Our Focus Is On Revival Prayer

Revivals run on prayer and there is no better way to learn how to pray than to pray. Revival prayers cover the present condition of the world and the church, and call for changes in the church so that it is again influential in the world as salt & light.

Revival and Other Resources

There has never been a time when we are in more need of a great and powerful life-changing revival. The church is in desperate need for a revival and the world is in desperate need for the church to have one. A true revival is the only solution to raise the Church to normal kingdom living, produce massive salvations, and determine the destiny of nations. A revival of the Kingdom is first a personal revival. It then becomes corporate. It is the sum of all individuals being touched anew that makes revivals so powerful. Then it touches and changes the world.

Nothing has become clearer to me than that revival is of God. It is something first revealed to those in need of it in order that they may begin seeking Him for it. The irony is that it was in His heart first. So our call to Him is a Spirit birthed call and the answer is prepared as is all his works which are know to Him from the beginning of the world. So we can safely say that once we begin to cry out we can have concrete faith that revival will come. And that crying out is through regular personal and corporate prayer.

If there is one outstanding feature and the primary one about a revival it is that the life of Christ in the body is manifested more and more. Even when the doctrine of the indwelling Christ is not clearly understood, his life is still expressed in the body. However, the truth should be revisited so as to bring the children of God to a desire for an ever increasing life of Christ. It is easy to live a religious life without the real power of that life. It is done all too much. Now is the time for change. We must come to say “for me to live is Christ.”

	Message Title - Filled With the Holy Spirit Message Date: 06/29/2008 Summary: God has made known the mystery of His will when times reached fulfillment that He would bring all things in heaven and earth together under one head, even Jesus Christ. Jesus is the head of the Church (His Body) which is the fullness of Him who fills all in all. These things are in the process of fulfillment. It is by the Spirit of Christ that we now live. He is the Spirit of life. If we allow Him to be our life, how will this change our behavior, our decisions, and ultimately the church?
	Message Title - Doubt Is Not Merely Unbelief, But Another Belief - Part 5 Freedom From Legalism Message Date: 06/08/2008 Summary: All religions are legalistic except Christianity. However, in spite of our confessions about faith versus works, and grace versus law, most Christians are under some law or legal system. Often they are legal systems we make for ourselves. The Law of the Spirit of Life sets us free from all laws of sin and death. We want to be a people who will disciple new believers in faith and not by works, and by grace and not law. We want ourselves to be free -- Jesus can indeed set us free.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God -- Part 36 (Revival Considerations) Two Categories of Reviving: Psa. 85.6 "People" and Hab. 3:2 "Works") Message Date: 06/01/2008 Summary: This message is meant to give us all some perspectives on revivals and some considerations on what to expect and prepare for. First and foremost are the reviving of God’s children and the reviving of God’s works. Then this teaching looks at how important it is to have a vision beyond the initial excitement of healings and miracles. We offer suggestions on how the nations can be changed and how revival is the only answer big enough to address all of mankind’s dilemmas.
	Message Title - Doubt Is Not Merely Unbelief, But Another Belief - Part 4 (Eliminating Conditions for Healing) Message Date: 05/18/2008 Summary: This message was shortened due to the way the Holy Spirit moved during the meeting on Sunday. It is on the same subject of removing the other beliefs that compete with our faith. We address the possibility that some have ended up producing methods and formulas for exercising their faith, and have moved away from "have faith in God". This is where Mark 11:22-24 begins in the teaching of Jesus on the matter of faith in our hearts. Is it possible that we are removing verse 22 from the continuation of verses 23-24? The latter verses without the 22nd may not be faith in God but rather in another system of believing.
