h Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years!
                                                                In the midst of the years make it known;
                                                                In wrath remember mercy.

 

                                                                                                                Habakkuk 3:1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 VALOR & GLORY

 

         When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering

         and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord,

         because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house. When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down,

         and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement,

         and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying:  “For He is good, for His mercy endures forever!”

 

                                                                                                                                                  2 Chronicles 7:1-3

                        

                 Great Awakening is at hand. We are on the threshold of the most powerful and intense outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Church

                 history. God is about to rain down His Glory once again. The final harvest of souls is about to be brought in from all the nations and                      then the end will come. Do you want to know great eschatology? You want to know when the Lord will come?  Then get busy ...

 

                             And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;

                              and then shall the end come.

 

                                                                                                                             Matthew 24:14

 

No matter how much resistance the forces of Hell muster - no matter what unbelieving, evil people will do to stop a revival - nothing can withstand an outright SOVEREIGN MOVE OF GOD from Heaven!  This next move of God will bring in the greatest harvest of souls in Church history and every Christian living today should count it a double honor to be able to serve God in this time. Now is the time to be brave and surrender all to God Almighty. Now is the time to be valiant for Jesus -valiant in prayer, valiant in intercession, valiant in fasting, valiant in preaching and proclamation. Now is the time to reap a golden harvest which the Lord has prepared since the foundations of the earth.

 

VALIANT

 

 

                                   nd have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed,

                                    for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

 

                                                                                                                                                                        Joshua 1:9

 

Without courage and valor among God's people, you can never have a true revival. Though an omnipotent God is the power generator of every great awakening, we as His people must be brave and be willing to cooperate with Him.

 

                               Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship. 

                               And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,

                               that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

 

                                                                                                                                                                           Romans 12:1-2

 

Every genuine believer should joyfully join the army of God in this hour and prepare themselves and their loved ones for this last days battle . And every authentic ministry should want to see and experience the power of God's glory in the Church - even as God's people experienced the presence of the pillar of fire in the Tabernacle of Moses and the Temple of Solomon.  

 

Every leader should be seeking the pure flame of Holy Ghost Fire just as the 120 believers did in the Upper Room in the second chapter of Acts.  Without the fire of the Holy Ghost present in our meetings and convocations, without the pillar of God's fiery presence freely falling upon the people as the Word is preached - all of our religious works and efforts to serve God will be in vain.

 

An Eternal Perspective

 

                                               "Whatever you do in this life echoes and reverberates throughout eternity . . ."

 

So we do not forget all the sacrifices that, Moses, Solomon and God's people in the early church made PRIOR to those outpourings, this web page is to serve as a reminder that Christians everywhere are called to totally surrender to God's will.  True saints will be gladly willing to work for the King of the harvest.  nAs the great missionary pioneer William Carey once wrote they should ...

 

                                                              Attempt great things for God, expect great things from God ...

 

God has shown that only the courageous and valiant will engage in absolute battle with satan and absolute surrender to God's will in this final hour. This is what it will truly take to experience the Great Spiritual Awakening so many talk and write about.  And this is the the only safe place for a Christian today. Our safety is in our submission ...

 

                                                      Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

 

                                                                                                                                                              James 4:7

 

 

 

Yes, the visible Glory of God fell in the Temple where Solomon prayed - but also Solomon and the people fasted, consecrated themselves and then sacrificed thousands of sheep and oxen to the Lord -- so much so that the blood of those sacrifices rose up to the knees of the preists.  And the early church prayed and fasted often in Holy Ghost union and cried out to God until the Holy fire of God fell upon them all.

 

Frankly, there will never be a revival without first overcoming the intense warfare and spiritual resistance from demonic powers and forces of evil everywhere.  In short, the fire of God will not fall without a price and a sacrifice ...

 

 

           “ No, I insist on paying you for it.

            I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings

           that cost me nothing.”

           So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen

           and paid fifty shekels of silver for them.

 

                                                              2 Samuel 24:24

 

 

 

 

 

But no matter what we do as God's people, unless we engage in the holy sacrifice of continual private intercession and corporate prayer; unless there are revival prayer meetings where the people of the Lord are literally standing in the gap for those outside the Camp & who are without Christ, there can be no revival or awakening that so many speak of.

 

 

       And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land,

        that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

 

                                                                                                                                                                                      Ezekiel 22:30

 

                                                                                                   I set myself on fire for God

                                                                                                       

                                                                                           and the whole world comes to watch me burn ... 

