138 days until the Greenock, Scotland Revival Conference
Do we believe that the latter rain of revival is to fall before Jesus comes back again? The promise is clear enough, but is our faith strong enough? Is it a faith which believes?
Expectancy also calls for a faith that receives—“They were all filled with the Holy Spirit.” God fills only the hearts and lives of those who have a receiving faith. Have you received this fullness? God’s purpose for our lives is continuous revival, and continuous revival is equated with the continuous fullness of the Holy Spirit.
When we are first converted the word to us is: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. “From that point on the relevant exhortation is Ephesians 5:18, “Be filled with the Spirit.” Have we the faith to receive the fullness which God is waiting to pour out?
Expectation further calls for a faith that achieves. We read: “They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak … as the Spirit gave them utterance … there were added that day about three thousand souls.” Filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking with fearlessness, they stepped out to achieve results for God. And their expectation was not unrewarded. A large city was shaken, a great crowd was challenged and three thousand souls were converted in one day. Their whole ministry carried a relevance, an authority and a conviction such as men and women had never before witnessed. -Stephen F. Olford
