I want to invite all of us to equalize or unify the perceptions we have about ‘the Coming Revival’ that will visit Indonesia and even other nations.
1. THE COMING REVIVAL FOR INDONESIA WILL NEVER BE CENTERED ON A ‘SPIRITUAL REVIVAL WORSHIP’ LED BY A GREAT, FAMOUS EVANGELIST OR SPIRITUAL LEADER.
The coming revival begins with a group of believers who are determined to build their personal connectedness with their Father in heaven. This connectedness occurs because they open themselves to be led or guided by a spiritual father, so that they can always enjoy the rivers of living water that originates from the throne room to be able to flow abundantly in their daily lives.
Read: Malachi 4:5-6; John 10:10, 14:6, 14:15-23; 1 Corinthians 4:15-17; Ezekiel 47:1-12, Revelation 21:3-4.
The rivers of living water gushing profusely in the daily lives of believers, will make them always enjoy ‘Personal Revival’.
2. WE MUST DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN ‘REVIVAL MEETING’ AND ‘PERSONAL REVIVAL’ WHICH EVERY BELIEVER SHOULD ENJOY EVERY DAY.
In revival meetings, we tend to only focus on one service to the next. With hope, through the revival meeting (worship) that is being held, we will experience God’s visitation.
In personal revival, every believer is encouraged and trained to pray in such a way that the rivers of living water that God has “instilled” in his spiritual man will continue to flow and radiate divine life. Thus, their daily lives will always be surrounded or controlled by peace and joy which are divine and will even be contagious to many people.
This is the revival atmosphere that every believer should always enjoy. By having a personal connection with the Father, there will always be a revival atmosphere in the lives of every believer!
3. WE WILL ALWAYS ENJOY PERSONAL REVIVAL IN DAILY LIFE WHEN WE DIRECTLY PERFORM OUR PRIEST DUTIES BEFORE GOD.
What is meant by the duty of the priesthood is the same as building a healthy personal fellowship and continuing to grow with the existence of the Father himself. Every morning we must:
a. Ensure there is always a flow of worship flowing swiftly from within us.
If there is no flow of worship or we feel that it is disturbed, then we must immediately carry out spiritual warfare to expel all attempts by the devil to block the flow of worship within us. Do the declaration of the Word and clean the spiritual atmosphere that is in our lives.
With the flow of worship within us, it shows that the Holy Spirit is drawing us closer to the Father. Keep worshiping until we feel our inner heart overflowing with ‘satisfaction’ with God’s existence.
b. Ensuring that the dynamics and work of the Holy Spirit in our lives continues to be strong!
There is always a stream of joy, a peace that surpasses understanding, a firm hope, a faith that overcomes the world and the unconditional love of Christ burning within us! In fact, oftentimes we can feel the dynamics and work of the Spirit in a real way affecting our outer body. Without the influence and power of the Holy Spirit continuing to burn our hearts, our lives will be like a dead torch.
c. Ensuring the coming of God’s Word, direction and voice speaking within us.
Always realize that men need God in order to live normally! The measure of ‘need the Word’ that I mean even exceeds our physical needs, namely eating and drinking.
That’s why, we must train our being to never stop our prayer or worship before the Father gives His Word.
This Word is the sword of the Spirit in our lives, to ensure that in our daily lives we are always victorious and, in a position, to reign or rule like kings on this earth.
This message will continue again tomorrow.