 

                                                                                                                                    - John Wesley

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's why God used John Wesley so mightily during America's First Great Awakening - he was willing to sacrifice all to seek God and pray for revival. He was willing to give his life to Jesus for the purpose of the Great Commission. He believed that the chief aim of every true believer was to win souls . Read his sermon online - "The Almost Christian." It's the heart and soul of his entire ministry.

 

                                        The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise

 

                                                                                                                                                     Proverbs 11:30

 

 

So set yourself on fire this day in prayer. Like Solomon, Daniel & Wesley, pray fervently that God will make you a soul winner too ...

                                                                                                

THE GREAT OMMISSION

 

              And  Jesus said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

              He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

              And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;

             they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing,

              it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick,and they shall recover. 

             So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven,

             and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where,

             the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following....

             Amen.

 

                                                                                                                                                           Mark 16:15-20

 

The systematic removal of God from our entire national culture, the Federal Government's attack on marriage between a man and a wife, pornography, infidelity, corruption, lying, abortion, drug addiction, rise of the occult, a backslidden Church and a bevy of luke warm TV ministries heralding the false doctrine of positive thinking, easy believism, conspicuous consumption, materialism and cheap grace etc., have all invited the judgments of a holy God.  Unless there is a Heaven-sent revival, our nation's worse days lie ahead.  

 

America should have been exalted. prospered and blest and retained her exclusive "City on a Hill/ Beacon of Light for all nations" status. But instead, she is on the verge of destruction from without and disintegration from within. America has become a godless, fragmented, valueless, internationalist-socialist, immoral aberration of what are righteous founding fathers intended ....

 

                                                                  If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

                                                    

                                                                                                                     Psalm 11:3

 

There is a solemn absence of scriptural and ANOINTED bible teaching in our nation and our culture.  If for nothing else that alone is the sole reason we are heading toward disaster.  Without the Word our leaders and the public lacks common sense and discernment. That is why we now forsake our allies on the battlefield while we embrace enemies. We pay for social services for non citizens but deny services to tax paying citizens. Our borders are wide open to criminals and terrorists.

 

With unimaginable tragic results, (Christians world wide are being beheaded and murdered as I write this), our blind leaders have allowed for advanced technology to fall into the hands of radical, America hating, Islamist regimes that have vowed to destroy us.

 

Domestically, our schools are in chaos, our government in DC is buried in foreign debt, drought and pernicious fires are in the land, many of our greatest most patriotic warriors and generals have been dismissed, our military's has been deliberately weakened by our CRT, "woke" chief executives, corruption and immorality, lying & greed is rampant, children are persecuted for praying to Jesus, false cults and religions not indigenous to our founding nation have been encouraged to flourish - none of which will allow allegiance to our Judeo-Christian based Constitution and Bill of Rights. Godly preachers and statesmen in our Congress our on a daily basis mocked and roasted by the media, entertaiment industry and the people themselves. Meanwhile their own destruction is speedily heading toward them on the horizon.

 

We have become a godless nation that hates God's truth!  They plead that a New World Order is a solution.   But what they will get is a New World Tyranny and the Anti-Christ. They will welcome the outright loss of individual prosperity, freedoms and the pursuit of happiness for a false savior.

 

But these and many other evils are just a few manifest symptoms of a singular and  larger spiritual problem in our country ...

 

As in the days of Noah & Amos - there is a dearth of God's Presence and a famine for His Word in the land ...

 

The biggest Judgment of all

 

 

                                             Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land,

                                                not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord ...

 

                                                                                                                                                                               Amos 8:11

 

The TV church has for decades wearied the people with their excesses and pleas for money.  

 

They don't preach the word and in private they mock the truth. Many are of the Saul/Ahab priesthood - the TARES that Jesus warned His people of. Thus the first step in any revival is to strongly cast false priesthood out of the Temple with the whip of His Word.

 

 

         The biggest judgment in the land today is an outright withdrawal of God's Presence,

         His revelation and guidance and a hiding of His Word.

         In the absence of God's truth, there can only be void to which Lucifer will gladly fill -

         anarchy, chaos, blind leading the blind, poverty, sexual perversion, violence, riots, murders,

         hatred of authority, a rise in anti-Semitism and unwarranted hatred for Israel,

         unprecedented natural disasters, economic woes, the strengthening of our adversaries

         and this dis-empowerment for us to do anything about it ...

         Christianity and science were wedded for the past 300 years

         and gave the WEST the upper hand over its oppressive enemies - but no longer.

