I'm sorry that this is unrelated, but I see that a member here referred to you as a sister in Christ, while your profile says male?

I just wanted to clarify, as this sometimes happens, and knowing the correct gender of the poster sometimes helps the reader understand a bit more of their perspective.

I apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding.
Thanks, got that sorted out, must have been one of those keyboard moments! lol

Dear , Jesus said we are not to speak blessing and cursings with the same mouth .
The Fruit of the Spirit is Love , Joy ,peace , longsuffering , meekness and self control
when we can allow the Holy Spirit to teach us what and what not to say to others ,
using self - control , patience and meekness , then it is a sign of maturity . Read the book of
Philippians , and Galatians , Remember God is a Good God , His timing is Perfect , His Grace is Sufficient
even when things dont go our way , We cannot twist the Hand of GOD to make him do something that each individual needs to
recognize alone . 3 were on the Cross , one denied one accepted and Believed ! Getting mad cause others dont see
things the way you do will only cause division . Read Proverbs 6:16 God hates it when we stir others up to anger
We are to Speak in Gods Truth in Love always . Projecting Fear in others is not of GOD 2 timothy 1:7

Take a look at a Justin Peters Clouds without water
good teaching ! he can explain the rivial thing better
Have a Blessed Day

There have been many revivals. At 77 I did not witness much of this activity from Billy Graham, rather, he had his own following. I did see him going to the White House to be received by several US Presidents. Interesting, but not convincing.

There have been many revivals over the decades. There was even a revival directly behind my home in Long Beach, Ca.

I do not see numbered revivals in the word much at all. Perhaps when Joel makes mention of the visions and dreams in the latter times. This is about as close as I find in the Word. I do see the great falling away, but that began two thousand years ago.
yea I wondered what was with the whole Billy Graham thing.
I read his 700 page autobiography, and it was mostly about him boasting how he travelled all over the world. I mean yay for you Mr Graham, but its not all about you is it.

First of all, don't take anything you see on Sid Roth at face value.

The video talks about "declaring war" and "taking back America for God." You have to understand what this really means. They're not talking about a revival that wins souls to the Lord, though they may say that. It's really a form of Dominionism in which virtually every part of American culture will come under the control of certain "Apostles" and "Prophets," including all religion. It's the main agenda of the New Apostolic Reformation right now. Keep this in mind whenever you hear people like this talking about "taking America back for God."

I don't know anything about Jessi or Parker Green. They may just be tools, or they may know exactly what they're doing, I don't know.

God isn't interested in a sweeping revival in America. His agenda is to call out a people for His name (Acts 15:14-18). That's "a" people, not all people. Beware of counterfeit revival.

Look.

I know damn well there are those of you out there who don't believe in such a thing as a REVIVAL. I'll tell you what: Those people don't even want a revival.

Those who express their sheer doubt in a revival of the Church have a mocking spirit. And I do not like it.

To me a revival is not an event that's supposed to boost one's faith, but rather a time when there are a multitude of healing, miracles and wonders, and the number of believers rise to a greater degree.

If you don't believe in this happening any time soon, that's fine. It's your right to decide what to believe. Just don't come against those that do eagerly just to mock them. Nevertheless, if you are one of those skeptics, I'd strongly encourage you to have an open mind.

Only through a revival can a "great falling away" happen. Theoretically. Think about that.

If you are one of those on fire for the Lord, have a look.


Most people don't realize that one of the greatest revivals in the history of mankind has taken place over the last 40 years. I'm speaking about the revival that's occurred in Russia. In 1917 the atheistic communists took over the country and literally outlawed all Christianity. They seized all religious properties and churches and converted them to factories and museums or they just dynamited the churches. They outlawed all religious clerics and murdered many Orthodox priests. It was illegal to teach Christianity in any form. Bibles or other religious materials were illegal. If you were a Christian in atheistic Russia, you couldn't get a job and your children couldn't go to university. The State Government of Russia was officially atheistic and intolerant of all religious activity. If you believed in God you were considered to be insane and could be committed to a Gulag or a sanatorium.

Despite the murderous/heinous persecution of Christians in Russia for 70 years, Christianity didn't die out. It was the Russian rural grandmothers who kept it alive, teaching their children and grandchildren in secret. Despite fear of neighbors ratting them out to the authorities and at great risk, common Christians held secret worship services, they secretly taught their young,, and continued their faith tradition.

Vladimir Putin's grandmother had him secretly baptized. Despite that, Putin rose through the Communist party ranks to Chief of the KGB and he was a confirmed atheist. He would later rise to his position today as President of the Communist party in Russia and has held that position for many years.

But, today, neither Putin nor Russia are atheistic in any way. They have returned to Christianity en masse and there are more professing Christians in Russia percentage wise than in any of the rich capitalistic 1st world countries. Putin is an adamant Orthodox Christian and worships at Church on a regular basis, taking part in the rites. Russia's churches are state sponsored and receive needed monetary stipends for the building and upkeep of their churches and for religious education.

Christianity is thriving in today's Russia and it's citizens love it.

Christianity is also reviving quickly in China and Africa. Those two countries are where Christianity is growing the fastest.
Sadly, in the USA, Canada, and in rich European Countries Christianity is on the decline. In my opinion we have too much in terms of wealth and materialism and feel we don't need God or what God offers, just my opinion. So, I think a revival in the rich countries of the world is a long way off.
