Overview

"Why this book? Why the topic of Revival ? Some of us feel an increasing a hunger for something more than just ""playing church"" and going through the motions of the Christian life. We desire a genuine experience with Christ-for ourselves and for the church. The writer attempts addressing these longings, pointing the way to that deeper experience and warning of some pitfalls along the way. God is calling those who say they are followers of Jesus Christ to forsake the ways of the world and to recommit their lives to Him. It is time for a genuine revival and reformation in God's church. God cannot pour His Spirit on those who profess to be His people until they have experienced true repentance. True Repentance precedes Revival. Ellen G. White wrote, ""The Spirit and power of God will be poured out upon His children"" (True Revival, 19). But it is the responsibility of His children to seek this gift. According to Ellen White, ""the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the church is looked forward to as in the future; but it is the privilege of the church to have it now. Seek for it, pray for it, believe for it. We must have it, and Heaven is waiting to bestow it"" (Evangelism, 701). Being born again, justified, converted is the beginning. But what about growing up into Christ? What about that lifetime experience we sometimes call sanctification? Truly born-again Christians not only talk about Christ but live lives that testify that they are, in fact, followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Spirit-filled life results not only in personal victory over sin but also in a fresh desire and ability to share the Christian life and hope with others. Filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, God's faithful ones will proclaim the final message that will prepare a people for the Lord's return. Satan will do everything in his power to stop it. He will try to convince us that there are shortcuts-easier ways to have the fellowship with God that leads to an empowered Christian life. He will introduce counterfeits for the power of the Spirit-counterfeits so deceptive that if God's people do not maintain a deep, living relationship with Him, based on the Word of God, they will be deceived. This book will, among other things, help the reader to distinguish between the true and the false. Indeed, the writer will seek to expose the fake, expell the illegitimate and usher in the genuine. The curtain of eternity is about to close, In these closing moments of earth's sinful history, surely God's Holy Spirit is ready to give us the power to finish our work for others and the work necessary for ourselves. Perhaps, you will be one through whom God will do something special? May this book help us experience revival and reformation that will prepare you for the latter rain and the soon return of our Lord."
