Two Absolute Necessities for Real Change, Reform, Revival, for God to Move!

There is a cry by many for revival – as if we are waiting on God. Not. God is waiting on those who call themselves His to repent, to lay down their life in this fleeting world, to deny self, take up the cross and follow Jesus authentically.

People seeking God, hungering for what is missing in their lives – JESUS – is a blessing. We know He is the One doing this because our LORD Jesus Christ told us that He’d “draw all men” to Himself after accomplishing the cross, perfect redemption! (John 12:32; 1 John 4:19) Yet wolves who capitalize upon, who exploit, and make merchandise of these people are diabolical~! (Matthew 21:15-17; 2 Peter 2:1-3, etc.).

The cry of the many for revival is a set up in most cases – where those wolves in sheep’s clothing call for revival while they set up the prey to receive a false “revival” which does not align with what we see in Holy Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17). 

“When you’ve been to as many ‘revivals’ as I have been (in years past) yet never see anything of the Spirit revived in the attendees over several years, you come to realize (discern) that so-called revival meetings are just futile works of the flesh. Romans 8:8 et al.” Disciple of Christ

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

If you want real revival, wait no longer! Don’t wait for some deceiver to announce that “God is moving in this place”! Obey Jesus now! Open God’s real Word, the King James Bible, and read it like your life and eternal souls depend upon it because they do! Come to full repentance. Lay down your life in this fleeting world, deny (disown) your own life, take up the cross (crucified life), and follow Jesus for real! (Luke 9:23-24; 13:3; 14:33; 17:33; 19:27, etc.)

When a man doesn’t open the Bible, the King James Bible, and preach, teach, communicate straight from the Scriptures, you know he’s false (2 Kings 22-23; Nehemiah 8:1-10; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 4:16-17; Acts 17:2; 2 Timothy 4:2, etc.). Oh and this must be constant and perpetual, front and center – not casual or as a trite token gesture or afterthought.

“What we see in 2 Kings 22-23 is totally different than what we see today. Today in what’s falsely called ‘revival’, there is no repentance, no Gospel, no ‘clearing out the sanctuary’, of the idols, and embracing and promoting false teachings that go as far as mysticism and witch craft!!” Khrista

“Bible study on Biblical Revival 2 Kings 22:14-23:27:
Here is the order of events: The prophet(ess) shares a prophecy of judgment. The King repents and intercedes for his people. The Lord hears and delays the judgment for the king’s lifetime. The king gathers all of his people to the Lord’s temple to hear Scripture read out loud. Then the King and his people make (or renew) a covenant with the Lord to follow His decrees and statutes with all of their hearts and minds. Then action is immediately taken (this is faith: belief in action) by clearing out all of the artifacts of pagan gods from the temple. The King defiled all of the high places and tore down the alters of pagan gods where God’s people had previously worshiped Baal, Ashtoreth, and Molech (the god of child sacrifice/abortion).” Renee Courtland

The word “revival” appears nowhere in God’s Word. “Repent”/ “Repentance” appear 72 times. Let’s get a clue. This is a message in and of itself. We don’t need man’s staged “revivals,” we need to repent before a Holy God!

God has not changed (Malachi 3:6; Mark 13:31). Man’s sin has greatly prevented His will and desire to bless, to pour out of His Holy Spirit. His arm is not shortened. When we draw nigh to the LORD, He will draw nigh to us! (READ Isaiah 59:1-2; James 4:8; Jeremiah 5:25; 29:11-14.) We must of absolute necessity come to the lord on His stated terms which begins with true repentance (Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38; 3:19, etc.).

Wicked men have made a multi-million dollar indu$try of “revival” and yet the word nor concept ever appears in Holy Scripture. This is only possible due to the biblical illiteracy of the counterfeits who claim to be saved (Hosea 4:6; Matthew 22:29; 2 Timothy 4:2-4).

