Why would a Revival start?
How does a Revival start?
Is there such a thing as a counterfeit Revival?
Yes, just like there are false Christs and prophets.
How do you tell the difference?
Simple answer: Jesus is exalted.
Not the effects of the Revival, but Jesus Himself.
The Revival brings people to the cross.
People want to serve Jesus.
People want to follow Him.
People want to give their lives to Him.
People want to repent of sin and be cleansed by Jesus’ blood.
People want to know Him.
People realize Jesus is worthy of worship.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me. John 12:32
They do not want to glorify a man.
They are not interested in seeking the miracles.
They are interested in learning more about Jesus, the Son of God.
They want to learn about His righteousness and holiness.
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth,
and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying,
Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,
be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Revelation 5:13
Quench not the Spirit 1 Thessalonians 5:19 if you see Him moving.
Key: If Christ’s beauty and deity are being proclaimed,
you know you are at the right throne. Follow Him.