	Message Title - Doubt Is Not Merely Unbelief, But Another Belief - Part 3 (Removing Doubt In Heart) Message Date: 05/11/2008 Summary: The ever present phrase "if it be Thy will" has been the death blow to many prayers. It sounds honorable and humble, but actually is an escape clause for those praying in case things don't come to pass. The end of this type of praying is things don't usually come to pass, and therefore a new and abhorrent theology is developed that puts God in a place of playing favorites and looking sometimes like He is doing the same thing the devil is. This teaching asks some questions about whether we get our theology from the world (with all of its devastation and destruction) and from the uninformed who can't tell the difference between the devil's work and God's, or do we get our understanding from the word of God and Jesus who said the works I do are because the Father is in Me (John 10:38).
	Message Title - Doubt Is Not Merely Unbelief, But Another Belief - Part 2 (Overcoming Doubt In Our Heart) Message Date: 05/04/2008 Summary: There are more than a few "hidden" thoughts that compete with our faith for healings. If we don't recognize that they linger in us, then when we are in those times where we need our faith, these old arguments have an opportunity to surface and make their case. Today we consider the concepts of (1) What am I to learn from this? (2) Is this to draw me closer to God (3) This sickness will keep me from sinning (4) Suffering and martyrdom make me holier (5) Sickness is my cross to bear (6) This is a thorn in the flesh like the apostle Paul's. There was a tremendous presence of God from the beginning of worship right through to the end of our Sunday meeting. His anointing was strong to bring confidence to all that we have the same Holy Spirit present in all revivals and that He longs to manifest Himself in us, around us, and through us. Revival is here!
	Message Title - Doubt Is Not Merely Unbelief, But Another Belief Message Date: 04/27/2008 Summary: In this teaching we pick up on the matter of doubt that Jesus said should not be in our hearts. What is considered here is that doubt is not necessarily unbelief, but another belief. Most Christians do believe God heals and will use His children to heal. Some hesitate at "will He heal". But the bigger hindrance for some is not that God can or will heal, but that another method has come to compete and oppose our faith. This has to do with the predominating thoughts or views of the society that we are born into. I pray this is helpful for you and eliminates the underlying thoughts that keep us from getting all that God has intended for us.
	Message Title - A Heart of Faith (Faithfulness Is Firmness) Message Date: 04/20/2008 Summary: This revival is going to bring a fresh understanding and operation of faith. The exploits of God’s children will be mighty because we will be the people who KNOW their God. In this teaching we revisit the wonderful truth of Mark 11:22-25. We see fresh the power of keeping our hearts so as to produce the right “issues of life.” We see how important it is not to miss a step in the outline Jesus gave, because nobody should ever say with their mouths what isn’t yet believed in their hearts. This is not about a positive mental attitude. Faith is way beyond that. For many who have given up on trusting God, this will be a restart. For those of us who have yet to experience real working faith, this is a new beginning.
	Message Title - The Burden of the Lord (Matthew 11:28-30) Message Date: 04/13/2008 Summary: It is one thing to have Jesus remove our burdens that we have incorrectly carried. It is another thing to take His burden. In addition, we can ask “what is His burden?” In this message we look at the most basic of interests that consume the Lord and comprise His burden. It is possible to have His burden in your life and to live with the same desires and purposes. That is another aspect of revival.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 35 (Kingdom Advance) Message Date: 03/09/2008 Summary: Matthew 11:12 gives clear truth about the Kingdom and how it is advancing. It is forceful in its reach to the future. At the same time it is assaulted by forces that would halt or slow this advance. The coming revival will be a supercharged thrust to drive the Kingdom into more of the darkness of this world. In the meantime we will face resistance like Moses and Aaron did with Pharaoh’s magicians. Counterfeit miracle courses are already on the scene to deceive the unknowing. Our determination to have a revival is like the attitude of Nehemiah who told his enemies that wanted him to come down off the wall, “I am doing a good thing.” We must see our lives and all of our covenant relationships and ministries as works God has ordained as good works. We must not come down and let the spirit of abortion cut short the value of our lives and our prayers before they have been 100% completed.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 34 (The Sun of Righteousness Will Rise With Healing In Its Wings #5) Message Date: 03/02/2008 Summary: There has never been a revival in which the fear of the Lord wasn’t present. From the time of Acts and throughout the history of revivals, holy reverence accompanied the people of God and was felt by the unbelievers. The fear of the lord is different from fears of terror and loss in the world. These always have the image of a bad outcome. The fear of the Lord is good as it separates us to God and He preserves us, Mal. 3:16-18, Mal. 4:2. This teaching includes a prophetic night vision received by Frank Hammond in 1985, a full 16 years before the attack on the Twin Towers in New York and 22 years before we in America and many around the world have begun to feel the economic “pinch”. In his vision three eagles assault America and the church. The assault represents for us today the conditions that prevail that make it right for a revival. The whole outcome depends on the church and her willingness to repent and pray. As you listen to this, please ask God for a holy fear to come upon you and for a intense desire to see the church “awakened” by a revival that is desperately needed by the church and the world.