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!

I don't think the scripture you quote fits the question you ask.

As Bro. Sam has posted , to revive means in scripture to ressurect the dead. In order to "re" vive something it must first be alive prior to being dead.

Revival is for the church that has strayed or gotten "lukewarm" not for the lost. The lost were never alive in God to begin with therefor they cannot be "revived".

I believe the scripture you quoted refers not only to us but to the lost, "all flesh" In other words there will be ( IMO ) one last calling of souls, one last great tug of the heart. I believe many will heed the call, but it also said that many hearts will have already waxed cold.

If you want to see "revival" you must start with yourself. Not wait and watch for God to do it. Revival must start with us, with our prayers, with our praise, with our worship.

I am afraid the time of scripture you quote may already be here. I see more and more doors opening everyday to witness to someone, I feel the tug of the HG to speak to others, I see more and more who actually are intrested in what I have to say than ever before.

God has made the harvest ripe. Do we sit here and watch the harvest moon set ? or do we go out and gather it in. ?
