12 Tevet 5782
The states hit by the outbreak of tornadoes last Friday night, December 10, 2021, lie in what is known as The Bible Belt of America - the stronghold of Evangelical Christianity.
It appears that Kentucky Baptist pastors may be ready to sharpen up a tool that was once a spring and fall staple in churches throughout the commonwealth. For years, Kentucky Baptist churches brought in evangelists for revivals to energize members to evangelize and help them make new believers. But that practice has largely faded away from many churches for a variety of reasons.The Revival in Every Church initiative of the KBC is a way to put it back in the church quiver and remind Kentucky Baptist pastors they have an important tool at their disposal that could make a difference in Kingdom work...."I want churches to intentionally focus on evangelism, the mindset to be on reaching the lost, and revivals help us get there. It helps revive the church to be more evangelistic.”
Wes Fowler thought he’d be safe in church. With a tornado bearing down Friday night, the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Mayfield, Ky., brought his wife and their three sons over to the church for shelter. As things turned out, they would have been better off staying at home.“We were in the basement, so we thought we’d be 100 percent safe,” Fowler says. “But the ceiling tiles in the basement started going up and down, shaking violently, the room filling with debris and dust. We weren’t sure we were going to make it.”...First Baptist was one of several Mayfield churches damaged by the storm. First Presbyterian, First Christian and First Methodist were all destroyed.
DO NOT think for a moment that I do not feel compassion and regret and heartache for these people. I am from the Bible Belt and I was born and raised in Texas and lived and attended college in Kentucky. They are what is often called "salt of the earth" people and I hate that they have to go through this, but the Creator of the world decrees and never without reason. People just do not understand how intolerable it is that they worship a false god and spend their lives trying to convince others to do the same. HKB"H is long-suffering and full of mercy, but there is a limit to it as the Hebrew prophets teach us.
Unfortunately, the American Evangelical churches have new "prophets"...
Jessi Green is a revivalist, full-time missionary, Director of Saturate OC and Co-Lead Pastor of Salt Churches alongside her husband Parker. She is passionate about reaching those that don’t know Jesus and equipping The Church to make disciples and preach the Gospel. She believes that everyone is qualified to share the Good News and teach others to follow Jesus.
Lou Engle is an intercessor for revival, and the visionary co-founder of TheCall, a prayer and fasting movement responsible for gathering hundreds of thousands around the globe.
He has been involved in church planting, establishing prayer movements and strategic houses of prayer ... to ignite reformation prayer into the nations of the earth.
A VOICE TO A GENERATION
... Lou Engle is prophetically declaring that we are on the verge of the 3rd great awakening, and Jesus the evangelist will be manifested in great salvation and deliverance power. A mighty Jesus movement is coming to America, Billy Graham’s mantle is falling on a new generation of evangelists, and streets and stadiums will be filled with a new song of God’s salvation.
Shame on you. Spreading hatered.

Greg Laurie says it is coming and it will restore America to its Christian roots.
Ted Cruz says it is coming and it will propel evangelicals into cultural prominence.
Eric Metaxas and Greg Locke also say it is on its way. God is using the fake 2020 election to trigger a revival of the church.

'Revival or We Die': Why America Needs Another Great Awakening
ReplyDelete09-23-2021
From the nation's capital to the harvest fields in the mid-west, Christians have been crying out to God for spiritual renewal in America. Some believe the nation sits on the brink of collapse, with the only hope being a visitation of God's power and presence.
"Revival or we die," Dr. Michael Brown told CBN News "That's where we have to get. You have to get to a place where you can't live any longer without visitation. It could be personal, personal revival where you know there must be a breakthrough."
Brown asks, "What will heal the deep racial, social, and political divisions that are tearing us apart?"
In his new book, Revival or We Die: A Great Awakening is Our Only Hope, Brown says a revival is vital to see things change.
"America's being torn apart by the seams," explained Brown. "And we've seen that there are no political solutions, there are no social solutions, and the church itself has become impotent. We're at a crisis point in American history where without divine visitation America as we know it could come to an end or could be so marred that the world our kids grow up in will be very, very different."
Dr. Corne Bekker, Dean of Regent University's School of Divinity agrees with Brown's assessment. He says that the country has reached a time of spiritual reckoning.
"I believe America recognizes that politics cannot save her," Bekker said in an interview with CBN News. "Ideology cannot save her. Social change cannot save her. Only the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ."
