I was born and raised in Topeka, Ks and I lived in a somewhat christian home...if there is such a thing. When I recieved the Holy Ghost in 2007 GOD catipolted me into a life that I never dreamed I'd have. Now I'm all about JESUS and what I can do for him despite what evil has come my way and the darkness of the world because in the end JESUS is still the light and I comprehend him and do not intend to not let him impact me. In fact I have every intention of letting him impact me! JESUS bless

Misconceptions about revivals

Reality of Revival

Reality often sets in and teaches each and everyone of us life lessons that we have to face on a daily basis.  The top thing people are doing right now in the Apostolic church and false-doctrine churches is Revival.  The common misconception about revival is that it is a revival of souls, which it is but not a revival of souls of those who are not yet born-again.  We are currently in revival and I've learned that to first be in revival means to revive something that was once alive or slipping away into nothingness.

Revival was always intended to revive the church, we hear about tent revivals and great revivalist all the time but if you ever search it out they first revived the congregation.  Because God uses and body to do his will, he uses his body his church to do his will that is what we were put here for.  We are to be first perfected by the authorities or gifts of the church as stated in Eph 4:11-12.

It is our duty to first fix the problems in the church by submitting to the Holy Ghost and the Man of God he puts in charge.  Church unity is built through revival and understanding bringing us all into "1" mind and "1" accord.  On the day of pentecost when the Holy Ghost fell that was because of their prayer and devotion to God in one mind and one accord.  Jesus moved upon all of them and filled them with his spirit and BOOM revival came.

Reality of revival is simple we first have to take the plank out of our own eye in order to remove the speck from those who do not have any relationship with God.
Let us have revival but let us be revived now because God wants to use us from the inside and the annointing is the only thing we're gonna be able to use that he has given us to break the yoke off the necks of those individual souls. 

It is God's will that we first be revived before reviving others because you can't revive something that never lived, but you can revive something that once lived and awaken its senses to once again continue with its life.  Lets wake up church because real revival starts inside.
