You sound like you aren't part of "them."
How are you different? Because most of your posts are about what do X believe. What do you think about revival? I had a dream.
Most of us talk around God instead of talking about God. THAT is the problem.
It's much like saying "I love Johnny because he has a great car, a swimming pool, a great gaming system, plenty of room in his house to relax in, nice scenery, good eats...."
That's not loving Johnny. That's loving what we can do with Johnny. We do the same thing with God.
"I love God because of the variety of ways to follow him, his really cool eternal-vacation-plan, his understanding of how the earth will finish, his understanding of how the earth started, his understanding of Nephilim, free choice, free will, his law (for everybody else, of course), his grace (for me, of course), really cool gifts like tongues, demons, whether women should or shouldn't be pastors, walking by the spirit, which is a really cool place to go, and, as AllenW keeps telling us, what we can do to fix God."
That's not loving God. That's loving what we can do with or for God.

There will be no end-time revival.
As it is, just about everybody with their "understanding" & "discernment" are too busy being chiefs & being in the forefront.
Folks can't even discern what the others are saying, let alone the times we're in. Makes me wonder if they listen to their pastors or even go to church at all.
We're in the falling away..... just look at this forum!

What is your deal? your not listening to anything I say and then you accuse me of things that aren't true, i try to reason with you and then you keep being contradictory and even when you confronted by others for your false accusation you act as if I am hiding behind everyones protection which I am not. Regardless if Rocky and Lynn agree with me or not does not affect where I stand.
You told Rocky he didn't know what I needed so then tell me my friend what is it that i need that apparently only you have. Also please leave Rocky and Lynn out of this your quarrel is with me and I don't appreciate you treating lynn like that saying she is Jealous of you honestly I think she pities you

Me too. That's the problem. We really got to snap out of it.
Want to know what preceded the last revival so you know the signs for the next one? So does everyone else!
Nothing particularly happened that could be seen. (Many claimed it started because of prayer, but aren't we praying for God to bring about his will now? I think we've been doing that since we were babes in Christ.) Same thing for the one before that and the one before that. I've looked. The only thing I think I can get out of looking was they seem to happen about once every 70 years. They seem to. Funny thing about God -- he is never predictable. One could have started yesterday and we don't know yet. One can start in five years, ten years, etc. We just don't know.
But what we do need to know is what will the newborns need to know first, and then second, and then third. We're the older siblings. God is the Father, but older siblings need to teach younger siblings how to live.
If we're not ready, that leaves a vacuum in their training. So few were ready for the revival I came in from. And we lost so many because of that. We need to be ready for another one and we need to be ready for God anyway. There is urgency in both parts of that.
IamLearning, (another member of this site), just became a believer. What do we have to offer her to prepare her for this path? Revival is happening, even if it isn't another "great revival." And we really need to get our acts together to be ready.

I don't know if there is going to be a great move of God just before the Antichrist and the tribulation, however I tend to think that there will be. I know that Howard Pittman is not the bible but he is very straight on what he says and he says that God told him that He would shake the world one more time just before the end.
2 Thessalonians 2
The Man of Lawlessness
2 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
I think that any massive end-time revival should be looked at in light of this passage above. And this one:
Matthew 7
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Build Your House on the Rock
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
I'm always wary of any massive movement claiming they are doing great things for God. Everything has to be submitted to the authority of scripture.

Know what you're sayin' bro..... a few months for me. I don't know though whether that would be a revival or a renewing/renewal.
It's actually very clever how he does this, I know the deep hunger and the deep thirst exactly as a deer panting for water but this hunger and thirst is what makes us seek after him so intensely and he gives us his refreshment only enough to sate us enough to not starve yet we are not filled we are still hungry for more of him we still thirst for a deeper love with him and so we continue to chase him.
