We keep talking about the 'soon to come' revival that will hit the OP church. Where is it? My real question, why is that everytime a revival and a move of God hits like the one in FL OP's look at it and try to find the wrong in it. We often try to discount it...that is our make-up. i believe we are missing it....the revival is here and yet we sit still waiting on it to arrive. We are like the Jews, waiting on the Messiah but the fact is we missed His first appearing! Are we waiting for a revival to come here and claim it is STILL to come, but yet it is actually here? Since it is not the same color, same shape, same smell, SAME LOOK, same family, same Org, same feel then it ain't the 'real thing.' Are we missing it? I believe so....what say ye?

Remember the world is burning for revival so is the church, but we want it the way we want it...the world will take it any way they can get it!

First of all by what reasoning is the entirety of Oneness Pentecostalism supposed to have "revival"? Any church be it Oneness or otherwise can be dead as a doornail and God is not going to force them to move if they refuse to move. They will be like Israel in the wilderness forever traveling around in circles.

Second...FL? Revival? Finding the wrong in it? Sorry I have no idea what you are talking about.

Revival is here. Revival is on the way...all sound like sound bites from various evangelists I have heard over the years.

Revival is neither here nor on the way. Revival Is not like a cloud that God sends you and suddenly you are having revival. BTW Im using the word revival in how it has come to mean. Literally it means to revive the dead. To revive churches that are dead. Any member of any local church can have revival and be on fire for God. Any local church can have the same. They need not wait for God to revive them. They need to seek God passionately and with an open mind and heart willing to hear and go whereever God says rather than to dictate to God how things ought to be. That is the problem with many who want revival but never get it. They have explicit expectations but God may be wanting to do things a little differently from how they have decided things should go.
