REVIVAL OF REPENTANCE HAS BEGUN!

R
RobertW Feb 25, 2004

Along with a personal revival of repentance, our church rebaptized or baptized for the first time 28 people out of our roughly 150 in the period of one week! This is NOT a "revival" of flakiness. People are not falling backwards- but forwards under the mighty weight of their sins. Some have come to the altar without a prompting! People are going into their homes and cleaning house! They are trashing ALL appearance of evil. I felt personally the need to run an ad in the KC Star as a public repentance and confession of my own sin and sins of the heart! We have embarassed God and His Son and the time to put up is NOW! Ministers your church will only repent as much as YOU do. THE LEVEL OF REVIVAL WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE DEPTH OF REPENTANCE! This all took place in Kansas City. There were two rough looking men preaching repentance with megaphones in the intersection of a heavily congested area by my house!There is an URGENCY, but friends, you have GOT TO GET OUT FROM IN FRONT OF THE TV SETS and allow the cryptonite of this world to wear OFF of you! Burn some of the sermons highlighted on this site onto a CD and learn how to preach once again! CLEAN UP your own life and go back into your churches and pulpits with clean hands and a pure heart. Repent of this message of humanism that has all but destroyed our churches! Preach the Gospel as strait as JESUS and the disciples did. How can we have healthy BORN AGAIN converts when the "DNA Code" (the scriptures) has been altered or parts left out! For God's sake and the sake of your own soul forsake the mammon and pornography before your reprobate! These two things have caused the dunimas of God to be ALL BUT LOST! Your dead (if your involved) and so will be YOUR CONGREGATION. I have no idea what you all plan to do--- but I'm on my way to the Streets where the harvest field is. I'm going to do my part to repair this threshing machine that is BROKEN! The churches are empty and filled with chaff at the same time! Let us rise up and clean up and take to the fields before the harvest passes and they are none saved!God Bless and Much Brotherly Love,Robert WurtzIndependence, MO

This all took place in Kansas City. There were two rough looking men preaching repentance with megaphones in the intersection of a heavily congested area by my house!Could this be Andrew Strom out there? He is the Revival preacher who just moved from New Zealand to Kansas City for this purpose- to bring Revival to America.In Him, Chanin

It's amazing you mention him. God by an act of sovereignty caused me to pull up his Thundering in Nashville a few days before he moved here! I didn't know this man of God from Adam (literally). The day before he left I saw his address in the part of town I grew up as a teen. I went to his house the day he was to arrive. Friends this was a page strait out of the book of Acts! I met him for the first time few days later. He and his family of 6 children just packed up and moved here! I have met with him now two times to talk revival and believe me he is good to go and is working on a venue to teach the meaning of TRUE REVIVAL. Not a counterfeit revival; but a Finney, Wesley, John the Baptist style revival. Think of the odds of this... this man was from New Zealand preaching in nashville about KC and I heard this message in confirmation to what God was already doing. Friends... GOD IS ON THE MOVE! The Church is coming out of its slumber!!It was NOT Andrew on the corner... it was two Mexican men who looked like they lived a HARD life. Too intimidating to try to quiet... the people just tried to roll up their windows. THE Night is FAR SPENT and the TIME IS AT HAND. PREACH REPENTANCE and PREACH IT STRAIT. -Robert

If you haven't heard listen to this message:Thundering In NashvilleWe do need another Finney, Wesley type of revival, we need a true heaven-sent revival that changes peoples hearts not minds or emotions only. I am anxious to hear what else Andrew Strom is doing and what is going to come out of this. keep us posted brother Robert. Also I would love to know more about yourself, your church, ministry, etc..

