"A God-powered Revival- versus-A man made move!"

Throughout history we have heard about revivals-that were started by a group of men and women who prayed fervently for more of God! Their relentless prayer touched the heart of God and revival broke out. It started in one place and moved across the nation-crossed the sea and became a phenomenon!
In some cases, a revival that started out with a powerful anointing-ended, lets say, "not so good."
Recently there was a revival in Florida, it began with the Hand of God, until sin got in and it was cut short.
Yes, many were touched and changed-God's fingerprints were there, but man got in the way and it tanked.


I have been studing revivals and I found some interesting facts about what can bring a revival to a sad end- or cause it to spread like a "wild fire. Let me share them with you....

1. Putting a man into the spot light instead of God, or making a person the focus of the revival can bring disaster. There is only one Superstar in revival.. and that is Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, the Savior of the world.

2. A true revival is not competitive- Absolutely not! During a "true revival" there is no "one church." Christ is reaching and touching His body and He wants no one to be left out.
Those who feel that "their church has it all," can be a dent in God's plan.
True revival is about unity! True revival is not divided by buildings, denominations, culture or color. Love flows unbridled! Unity is the key!

3. One of the first signs of a "God powered revival" is REPENTANCE! Yes, repentence!
The ugliness of sin is exposed, the Church repents of it and resists the temptations of the world-and walla.... "sanctification!"

4. As fervent prayer fills the House of God, sin is escorted out and "Holiness unto the Lord" is escorted in. Which is followed by....

5. MIRACLES! Authentic, real deal MIRACLES! The lame walk, the blind see, tumors shrink, reports of healings pour in. Which leads to....

6. Powerful and Anointed Worship! People lay prostate on the floor, no one watches the clock. The presence of God is strong, which results in..........

7. An entire town, city, village being affected. People begin coming to the door of the church to see what is happening! They are curious- the power of God is manifested in them and they leave born of the spirit. The salvation of souls goes on daily.

8. These gatherings can go on all night or for days, weeks, months, years!
As long as a "man or woman" does not get in the way, looking for glory or trying to "create" their own move.

9. But sin has to be REPELLED, and yet forgiveness and love extended to the one who repents and turns away.

I don't want a man made revival! Someone who seeks to build their church or ministry.
I long after a revival that is TOTALLY GOD!
I believe we are beginning to see one breaking out across the world.
Reports of miracles are coming in, salvation is at an all time high.
Muslims are being visited by visions of Jesus and getting saved.
Satanists are leaving the devil and coming over to serve the One True God.

This is the time, we are living in a powerful age. We will see a move of God like never before.
we must prepare-by fervent prayer, repentence, loving and forgiving, seeking the Face of God and witnessing to the lost.
Pray for the whole "Church of Jesus Christ to experience this great move of God. Revival!
I am so ready..... so excited and so willing to be a part-how about you?
