Revival is of no necessity when man is content to live and serve from his own humanity and resources.
Revival becomes an absolute necessity in the light of the purposes of God.
Our prayer must begin at the cross of Christ – where man is reduced and God becomes all.
This world is in desperate need of open, cross-marked hearts, with a willingness to serve God and man.
Save us from the man-pleaser. . .
Save us from the organizer. . .
Bring forth the agonizer. . .
Save us from the complacent, shallow-minded man. . .
Save us from the patterns of the world. . .
Bring forth men who dare stand alone, for the sake of apprehending what is godly. . .

The Cross of Christ helps humility. . .
The Cross, rightly apprehended, brings life – a humble, godly way of living.
May such a work begin among the leadership in our modern Christianity.

The leprous testimony:
Knowing theology, but no inner spiritual reality.
Ability to discuss religious issues, but never bringing life.
Hanging out with the right company, but no ability to serve.
Words without a history with God.
Don’t we need a change? Pray for it. Repent to come alive.

some verses for meditation and prayer:
EDIT: I have put in my own thoughts how these verses spoke to me relating revival and the conferance.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Gal 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
God must be our goal, I think of bro Denny yesterday, Revival is nothing other then God. Can revival happened? is God alive? yes... but our aim must be right, it must be on God
1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
am I ready to suffer for him? be his vessel to bring about revival? may he use me in praying and fasting for revival? not just for my own sake, but for Gods purposes on earth. Am I ready to be broken and suffer the cost of what it takes to pray?
2Ki 22:8 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
2Ki 22:9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.
2Ki 22:10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
2Ki 22:11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
2Ki 22:12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,
2Ki 22:13 Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.
Is my hearts as this kings heart was to ward the Word? I think of the Zulu revival and what bro Denny also shared yesterday, maybe it is something wrong with me? maybe it is I who stand in the way of God?
May we be ready to obey the word in smallest detail.
Having watched the so called prayer concert preceding the first gathering of the revival conference in Canton, I was amazed by the lack of life and fervency in prayer.
It is as if there is a word from the Lord regarding the lack of seasoned intercessors, willing agonizers, a people who offer themselves willingly in the day of Thy power.
There is certainly peace and tranquillity where death is present. The life and peace offered by the Lord is indeed energizing. It produces a sobering of the mind, it refreshes the inner man, it builds confidence and creates a company of committed.
We need to pray for an opening of the inner eyes and ears of the partakers in the conference to be able to become partakers in the Holy Calling unto heavenly duty.

What we are interested here in the prayer chamber are words, sanctified thinking brought forth during prayer regarding revival and the growth of the inner man for the sake of establishing heavenly realities.
Quoting the bible without aim is not very productive.
Use the Word of God, but tell us what you are using it for. . .

Revival is a must where our love is reduced to sentimental affinity, reduced to an attitude which, among other things, bravely dismiss the absoluteness of the Cross including its irrevocability in regards to the eradicating of sin and the process of making saints.
Sinners cannot sit at ease in Zion.
Complacency thrives where the judgment of God is abandoned in Christian thinking.

Hello... new to forum... but have been on sermonindex many times. Wanted to come to the Revival Conference, but did't get to due to care of my elderly mother. Watching it on the webcast ... terrific. Am praying with all of you for Genuine Revival ... We desperately need a fresh move of God in our personal and corporate lives. Prayer, brokenness and repentance will fan the flame of revival ... At 59, I have come to realize that brokenness may have to come again and again ... oh the longsuffering and faithfulness of our God.
Ps 51:17
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.

Revival holds a returning to origins, a turning back to original intentions and purposes. The new, that which is truly alive and full of life, is that which is properly anchored in the old, in what God has stated as absolutes. The Father brings newness of life by taking His people back to beginnings. It is no small thing, it is indeed a tremendous task to recover and settle in the purposes of God.
Man is not sufficient for this. Human enthusiasm and effort will not level with the standards of Heaven. God is the originator of the retracing of the paths of old, of an ascent to the holy hill of Zion. “A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.” Jer 17:12.

Revival holds a specific and definitive authentification of the Church. A returning to the eternal purposes of God holds an ever growing correspondence to that which is to be found in Christ. Maturity equals christlikeness. The fruits of the presence of God in His Church are signs and wonders which cannot be spoken against. Fidelity, faithfulness, perseverance, veracity, godliness and humility are all aspects of the priestly ministry of reconciliation – these things are from God, signs of His presence and wondrous operations of the Law of the Spirit of Life; 2 Cor 5:18, Rom 8:1-2.

Quality, otherness, plumb line and a solid and sensible testimony by the indwelling Holy Spirit are words and concepts describing the content of the authentification of the Church. The very heart of the reviving influence is something which cannot be explained in human terms, it is an element brought in into human existence which has its origin in a realm beyond the created world. One small sentence summarises: “As in Heaven, so on Earth” – a prayer to be prayed, a measuring rod to be applied, a state and order of being to be pursued.

The necessity of correspondence, the call for veracity, the common loss of dignity and majesty and the absence of the glory of God are major incitements opening man’s heart and the content of the speaking into his conscience driving him to prayer for revival. “Thou son of man, show the House to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities and let them measure the pattern.” Eze 43:10.
The revival to be expected in the near future is one which focuses the House of the Lord and the Throne to be established among the people of God. “You are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.” Ef 2:22. This building will by its very presence tell about Heaven in a manner which only Heaven itself can speak. The Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Holiness is the Spirit of prophecy testifying to the work and presence of Jesus Christ among His people, in His people. The purpose of revival is the formation of a people for His praise in the very knowledge of the holy. Isa 43:21, Prov 9:10.
The revival which by necessity lies ahead, which is prepared and made ready for God’s Zion, for the assembly of the hungry, for the company of the committed, for the solemn gathering of peacemakers, this revival will produce a call to the people of God to represent fullness, the attaining to the measure and stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ, the growing up in all aspects unto Him. The revival which by necessity lies ahead will present the possibility for a renewal of minds and hearts, a putting on of the new self which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. Its keyword ought to be correspondence, a sacrificial identification with the fundamental purposes of God, a state of being and a mode of operation in which – only in which – the glory of God may be expected to be seen and experienced.