A little about myself... I am a 34 year old Classical Pentecostal Youth Pastor, Adult Sunday School Teacher, Shut in Minister, and dad of 6 who went through the "mini revival" of the early 90's. It helped get me where I am; but it kind of lost focus and bent too heavily on weird manifestations. God honored a lot of the things that happened because I was so "green." There was not a strong emphasis on evangelism and soon that "FIRE" went out. People liked the "feel good" but they didn't use that anointed zeal to do the Lord's work-- they often just "shouted it off." I suppose I was born in that fire, so far be it from me to be critical; but the message of repentance was not there as STRONG as it should have been- it was mostly EXPERIENCE based. I have been Pentecostal all my life and would bleed Pentecost if you cut me. My pastor is a great man of God who still believes in walking in the "old path."God is calling me to do my part to stem the tide of the madness of the modern Church Growth Philosophy- that takes down crosses, ignores sin, and keeps any "negative" feelings at bay. God gave me a message on this issue that kills this lie whenever it finds it! It is a rendition of Charles Finney's message "God cannot please sinners." It is so practical that it almost can't be gainsayed or resisted. If I can get it uploaded it is titled "Rat Poison." It is a little rough in places due to some crude editing in a few spots; but it is the message not the production thats important.God has used many things to get me here and some of them were in fact Andrew Strom's message and writings. I love this site and hope to be more of a part of it as God ushers in the long overdue revival we have sought God for; but He is sending by His grace and mercy. REMEMBER HOSEA 5:15 "I WILL GO AND RETURN TO MY PLACE UNTIL THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR OFFENCE, AND SEEK MY FACE: IN THEIR AFFLICTION WILL THEY SEEK ME EARLY." The channel of repentance must be dug deep in which to sow a lasting seed-- we have allowed them to fall by the wayside and in hardened places for far too long.God Bless and Much Brotherly Love,-Robert

Good night and welcome!!Welcome Robert!Praise God how wonderful to have you here.The only true way to respond to all of this is...My heart and spirit say AMEN!Looking forward to hearing more from you here and with anticipation the message you mentioned.You are certainly right at home with like hearted believers here. it was two Mexican men who looked like they lived a HARD life. Too intimidating to try to quiet... the people just tried to roll up their windows.I love that...wonder what a case of megaphones runs?Praise God

This is not the first time I have heard of this in KC. it happened on the Kansas side in an upscale area right after 9-11. Kansas City was named by its founders as "The Prophetic City" or the Prophetic City at the mouth of the KAW river. (Key words "Kansas City" and "Prophetic" will get you there).Mega Phones... generators with sound equipment. I have been in street services before and played a dead man in a real CASKET! We had a hearst and all! This was some years ago when the last "mini revival" hit. Rev. John Birmingham was preaching. He is notorious in this city for burning abominal books from our school libraries! I feel it coming on again and SOON!God Bless,-Robert

When I think of sending in laborers I think of Joel 2:28-29...In the last days I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days (NIV). This is a key verse along with Hosea 5:15... I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early (KJV). Dear brothers and sisters: how long will Pastors, Deacons, Evangelists, Teachers, etc. continue to DENY their sins before God? GOD WILL NOT BE BACK until they acknowledge their offence. Yet they say, wherein have we offended God? Paul said in I Corinthians 4:19... But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. Think of this... Paul said he would not be listening to the words, but he would know the power (dunamis). In other words... if we don't find the dunamis present, there is a serious problem. That is why peoples faith does not stand today... it it trying to stand in the wisdom of men BUT WILL ONLY stand in the dunamis of God. This is not some superficial "pie in the sky" concept; it was a reality in the early church. Unlearned men and women would share the Gospel and people would be miraculously saved. Friends, we are the STEWARDS OF THE DUNAMIS. If we live in such a way that we must lean upon our own wisdom to win disciples to Christ we will fail and have failed. Paul essentially said to the Church at Corinth... I'm coming by soon to check your power... (think about that... Paul was saying in effect) "I'm coming over to see if that power I am so familiar with is present. If it is not present then I will know (in effect) that their is some serious sin or compromise in the camp." We can't continue to preach dead sermons and teach dead lessons. Beloved, we will have revival in America as SOON as REPENTANCE begins with God's ministers... the Stewards of the Dunamis and the Promises... but not in WORD or in TONGUE, but in DEED and in TRUTH. I beseech you friends, to get rid of ALL the "KRYPTONITE" in your life that is draining your Spiritual power and zeal. Stop regarding iniquity in your heart (if so be you are)and God will hear your prayers for REVIVAL. We must obstain ALL appearance of evil and TOUCH NOT the lewd and demonic (UNCLEAN in KJV; lit. lewd and demonic in Greek). Then and only then will we have wide spread revival. Sacrifice? YOU BET! Worth it? I answer with the notorious quote from Paris Reidhead "Let the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering." You were bought with a price... you are not your own. Let us follow Him out of the camp bearing His reproach... for here we have no continuing dwelling place (Hebrews 13:14). God Bless and Much Brotherly Love,-Robert WurtzIndependence, MO

