God is assembling an army of individuals who have faced and survived life's hardships. These individuals are prepared to confront challenges and make a difference. Dear readers, it's important to remember that a church's spiritual strength depends on its leaders, and you can only give what you possess. Dear Saints, for us to experience authentic, heartfelt, life-changing revival, we must realize that revival is not a series of church meetings but is a reviving of that which is dying, such as someone who is pulled out of a lake and needs immediate attention by qualified people that are trained to know what is required to help discharge the water from their lungs and get them breathing again on their own, thus reviving them back to life.
Beloved, did you know that God is in the process of raising people who have been through harrowing trials in life designed to bring them to a place of brokenness, both in their spirit and in their will to follow his leading for their life and ministry?
Saints, our entire life’s experiences have been a training ground to prepare us for where we are today. Our God has allowed heartbreaks, persecutions, and circumstances to come into our lives to prepare his chosen leaders for the coming clash with the Kingdom of darkness.
(Psalms 113:7-8) gives us a picture of the coming end-time revival as the psalmist speaks of the poor (those broken in spirit for their sins) to rise out of the dust (Their shame) and the needy (those specially trained and chosen) to rise from the dunghill (trash pile-low self-esteem) and the Princes (nobody's-not yet known) shall set before the Nobles (the somebody's) those that are well known) of his people.
Beloved, "The nobody shall set before the somebody's and become somebody for the masters use, or in other words, the remnant, the Mary Magdalen's, the woman at the well and the Sampson's shall be the ones specially groomed and chosen for this coming battle with the kingdom of darkness.
Beloved will require the body of Christ to come together as one unified body working in harmony like a musical symphony to experience a life-changing revival.
Dear readers, instead of a one-person show with loose body parts that do not resemble a body, may we, with one mind and one accord, work together and finish this race contending for the faith that we may lay hold on eternal life.
Beloved Saints, God is moving people around and is calling what some proud leaders would call the scum of the Earth to be the worship leaders in the end time revival, people that have nothing to lose because they know they will have to fight for every inch of ground they get.
Dear readers and fellow Saints, they are specially chosen because they do not live for the recognition of this world; beloved, the result will be an ushering in of cleansing and empowerment that will bring hope to a confused world that has lost its way through the greed of men lusting for power over others.
Saints, as we come into holiness and purity, we will be keenly aware that our present way of life today is unacceptable to a Holy God.
Beloved, may we kneel before his throne of mercy in repentance and pray till our prayer becomes a cry for the cleansing revival fire to fall upon us and our nation. A-Men.
Church, we are living in a microwave society where we can have a meal in just a few minutes, and with computers in every home, nations today are intoxicated with sex and lewd entertainment with some TV programs using subliminal messages (hidden messages only the sub-consciousness of man can receive) to indoctrinate the minds of those watching their programs.
Beloved, Christians today are deceived into thinking that if they pray and go through the forms of worship, they are qualified to approach our Holy God when they have a need, believing that he will drop everything and meet their need, never being taught that his word states that if there is sin especially unforgiveness in our hearts, "He will not hear us" (Psalms. 66:18).
Beloved, we desperately need a move of God to bring us back to a spirit of prayer requiring a life of holiness and Saints; we desperately need true revival and not a series of meetings that we call revival, which is nothing more than worked up flesh with people leaving the services more entertained than elevated.
Church, life-changing revival is when we experience God in his holiness doing a work among His people, where everything is consumed and laid bare before the eyes of an all-seeing, all-wise God.
Saints, when God's accurate revival cleansing fire falls on a church body, it will strip the deceptive masks off worked-up flesh and bring order as the Holy Spirit establishes Jesus Christ as Lord over all.
Church, why do pastors send out for a pastor in another church for revival with plans for that same host pastor to come to their church the following month and leave out the work of the Evangelist?
Beloved, it is because they try and keep the meetings in their churches, and in so doing, they give God little room to work, not realizing that revival is not about evangelism but about gathering together as one unified body working in harmony, giving heartfelt worship to our Lord as God, including giving him time and room to revive their church.
Beloved reader, the word states that when Zion (church) gets in travel, she will bring or give birth to her children; therefore, beloved, revival is not proclaiming the Gospel to those who do not know Christ, but Saints; revival is God renewing our hearts, it is when God is known and respected as God.
Church preparation for revival comes when we allow God to work in us, to bring us to a place of repentance, which will get us to a new walk of obedience to the Lord and his word.
Saints, if we desire to know God, we must get to know Him in His sovereignty, realizing that He is Almighty God, and for us to experience a life-changing revival, we must know and respect Him as the sovereign God who honors his word above his name. A-Men.