“A worldwide revival in the last days is not prophesied in scripture. This is a Vatican, NAR (New Apostolic Reformation), WOF (Word of Faith) false teaching. The Bible teaches there will be great apostasy–a great falling away. Believe the Bible!” Unknown

God Blesses only Where His Written Word is Honored

When God’s Word is honored, thereby, where and when He pours out of His Holy Spirit on His people, it comes in conjunction with His people honoring His Word. Here are but few examples of such:

  • Nehemiah, Ezra and the elders: When the LORD’s people assembled, they read God’s Word directly to the people (Nehemiah 8).
  • Josiah: Reform, repentance, crushing idols, and change came as the Word of God was restored to the people (2 Kings 23).
  • Peter: The apostle preached God’s Word and 8,000 souls were saved (Acts 2, 4).
  • Jesus: When he went into the gathering of the people, He read from the Bible, the book of Isaiah (Luke 4:17).

Change, Reform Comes Only When God is Honored, Where His Word is Front and Center.

“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 2:2

God uses Consecrated Men

Those He uses are holy. They readily admit their sin and fall on the mercy of the LORD and are then forgiven, refreshed, filled, and mightily used of God! See 2 Timothy 2:21; Isaiah 6; Matthew 21:15-17; Matthew 6:6, etc.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.” 2 Chronicles 7:14-16

Only crucified men are raised up and used of God (2 Corinthians 4:10-12).

The church of Philadelphia were commended by Christ. He said they “hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name” (Revelation 3:8). They kept, stayed strictly with and in His Word and continued to proclaim the name above all names – the name of Jesus!

Real vs Fake “Revival”

If we do see a great outpouring, it won’t be with unholy men such as the recent fake, planned, staged deception some called a “revival” promoted by the Vatican, where sodomites and occult labyrinths are celebrated (Asbury). The LORD judges sin like that. He doesn’t bless it. Where the LORD is truly working, God’s Word will be honored, esteemed, read, preached, communicated (Psalms 138:2). That’s how you will know if it’s “of God” or “NOT of God” (John 8:47). Peter PREACHED the Word on Pentecost and 8k souls were saved (Acts 2, 4). Any questions? The cross of Jesus Christ, His blood, and the cross He mandates that we take up will be preached if it’s a move of God. Phony “praise and worship” and “revival” idols will be slain.

Men, women, and children will seek the LORD in repentance. Souls will repent and be saved. Believers will seek and be baptized in the Holy Ghost as it was on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2, 4).

The following prophetic word from our LORD doesn’t indicate large crowds gathered in one specific place. And that makes sense – as God spreads His wealth (Matthew 9:35-38; Mark 16:15; Acts 8:4, etc.).

Acts 2
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Act 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Act 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Act 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
Act 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“The word revival, a synonym for it is rebirth. Now to be reborn is in the Bible is it not? Our country needs a serious case of rejuvenation. The Holy Spirit needs to set some folks on fire for Jesus.”

REPLY:

Yes God has not changed, and His arm, His power is not shortened or diminished whatsoever (Malachi 3:6;). Repentance is where revival begins. Read Isaiah 59:1-2…. we are NOT waiting on God – He’s waiting on individuals to repent and obey Him. James 4:8

Those not willing to die are unrepentant, loving their darkness, rather than light, rather than the light of truth given us of God in His Word (Psalms 119:105, 130; John 17:17, etc.). They are unrepentant. You can either die to self now in this temporal world, lay down your life and follow Jesus authentically, OR you will die the “second death” as you are cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15).

“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19-21

One disple writes:

“War makes many rich also. Yet the biblically illiterate support it and offer their children to Molech, believing they do God a service thereby. Just like the unsaved, they honor veterans as much as their apostate pastors.

Revivals are un-scriptural yet are so honored by the masses that few if any test (try) the spirits underlying them to know if they are of God or not. Most are content to look on outward appearance to judge, directly contradicting the command of Jesus Christ, who instructed us to ‘Judge righteous judgment’ (John 7:24).”

Jon Crane writes:

“I hear it all the time and I get chided, as if something is wrong with me for not praying for revival in America. Problem is: what is called the church today is under the impression that Americans as a whole are saved and just need reviving. Probably due to hirelings and wolves subtly preaching replacement theology for a long, long time. The remedy will always be the gospel of the kingdom of God, preached, adhered too, and followed daily. For nothing else saves but the blood of Jesus Christ, nothing else redeems or heals us of the disease of sin.”