God is still doing a mighty work in our midst. Our pastor preached on the blood of Christ and we took communion in the morning. I had opened the morning teaching on a lesson titles "Salvation that Saves." I talked about counting the cost and the initial evidence of a born again experience. In the evening service we had a teenage minister speaking and he spoke on preparing ourselves for church service. It was a tremendous word. He spoke of the importance of knowing that God knows our thoughts... ALL of them. How many come to church unprepared for a move of God and then expect God to move them. He also talked about how the knowledge of God drains from our vessels as a result of such careless behavior towards God. God began to move and 6 people came to the Lord and desired baptism in water. That was a real miracle that we thank God for. God is raising up a generation of youth that will clean up a lot of the mess we are in... as the body of Christ. Youth who have not yet been schooled in the "proper" ways that make the Gospel of Christ of none effect. They read the word and preach what they read- because they don't know any different. They believe everyone should do it that way. Things that time and sin seems to steal from us..., yet they have not been conditioned to this yet. Praise God for them! I'll keep you posted as to what God is doing. God Bless and much Brotherly Love, -Robert

It is very interesting that you mention Kryptonite two times. I had a dream a few months ago about the sin of the world (America) and Kryptonite was specifically in it! I will post it here and if you have any more insights- please let me know.[It started out with me and a young girl in a car( I don't think it is my 4 yr.old daughter). I had left the driver's seat and gotten in the back of the car with her and the whole back of the car kept getting frozen- a complete layer of thick ice all over the inside of the back. I thought we might even suffocate. (I’m still not sure what this frozen part means).I had left the drivers door open a bit and when I wasn’t looking someone came into the car and proceeded to hijack us to their desired destination. (*the door was left open and I wasn’t watching carefully). We reach this place and it is like a city or almost another world to me. It seems almost like a cartoon place. The first thing I notice is the “happy confusion”. Everyone is busy doing what they want to do to make them happy, but it is all in confusion. We walk into a building that has a prescription counter window. The man there (slick black hair, thin black mustache) says he is in charge of all of the drugs, medications, etc… and it was all on “one floor”. Right then I knew that a lot of the people in this “world” were on these medications and drugs and HE WAS IN CONTROL OF THIS! The highjacker/kidnapper was interested to know this (that it was all in one place) since he/she was wanting to break in and steal some. Next, we walk outside and there is still confusion and a lot going on outside. I am getting pelted by someone with little rubber Nike symbols hitting my arm. (the Nike symbols represent materialism to me in this dream because I had just gone shopping for my daughter and bought some Nike clothing, I really restrained myself from buying more than I did, but I also knew I didn’t need to spend the money to buy designer clothes for a four year old.) so I was getting hit with things representing materialism and these things were flying through the air at people. Next, I am watching a man, who kind of looks like a scientist and he is making his favorite food. Something that looks like it’s made out of sugar and turns into these white round balls. I know in the dream that this is all he eats and he feels that he “needs” to eat this, almost like he is addicted to it. Later in the dream he is making his last one and he is saying that the stuff is all gone. He won’t be able to make anymore. Now in the dream I am definitely getting the impression that everyone is doing what they want and a lot are addicted to medications, drugs, food, materialism, and having a good time! At one point, in a big open hotel type place, people are openly having sexual encounters, with their clothes on. All of these things are going on and it is strange because it is not dark. It’s LIGHT. Everything seems very accepted and I get the feeling that the people know that it is coming to an end soon. The medications are running out, the drugs are running out, the money is running out, the sugar is running out and So they go at it with all the more fervancy. It’s like they want to “go out with a bang.” They know the end is coming and they are totally ignoring it and immersing themselves all the more in “THINGS”! This next part is very strange and I have yet to figure out the full meaning. There is a short young man, dark complected, maybe Mexican or Spanish? Foreign I think. His shirt was off and he had a boat that he was getting ready to leave this place. In the front of the boat, under a tarp, he had “kryptonite”(?)(krypton in Greek: “hidden”) It glowed green and no one knew he had it. If they did, they would have rushed to get the kryptonite. It was like a power of some sort and I think it made the “things” run there. I knew when he left that the people would be out of all of their things and the power of them. He was by an indoor swimming pool that led out to the ocean. He bent down to the pool where one of his girlfriends (she was from China or Japan) was in the water. When he bent close to say goodbye to her she chomped her teeth at him three or four times. “She bites”, is what I said to myself. I knew that this is one of the reasons he liked her. She was playful about this with him- but this was so very weird! He got into the water and went under with her to say something that he didn’t want anyone to know. He said “It’s Time!” I knew that he was leaving that place with that power and that she was to stay there and “bite” (gnashing of teeth) And I also knew that there would be either destruction or depression or something like this.]In Him, Chanin