         Our current blind leaders are giving away our scence to our avowed enemies. 

 

 

 

     God sees Motives

 

 

            The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

            I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his thoughts and ways ...

                                                                                                                    

                                                                                                                                                      Jeremiah 17:9 -10 

 

Abraham Lincoln once said that you could fool the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. But you can never fool God at ANYTIME because He sees all the motions of every thought and machinations of our minds. He clearly percieves the motives of our hearts. The revivalists of the Great Awakening - whether Samuel Davies, Jonathan Edwards, Whitefield or Wesley, all preached one central truth. That most men on earth walk in a "peculiar form of righteousness."

 

                                                                                

 

                                     These things you have done, and I kept silence; you thought that I was altogether such an one as yourself:

                                      but I will reprove you, and set them in order before thine eyes.

 

                                                                                                                                                          Psalm 50:21

 

Peculiar Form of Righteousness

 

God in no way resembles the common man's way of thinking. Yet, with smug pride and arrogance (even though they have no power to bring themselves into this world or take themselves to heaven) most people are deluded into thinking that God is "altogether like themselves" and He will judge them partially, as they would judge themselves. They act as if they are the "special favorite of Heaven" and that God will let their sins slide.

 

They live and think as if God Almighty will simply "wink" at their  sins. That despite their foul imaginations, private deeds of darkness, idolatrie and sins - they flatter themselves and have convinced themselves that they are basically a "good person" and not in need of a savior of any kind. They truly believe that this is both a brave and noble way of thinking! 

 

They falsely estimate and think they and others they love or admire are excused from their vices. They see no need for a Savior or a sacrifice for their sins and they deceive themselves to think that their heart is as God's. They see no need for repentance or to seek God's love, grace or holiness while living their short stint on this planet.

 

 

                                                                                          You thought that I was like you ...

 

                                                                                                                                                Psalm 50:21

 

Jesus couldn't stomach the relgious crowd of His day because they were always judging themselves and others by the outward ACTIONS of others, whereas God sees the heart motives. That's why the priests were so wrong in their maligning, false judgments of the repentant harlot when Mary worshipped at His feet.  God saw her pure love and heart of worship as opposed to the snooty pride and arrogance of the Pharisees and religious leaders of His day.

 

God judges accurately and justly while men are always trying to exalt themselves and gain advantage.  Jesus is the Creator.  He is an uncreated class of being wholly unto Himself and never to be compared to mankind in their thoughts.

 

 

                                            The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all the nations that forget God.

 

                                                                                                                                                           Psalm 9:17

 

Intercession has given us a stay of execution for a season. A righteous remnant has served the devil a temporary restraining order.

But time is running out for America to have a much needed Great Awakening - there is no chance for delay.

 

Outside of serious intecession and pure worship, all the talk, preaching, teaching, books, TV shows, evangelistic crusades etc., are all but empty patter in God's ears. Even worship music that seems anointed is rejected if it is produced or performed with wrong motives.

 

 

                                 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people,

                                and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love,

                                but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

                                And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice,

                                and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

                               And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,)

                               then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

 

                                                                                                                                   Ezekiel 33:31f

 

But only the true worshipper who has the Word of God firmly rooted in his/her heart can carry fire of revival in his breast in this final hour.

 

 

                Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

               For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her

               roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green;

               and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

 

                                                                                                                                             Jeremiah 17:8f

  

                                                                                                                                    

When we let God's living word fill our hearts and we act on God's truth in our daily lives the JUDGMENTS in the land will cease - a righteous minority has always preserved and saved an ungrateful, uncaring godless majority since the dawn of human civilization.

 

             

              he prophet and intercessor Abraham stood in the gap for Sodom amd Gomorrah. He had righteous relatives living there and did not                    want to see them destroyed with all the lawless, violent sexual perverts of that debauched culture. If God could have even found ten 

righteous He would have spared the twin cities utter judgment ... but Abraham bartered too low and wrongly assumed that there were even TEN RIGHTOUS SOULS living there ...

 

 

                Then Abraham said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more:

                Suppose ten should be found there?” And God said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.”

                 So the Lord went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

 

                                                                                                                                                        Genesis 18:32-33

 

 

A simple solution

      

 

                          If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray

                         and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, 

                         and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears

                        attentive to the prayers offered in this place. I have chosen and consecrated this temple

                        so that my Name may be there forever.

                      My eyes and my heart will always be there.

