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.

Re: Awesome message about revival!
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.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Awesome message about revival!
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.

Re: Awesome message about revival!
"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!

Very few denominations are preaching the gospel: and fewer still teach believers "How To"

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!

Re: Awesome message about revival!
(feelings...nothing more than...feelings...  )
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. 
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

Re: Awesome message about revival!
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.