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 33 (The Sun of Righteousness Will Rise With Healing In Its Wings #4B) Message Date: 02/24/2008 Summary: This is the second part of discovering our Need for a vision of a revival. The first focused on some negatives that show how desperate the church is for a revival. This part focuses on the hunger for revival that exists in a growing number of saints. The points that are given here are not intended to be exclusive, but a fair overall representation of the things at work in those hungry for revival. Some will have more impact your life as they touch the nerve of your spirit. Those are the ones to let the Holy Spirit stimulate in you.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 32 (The Sun of Righteousness Will Rise With Healing In Its Wings #4A) Message Date: 02/17/2008 Summary: We must have a vision of the need for a revival before we can even begin to pray for one. This teaching in two parts looks at the negative and positive aspects that form this vision of the need for a revival. Just as the prophets of the old covenant revealed conditions in Israel that God wanted the nation to repent of so He could release his blessings and avert judgment, we too must see our state so repentance can flow. The stakes have never been higher for the individual the church worldwide and the nations. When recognizing the “sins” of the body, a proper attitude must accompany these discoveries. It is not judgment or criticism. No, it is sorrow and prayer for forgiveness, not just for our sins which we recognize in ourselves, but for the whole body. If during the course of these teachings we have the slightest bit of criticism surface, it too must be repented of. Again, this is the negative side of the vision. The next teaching will reveal the positive heart conditions that long for a revival and also stimulate our prayers. I add finally that this is a message for the whole church and not some segment that we think is worse than others. As I have said repeatedly, *the church is in desperate need for a revival and the world is in desperate need for the church to have one.* A true revival is the solution and the only solution to raise the church to normal kingdom living, produce massive salvations and determine the destiny of nations.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 30 (The Sun of Righteousness Will Rise With Healing In Its Wings #2) Message Date: 01/20/2008 Summary: We are in embryonic stage of a revival. It will be worldwide. The question some are asking already is what will it be like? All revivals have similarities and distinctions too. They all restore things to the church and they always renew the churches first love. That is the core value of revivals. The life they have is the life of Christ Himself. He rises in us and we live as He meant us to. If I may be so bold, there are some distinctions to the coming revival I strongly sense. They are contained in Malachi 4:2. This scripture has been lingering in my spirit for some time and I think it reveals two of the things God will restore to us. These are righteousness and healing. We are looking at how these two will manifest. They won’t be dropped out of the sky on us. They are the results of the Sun of righteousness with healing in its wings, rising in us. Our part is desiring for this to happen and to function in faith that it is. We look at the early churches ministry of healing within the body in this message.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 29 (The Sun of Righteousness Will Rise With Healing In Its Wings #1) Message Date: 01/13/2008 Summary: All revivals have some things in common. They are also distinct as each brings back to the church something that needs to be restored. This revival is no different. Several of the things being restored during this revival are righteousness and healing. But for you who revere my name, The sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Malachi 4:2. This is an introductory teaching on the topic. But included in the same scripture are three other significant points that will highlight the revival. The revival will bring back a fear of the Lord, (those who fear my name). We will experience an ever increasing presence of the Lord rising in His body, (the sun of righteousness rises in His people like the natural sun rises in the heavens). The church will experience such joy she will act like calves released from the stall. In this message we address the aspects of righteousness and healing.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 23 (Revival Knowledge of the Christ Life) Message Date: 10/28/2007 Summary: If there is one outstanding feature and the primary one about a revival it is that the life of Christ in the body is manifested more and more. Even when the doctrine of the indwelling Christ is not clearly understood, his life is still expressed in the body. However, the truth should be revisited so as to bring the children of God to a desire for an ever increasing life of Christ. It is easy to live a religious life without the real power of that life. It is done all too much. Now is the time for change. We must come to say “for me to live is Christ."
