A Question for You

[His son]

I agree, but how would revival come about? What are the dynamics? How would you describe it?

1. SHAKE UP!

2. Men seeking God's heart

3. God moving in man, causing man to seek God's heart more

4. God moving more...........an ongoing cycle.

NOW! How does it begin???

What say ye?

In His Love,

Suzanne

True revival starts is the hearts of the members of God's family, Christ shows up there, and this definitly causes a division between confessors, and true circumcised in the heart believers. Either the confessors will leave because their consciences can't handle The Truth, nor the manifestations of God's presence amongst the body or the true believer will leave because they are not getting The Truth. This is happening through out the world, and will continue to Christ comes back. Part of this revival in individual hearts is a longing for The Face Of Jesus, and one becomes like the seeker in The Song Of Solomon, and will only grow more intense until one knows that their lover is with them. Like it is written in Revelation to one of the churches, we will return to our first love. Of course that will result in many other changes in the church, to the extent that the world will know that something is happening that they can't explain with any of their worldly knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. So the apostasy, and the revival sort of go hand in hand. I have read of some of the early revivals that were so full of God's glory that the firemen saw flames leaping from the roof of the church, and when they arrived there were flames but no fire, and upon going in to investegate they all got saved. That's the kind of revival the prophets all speak about, and the one that's now happening I believe will more intense. The short version, God The Father, Jesus The Son, And The Holy Spirit show up, in an awsome manifestation, and shake every thing up until nothing will ever be the same.

Hey eric! I'd love to, but I'll leave that to the man/men God uses. But you can be sure, I'll be the power of prayer behind him.

You with me?

Hey, so how come America hasn't had REAL revival yet? What's lacking now?

:sleep: WAKE UP America!!! Let's pray for some men of God to STAND UP and LET HIM WORK IN YOU!!!!!

I agree His son, that is the same thing I have come to understand about the Great Revivals of the past, they come amidst a VERY DARK time. I guess that is why I am hopeful and prayerful.

How Great Revivals Started

Eric W. Hayden, in his book Spurgeon on Revival, said this:

Almost every book dealing with a spiritual awakening or a revival of history begins by describing the pre-revival situation in approximately the same words. For instance, you will read such words as these: "the darkness before the dawn"; the sleep of midnight and gross darkness"; or "dissolution and decay." W.T. Stead, who was a child of the Welsh Revival of 1859, when writing of the later revival in the twentieth century, said of it: "Note how invariably the revival is preceded by a period of corruption."

:t: True revival will happen when the LORDS people experience the undeniable power of the spirit of GOD. Which will come when some shake off the chains of deceit that has been binding the whole multitude since long befor they were born. It will come from the field and not the gathering in a building called a church. just like it always has. And the nation that will be revived is GODS holy nation jerusalem. because all other nations are already condemned.

Suzanne, as much as I respect you and love you - even admire you...

There will be no revival until the two witnesses and the 144,000 and that mighty angel witness to the folks in the tribulation. Thank God ye and me will be with Him by then.

Sorry to disagree with you my precious sister, but I see it NOT happening before then. All we have now is apostasy, and it's gettin' worse day-by-day, hour-by-hour. Now, we even have this silly "purpose driven church" movement taking over the few remaining God preaching, God fearing churches.

You know sweetheart, it's all just about feeling good and not offending anyone these days. The TRUTH is not being preached anymore, or at least rarely. Do you not see this?

There will be no revival until God turns His Holy attention back to the Jews, in that final week (7 years).

God bless you and keep you sister :il:

Amen icpguy,

I don't know why people think there's going to be a revival. It's a nice thought but the Bible teaches the contrary.

The chains are strong and heavy and though you have the scriptures, you can't find the key to the locks. Or could it be that it is easier to believe the lie and just perish with every one else? Or even the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak?

Thank God ye and me will be with Him by then.

This is what believing in a false Christ will get you.

Jeremiah 7:8 "Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit.

9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know,

10 and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, 'We are delivered to do all these abominations'?

11 Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it," says the Lord.

12 "But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.

13 And now, because you have done all these works," says the Lord, "and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called YOU, but YOU DID NOT ANSWER,

14 therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

15 And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren.

Mt 25:41

Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

Sorry, but I see no true revival on the horizon.

You appear to be a nice in some respects, but there are many revivals taking place, if you look well enough you will witness them too.

[BoldlyProclaimingChrist]

If there truly were revivals going on now, then we wouldn't have to squint to see them. I mean that with the utmost kindness...really.
