What
is Revival?
"Will you not revive us again, that
Your people may rejoice in you?" Psalm 85:6.
It glorious thing to know about Revival, because that is the
real need to meet every other needs. Of course it might be difficult to understand- but if you understand what is
Revival, then you will understand rest of the things. My intention is not to share logical theory- but the practical plan
of God, which we have been experiencing more than 2 decades. Prayerfully go through the pages and the dear
Lord will open your understanding to know His plan of Revival.
THE MEANING FOR REVIVAL
Theo+ logic - is theology- which the world knows is knowledge about
God.
Zoë'+ logic - is
Zoe'logy - The LIFE, which every one should have. As a matter of fact Zoë is not logic- but it is life the very Life of God.
Anazoe' - The meaning is regaining the very life of
God which is called Revival.
The Greek word Zoë' is the breath of God. Let us read Gen. 2:7,
"The Lord God formed man of the dust the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and
man became a living beings." Anazoe'- is regaining the life of God in our (Dead) lives..
"The breath of the Almighty gives him understanding (Reviving
sense)" Job 32:8.
Listen carefully dear readers, without Revival a man will be like the dust of the ground with his inborn nature of carnality. When he received the breath of God, that reviving process made him a living being. Only Revival brings the breath of God into the human lives.. That's why the Psalmist prayed this meaningful prayer in Psalm 85:6
"Will you not revival us again, that your people may rejoice in
you". Yes in Revival, there is joy, freedom, deliverance, blessing, and many more things. But without Life what you can enjoy. When Adam lost His Life- the Almighty God send it though His Son Jesus Christ. At the Cross He gave the Life(Jn.10:10)
REVIVAL STRUCTURE
God precisely shared with me many precious things during my years together walking with God by doing His Revival ministry. Those things are glorious and numerous. But I can simplify how to obtain Revival in three important things of God.
1. The glory of God,
2. The fire anointing,
3. The Holy Spirit outpouring.
But to learn these three things, God may demand our whole life. Revival is fundamentally strong and strongly rooted with the word of God.
a. What is the Glory of God?
Understanding brings reality in the Christian life. Anointing of The Holy Spirit or any other gifts are given by God. But the Glory of God is God Himself. When you have some gifts, you have something from the Lord. But if you seek His Glory, the Lord Himself will be with you forever (Mtt.28: 20).
We can see people stealing His glory for their useless theory. Living for denominations and doctrinal divisions only bring down the glory to God. God's glory is like an atom bomb. Any one, who touches it, will be blasted into pieces. Proper use will bring the power; improper use will bring only disaster.
Listen what God's Word says,
"I am the Lord, that is my name; and my Glory I will not give to another not my praise to graven
images" (Is. 42:8).
"Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck Herod, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and
died" (Acts 12:23).
Many of us including those who serve the Lord also suffer in so many ways, many times not because of our sins, but because we fail to give the due glory to God and God alone. Stealing the glory of God is exactly a spiritual suicide. In anything and everything let us give the glory to God. Halleluiah! Praise the Lord.
Revival restores the glory of God to His glorious name. At the same time, it destroys every name and fame of human race that steals and hides the glory of God. During the revival times - people have given the due glory to His name through their praises, in each and everything. Those who seek the glory of God will see His glory in their lives and ministry.
The Bible says in Is. 40:5, "The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together." If we want to see the total harvest in our work of God, His glory should be revealed in our doings and beings. Only the revived work of the Holy Spirit will bring revival blessings. Then the world will see the Glory - then the millions will be saved.
b. Fire Anointing
I don't know why people fear when they hear the word fire! We can't be satisfied with the mere anointing, but desperately we are in a need to have the fire anointing. It is real and spiritual, promised in
Luke 3:16. During Elijah's time, revival came among the double-minded Israelites because Elijah the prophet believed on fire answering God.
(1 King 18:24)
Men of God like John Wesley and Charles Finney believed on the holy fire anointing and could enjoy such a tremendous revival blessings. The humble William Booth, who transformed many slum dwellers and horrible sinners believed on two prominent things. That is Blood and Fire. Amen.
The holy fire does two prominent things. It burns all the powers of darkness and purifies the wicked human soul into perfection. It makes His people to inherit the new born nature (II Cor 5:17) Holy fire is delightful to his children but dreadful to the devils and his followers. Once I was called to cast out an evil spirit. It was adamant and escaped from even many mighty preachers. I simply called upon the fire answering God. He came as a fire, what a joyful experience I had, but when I opened my eyes, I couldn't see the devil. But I heard the screaming voice "Burning! Burning." The devil left the young man- Praise the Lord! Amen.
Hell fire! Where the sinners go, Holy fire, by which the heaven glows.
The Revival brings real fire of God among his people and churches-where there is a fire there will be power. Great Britain could ruled the world-because, they had a command in their army-"Fire." Every weak Christian can become a solider by believing God, who answers by fire. Water baptism is what we get from our Pastor; but Holy Spirit and Holy Fire baptism we must get from our Master (Lk. 3:16).
C. The Holy Spirit Out Pouring
Many people used to ask me, "Are you doing the Pentecostal ministry?" My answer has been "no'', because I am doing God's Vision of end time Revival ministry. What is that? That is knowing the Fire answering God of Elijah. And it is like to be taken by Fire Chariot. That is to see fulfilling in our lives the promise
"I will pour out my spirit on all flesh'' (Joel 2: 28). The anointing and gifts are over some flesh is former rain - but latter rain anointing is over all flesh; sons and daughters, young and old, servants and masters - yes, that is the end time ministry. Anyone who believe and promotes the revival plan will have these blessings in their lives.
The Prophet Zechariah says in 10:1- pray for the latter - rain. "When we see the dryness in our spirit, wickedness prevailing among the Christians, irresponsibility among God's
people", Finney says that it is the time to pray for the revival. There is a blessings in the latter - rain. In that rain, there is a lightening thunder-, which moves the clouds to make a heavy rain. In every field, there will be a fruitful harvest. For every man, in every church there will be a blessing.
Nowadays-lot of preaching yet plenty are perishing. Countless conventions but numerous confusions-because there is no outpouring of His Spirit among His people. That's why the prophet says in
Joel 1:17 " The seed grain shrivels under the clods." We need rain exactly the latter - rain; otherwise, the word of God will become vain.
God has given us the grace to learn these three things and to have this blessings personally. God touched many lives through these blessings of God and they have become the partakers of these revival blessings. We are sharing these things so that you might be a partaker of the revival plan of God, wherever you are.
The glory of God helps us to know His majesty and to realize His eternal blessings. His Fire anointing helps us to destroy the works of the utter darkness, which covers the people in these last days (Is. 60:2). The outpouring of His spirit helps us to be filled with His Spirit and to yield fruits for His glory. Those who believe will have these blessing. We are experiencing the same blessings along with thousands of those who accepted, and delivered through the plan of revival.