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 22 (Inroads Into The Community; Binding and Loosing) Message Date: 10/21/2007 Summary: The coming of the Lord in a revival has preparatory phases. Prayer is fundamental as an ongoing element of revival. But some attention to the Lord impacting the community is needed. We are being led by the Holy Spirit to reach out in compassion to the community by offering prayer to all who wish. Even if people don’t reply with a request for us to pray, we still do damage to the spiritual realm with our prophetic acts. This is a form of binding and loosing. We are already praying for the community to be loosed of all privacy and isolation and anything that would keep them locked up and unable to receive what God wants to give them. We are binding the powers of evil and binding into society the blessings of heaven. People can be bound with good things and not just bad. They can be loosed from evil and good can be loosed to them. It is all in the way we exert our power in prayer and other prophetic acts. This then is exercising the keys of the kingdom.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 20 (Revival Illustration) Message Date: 9/30/2007 Summary: Revival is always a return from death to life. Normally we don’t think of Job’s experiences as similar to a revival. But he did die in some ways and was resurrected into a new and better life. He lost life as he knew it, but through his perseverance and repentance, (which he didn’t know he needed to do until God showed him), gained a new and more abundant life. I am not an expert on Job. I am merely experiencing similar things. I find these experiences and the length of time they have been, do more to conform me to Christ than anything else could have. A short stint would have left me just thinking I was a man of great faith and that I could eliminate all of life’s problems and not go through them. Most of real life is experienced below the surface. That is where God does His best work. A revival is always about God doing a deep work.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 18 (Praying For The Results of Revival) Message Date: 9/16/2007 Summary: Revivals run on prayer and there is no better way to learn how to pray than to pray. Revival prayers cover the present condition of the world and the church and call for changes in the church so that it is again influential in the world as salt and light. So these prayers address a few of the things we are asking to see revived in us. In other words we are praying the results. More of these praying times for additional changes will follow as the Lord leads. We hope those of you who listen can join in agreement for us and yourselves for these changes and that a mighty revival will spread through out the church.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 15 (Advancing Revival and the Kingdom - Three Words) Message Date: 8/19/2007 Summary: Being truly revived and moving into Kingdom life requires ever increasing understanding about God’s purposes and His ways. A better knowledge of Romans 8:28-31 is necessary to finding the Lord’s purpose in all of life’s *good and bad.* What really is the meaning of good and how do we extract it from all things? In addition, we need to learn how to forget things that are behind so whatever has produced the wrong confidence in us can be dismissed. Even more important is to dismiss those events that have wounded us so badly that some cannot make any progress in their walk, always being held by the past. This is so important for all who want *to press for the prize.*
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 13 (Allowing the Holy Spirit to Bind the Strongman of Self -- continued) Message Date: 8/5/2007 Summary: In this message we share one of the widely used prayers during the Welsh Revival of 1904. This prayer along with the 4 point message of Evan Roberts was very instrumental in bringing about one of the greatest moves of God we have ever known. You will be amazed at the similarities in the prayer to the issues of today. Lastly, we point out a number of indicators regarding one being personally revived. Everything doesn’t happen all at once, even if there are some flash points that spark ones personal revival. All revivals are personal as well as corporate. It is the sum of all individuals being touched anew that makes revivals so powerful.