You can always tell when the Christian church is in revival.
The impact of a church on fire for God is felt by those in
the faith and those without. Everyone is a recipient of God’s outpouring when
the church is yielding to God. The opposite is also true. When the church is
compromised or lukewarm the whole world suffers. And right now we are in a time
of compromise, a time of backsliding and a time of lukewarmness.
The Charismatic movement has come and is now fading. All
this left is that which man has made. No one can doubt the passion and the fervour
for the Lord, but these are man’s works and not those of the Spirit of God. The
gifts in action are natural, not spiritual; the focus on earthly things, not
heavenly and the fruit that is born is no longer of the Lord.
As each day goes by the church contributes less and influences
less for the kingdom of God. Strength is drawn from natural ability, intellect
and carnal reasoning and as a result there is little success for the body of
Christ. Instead of focusing on spiritual breakthrough, emphasis is placed on
natural changes. Instead of addressing the root cause, the symptoms become the
centre of attention. With less and less spiritual breakthrough, great effort is
placed on natural strength, natural gifts and natural solutions. This simply
makes the church poor copy of those things of this world. And those of the
times we live in, in this day.
The church is ineffective and almost irrelevant. God is
moved on and nobody has noticed. This is a good thing really, because it means
revival is coming. Yes spiritual revival is coming to the body of Christ. Praise
God.
And when God begins to move people in a new way we will see
the same breakthroughs, the same impact on society, the same healings and the
same transformations Christians have seen in revival throughout the ages. Once
again Christianity will begin to influence and shape society for good, for
excellence, for beauty, for life and abundant life.
Hopefully we will see the blindness removed and spiritual
revelation bringing back discernment to the body of Christ. These are the
things that I personally would like to see addressed by Christians under the
new revival:
1.
Exposing the fakery of modern day Israel. This
is not a nation restored by God. There has been no repentance, there has been no
acceptance of Christ, there has been no fruit of the spirit, and there has been
no restoration to the faith, not even to the laws of the Old Testament. What we
have is the Antichrist at work, and the fruits are there for all to see, if
they choose to look and see. I hope God would expose this evil once and for. Ever
since America started supporting false Israel, it has gone into steep decline. May
God open the eyes of those that lead the new revival in Christ.
2.
Exposing the fakery of jihadist Islam. Many believe
the troubles of the Middle East are caused by radical elements of Islam. The
reality is all these radical groupings have been formed, funded, trained and
directed by elements within the western governments and Israel. Who knows what
the ultimate goal of this evil is, but it is certainly not to advance Islam. Ultimately
there will be a war in the Middle East between Israel and these radical
elements. Great efforts will be made to draw Christians into this war because
the planned wall is a religious war and the goal is to destroy religion, especially
Christianity. That is the whole goal of that which has been fermented in the
Middle East at this time. Islam is just a convenient tool for this end and is
only possible because of the subservience in that faith.
3.
Exposing the fakery in western governments. Almost
every government in the Western world is a puppet government. The real power
lies with the corporations, the multinationals and the banking cartels that
fund and place politicians in positions of power. The real purpose of this is
to rob citizens of all the assets and wealth. Each year state assets are sold
off to private companies while money is spent on useless endeavours and
repaying debt to bankers. Eventually every national asset from rail to ports to
electricity to hospitals to public transport and everything in between will be
owned by private entities and the citizens pay a huge premium for every service
that should be free. The poor will suffer and the rich will grow richer and no
one will see it coming. This is the foundation of the one world government of
the Antichrist.
4.
Exposing the fakery of Christian endeavours. The
only gifts of note in the church at this time natural gifts. There is very
little healing, there is very little wisdom, there are no miracles, there is
little knowledge, few tongues but a lot of babbling, no interpretation of
tongues, hardly any spiritual discernment and prophecy is vague and almost never
comes to pass. In truth, there are few spiritual gifts at work. The emphasis of
the church has been to build natural empires, to own large properties and
assets, to exult oneself at the expense of the poor, and to emphasise the need
for money at every turn. God said, give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God
what is God’s. That is the end of the matter on money.
Hopefully the church will sell all its
natural assets and focus on its spiritual assets for the glory of God. Jesus
was given the same option; to have a natural kingdom or to forsake this and
have a spiritual kingdom. We know his choice - all that he left behind was in
the hearts and minds of humanity. There is no Jesus ministry building, there are
no natural assets and there is no gold hoard belonging to Jesus. No, there is not
one.
Revival is coming and all those that that cling to the old or
that refuse to yield to the spirit of God will be left behind just like those
churches of the past. All that is left is their glorious buildings filled with
dead men’s bones and the works of dead men’s hands.
Come revival. Come Lord Jesus. Restore your Body. Forgive
your children for hardness of heart, for compromise, for lack of discernment, for
lack of interest and stiff necked stubbornness. Wash away the old and bring the
new.