The New Covenant = you believe, I do

Revival is an ever present reality-- Carter Conlon via webcast.
Walkington, your doctrine is really shakey and very unscriptural. You must exercise fleshly repentance which doesn't really produce an inward change, I doubt that you have the power of God to heal the sick or raise the dead or pray a sinner into heaven without speaking a single word, as a matter of fact, I'll bet you can't really recall when the last time was that you had a prayer answered by God that was impossible to be answered by anyother means but by God.
Excuse me, I have been watching some on the web but mostly listening since the video was to choppy. I've followed your prayer postings and find your use of the word more like that of whitchcraft that anything, here is what u said: (Use the Word of God, but tell us what you are using it for.) We dont use the word of god like a credit card to get what we want or manipulate others through soulish incantations from gods wholly bible.
your prayers are soulish, not of gods spirit and from the word of god i can show you if youd like?.
Dorcas, I saw on your other post that Carter preached "Love one another" - wish I could have heard it. Thanks for any notes.

Earlier though, Don Courville the moderator said he didn't know how the meetings were going to be reproduced, yet (eg DVD) but... In other words, there was a strong implication that Greg will be working on an answer to that question, which is yet to be announced.
Possibly you will be able to download on to CD or DVD from a broadband outlet at a library - whether to watch, or listen only. Audio only is already available for download and most of the talking has been reasonably short - each less than an hour.
If you look at the ipod option in the Revival Conference links, I think it will tell you how many minutes. By tomorrow, they may all go on a three or four 80 minute cds for you.
Hello markhamJ,
I wonder if you are new to SI, because you appear to be unaware of one of our most dearly held conventions here...? That rather than directing our comments in a questioning way at the spiritual character of another poster, we look more closely at the topic they are addressing, and if possible, by a clearer exposition, show them a better way to understand it.
The scripture has an example of how this can be done:
Acts 18
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, [i]and
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, [b]they took him unto them, and[u]expounded unto him the way of God [i]more perfectly
In this thread, the topic is prayer, and what we are looking to God to work in us.
If I may add,
is not a universal standard by which to judge whether a person knows the Lord, nor to know whether he is being obedient to his calling in God.I doubt that you have the power of God to heal the sick or raise the dead
If these are part of [i]your
If I may speak for the majority of believers that use this site. We are a people that want God to move in extraordinary ways, and to see souls saved in mass droves. Each called out one that uses this site has such a reverence for the word of God that they are careful how they "use" the word of God. We have been down the road with the "name and claim it" Carleton's, but we have found that there was no life there. We also have been where the legalists were and the liberals, but we found death in both camps. Now we have settled into where we are clinging to the cross of Christ and taking the faith that has been given to us and have given our lives over to the one that we can trust in bringing us into that rest.I've followed your prayer postings and find your use of the word more like that of witchcraft that anything, here is what u said: (Use the Word of God, but tell us what you are using it for.) We don't use the word of god like a credit card to get what we want or manipulate others through soulish incantations from gods wholly bible.
Even though some of us may be still children and we will quote scriptures over and over again thinking that it will somehow get into our spirit. It should not be considered witchcraft, rather a growing process. I used to be so much like this, but I have grown in the LORD and that method has dropped off me just as the Apostle Paul once said, "they perish with the using". Of course he was speaking about "taste not, touch not, handle not", I think we can apply it to this as well.
Nay, we are careful to even open our bibles today, because the mirror of Gods word is pointing back at us if we ever use it to satisfy self. Yes, you'll find the odd arrogant fellow believer that dawns our forum and speaks words like that of a "Blab and Grabbed it" type spirit who abuses the word of God to satisfy his lustful desires.
But then again, there is nothing wrong in quoting scriptures over and over again. It all depends on our motive. I may be deep in prayer even intercessory prayer and the only words that keep flowing from lips are, "Oh LORD... in wrath remember mercy" Hab3:2
Our motive must be right.
Thank you Mark for your admonition, it was a good reminder to keep us all in check. Praise the LORD!
Church – a setting in which brokenness has opened for Life to minister.
I think that these statements regarding prayer and revival are worth looking and praying through over and over again.
I dare to add a quote from Ravenhill’s “Sodom had no Bible”:
“I am convinced that in the current welter of confusion, theological as well as moral, there are still many asking, ‘Is there any word from the Lord?’ They are not interested, preacher-friend, in your theological juggling act, your elastic vocabulary, your re-hashing of some recent political event or the near doom of the stock-market. They want the word of Redemption.”
I think that these statements regarding prayer and revival are worth looking and praying through over and over again.
I dare to add a quote from Ravenhill’s “Sodom had no Bible”:
I fully agree I have printed them out and look and prayed over them. What a blessing they have been for me. Why? they are a everyday brother, speaking from his heart of what God is showing him. This is beaitful to me. THis brother, prayer and speaks. What a wonderful joy to see the heart of one brother. I can see that this brother is a Man of God. A man of prayer. A Man to be honor and repected. He may not be a Pastor I don't care he is kind and loving and has a heart that is after God. That is something to honor. He is real and open with other. Don't miss my brother, Here a great man of God. To be thanked. Thank you walkington
In Christ
