"We need to stand united and prayer God loves unity. Psa 133. There are all sorts of groups popping up LGBT.. they have rights BUT WE HAVE THE LIGHT OF THE WORD.. WE HAVE THE POWER BECAUSE OF OUR JESUS.."
Amen sister!
Most of the Body of Christ has yet to realize the authority that God has given to the Church, that whatsoever we bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatsoever we loose on earth is loosed in heaven." (Matthew 18:18).
When we see a situation that is not according to God's will as we are seeing all over the world today, the Church should rise up and seek the Lord, using authoriative prayer. The Body of Christ has been made to sit in heavenly places in Christ, far above all principality and power.
Carlos Annacondia was used by the Lord to bring revival to Argentina, and it came about beacause he took the battle to the enemy.
"In Argentina, we are experiencing a glorious visitation of God. The presence of the Lord comes upon our meetings in a powerful manner. We see miracles and supernatural manifestations. Meetings will last four or five hours, and still nobody wants to leave because God is there. We have allowed the Holy Spirit to take control of our worship services. Praise and worship times are now fresh and spontaneous. Leaving behind the religious routines and spiritual lukewarmness...all that matters is the presence of God." Pastor Claudio Freidzon
Is God's hand on the revival...see for yourself, as Carlos testifies:
"In 1992, I got together with eighty local churches to hold a big crusade in a northern province. We asked several radio and television stations to sell us air time so we could broadcast our services live. They all wanted an extreme amount of money. More than we could ever imagine coming up with. The team was discouraged. So we decided to declare spiritual warfare, and we rebuked the devil, saying, ‘Satan move back. We bind you in the name of Jesus. Let go of the means of communication. Go away strongman, you are defeated.' We prayed for several days. The day before the crusade, we got a call from a media executive saying they would sell us the air time at 30 percent less than what they quoted. The FM radio station broadcast the crusade at no cost. On Saturday more than ten different radio and television stations broadcast the service. The first night, five minutes after the beginning of the broadcast, the television stations we had not contracted with had a technical problem and had to discontinue their regular programs. The only thing that the entire city could watch that night was our crusade."
Thousands upon thousands were converted.
What sets this on-going revival apart from any other is the understanding of spiritual warfare which gets to the root of the problem, instead of dealing with symptoms. United prayer evangelization has become a powerful key to the transforming of the society. As people see dramatic answers to prayer, many come to the Lord. The move of God there has also been characterized by a passion for the lost, and a networking among leaders.
Just recently these have been reports from the revival:
After receiving Christ, the president of a political party invited Jesus to be head of his party.
One of the most influential couples in the nation received the Lord and invited Jesus to be CEO of their business group.
The founder, president and dean of a leading university gave their lives to Jesus.
The speaker of the house in the most powerful provincial government received the Lord, giving all to Him.
In Argentina, these new believers did not just accept Jesus in their hearts, they also invited Him into their corporations, political parties, Congress and city hall, because they understand that salvation has come to their house, not just their soul.
The Argentine Revival shows no sign of abating. The fire of revival is as hot today as it was in 1982. Not too long ago, a German pastor sent a brother to Carlos Annacondia to ask him about this revival. This brother had written many books. He was now investigating everything about revivals and their flaws. He spoke about Finney, Moody, Wesley, and others. He wanted to find out from Carlos why revivals stop and why this revival is still on-going. Carlos answered:
"If there are two boxers in a ring, one attacks and the other defends himself. When the one attacking stops, the one defending himself will start to attack. The same happens with the church in her struggle with Satan. When we are fighting for lost souls, what carries the battle on is our love for those lives. When the church stops the devil attacks. Now the church is on the defensive. Don't ever lose your place of victory within the struggle! Love for the lost produces revival. When love ceases, revival does too. He who has a passion for souls lives in an on-going revival."
Luke 10:18-20 "... And He said to them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven'."
