Where Revival Lives

I hear everyone Prophesying and calling for Revival, But still there is no Revival, Why do you think that is ?? The reason there’s No Revival is pretty simple. We have forgotten what Revival is today.

Revival is a Feeling of Hope, a Feeling of Comfort, a Feeling of Purpose and Power, Gods Power around and Within us.

When we first came to know Jesus, We were on FIRE. We had the FIRE of God BLAZING within us, But somewhere along the way, That Blazing FIRE turned into heap of ashes and embers left over from the Blazing Fire that was there once.

The real question is, where did the Fire Go ?

The fire started dieing down every time someone told you something Negative about your salvation and Gods power. Something like, Your to bold, You talk about God to much, You need to calm down and chill out, Your not acting like your self anymore ETC. This could have come from Family, Friends, Pastors, Teachers, Coworkers ETC.

When others plant Negative seeds in us, They are doing what James 3:8 says (But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.) This deadly poison has dumped Buckets of Water on your Holy Spirit Fire.

Church can dampen your fire too, Oh Yes Friend, Make no mistake about it, If your in a Spiritually Dead Church the death will rub off on you, You will follow them right to their Grave by Conforming to their spiritually dead ways. Many of you reading this article may be in this situation right now. If you cant see Life In It, Then the Church and the people in it are DEAD !!! So Give them Some CPR !! Just like they rubbed off on you, You can rub off on them, It works Both Ways.

What is the Evidence and Life we are looking for ?? It’s the Fruit of the Spirit the Apostle Paul talks about

In Galatians 5. Paul says there are 9 Fruits of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: See Galatians 5:22-23

Here is the Definition of the 9 Fruits.

(1) Love is: The condition of being closely tied to another by affection or faith: A deep, tender, feeling of affection toward a person, the expression of one's affection: To like or enjoy enthusiastically, often excessively: PASSION !!

(2) Joy is: An Intense and especially ecstatic or exultant happiness. The expression or manifestation of such feeling. A feeling of extreme gratification aroused by something good or desired: A condition of supreme well-being and good spirits: To feel or take joy or pleasure: ( do you feel and take great pleasure in the Lord? Can others see your Great Pleasure ??)

(3) Peace is: Inner contentment; calm serenity and peace of mind: Freedom from quarrels and disagreement: Lack of emotional agitation:

(4) longsuffering: Patiently enduring wrongs or difficulties: Patient endurance: Enduring or capable of enduring hardship or inconvenience without complaint:

(5) gentleness: Considerate or kindly in disposition; Not easy to the anger or agitate: Free from severity or violence: Of a kindly, considerate character:

(6) goodness: The quality or state of being morally sound: The beneficial or nutritious part. ( Are we beneficial to others ?? do we offer anything nutritious to others spirits ?? In other words, Spiritual Water for their spiritual gardens. )

(7) Faith: Absolute certainty in the trustworthiness of another: Mental acceptance of the truth or actuality of something:

(8) Meekness: Lack of vanity or self-importance: humbleness, humility, lowliness, modesty.

(9) Temperance: Avoidance of extremes of opinion, feeling, or personal conduct: Moderation and self-restraint, as in behavior or expression:

Then he goes on to say, (And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.) See Galatians 5:24-26

In Ephesians 5 Paul says, ( Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you."

.

WAKE UP, and Smell the Brimstone around you. WAKE UP, and Remind yourself what Jesus did for you, WAKE UP, and Recall every miracle in your life, WAKE UP, and remember the answered prayers you prayed, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, and Tell someone about Jesus.

We want something we Already Have, We want More of what were not using already, We want More, More, More, when were not using what we Have !!!!

Jesus told the Parable of the Ten Talents in Matthew 25:14-30, Two Servants did well, They USED the Talents the Master gave them and The Master said; ( 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' )

But one servant was Scared, and Did Nothing with the Talent he had been given, and the Master said; ( 'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' ) Maybe that sounds like familiar ??? What have we done with what God has Given us, Have you got a Testimony ?? Start Sharing it, Have you got the Spirit Burning within you, Start Sharing it, And He will Give You MORE !!!

