Awesome message about revival!
 

Click here for one of the best messages on the subject of revival I've come across. We need the truth contained in this message very desperately today.

What, no interest?

Just checked in a hotel and taking a peek before going to dinner. Lots of traveling so might be this weekend before I can read it but I will.

It was very long so I skimmed. I got the gist of it. Revival is hard to achieve because most do not LOVE THE LORD OUR GOD with all the heart soul mind and strength.

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature......

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following"

When TRUTH is taught (not the "watered-down, half-truths" we witness today), then revival is the natural outcome!

Has "REVIVAL" ever come outside of the preaching of the gospel?

Very few denominations are preaching the gospel: and fewer still teach believers "How To"
perform "...the work of the ministry...", or even dissuade the believers from actually doing so:
teaching that only the ministry should do "...the work of the ministry..."!

Oh, some preach about repentance, but that (of itself) is NOT the gospel; others, preach about
baptism, but that (of itself) is NOT the gospel; while others, still, preach about receiving the
Holy Spirit, and that (of itself) is NOT the gospel. Here's the problem: there are too many
teachers and not enough students!

Are you called a pastor or teacher? Then you should be edifying the believers;
are you called to be an evangelist? Then teach the Church how to work the ministry;
Are you called to a prophet? Then perfect the saints to become elders, eligible for the Ministry;
Or called to be an apostle? Be ready to strike goliath on the head, no matter where he's at!

"...he took his staff...and chose him FIVE smooth stones out of the brook..."

Seriously, everybody ought to read the article.

Go on, I dare ya. Double dare you. Double-dog dare ya.

You'll feel... well, just read it. But you gotta read ALL of it, take your time...

(feelings...nothing more than...feelings... :lol)

should make pastors the world over who direct "church" as an event, and can't understand why they have resistance to "revival" in that context at least feel better. I can't help but "feel" that i am now counted among those who "hate God," however. :heeheehee

i mean, it is titled Christian Affinity, and seems to be bodied Religious Condemnation, with all due respect. Agreement is reduced to agreement with him. Not that he doesn't make some good points, but i can't help but read an appeal to ego in this.

Wow. You really are disconnected from a lot of things. No offense intended, but to suggest what you suggest about this article... I mean, wow. smh

Actually, on second thought, your post is a textbook example of how correct the author was. With everything considered, your consistent opposition to the "kerusso" of the good news... it all makes sense. OF COURSE you have no "affinity" with Finney or the ideas he espouses. You CAN'T. And Mr Finney explains why in the article.