RobertW Mar 5, 2004

I'm Sorry Chanin, I just saw your post today. I will enquire of the Lord as to the full meaning. You should do likewise and God will show you the interpretation. It was no accident that you mentioned this to me; know that of a truth. Kryptonite is deadly to "Superman" and so too the spirit of Antichrist feeds the hunger of those who walk after the coarse of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience; but it is deadly to the Children of God. Those who hunger and thirst after this "kryptonite" are the damned and those who hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled- as their "meat" is to KNOW and then DO the will of God that sent us. Their (impenitent sinners) meat is to partake of that spirit of antichrist and then act out what they see to some measure.The greatest obstacle to Revival is people who really want revival but refuse to take that stone of kryptonite out of their pocket. Some questions:Was the car moving and if so what direction? This is very significant. Some initial observations:The people stagger but not with wine... they are drunk but not with strong drink. Much of the Church's role has turned into a Circus or Carnival. Why? The people are drunk on porn, materialism, drugs (pharmakea), and refuse to REPENT. Because of it the Church has no power and is resorting to more carnival and circus behavior to get the people in. God have mercy and grant your people repentance from the kryptonites that are under the covers of so many a Christian.We'll converse more.God Bless and Best Regards in Christ,

Robert,I do not recall the direction, and I barely recall moving in the car. I just know that we were in one place - then at the hijacker's destination.In the end of the dream, when the man said "it's time"- I know this means something specific.Thank you for your input, Robert.This is from my journal the next day.May 17 2002 “I desire for My people a humble heart. Are you seeking My kingdom first? Or are you seeking for your own kingdom first? What do you want? Ask yourself what do you want? Yes, list them right now….. Are these things of My kingdom? Most of My people still want for themselves. They want what they want. They take what they will with no thought to Me. So many are running their own lives and “stopping in for church service” or a bible study here and there. Why am I not King of your hearts and lives? I am grieved at My people for they forsake Me. They forsake that I am SOVEREIGN, they forsake that I am ALL MIGHTY, they forsake the very love and protection I wish to provide- because of their own wants and wishes. Take Me with you into that secret place. Ask Me what you will. I am available to guide and direct you in every area of your life. No one wants to know My will for every area of their life because THEY still want to control it. They think to themselves, “What if He says “No” or “Yes”- not in accordance with what they want. I ask you again and again to lay these things down. I bring things to the surface for you to get rid of – and you PUSH THEM BACK DOWN and KEEP THEM INSTEAD. The time is coming and the time is here for many- that I am giving people over to their own sin. They do not recognize it any more- they are blinded and are dying in their own filth. Wake up! Shake the dust off. Rise up and heed My Word. The devil is playing games with you. Do not be blinded anymore by his lies and deceit. Is it a lie that if you give up this or that – that you will be unhappy? YES! He has you so stuck in the grasp of materialism, delusion, lewdness, drugs, gluttony and all manner of addictive things. Things to make you feel better temporarily. He has you on a treadmill of these things and you find it hard to get off that treadmill. And he is laughing all the while because most of it is your own flesh. Get out of “this world”. Make your home with Me. Dwell where I dwell, walk where I walk. One day many of these “things” that you cannot live without, may not be completely available and then where will you be? You will call on Me to comfort you and I will not because you waited until there was none to be had. I am jealous for My people and for their love and adoration.” In His service, Chanin

