Admin	Why can't Revival Start? Posted : 18 Mar, 2011 05:49 PM I am told that radioactive substances such as Radon, Plutonium, and Uranium are so poisonous that a spoonful can kill a whole city; but pride and unbelief have killed every person on earth except maybe two or three. The church is so full of pride and unbelief that in virtually every service, it is served up as standard fare: public prayers are prayed for the approval of men; when a person does a thing for the Lord they tell about it for the approval of men: this inoculates them with pride and unbelief preventing revival; before doing a thing, see if Jesus did it that way: if you want a revival do all things the way Jesus did it, and do not deviate from it. How can you tell if you are doing what God is telling you to do? A person who is surrendered to God and is doing what God says is already revived; if you are not having a revival than you are not doing what God is telling you to do: every time a king who did what God said, and got the people to do what God said, they had a revival; but if only the king obeyed the Lord it said, yet the people did corruptly. The American churches as a whole are not having revival; because they are not doing what God is telling them to do: as soon as a person or people who separates themselves from the world (which God hates); quits trying to get God to move on his own terms: and just surrenders, and commits to do what God says, they will have revival.

destinyofpurpose View Profile History	Why can't Revival Start? Posted : 21 Mar, 2011 04:24 PM I believe the main reason for the lack of revival is simple. The lack of prayer and holiness in our lives. We seem to think it�s ok to have sin in our lives - God will forgive right? People seem to think that it�s ok not to spend time in prayer with the God who died for them. This is the reason He died. The truth is, when we accepted Christ, old things have passed away and all things have become new. We must come to the point where we live what we believe. Actually we do. We can tell what people really believe by what they do. We can�t live a life of faith and forgiveness, unless we live a life in communion with the God who makes that possible. Yes we will all fall from time to time but we will not have a habit of sin. Our lives will continually be transforming into the image or Christ. God tells us He wants and is suppose do be first, above all. We can see if God is first in peoples lives simply by watching. People can say anything, what they do, how they interact, what priorities they have, this shows fruit - Good or bad. You never really know a person until you spend time with them, spend time talking to people that know them. When we spend time with God we will know Him and receive from Him. When He comes back He will not say depart from me for I never Knew you. This stuff is soooo important, We can�t help others until we know how and what to do. The only way to know that, is from the one who knows all - Father God. Jesus himself said I do nothing except what the Father shows me, How much more do we? The awesome thing is this, we can repent. We can change by the power of Christ. All we have to do is do� The bible says, show me your faith without works and I will show you my faith by my works. Lets honor God, honor what He�s done for us and spend time with Him, alone. Then the revival will start as we are revived. God�s word also says - If my people will turn from there wicked ways, repent and pray. I will Here from heaven and forgive there sin and heal there land. He�s speaking to His people, us, not the ungodly but those who are suppose to be godly. We can turn the world upside down if we follow Christ, or should I say let Him live in us. Be Blessed�..
