell Huffman



“In the world there’s recession, but in the Church there’s glory. I am convinced God gets His greatest joy out of doing the impossible in impossible situations. We recognize what’s going on in the world, but the Bible says we’re in this world, but we’re not of this world. God is our Father. He’s responsible to take care of us.”
J.C Hash



“I don’t want you to be a follower. I want you to be someone who leads others in the Truth. You’ve heard the stories; how about you having one of your own? Do you want to read the Book or do you want to be the Book? I don’t want you to hear a good message; I want you to be a good message!”
Lois Taucher Of Shekinah Glory



“What are you focusing on today? Are you focusing on the circumstances or our delivering God? The woman with the issue of blood didn’t focus on her circumstances. She said, ‘If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole’ (Mark 5:28). And she was healed! The circumstances of life may have made you dizzy, but if you will focus on the Lord, He will bring you out of the circumstances every time.”
Lynette Hagin


“You’ve got fire burning on the inside of you. You’ve got the fire and glory of God shut up in your bones. The fire of God will give you boldness. The fire of God burning in your spirit will burn up the chaff. Everything the devil has tried to put on you, the fire of God will burn up. Every bit of it will disappear, just like it never happened."
Mark Hankins



“Sometimes we have to make decisions but we’re not sensitive enough to hear the voice of God. That’s because we have become too busy to hear what the Spirit of God is saying. We have to spend time in the Word and sit in the presence of the Lord until we’re so saturated with relationship that anything we ask of Him, He does, because we’re abiding in Him and He in us.”
Reggie Scarborough



“To go where God wants you to go and be what He wants you to be, you must turn loose of guilt, shame, and condemnation. You have to learn to bounce, and let God—by His Spirit—take you higher. You owe it to God to get back up when you fall, no matter how badly you’ve messed up. Rise up and bounce, because greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in the world.”