The last portion of your dream I understand, but it was not for you. You are merely the messenger. It could have a meaning to you in a "logos" sense... but is has a "rhema" meaning to me. I will await God performing this thing... for of a truth it is prophetic. I must ask: "who hath known the mind of the LORD and who hath been His counsellor?" My friend His ways are past finding out... God bless you for obeying God in this matter.Some practical observations:THIS MAY BE FOR YOU OR ALL WHO HEAR- I know not; I only see the message:When the car is not moving it is an indication of lukewarmness. When you get lukewarn the enemy will hijack your life and lead you into the wilderness of this world of sin. The people who "grow cold" the most are your children as they are torn between life "a" or life "b" and the instability makes them cold. If a person is lukewarm their children will naturally be cold apart from divine intervention. STAY full of the Holy Ghost as it leaves you in the drivers seat driving north on the strait and narrow way. The people are trying to get as much sin in as possible before either judgment or revival hits (God knoweth). The man making the food can only be fulfilled by his sin so long before he must try something stronger (this is a practical observation). The KRYPTONITE is the reason why we don't have revival. it is the "Hidden" things that the saints say in their heart "the Lord seeth us not." Will it be judgment or revival? ANSWER: depends on what you did with your secret sins.God Bless and much Brotherly Love in Christ,-Robert

This is exactly the message that i have been trying to bring people, especially the ones who are on my email/subscription list. Other dreams like this one, I took at first to be for me but i knew that I am constantly letting the Lord purge me and my heart. So, then I realized that I represented the Church. Like in my Ezekiel 16 dream.In my heart I feel that judgement is coming. I have felt this for a long time. You can say this to people though- they will hate you or toss you aside as crazy.In His service, chanin

Dear Chanin,I spoke last night to about 120-150 leaders, adults, and youth and used a section of your inspired of God journal entry anonymously as it fit into my exhortation titled "Kryptonite." In hearing your heart cry to tell all you knew- I felt the liberty to share it and God mightily used it. God moved in a mighty way in that service. I spoke the exhortation before Andrew Strom and God used him to bring repentance at a level never before heard of in my lifetime. No less than half and possibly 3/4 of the people in the crowd stood in repentance. Praise the Lord! Many who were not standing had already sorely repented in the previous move of God! God was moving in an awesome way! People were confessing their secret sin and repenting in strong crying and tears. Dear God let this fire spread to the four corners of the globe! Send us 7000 servants to preach in Kansas City, MO alone.God Bless and Praise God for your Obedience!,-Robert Wurtz

Robert,I am blessed that the Lord could use the thoughts which He impressed on my heart for His glory.I have many more where that came from! My website is under construction right now but usually most of the important journal entrys are posted on a page titled "Lord's Journal". Many are exhortations like that one.It should be back to normal sometime tomorrow.May the Lord fill you and guide you.In His perfect love, Chanin

The people are trying to get as much sin in as possible before either judgment or revival hits (God knoweth). Similarly Mike, I have been feeling this way.. sometime in my heart even knowing that this is the cast that our western Christianity is molding us into. It's as Horatious Bonar once said: "I looked for the Church and I found it in the world, I looked for the world and I found it in the Church." Where are the overcomers.. Lord count me one, let me seek you at any cost, I will not count the world dear.The greatest obstacle to Revival is people who really want revival but refuse to take that stone of kryptonite out of their pocket.To share my heart, about 8 months ago I was reading the "Revival Lectures" by Charles finney and stopped at a certain point when he gave a solemn warning that if you read on past this point and don't fully submit your life to Christ then you could become caloused and hard in your perception of sin, etc. I closed the book and prayed and really felt I couldn't go on. I the past while the Lord has been speaking to my heart in so many wonderful ways, and I really feel that I need to pick up that book, read to where I left off and give all to Christ. I need to be repentant before the Lord, help me to do it Jesus. I'm sick of praying and talking about and for revival and not having a constant experience in my life. Lay my heart bare Lord, show me a glimpse of your glory as You did in the temple with Isaiah.REPENT! REPENT! REPENT!I don't want gifts that will make me feel good, I want to know the truth of my life and the lifes around me. I want to share God's heart. Lord help all of us to repent so we can be in a place where you can use us! use us Lord.