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 12 (Allowing the Holy Spirit to Bind the Strongman of Self) Message Date: 7/29/2007 Summary: The Lord gave me Matt. 12:29 Sunday morning and said that He was going to show us a perspective of this word that He wanted the church to understand. It has to do with the Kingdom and how we struggle with a “strongman” within us. That strongman is the SELF. Self is responsible for wanting to maintain control which shows up in all manner of ways. It continues to hold to its methods, ways, and routines in an attempt to improve life. It wants to overcome the things it thinks are wrong. It works harder for fewer results, but continues to hold on to control. It can only be defeated when someone stronger comes in and binds the strongman and then establishes unity within. Self will never cast out self. That is why disappointment and discouragement remain in so many lives. But the “stronger One can reveal the inner motives and desires, secret ambitions and lusts, and above all the IMAGE we seek to maintain. All of that is dealt with by the King as we give Him rights to our secret chambers as well as the authority to deal with our recurring sins. Things are brought out into the light and darkness flees. Vulnerability is a weapon against the self life. A revival of the Kingdom is first a personal revival. It then becomes corporate. Then it touches and changes the world. The Kingdom advances. Peace reigns.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 11 (Mercy and Compassion) Message Date: 7/22/2007
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 9 (Vision For Revival of the Kingdom) Message Date: 7/8/2007 Summary: Praying and believing for Kingdom revival is surely spiritual warfare. Restoring the church to a lifestyle of the Kingdom is our goal. But it is clear that there is resistance and some of that showed up as I began my message. It was difficult to begin and it seemed that I couldn’t even focus on the scripture I wanted to start with. Many in the congregation must have been praying as I did inwardly to regain my clear direction. In a short time the resistance lifted and everything became clear and focused. Some of you may have experienced similar things and I want you to know you are not alone. Most of the church has only read of revivals of the past. None have experienced what happened in Wales at the turn of the 20^th century. The whole world was impacted by it through the presence of the Holy Spirit who literally changed the atmosphere of cities, regions and nations. The affairs of men changed and social and political changes were dramatic. Revivals are the cure of all ills in the world. They do in short time what methods and programs could never accomplish over sustained effort. Revivals are supernatural. This teaching looks at the first church with its Pentecostal experience and how that played out to alter the world forever. The whole of the move was supernatural, spontaneous, involved angels, dreams, visions, trances, miracles, healings, signs and wonders along with the ongoing guidance of the Holy Spirit who selected people, places and actions to extend the Kingdom. I extracted some of the events and just listed them and concluded with a summary of distinguishing conditions that made for the continuing expansion of the Kingdom. We look at the Book of Acts (of the apostles) which should be renamed acts of the Holy Spirit in the Body of Christ since these acts included the acts of everyday believers. May this stimulate your hearts to seek what the Lord himself wants us to seek, as He is the author of revivals.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 8 (Revival) Message Date: 7/1/2007 Summary: Nothing has become clearer to me than that revival is of God. It is something first revealed to those in need of it in order that they may begin seeking Him for it. The irony is that it was in His heart first. So our call to Him is a Spirit birthed call and the answer is prepared as is all his works which are know to Him from the beginning of the world. So we can safely say that once we begin to cry out we can have concrete faith that revival will come. This message looks at some of the conditions that the Holy Spirit uses to stimulate our hearts to seek revival. As you listen, may the Holy Spirit birth a revival heart in you and cause you to join us in prayer for the coming revival.
	Message Title - Power and the Kingdom of God - Part 7 (Reverential Fear of the Lord) Message Date: 6/24/2007 Summary: When holy fear comes to the body of Christ it is associated with the power of God. Often the displays of power, healings and miracles create an atmosphere of awe and reverence. Such an environment is conducive to salvations as the Holy Spirit is so prominent and manifestly present. The time we are in is one of pending revival. A revival is really the restoration of authentic Kingdom life. This is our goal. We want an authentic on going life style that is full of life, holiness and the power of God to change the conditions of the world. As the church goes, so goes the world and not the other way around. The early church walked in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Ghost and the church grew in numbers. Let’s begin to believe for the power of the Holy Spirit and the fear of God to be a major part of the coming revival that will reshape society as the body becomes more and more the expression of the Kingdom of God.