 

                                                                                                                           2 Chronicles 7:14-16

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                            

 

 

The simplicity of prayer, repentance and living in obedience to the Word is the tried and true way to another Great Awakening.

God just promised in the passage above that His holy eyes and heart will always survey our Church services and assemblies and will discern our motives. You can bet the farm on that!  So without pure heart motives there will be no revival.

 

 

   I hate and despise your feast days and I do not savor your sacred assemblies.
Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
  I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
  Take away from Me the noise of your songs,
  For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
  But let justice run down like water,
  And righteousness like a mighty stream.

 

                                                                                             Amos 5:20-21

 

 

Humility. Honesty. Transparency before God. Heartfelt repentance. These are always the first fruits and the first steps in any true revival.

The demon of greed and materialism must be repented of and cast out of the Temple!  Nobody (including mio) is fooling God at any time and everyone will reap where they sow. God has no favorites and is no respecter of persons. His justice is for all races and peoples - rich or poor, educated or illiterate.

 

 

GOLDEN ALTAR WORSHIP

 

   Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar.

   He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people,

   on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense,

   together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. 

  Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth;

   and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

 

                                                                                                                 Revelation 8:3-5

 

 

FIre meets fire

 

                                The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

 

                                                                                                                                James 5:16b

 

       Principle: When offer the sweet incense of fervent prayer from a righteous heart it is put by angels in the Golden Altar before God's                    throne. Angels will hurl back revival fire on the earth with authority and supernatural power (Thunders & lightnings of God)

 

When we offer the fiery prayer up to heaven in earnest God will send His fire from Heaven to meet it! 

God desires to move in a spiritual awakening but He first waits for the pure prayers and Golden Altar worship to ascend to heaven  ...

God will accept the fervent prayers of a righteous man or woman. He accepts the pure offerings of His people when they worship Him with proper motives - for love of Him and not just out of need. He wants us to seek His face - not just His hand.

 

Where there is tarrying, true, heart-felt revival prayer meetings , the angels will lift the precious prayers of the saints to the Throne of God and will place them on the Golden Altar of Incense. God loves this sweet fragrance of an incense offering and in response will send back to earth thunders and lightnings of breakthrough authority and power to the church. The Church can only progress as much as it prays.

 

Every servant of God should be a servant of revival so every servant should love to pray - and then become the very answer to their own prayers!  Isaiah did not pray "HERE AM I SEND SHE, HE or THEE …" He declared … "Here I am, send me! "

 

As D.L Moody once said, the chief aim of the Church is to win souls and to faithfully present the truth of God to the people for their acceptance or rejection. We must stop "waiting" and like a farmer, begin to plow up the fallow, hardened ground of the hearts of people everywhere and sow the life giving seed of God's inerrant, living Word into the  souls of men. But let's begin in our Jerusalem - lets plow up our local fields first. Then we will be able to go to the uttermost parts of the earth.

 

We should then pray and leave the results with God. For in the end, only the work of God's Holy Spirit falling down from Heaven as a fiery pillar can revive a person, family, church and nation.

 

But it is the duty of every believer to obey the Great Commission and to share the faith with others wherever God has planted them.

(Matt. 28:18-20)

 

And even though the idea of working in a revival is repugnant to the vast majority

of church-going, religious people, it is NEVER a small thing when He calls forth 

His righteous remnant to battle - His chosen servants to revive a backslidden

Church in order to preserve God's own elect and the nation we live in. 

When a believer obeys the call of God to spread the light of His salvation,

His Glory will go to the ends of the earth as His revival fire descends

upon the whole planet.

 

God has CHOSEN YOU to accomplish this …

 

Why not become an answer to your own prayer?

 

 

    And he said, It is too small a thing that you should be my servant

    to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel:   

    I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles,

    that you may be my salvation unto the ends of the earth.

    Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One,

    to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors,

    to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship,

    because of the LORD who is faithful and the Holy One of Israel, and he has chosen you.

 

                                                                                                                        Isaiah 49:6

 

God promised that in the last days He would pour out His Holy Spirit on "all flesh"

and that the Glory of God would arise and shine upon the countenance of every true believer … 

that every sincere believer would become a lighthouse, a city on a hill an outpost of the

light of His Glory …

 

                              Arise, shine;
                             For your light has come!
                             And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
                             For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
                             And deep darkness the people;
                             But the Lord will arise over you,
                             And His glory will be seen upon you.
                             The Gentiles shall come to your light,
                             And kings to the brightness of your rising. [Isaiah 60:1-3]