Either Crucify the Flesh or it will Crucify Christ out of Your Life [podcast]


Fight the temptation or die the death?

Where’s the victory come from?

The Cross – something counterfeits intentionally evade (Philippians 3:18-19). The cross is how we know who is real and who is fake. Refusing to take up the cross means one has denied Christ. This would account for the vast majority of men in ministry today. They are cross-less.

The only people who are truly following Christ are those who are doing it HIS way – and His stated way is the cross, the crucified life (Luke 9:23-24). There is no other way to follow Jesus.

If we don’t crucify the flesh, the evil deeds of the body, the flesh will crucify Christ out of our lives. Pray and read Romans 6 each morning this week.

Jesus conquered sin, death, and Satan by dying and not by first rising up (Hebrews 2:14). This is how we also are brought forth into His victory by Him – through our own weakness. Let’s give our ear to hear Christ’s apostle Paul:

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

It’s interesting that the vast majority of pastors today insist that it’s impossible to stop sinning and be delivered – as if Jesus failed, didn’t provide a perfect redemption that dealt with past, present, and future sin and complete victory through it all (1 Corinthians 15:57-58; Titus 2:11-14).

“If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. … 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:31-32, 36

Victory and our place with Christ are contingent upon our continuing in His truth, abiding, remaining in Christ after He saves us (John 15:1-6).

They have no faith in the overcoming grace of Christ but instead treat it like a license to justify their sin, as they pretend to be trusting God by grace and faith… yet they never make the connection that Jesus came to redeem us and establish us with Him in His holiness as we look with joy for His soon return (Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15-16, etc). | Walking in the Full Victory of Christ!

The cross is surrendering. Don’t try harder, just die deeper!

The reason so many don’t take sin seriously and sit under sin-justifying wolves in sheep’s clothing, is because they do not fear nor take God seriously. Then they attack the true messengers of Christ who are declaring that God is holy and His requirement is non-negotiable: that anyone who will know and be with Him eternally cut off occasion for all sin as Jesus commanded in Mark 9:43-49 KJB. They talk about grace but only in the respect that their sins were initially forgiven, yet never in respect to divine grace being the divine influence and enablement in their daily lives to overcome all that displeases Him – as they worshipfully with great gratitude deny self, take up the cross and follow, abide in Jesus (Titus 2:11-14; Luke 9:23-24; John 15:1-6, etc.).

Death, Burial, Resurrection – You go down and God raises you up, daily. That’s the Gospel re-enacted in your daily life. There’s no other way to walk with, to follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-24).

“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12

Once He shows you this cross revelation it’s over for your sin and Satan! This is the way we “Taste and see that the LORD is good” beloved (Psalms 34:8). The divine economy is a cross economy which cannot be short circuited. There are no shortcuts.

The safest place in His Universe is for us to be “HID with Christ in God.” How does such occur? (Colossians 3:1-4)

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3

The more His Word runs rich in your spirit, soul, and mind, the richer, the more cutting and divinely blessed your praying is going to become.

We are crucified with Christ today saints. Christ alone is reigning supreme in us, raising us up out of that death and burial posture. In Jesus’ Name, the “old man” is dead and buried and Christ now lives and reigns in His resurrection power in our lives through us! (See Ephesians 4:22-24.)

Say, pray, memorize Galatians 2:20 beginning right now. Let it be the original Gospel anthem of your life from this day forward.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

Becoming prayerfully and steadily saturated in the cross message, concept, and application, is the only thing that brought a consistent victory over sin to this disciple.

In the divine economy, the death and burial guarantees the resurrection!

When we His people are dead and buried, His resurrection power is guaranteed. Nothing could stop the resurrection of Jesus Christ when the stone was rolled away! And nothing can stop the resurrection power of Christ working in His saints as they lay down their lives in this fleeting world!

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” John 11:25

Must Take a Ruthless Stand

Concerning the necessity of a ruthless perspective toward the flesh via the cross, we must recognize that the flesh is a terrorist which means it cannot be negotiated with.

Yet there must be forged in us a ruthless perspective, toward our perception of the “never-going-to-die” flesh, a veritable terrorist with which you cannot negotiate or give place to. It will not die until forced, therefore the disciple must take a ruthless posture toward it – showing no mercy to the enemy of God! See Romans 6, 8; Galatians 5.

