Is. 57:15 "For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." God dwells in a high and holy...

This is good Mark. I agree that whether we are present or absent we should do all by faith...and what we have learned...to do what is acceptable to God in every moment, so help us Lord. The time I have spent in the higher walk has informed my faith and my ability to break quickly...surrender to...

What you should say is...a silly comment found in the bible.

2 Tim. 3;7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

This is simply a lowering of the standard of Christ to such an extent that even middle class religionists can claim to be there already. No seeking God here. No abiding in heaven with Christ. Just unbelief.

I preach a living God...not a man-made religious god. I preach a God of encounter, of empowerment. All you have is an idea of an afterlife... like all the pagan religions that have gone before. While you wait your Valhalla...there is a whole heaven to walk in right now. There is an abiding with...

That's the culture. Look at how many people here make all kinds of claims based on imagination. It's an American phenomenon. Maybe you need to travel a bit. You are not understanding what the church is supposed to be. You're stuck on a religious treadmill doing the same loops over and over...

The bible was written by prophets. Think about that. We are not talking about a religion and sacred writings...but a living breathing connection to God with miracles taking place all the time. The church of God...with prophets...is the pillar and ground of THE truth. A man-made church is the...

Actually Lonnie only fell into homosexuality after his divorce and after the churches had rejected his overbearing desire to see God move ALL the time. I take this as he not having any other facet of the Christian walk to fall back on. He despaired and he had been molested as a child by a...

Amen! :) Without a window into the kingdom realm we would never know the level of walk that Jesus walked in. When we abide in Him we walk as He walked...at His level. So then I don't diminish the calling of God. Yes...a deeper work of God to initialize and re-energize what may have fallen...

I have known 2 revivals (so far) in my life. If it wasn't for the first one, I wouldn't be a disciple of Christ today. That revival took place in the late 70's, early 80's on a street called "Bertrand" in St. Boniface, Manitoba. Many people were blessed by the fellowship that arose from that...

While God indeed operates spiritual renewal through revivals, we can't make the criteria about numbers, rather we should look at the depth of a particular move of God. The world looks at quantity...God looks at quality. From that perspective, there have been countless revivals, some big, but...

John who? Why limit God to there only being carnal religious people like you??? Without prophets there is no church of God. Only churches of men...controlled by men who have very little to no understand of eternal things....who stand against those who are spiritual in Christ. Cessationism is...

Does anybody on the forum have a personal experience or testimony to a revival?

Agreed. Without prophets there is no authority from God maintaining holiness in the revival.

Don't let the turkeys gobble you up. Fly with the eagles! :vgood: :woohoo!:

A house church setting is the only biblical model we have. Within that "oikos" is a loving family of faith that is there to encourage the inner man and help put the outer man in his place. So there is encouragement but also rebuke when necessary. The fellowship is a place of growth in 1...

I'm glad you enjoyed it. You are right. Lonnie became proud of his accomplishments...actually God's... and forgot...or never knew...about learning righteousness. He didn't know the value of humility and the fear of the Lord. He was so used to being used of God ...he never went deeper. At that...

He was still used of God and later repented of his sins. What this shows is that no matter how much initial grace is depended upon...one must still go to God...to be crucified...and receive the full measure of grace to walk as Jesus walked. I think the revival on the West Coast of the US in the...

Good question. But you ask this to a person who can't distinguish between the two. Doing so would hurt religious feelings among those who have only elevated the carnal walk to be more than it is. Amen! Very good. Thank you for your post. A rose among many thorns! :)
