[__ Prayer __] Revival is breaking out !

or, as is common in Pentecostal/charismatic circles, they’re just experience chasers and addicts.

You must know a lot of people and Churches all over the US, and have first hand experience to be making such derogatory remarks about people.


Are you baptized with the Holy Spirit?

Exactly. One of the main issues with this “revival” is that people are coming from all over the place, apparently. But, of course, that doesn’t make it a revival. It could just be people going so they can say they were there, or they just don’t want to miss out, or, as is common in Pentecostal/charismatic circles, they’re just experience chasers and addicts.

Whatever the reason, more people showing up doesn’t mean revival. Wait and see what the fruit is is the best approach.


Anything with NAR is highly suspect.
Yes , very much so

He isn't wrong. Seen it .heard it .

I mentioned it .

Pastor of a church nearby wouldn't preach that one doesn't need to travel there to get healing when it's available in this church .you can get the Spirit here.



Was it everyone ? No but it's not uncommon .if you ain't always happy and joyous there is a pressure placed on you.

You aren't growing in levels ? Then it's you not God. They say .I battled that .now my old church wasn't one to belittle you like that but the pressure is there as you see others and wonder why not me?

I emphazise that that church usually wasn't out there to the extreme but had some issues at times .

I grew up in the Pentecostal church. My dad was a Pentecostal pastor, as was his dad and his dad’s brothers and sister. There are reasons I’m a recovering Pentecostal, and a near complete lack of discernment, infiltration of WoF teaching (hence, just one example of a lack of discernment), general chaos during alter calls/prayer, everyone speaking in “tongues” during some portion of the service (in violation of 1 Cor 14), and experience chasing are among those reasons. So many people, going up night after night, trying to get a very subjective experience.

At the last church I was going to, the leadership, and others who were cool enough to join them, went to Toronto and Lakeland, chasing “revival.”

Are you baptized with the Holy Spirit?
Every believer is.

I don’t believe you.

Seen it, heard it means nothing.

When you make blanket derogatory statements about all people who are baptized with the Holy Spirit, the you are speaking directly against every single one of them in a derogatory way.

Lakeland was a disaster.

I hope and pray you receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, with the biblical evidence of speaking in tongues.


God is pouring out His Spirit in America, and we desperately need it.

You right I should ignore my own experience since being saved going to three different pentacostal churches ,seeing it ,wanting to go to them despite my own church having Said testimony of much greater local level that I can simply mention herman stalvey.his adopted son is the head of the garbage collection dept .knows this and his mother is the pastor of said church .

I attended that church a decade .don't believe when she has a sister mention going to Brownsville and holding revivals .

But believe you who doesn't even post your church .the testimony of herman stalvey and how he was led to unify the colored barrier here is well known .

Yet the same pastor said you can go there but we can have it here.she never went .

Silly me for telling what I saw

Which is why approaching this with caution would be prudent.

That’s just bad theology based on proof-texting.

I think that time has passed. Judgement is what is needed now.

But you haven't yourself even attended that place .videos and chapyt gt can create fake videos .and yet believe this but those who actually operated in gifts and were in as Free says churches where they spoke openly in service in tounges but not interpretation,I know I did and I interpreted and have had visions

I have verified my own non charismatic pastor vision for his church to him .reach Oslo.

Told the Spanish church God would give them a seperate building .now when these came to me .pastor Trevor never told me.i sat one time bored waiting for the doors to open and grabbed a church directory and noticed .I ,Trevor and Jr were the only ones in Oslo ,all others were Vero .I prayed and I thought this is sad.we have the community near it and none attend .it's in an old community building of that same community .

With the Spanish church a pentacostal one .I thought of their testimony through chaplain Mike and how he met don Watkins who build this church and how old desire deep differences we are joined at the hip and then I sensed a time to move away in location .

The assembly of God rejected the spanish branch and they came to don and don let them with the presbytery rent the sanctuary.my pastor has laid oil over there home in prayer.i seek cousel from mike.i have sent Trevor to ask Mike on things as he would be better to defend it .

Mike has verified it.now let it be known that the Spanish church is in spanish only and now English is used.i don't agree with it but it's geared towards immigrants and or boriquos which the pastor is ( boriqua). Mike and many are American and he has led persons to us and we have peshac with them and other joint services to include commeration of church founding .

Mike prays with my churches prayer warrior .
So please .I have had conversations with my pastor on this and was honest on my views.i don't attend to change my church to my views .I attend as led by God .

My church isn't perfect but is great for building men to be fathers and ladies to be wives .it's also known that the women ,wives of elders don't work and raise the kids while the men plow the fields.

I am the exception in that my wife has kids nearly my age when I met her. Every church has its niche.we have this and the pantry .

lord I pray you are wrong but I can't say that it is not gonna happen .

We mock Godly values .
Perverted marriage even before gay rights.

Murder our children and while the overturn of roe was good overall abortions in my state remain lawful and in fact have locally increased

We consume and serve mammon versus the God who created us.

Hollywood,anyone ?

You should limit your comnents to those three churches.

Every church service should be approached with discernment.

Of course using discernment and demeaning ALL people who have been baptised with the Spirit is certainly not the same thing.
 

Manifestations of the tangible Presence of God are good. I'm assuming it's only a matter of time before the enemy gets in the middle of it and the revival starts to dissipate. Unfortunately this would be my expectation rather than it spreading, but all things are possible with God, so who knows.

Regardless, it's good to see young people in America still experiencing the manifest Presence of God. Shows this country still has some roots embedded in the Christian faith, and that's encouraging.

Judgement is definitly needed and is coming for the wicked.

His Spirit is being poured out on America.

God bless America.