Never ever underestimate the depth of the deceit that is in the fallen human heart, human nature 1 (Corinthians 10:12; Hebrews 3:12-14; Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9).

We must allow no mercy for what God calls sin…the iniquities, the relentless evil within. It must be honestly dealt with, and perhaps we can observe that there are onion-type layers of evil, of deceit that we are buried in from which only God calls us and brings us forth (Proverbs 8:13; Psalms 97:10;  Mark 9:43-49).

While Satan and his masquerading ministers seek to diminish the violation and penalty of sin, Jesus exponentially heightens our awareness of sin’s offense against a holy God when He warns us to cut off the hand and pluck out the eye that cause us to offend Him (Mark 9:43-49).

There is nothing in existence more important to stay safe from than HELL. That’s exactly what Jesus Christ taught. Read Mark 9:43-50 in the King James Bible (new versions have butchered that passage).

Rom 7. The cross must be applied with no respect to the evil desires, the sinful dictates of the flesh.

Our outlook toward the flesh should be “kill or be killed.”

“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” Romans 8:13

Kill or be killed – picture yourself being put in a room, locked in with just one opponent. Only one of you will be exiting.

A showdown – conquer or be conquered.

Life or death.

Sink or swim.

“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:27

Either the cross will keep you from sin or sin will keep you from the cross.

“The Cross = The Signature of Jesus.” A disciple

“WHEN THOU WAS LITTLE IN THINE OWN SIGHT”

The LORD removed Saul from his place of kingship due to the pride found in his heart that previously was not there. We must remain humble before our God and the only way this can happen is the daily cross.

“And Samuel said, WHEN THOU WAS LITTLE IN THINE OWN SIGHT, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?” 1 Samuel 15:17

The Bible clearly teaches us that if we do not obey the LORD, He will replace us. We are not irreplaceable and only pride in the heart of a person would convince him of such a lie.

When Esther was called upon by the LORD to go before her husband, the king of Persia, and intercede for the people of God, she was warned that if she chose not to obey God, she’d be replaced and her father’s house destroyed.

“For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14

Ruthless simply and only applies to the PERSPECTIVE the believer must take toward the terrorist, the flesh.

There can be no concession, no compromise, no negotiating with the flesh. It must die and that only happens as we submit to the LORD.

The flesh will never be reformed, it is inherently evil, and must be crucified.

Those who’ve been saved and aren’t learning the daily cross, the crucified life, will never grow in Christ. The cross life is at the center of the kingdom economy of Christ. There are no shortcuts. Jesus taught that in order to follow Him, we must “deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23-24). Any person whom Jesus has saved and isn’t learning the daily cross, is not truly following Jesus. Listen to the Lamb:

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” Luke 9:23-24

PRAYER: Holy Father, in Jesus’ Name, please do Your deeper work in me. Bless this life You died for to be truly crucified with Christ. Please make me Your authentic disciple. Cut away, circumcise every falsity, fakery, deceitful thing from my heart – everything that defiles me in Your holy eyes. Use me LORD, please. I love You. In the name of Jesus, amen.

“And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be Preached in all the World” [podcast]


“All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:8-14

The true remnant of Christ are known in that they are enduring to the end in the midst of iniquity, abounding and preaching the Gospel of Jesus the King to the world.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”  Mark 16:15

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, admitting I have been living for my own evil glory. I am a sinner. I’ve committed the sin of idolatry, having myself first instead of You. I admit here and now before You that I have been committing the damning sin of spiritual adultery. I have claimed to know You and yet refused to uncompromisingly adhere to Your Word. Here and now, right now if never before, I repent and ask You to forgive my sins and to wash me afresh from my sins in the precious blood of Jesus Christ my LORD. Into Your hands I commend, I submit my spirit, my life, right this moment and ask You dear LORD to fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me to preach Your glorious message of repentance to those around me so that they can receive the forgiveness of all their sins and walk in the times of refreshing from Your holy presence dear LORD. I love You Jesus. I am all Yours and I know You are all mine. In Jesus’ Name amen.
