Scriptures for revival ???

Rockrz · Mar 30, 2017

I keep hearing numerous ministries and other Christians talk about a massive end time revival where a large portion of the earth's population will be getting saved.

Does anybody have scriptures verses that speak to this?

I keep seeing verses that speak of a great falling away, some turning to doctrines of devils, the love of many growing cold, as well as the coming one world government and one world leader (anti-christ), many coming in Jesus Name deceiving many, etc, etc.... of which Jesus said when we see these things coming to look up because our redemption is near meaning it's actually good news for the faithful when these things come upon the earth.

I was just curious if anybody had some verses to share that actually say there is going to be a massive revival... or if this is just something people are praying for with no specific verses that specifically says there will be massive revival just before Jesus catches away His faithful.

I'm studying this so I look forward to receiving any verses anybody may have on this so I can see exactly where God promises and foretold this.

Nope. Just a way to ask for money.

The bible actually says in the end times there will be apostasy, not great revival.

some would see it in Rom 11.25-27

Rockrz · Mar 30, 2017

The main one I've heard is when they quote:

Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

But, that's been going on since the day of Pentecost as the Lord reaches out to all to make them aware that salvation is available unto them so they can do what started with John the Baptist... Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand.

I don't see where this speaks specifically to the last of the last days just prior to Jesus' catching away of the faithful.

I guess I could go ask this over at some of those boards where they enjoy the latter rain / dominionist teachings!

I'm sure I'd get in trouble if I did cause I'd keep asking for scriptural proof and I'd imagine they'd get irritated

Romans 11:25-27
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Still... that's been going on ever since the new birth has become available and doesn't speak specifically to the last of the last days just prior to Jesus' catching away of the faithful.

I know some see Romans 11:27 (among other similar verses) and claim it matters not how we live cause all our future sin has already been forgiven.

I always think it's funny to just say, "Cool! I'm gonna go out and get drunk and chase women tonight!" just to see how they react

There's a reason it's been going on ever since. We've been in The Last Days ever since.

There are times of big revivals, but God does that, not revivalists.

I haven't read much on that, but if I'm not mistaking somewhere I've read many will seek but few will find it. Something along those lines.

How so?

The Word of God is very clear... faith without works is dead.

James 2:14-24
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Surely we can agree that God's Word is truth, can we not?

It is very interesting that in James's examples of faith "being made alive" by a work or a corresponding action. Both Rahab and Abraham each did a one time corresponding action to demonstrate their faith.

Abraham believed God and offered up Isaac on the alter. Rahab received the spies. Both one time events in their life - God calls this faith in action.

James 2:20-25 (NASB)
[SUP]20 [/SUP] But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?

[SUP]21 [/SUP] Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

[SUP]22[/SUP]You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;

[SUP]23 [/SUP] and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.

[SUP]24 [/SUP] You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

[SUP]25 [/SUP] In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

Paul and James completely go together and do not cancel each other out.

We do the very same thing when we hear the message of Christ and we believe and then God seals us with the Holy Spirit. This is our faith with a corresponding action or a "work". Ephesians 1:13 (NASB)
[SUP]13 [/SUP] In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

Jesus said to do the work of God was to believe in the Son.

Romans 10:8-10 (NASB)
[SUP]8 [/SUP] But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

[SUP]9 [/SUP] that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

[SUP]10[/SUP]for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

This is faith with corresponding action - or a work. This is how we are saved by grace through faith just like Paul said.

It's not talking to Gentiles, that verse is to Jacob or the Jews.

That's exactly how the carnal mind of man thinks when they view the gospel of the grace of God in Christ and not understand it. It's sad really. The need to water down the gospel because of our carnal mind is not the answer.

It is however a sign that the true gospel is being preached - if people accuse others of wanting to sin all they want when they hear the gospel.

John 6:27-28 "Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

The book of Romans was written to followers of Jesus Christ... it's under the New Covenant.

Grace777x70 said:

Jesus never taught the "gospel of grace". Jesus taught the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Luke 16:16
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Jesus is our Lord, Savior, Judge... and He never mentioned anything about the "gospel of grace"

Grace is but one part of that which is taught in the New Covenant and it would not be good exegesis to take it out and try to make it a stand alone doctrine... at least not in the eyes of the Lord Jesus Christ based on what He taught which was not the Levitical law to the Jews according to what Jesus tells us in Luke 16:16

At any rate... none of this has anything to do with scriptures that specifically tell us there is going to be massive revival just before Jesus catches away His faithful.

It's in Daniel. Gods people will do exploits.

But, prophetically many scriptures are used.

David Wilkerson preached about a hidden army. Just found this on the 'net.

Rockrz · Mar 30, 2017

stonesoffire said:

Agreed. I'm doing exploits (a bold or daring feat) all the time.

So, I'm still wanting to see some promises in God's Word that specifically promise that there will be massive revival just before Jesus catches away His faithful...

Anybody got a list?

Get to know Paul and you will get revelation of the gospel of the grace of God in Christ. He received it from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Paul explains the gospel.

Without Paul's revelation from the Lord Himself explaining His gospel we would never know what happened from the cross and resurrection and that we too were included in Christ on the cross and resurrection.

It also puts an end to works-based religion of self-works and trying to save ourselves.

Acts 20:24 (NASB)
[SUP]24 [/SUP] "But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.

stonesoffire · Mar 30, 2017

The message is out of Samuel. The Lord judges the apostate church as He did with Eli and sons.

How better to judge those who deny the power of Holy Spirit, then for His remnant to rise up and show His mighty power through the body of Jesus Christ?

As I said in the previous post....through the prophetic this Word is declared.

Thy Kingdom come...thy will be done on earth....as it is in heaven.
