REVIVAL STARTS WITH YOUR YES... THOUGHTS FROM Brownsville revival.

There have been many definitions assigned to revival over the years.. FOr the sake of the journey here, I want to think of it in terms of a reintroduction to normal. This is exactly how Dr. Michael Brown and Pastor John Kilpatrick observe it.. Dr Brown described revival as "A SEASON OF UNUSUAL DIVINE VISITATION RESULTING IN DEEP REPENTANCE, SUPERNATURAL RENEWAL, AND SWEEPING REFORMATION IN THE CHURCH, Along with the radical conversion of sinners in the world, often producing moral, social, and even economic change in the local or national communities."
Dr Michael Brown

Pastor Kilpatrick explains revival is 'Not church as usual" When revival comes it exchanges the old 'usual'for the new 'usual' When revival comes some of what accompanies it would be considered 'abnormal' or unusual. Why? Its been so long since these things were usual in the church and in our lives that we have labeled them as unusual. By God's grace, the unusual is starting to become usual again." A few things revival is not..
Revival is not a series of special meetings at church. Revival is not what a church does a few times a year to draw in new converts (Although we celebrate true conversions they take place. Revival is not about the unusual, physical manifestation that tend to happen when people "Touched by the Holy SPirit,"

A.W.Tozer made this most relevant observation about praying for revival. "HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW MUCH PRAYING FOR REVIVAL HAS BEEN GOING ON OF LATE.. AND HOW LITTLE revival has resulted? I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SUBSTITUTE PRAYING FOR OBEYING AND IT SIMPLY WILL NOT WORK..

Dear Calvary.com.
I am sorry if u feel.. this way.. IF you study all revivals.. There are wheat and tares there always.
I respect the fact that I know people who were there personally and were changed.. So.. May we all see how the LORD moves and the enemy is always there to cause division in all moves of GOD..
Revivals are like church.. as soon as we get there its not perfect... GOD knows.. I m blessed many were changed and are still moving in the TRUTH and freedom that they received from the revival.. May the fire never sleep in us all.
May we all take the meat and spit out the bones..
Blessings.

The Brownsville "revival" was counterfeit with many demonic manifestations."

Brother,

If you would have ever visited the Brownsville Revival, you would know that what you are saying is false. Of course if you want to see what is not of God in a revival, that wouldn't be hard to do, because the devil has his counterfeits in every true move of God in an attempt to to delegitimize any true true revival.

We attended the Brownsville Revival on several occasions. We experienced the presence of God even outside the church. Many sinners were being saved each night. Strong evangelistic preaching by Steve Hill. Yes, repentance preaching! many backsliders coming back to to the Lord.

So brother you can read the heresy hunter columns and have opinions on what you know nothing about, but the good fruit was there, and Michael Brown and John Kilpatrick are mighty men of God to this day, and Steve Hill has gone on to be with the Lord.

"Prove all things and hold fast to that which is good."

Steve Hill Preaching At Brownsville Revival:

This is an example of messages preached night after night in which hundreds of people would run to the altar to be saved.

David Wilkerson’s Comments On Steve Hill:

Many false accusations were made concerning the Brownsville Revival and Steve Hill:

FACT: When Reverend David Wilkerson, the founder of Teen Challenge who has known Steve Hill for more than 20 years, learned that the Journal was accusing Steve Hill of being a phony who falsified his testimony, he immediately responded with this letter dated November 19, 1997: "To Whom It May Concern: Steve Hill was a debilitated, stoned addict when he first surrendered his life to Christ. He became an active worker with our ministry, helping rescue other addicts and alcoholics. Though many of his old friends had died, he related well to the street addicts, having been a drug pusher and having spent time in jail. Steve graduated from our Bible school in Texas. He has always been diligent and faithful. His story of deliverance from drug addiction and crime is a true testimony to the power of the gospel of Christ. One thing I know for sure ”“ Steve Hill is not a phony!"

Alec,

You have your mind made up, so I am not trying to change your mind, but I will present the truth and facts whenever I see true brothers in the Lord slandered.
