Revival Part 4

A friend of mine was talking the other day. She was marveled that they had bought a new car and it was radio controlled off of a key fob. Meaning that she could walk up to the car and open a locked door as long as the key was on her person. She would go to the trunk and knock on the window to tell her husband to pop the trunk, and as she did she would remember that she had the key in her purse and didn’t need him to. She had access to what ever she wanted in the car because of what she had in her purse. When she said this I heard a “DING” go off in my head.

I have access to what I need because of what I have inside! I have access to the glory because of Christ in me; I need to learn on how to put a demand on it in my worship.

Acts 5:14–15 (ESV)

14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

I heard it said this way; the repercussion of Peter spending time in the presence of God, because of His covenant with Christ, people were healed. We must not get stuck on the sign of healing though. It is just that a sign, and a sign by definition is something that points or directs attention to something bigger than itself.

Am I the kindling point for that powerful deep presence of God? If I am REVIVAL then why am I waiting for others to lead me into the presence when I have access to what I need all ready because of what I have inside? Can I hunger after that presence of God so deeply that there is freedom in all that I do?

Being involved in a meeting or a service where God is moving, and you are touched deep in your spirit; awakened in some sense of your spirit. If it is soaking in it or dancing around the room; feeling the healing power mend your body to rolling on the floor in a freedom of joy laughing uncontrollably or having the look of being drunk. We must understand that this is the power of God’s presence and in the same breath we must realize some points too.

1. We must be restored; God wants you to be happy. The joy of the Lord is your strength. God said that and if you don’t agree, take it up with Him.
2. To feel His presence touch you so deeply is done for 1 reason first. It is an invitation to change your life. For in this is His love for you, and in this you will find your freedom.
3. You have to realize that you have access to this because of your covenant with Christ.
4. Signs and wonders will follow the closer you get to His glory

Mark 16:17 (NKJV)

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

So will this revival be like the Azusa street revival? Will this revival be like the Brownsville Florida revival? I would hope not, for that season is over. Our God is the same yesterday, today and forever; and even in this He knows that His movement on the earth is never the same and yet it is always the same.

He loves us all and some of us, as always, don’t receive this love; so yes the earth is always the same in this manner. But God is a God of LOVE.

So what are the keys to this new revival? The key is always the same: HUNGER.

What do I see as keys to a movement of God in such a way that we will call it “REVIVAL”?

1. Prayer and fasting (notice this is not pray and fast, but plural)
2. Worship, in a deeper sense than ever seen, felt or played before. If you don’t understand this new music, you havenet listened to it you have only heard it
3. Hunger for more. There is a drive for more of God that is coming; it is not a youth movement but a hunger movement. Don’t be left behind on this

I leave you with these 2 points:

1. God has shown a vision to multiple (hundreds) of people regarding a damn. The damn being as sizable as Hover damn, and behind it is a reservoir of God’s presence; and the damn is cracking!
2. Something always happens when His people seek His face

Ps 27:8 (NKJV)

When You said, “Seek My face,”

My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
