That is an excellent point. Since Paul said, I don't want to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and him Crucified.
Add up the sermons at every General conference that have the word 'Revival" in the title or the theme.
Add up the sermons at General conference on "Standards of holiness".
Add up the Sermons at General conference on the "Crucifixion"
The revivial and the standards out number them by plenty.
Because their theme is what makes us different?
We have "The message"
Acts 2:38.
We are set aside in the favor of GOD, "Standards".
Yet they have never reached any sunstained level of "Revival".
Why because they have missed the real message "The Cross of Calvary".
Without the Cross you have nothing to put the power in
Acts 2:38.
To them that believe it is the power of God.....
You want revival in your churches.
Throw out the Affirmation statement on standards etc.
Have every united pentecostal minister, pastor, evangelist, missionary, board member, Gen Sup, Sunday school teacher, worship and praise leader.
Preach, teach, write, sing, proclaim the Blood of Calvary.
Week after week after week.
You get what you preach.
Preach the cross and the sinners will find the doors, the pews, the alter, the Baptismal tank, the experience of the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues, and overcomming life style, tithing, love, longsuffering, kindness, respect, fruitfulness, annointing, miracles, signs, wonders, deliverance, and eternal life.
Keep preaching you are the relevant movement and we will "have" revival in 2008.
You will preach the same message in 2009.
Preach the cross and the rest of God follows....
