TRUE NEW COVENANT REVIVAL

MY INSIGHT ABOUT IT.I taught revival was a going back to the original. The old creation was polluted in the fall of adam and eve . Christ comes to bring a reconciliation, a restoration to the full inheritance, This is the new creation and it is in stages . True new creation revival is a growing INTO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST. I believe must of the thing we call revival is not new covenant revival , most is just the OLD testament type , still in the OLD CREATION. So I think when we speak of revival it depend on what type of revival we mean either the NEW COVENANT TYPE where SIN is all ready done away with through partaking of the divine nature or the Old covenant type where just the moral law of God is observe through a little measure of HIS spirit.

"Behold, I am making all things new."
Restoration has been GOD'S intent and
purpose from the very beginning. Not
just the restoration of the fellowship
that was shared in the garden; but also
the restoration of the kingdom HE has
planned and purposed to give His Beloved
Son.

Amen brother, yes that is the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ , a restoration higher than the realm Adam and Eve inherited before the fall.

yepp, new covernant life is true revival.
My grand father was a part of the early pentcostal revival in sweden,
and I heard from him it was very old covernant based.

True friend, a lot of what we call revival is the Old covenant type.

Listen to the Bridegroom Beloved! Hear his voice! “How beautiful you are, my darling, How beautiful you are! Your eyes are like doves behind your veil”, ablaze with Holy Spirit fire, burning with passion for the beloved Son of God.
Oh Father in heaven, let us live in that blessed moment, as Jesus lifts our veil, and the glorious love of his holy kiss shines for eternity.

"True new creation revival is a growing INTO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST."

The purpose of God is not only that men would be saved from hell, but that they would be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul travailed for the Galatians that "Christ would be formed in them." Christ is in us, but the will of God is that He would be fully formed in us. The purpose of all of God's dealings with us is the fulness of Christ. That He may increase and that we may decrease. That Christ might be magnifed in our mortal bodies, so that we can truly say: "For me to live is Christ."

Amen brother. May the heavenly vision be fresh everyday as HE anoint our eyes to see what we are call to possess.

The REAL new covenant is the fulfillment of the old...complete with Priesthood and Sacrifice.

New Covenant Revival is not a term found in Scripture. Do I see a bit of a contradiction in your stated belief in the self-refuting doctrine of Sola Scriptura?

I am SO happy to be Catholic!!!

It is the one true faith.

Someone last night said that Catholics are deceived because I claimed that the Church is the pillar of the Truth and quoted a couple wonderful Scriptures to try and prove that. I guess they didn't know their Bible as well as they thought:

"But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." - 1 Tim. 3:15

O praise the Lord, He showed me the Truth! I invite you ALL to the only Body connected with the Head!

It is WONDERFUL!!!!

I am SO happy to be Catholic!!!

I am so grieved that you find your joy in being a Catholic. It will fade. Only the unspeakable joy of being in Christ Jesus will last.

MyVeryHeart,

God love you! I'm a preacher's kid and have heard more sermons, been in more services, "revivals", etc. than you could shake a stick at. I grew up and became a preacher like my daddy. Preached in a large number of States and a couple foreign countries. But assurance was only to be found in the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ 2k yrs ago.

Only the Catholic Church perfectly preaches union with our precious Lord Jesus Christ. Only they can rightly eat His precious Body and drink His precious blood. He said if we don't we don't have life.

O God is SO good!

But I understand that you don't understand. This quote I think sums it up well:

"There are not more than 100 people in the world who truly hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they perceive to be the Catholic Church." - Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Ancient Faith,

I was a child of the devil, practiced every kind of immorality, a drug addict, and Jesus Christ saved me from death. I tried to Join the Catholic church but they told me I could not join unless I believed in a bunch of stuff about Mary. I said doctrines about Mary were not important, it was the Cross of Christ that matters and that is where I will stay, crucified with him. Church did not save me. Christ did. And it is him who I will preach! It is him who I will glorify! Not an idol, but the Living God!

Uh oh... I doubt this fellow's long for SI's world!

Sola Scriptura being self-refuting? How about papal infallibility? :D

Be nice, everyone.

ancientfaith,

My Mom was raised as a Catholic, and she had a pretty good grasp of it, yet once she read the Bible, she couldn't remain in it, because many of the things it taught were contradictory with the word of God...

I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say there, about miss-understandings about the Catholic Church?

A note to everyone else: let's not get our dander up, let's hear what he has to say first!!

First of all dear Saints, we as followers of Jesus Christ, we shall have no other gods... Being in love with anything more than the one and only True God through Jesus Christ His Son is sin. We shall not love,money, person, position, popularity or denomination above God. Let us check our hearts constantly no matter where we fellowship etc.

I believe the Catholic Church among others feel good and justify themselves because of their acts. Going into a Catholic Church and doing all the rituals makes one feel right with God. Then doing good works makes one feel good and right with God. But God looks on the hearts.

My Mother was raised in a strict Catholic home, school etc. and her and her sister rebelled against it. The doctrine was shoved down their throats.

My daughter married a Catholic and became one. She now has 8 children and thinks she has pleased God. They are wonderful children as she and her hubby are great parents. But it is sad to see the fear. I asked one time what happens if you don't go to mass. My grandson said it was a cardinal sin. Not sure what that is but it is very grieving.

I know the Lord looks upon our hearts. I know my grandmother loved the Lord with all her heart and it caused me to love Him as well. She was a Catholic. I did not know Him but I loved Him. I know she is with Him now too.

I know my Mother loved Him too and in her last few months we enjoyed fellowship in Him. Reading about Him and Heaven. She could never hear about my relationship with the Lord due to so much in her face religion growing up. And then one day we began to talk about the Lord. She says she prays all the time but she doesn't do the rosary. I said Mom that's all the Lord wants from us is to talk to Him from our heart. He doesn't want to hear repetition. That religious spirit left her and it was her and Jesus. She had joy, we sang & prayed and read. Glory to God! She is with her Savior now.

I don't write this to condemn or put down but to share a testimony. I know that the Lord searches the hearts all over the world looking for hearts who truly want Him.If it is true love for Him or if it is just a feel good religion He knows. Nothing and no one is impossible for God.

As a child the Catholic religion never made sense to me. I would ask Mom about things but she didn't have an answer. Then she said if you want the real religion, ask God. God saved me from religion and I only had seeds in my heart for Jesus. I was not raised in the Church.

So I asked and it was several months later He took me to my first Bible Study ever and it was there the Holy Spirit came upon me, cleansed me, saved me and my whole worldly desires turned to just hunger and thirsting for Him. On the radio, in the Word in fellowship and sharing. I cried for over an hour. The joy of knowing I was saved and if I died I would go to Heaven and be with my Lord. I had to shout it to the world and I did! Everywhere I went, everyone I knew I shared how God saved me, cleansed me etc.

The Lord was searching the earth and He found my heart wanting Truth, wanting Him and He revealed Himself to me. He didn't take me to a denomination, He took me straight to Jesus! Hallelujah! And glory to God!

I beg anyone in love with their denomination or anything or anyone to please with all the passion in you - ask for and seek a hunger and thirst for God through His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. He did it all. There is nothing else left to do. Just ask Him with a heart ready to receive the Truth. It is God's plan. We are the creation, He is the Creator.

I write this in pure love. Our Lord is worthy to be believed in spirit and in truth. May God continue to reveal Himself to us. We love You Lord, we worship and bow down to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Amen and Amen. glorify Yourself Dearest Lord.
