"REVIVAL!"

"REVIVAL!"

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour
out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams,
your young men shall see visions."
(Joel 2:28)



It's REVIVAL in February!  Where?  In Austin, for sure; at the PromiseLand Church; through the Live Streaming for sure; and the fire is spreading to other Churches, other Nations, other kindreds, other tongues, and all around the world.  "What's happening?" you ask.  It's simple; somebody prayed, somebody fasted, somebody bowed low to climb high, somebody moved HIM!  Moved Who?  Our Almighty God!  When God is moved, things happen, Spirit falls, people are stirred, winds blow, dreams come, visions are seen, angels appear, chains are broken, the bound are loosed, tongues speak, hearts are changed, souls are revived  ...  It's called "REVIVAL!"

"And the glory of the LORD will be revealed,
and all mankind together will see it.  For the
mouth of the LORD has spoken."
(Isaiah 40:5)


Barnes' notes on the Bible says it like this: "And the glory of the Lord - The phrase here means evidently the majesty, power or honor of Yahweh.  He would display his power, and show himself to be a covenant-keeping God, by delivering his people from their bondage, and reconducting them to their own land.  This glory and faithfulness would be shown in his delivering them from their captivity in Babylon; and it would be still more illustriously shown in his sending the Messiah to accomplish the deliverance of his people in later days."  

Hallelujah!  I said, "Hallelujah!"  The Messiah has come!  The Lord Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived, died upon a rugged splintered cross, and rose the third day  ...  He's Alive!  And, we know it, because we feel His Spirit in our hands, in our feet, in our souls day by day.  People all over the world know it, 580 million of them and it's growing minute by minute.  Why?  REVIVAL!  It's happening here, there, everywhere.  Why?  It's "all flesh" time; there's a rustling in the treetops; the ground trembles and moves at the anticipation of His coming; even the animals are restless; lots of people are looking up; the Lord God's Church is exploding with power and Spirit  ...  Why?  "In earth as it is in heaven." 

The word "Revival" means in one definition: a New Production!  Earth is in the middle of a "New Production."  Heaven is coming down, spirits are reaching up, angels are descending, hearts are rising, 'reign'  is falling, glory is emanating, power is flowing, tongues are erupting  ...  REVIVAL!

"The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory."
(Psalm 97:6)

Get in it, or get run over!  The magnificent fire of the Holy Ghost is a consuming element; it falls upon whosoever will receive it.  All it takes is a hungry heart, a sincere humbled repentant soul, a desperate human  ...  someone who is ready to give it up, ready to let the Lord fight the battles, ready to feel forgiven, sanctified, innocent, delivered, and "revived."  It's Yours  ...  for the asking  ...



The price is being paid by many; the altar is drenched with tears and ready for the fire; the voices are sounding their calls as a trumpet; humanity is crying aloud for its Creator; the lines have been drawn in the sand  ...  The righteous will hear from their God; the hungry will be filled; the weary will be joyful; the lame shall dance; the deaf will hear; the blind shall see; the lost will be found  ... The ready will be "caught up"  ...




Ah, "REVIVAL;" what is it all about?  It's about serious sorrowful repentance; it's about the SPIRIT of the living God taking up residence in worshipful "dust;" it's about being filled with the Holy Ghost and speaking with tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance ; it's about being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins  ...  It's about water and fire  ...

We can wrap it up in one word, "REVIVAL!"

  1. Hi,

    Albert Barnes does NOT use the devil name "Yahweh" (which is the name Jupiter. Jove-pater is Jupiter and Jove is pronounced Yahweh.)

    Albert Barnes properly uses Jehovah and LORD in his book, as you can see here.

    Notes: Critical, Explanatory, and Practical on the Book of the Prophet Isaiah: With a New Translation, Volume 3 (1840)

    Now, I realize that you probably picked up this mangling from a source like Studylight, however it is extremely important that it be corrected, representing Albert Barnes properly.

    Thanks!
