    What is Revival?

    You mean claiming to be more spiritual with self-gratifying and self-justifying questions like this???

    What is Revival?

    Do you have anything to confess? I never said she did. This isn't personal. Did you think I was talking about you? She said that for previous condemnations of Catholics, and any who do not hold to her very strict view of beliefs that she upholds to be the highest form. My point is that we...

    What is Revival?

    In your religious mind, you assume that your ideas of any of the words you have spoken are understood in the same way as they are formulated in the bible. How do you define "unrepentant'? Does that mean resisting hypocritical religious dogmas? How do you define "condemned"? Does that mean...

    Are you asking for a friend or yourself?

    What is Revival?

    A revival does many things. It calls sinners to repentance. But to those who have believed the gospel (to some degree) already it is a call to come out from hiding behind religious walls ...and slogans...as we see so MUCH on this thread. Even if you were to stack John 3:16 t-shirts, posters and...

    What is Revival?

    You are twisting the bible to support your own ways... You have a condemning attitude that is NOT of the Lord. You are indeed judgmental...as this is necessary to justify your claims...to your justification. And a culprit is needed for that. Just look at all the posers here that agree with you...

    St. Vital! I know people there....just to the south of St. B. I Agree with your assessment.

    What is Revival?

    Read where Zion (New Jerusalem) comes down from. All who are born again are born there (Zion, New Jerusalem). All who walk in the Spirit walk there....in eternal reality and in an eternal consciousness. That's where the fellowship of both the Father and the Son are found.

    What is Revival?

    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...

    What is Revival?

    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.

    What is Revival?

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

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    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.

    What is Revival?

    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...

    What is Revival?

    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...

    What is Revival?

    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...

    What is Revival?

    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...

    What is Revival?

    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...

    What is Revival?

    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...

    What is Revival?

    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...
