Another Charismatic Revival-real or fake? watch
 
Is Steve Gray Trying to Fake Another Revival ?


For Pastor Steve and Kathy Gray of World Revival Church in Kansas City, the lightnings of God first struck on March, 24, 1996 igniting an international revival which became known as The Smithton Outpouring. Reporters around the globe documented over a quarter of a million people followed the flames to a town of 532, in the middle of nowhere, to experience the power and presence of God, resulting in powerful demonstrations of healing and life changing encounters.

But could this "lightning" strike again, creating yet another life-changing event so powerful that it would cause Gray and his congregation to become a sign and wonder again?

How is that? If revival is defined as "pink unicorns flying around the church service" then I agree with you. There IS revival. There is such a thing as revival.

Hasn't this same thing been happening for the last 100 years. Looks like a lot of hype to me. I just hope to many folks aren't damaged by all of this stuff.

then please by all means show me in the New Testament where the world "revival" is used in the context we use it in. Feel free to use any version you like. I am open to textual based correction. Good luck finding it.

The only thing close to it in the New Testament is this version.. http://biblecc.com/acts/3-19.htm

Weymouth New Testament Version - Acts 3:19
Repent, therefore, and reform your lives, so that the record of your sins may be cancelled, and that there may come seasons of revival from the Lord,

... but i would take that to be a personal work, not really a corporate work, and all the froufrou and sensationalism that we roll into the concept .. and the more commonly accepted translation is the word "refreshing"

From the KJV
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.


but seriously, it still doesn't hold up the framework of "revivalism" that has been built around the ill used word. My view on it is explained in the thread i made.

DG, what part was hype? the music was contemporary and
the service was charismatic- all joking aside, i thought you liked
that style ?

At least there are no tattoos and piercings and talk of Angels with the name of Emma, what I saw seemed OK, but the ultimate test of revival and renewal is the fruit.

But it is always concerning that so much focus is on manifestations instead of Jesus. But that's my take.
