What IF revival will come to no church but THE church?

P
Pnutty May 11, 2016

I was just thinking how in times past revival comes to a church or an area.

But this time it is the Church's last stand.

What if every born again is packed full of the Holy Ghost all at once globally? And that is the revival. So even with revival we arent to look here or lo there it has begun.

But what if POW we are presence of God saturated.

This sounds reasonable to me. And no one Christian will be left out anywhere. Preaching, healing, working miracles.

And of course many will be saved. And majority folks will want to shut us up and kill us as is typical. And then the rapture. My view. Ill only change that view if I see the 7 year treaty signed, then Ill say, oops.

What say you about global revival?

First, I like the way you think! These are the ways I like to dream!

Secondly, and this always comes first and never changes - God is sovereign and that trumps everything every time.

As for myself, I'm in the midst of a personal revival and I'm taking great care to not let this fire dwindle, die, be quenched, or dampened. Oil causes fire to burn strong so I pray to be continually filled with His oil so that fire in me continues to grow and, hopefully, spread!

With that said, considering where we are in biblical history, I don't necessarily see any large scale revivals coming before the rapture. (Yes, I'm a firm, immovable believer of the pre-tribulation rapture!) Will the U.S. experience revival before then? I just don't see it. Again, God is sovereign and I'm hardly the last word on any subject.

However, personal revivals and revivals of church bodies are completely conceivable to me and this is what I pray for! I want to see the church go out strong!

I don't like speaking "Christian-ese" or typical Christian lingo, but I don't know how else to put this. I "feel in my spirit" that the Holy Spirit is putting self-professing Christians through a weeding process right now. True Christians will remain while fake Christians are falling away, leaving churches and putting distance between themselves and God. The weeding process consists of standing up for Jesus and what His word says in the face of all the persecution from the government, media, social media, and general public for being "intolerant" and "haters" towards liberal issues -- LGBT community (gay "marriage" issues, public restroom issues, etc.), a woman's "right" to choose, illegal immigration, gun laws, etc.,

I believe personal trials come into play in this weeding process, too, but that's what I see happening. True Christians will stand and be revived. False Christians will fall away to avoid the persecution. So, yes, I believe we're in a time of personal revivals especially.
