Dr. Henry Blackaby

Cool Spring Church was blessed with the opportunity to have Dr. Henry Blackaby speak in the Cool Spring Worship Center on March 5th to a full capacity audience.  Included on this page is a listing of Scripture verses cited by Dr. Blackaby, and a letter written by Wayne Smith, Minister of Discipleship and Missions at Cool Spring:

Hello brothers and sisters in Christ,

Last night we had the privilege of having Dr. Henry Blackaby, author of Experiencing God, to speak to Christians from all over our area (750-800 present). His message was centered on renewal in our nation and in our personal relationship with God and Jesus Christ.

Dr. Blackaby asked specifically that we pray for him on March 13 as he will be at the White House with the President and some of our national leaders. Please add this to your churches prayer list in light of our international crises. I am confident that any of your members that were in attendance were touched by the message and the power of the Lord. Let us unite in PRAYER for our nation.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Thank you so much for making this night such a special time in the life of Cool Spring Baptist Church. It is not often that God sends a brother in the Lord like Dr. Blackaby to touch, challenge and change the hearts of so many people. Continue to be in earnest prayer that the Lord will unite our hearts and and move us to a greater awareness of His awesome presence in our personal lives, church life and the life of our country. Renewal begins in the individual heart, soul, mind and strength of the believer and then it moves in the church and then the world as you go in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I can not wait to see what the Lord has in store for our church. Thank you once again for making this a pivotal moment in the life of our church.

Your brother in Christ,
Wayne Smith Minister Discipleship and Missions

Scripture Verses Cited by Dr. Blackaby:

(What more could God have done for us than He has done?)
Isaiah 5

¹     I will sing for the one I love

       a song about his vineyard:

     My loved one had a vineyard

       on a fertile hillside.

²     He dug it up and cleared it of stones

       and planted it with the choicest vines.

     He built a watchtower in it

       and cut out a winepress as well.

     Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,

       but it yielded only bad fruit.

³     “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and men of Judah,

       judge between me and my vineyard.

⁴     What more could have been done for my vineyard

       than I have done for it?

     When I looked for good grapes,

       why did it yield only bad?

⁵     Now I will tell you

       what I am going to do to my vineyard:

     I will take away its hedge,

       and it will be destroyed;

     I will break down its wall,

       and it will be trampled.

⁶     I will make it a wasteland,

       neither pruned nor cultivated,

       and briers and thorns will grow there.

     I will command the clouds

       not to rain on it.”

⁷     The vineyard of the LORD Almighty

       is the house of Israel,

     and the men of Judah

       are the garden of his delight.

     And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed;

       for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.

⁸     Woe to you who add house to house

       and join field to field

     till no space is left

       and you live alone in the land.

(The Power of the Cross)

1 Corinthians 1

     ¹⁸For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Luke 13

⁵ [Jesus speaking] "I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

⁶Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. ⁷So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

⁸“‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. ⁹If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”

2 Chronicles 7

     ¹⁴if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Isaiah 66

⁷     “Before she goes into labor,

       she gives birth;

     before the pains come upon her,

       she delivers a son.

⁸     Who has ever heard of such a thing?

       Who has ever seen such things?

     Can a country be born in a day

       or a nation be brought forth in a moment?

     Yet no sooner is Zion in labor

       than she gives birth to her children.

⁹     Do I bring to the moment of birth

       and not give delivery?” says the LORD.

     “Do I close up the womb

       when I bring to delivery?” says your God.

¹⁰   “Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her,

       all you who love her;

     rejoice greatly with her,

       all you who mourn over her.

¹¹   For you will nurse and be satisfied

       at her comforting breasts;

     you will drink deeply

       and delight in her overflowing abundance.”

(The Power of the Resurrection)

Ephesians 1