This is not Negotiable Friends, Just look at the servant who did nothing with what he was given, He tried to explain why he did nothing, But look what the Master said right after his explanation and excuse.

The Servants Said, ( 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.' ) ( "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.)

Is it possible that the Holy Spirit has taken away what he gave us because we haven’t used it ? Could it be that we have Quenched the Spirit ? Is that the Possible Reason there is NO Revival today ?? Because there is NO Power being Given out to Gods people for the Most part ???

If were afraid to lay hands on someone and Pray for them, in fear of what others might think, or the church might think, or because our “denomination” does not believe that way, Then we stand to Loose the Gifts God gave us. Don’t think God wont pull your gifts right out from under you, He did it to the fearful servant, What makes you any better than him ??

Spirit is Spirit, Flesh is Flesh. You want to walk in Power, Then walk in and with the Holy Spirit. In John 14 16-18 Jesus said (And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.) Start claiming and using what is Rightfully yours as a Child of God and Joint Heir with Jesus Christ.

Paul said in Galatians 4:4-9 (But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Paul was asking a question here, He wanted to know why they were back in bondage. They received Christ, They had the Fruits spoken of in the next Chapter, Galatians 5:22-23 .. They were made heirs, And after all this, They went right back to the same ole grind of every day life. Forgetting they were Know by God, Forgetting they had the Power Through the Holy Spirit to Ask, Believe and Receive. Forgetting all it took was a Mustard Seed of Faith, to Move a Mountain. Forgetting they had the HOLY SPIRIT FIRE within them, Just as we do today.

Once God gives a Gift, We don’t have to keep asking for the same Gift over and Over again. WE HAVE IT !! Its ours to Keep, IF we appreciate it and use it. But if God sees it laying around going to no use what so ever, He will tell our Brother or Sister, they can have it, IF, they will use it.

What’s a Gift got to do with Revival ? EVERYTHING !!

Its by the Gifts Given at Pentecost, that many believed. By the Evidence, The Power and The Anointing of God. That’s what were missing today, Yes there are a few with the anointing who are using it, But they are only a few, and they cant spread Revival unless others spread it too.

A Large Fire does not start as a Large Fire, It starts from a spark, Then spreads to other Dead, Dry Burnable Things, Don’t that sound like Sinners and Dead Christians ? Dry and Void of Life, No Holy Spirit Well springing up within them, Yes I am Hitting Hard with this Article, But hard Hitting is what its Going to take to Wake EVERYONE UP !!!

The Church is Not the Building, Its You and Me and Them, Its all of us, We are the hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose, legs, arms and most importantly, the Heart of Christ here on earth. A body that lays around, will get weak, Boy don’t that sound right ?? Do you feel weak and Powerless today ? Well you don’t have to be !!

Everyone is calling for Revival, Friends REVIVAL IS HERE !!! .. Revival is In You, you have the Holy Spirit of God Almighty Himself living in you, Were looking for something we Have, So Go into the Streets, Homeless camps, Hospitals, Highways and Hedges. Go Share Your Testimony, and watch Revival Break out With you and Others Around You Today !

Again, I will close and remind you how the War in Heaven was won in Revelation chapter 12. Satan and his followers were fighting God and His followers, as John explains. But then John says how they Beat them and Won That War, he said they did it with Jesus Blood, and the Word of their Testimonies.

Your testimony is telling others what God did for you, How Jesus changed your life, Healed you, Gave you food, money, cars, homes, ETC. How things just Miraculously happened, when it was simply IMPOSSIBLE. That’s the Spark friend. The Spark of the Holy Spirit of God Almighty Himself, Go Share what God has done for You, and he will Give you More that you can Share.

And That’s “Where Revival Lives” inside each and everyone of us !!

With Much Love,

Pastor Will
