    ENDORSEMENTS ack in the summer of , while living in Argentina I remem- Bber one day walking into our office to find Steve prostrate on the floor crying out to God. Tis was very normal in our house, but this time what I heard him saying was so intense. He was saying, “God, I don’t want to work for You in my own strength…I want You to do Your work through me.” I backed out and sat down in the hall engulfed in God’s presence and started crying and agreeing say- ing, “Yes God, do it Lord, hear his cry, oh God.” Serving God before that day had been very exciting and fruitful, but God birthed in us that day a hunger for more. We wanted it to be so evident that the things done through our lives and ministry could only be done by God Himself. My prayer is that this book, Te Fire Tat Never Sleeps, will stir in everyone who reads it a hunger for God—that they will fight through every distraction to obtain it. JERI HILL President of Steve Hill Ministries Wife of the late Evangelist, Steve Hill In The Fire That Never Sleeps, Dr. Michael Brown, John Kil- patrick, and Larry Sparks help us understand what revival really means. I deeply respect these men of God and am grateful for the part they played in the Brownsville Revival. Dr. Brown writes with such clarity and anointing, dedicated to seeking the truth. Each one of us should be pursuing revival in our lives and on the earth with passion to see God’s love and power in greater measure.

  • Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals
    EVANGELICAL REVIVALS IN NEW ZEALAND -----//----- A History of Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals. -----//----- by Robert Evans and Roy McKenzie. -----//----- Published by the Authors, in conjunction with ColCom Press. PREFACE Many years of experience in the Lord's work, and the relative ease of retirement from parish responsibilities, have provided both of us with the time to carry out a work of love in presenting to the public this history of evangelical revivals in New Zealand. It is an aspect of the work of God which we believe is of enormous importance, both for church and for society, but which has been widely neglected for many years. The research for this book has relied, in the first instance, upon our privately-owned library resources. The main public libraries to which we are indebted are the New South Wales Uniting Church Archives Library and the Camden Library of the United Theological College, both in North Parramatta, the Hewitson Library of the Knox Theological Hall in Dunedin, the John Deane Memorial Library of the Bible College of New Zealand in Auckland (formerly The New Zealand Bible Training Institute), the Moore College Library (Anglican) in Sydney, and the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington. We also acknowledge the help of Miss Ferne Weimer, Director of the Billy Graham Center Library, in Wheaton, Illinois. We have also been indebted to many individuals. Chief amongst these have been the Rev. Dr. J. Graham Miller, now living in Wangaratta, Victoria, Dr. Brett Knowles of Dunedin, and the Rev. John Thomson, now living in Nelson.

  • The Florida 'Outpouring' Revival
    PentecoStudies, vol. 8, no. 1, 2009, p. 37–57 Stephen Hunt, The Florida ‘Outpouring’ Revival ISSN 1871-777691 The Florida ‘Outpouring’ Revival A Melting Pot for Contemporary Pentecostal Prophecy and Eschatology? Stephen Hunt University of the West of England A decade after the neo-Pentecostal revivals of the 1990s a fresh wave of revival, characterised by miraculous healings and evangelism, became identified with what was colloquially referred to as the ‘Florida Outpouring’. Unlike the earlier so-called Toronto Blessing and the Brownsville revivals, that at Lakeland, Florida, was relatively short-lived. It became practically synonymous with the charismatic personality of the healing evangelist, Todd Bentley. This paper considers the Florida ‘Outpouring’ and Bentley’s prophetic role in forging revivalism within the framework of neo-Pentecostal eschatology and thus providing a sense of continuity with past and future revivals. Pentecostalism has proved to be a multi-faceted and rapidly evolving Christian movement leading to the speculation that it now consists of numerous ‘Pentecostalisms’ (Robeck 1999). Nevertheless, certain core characteristics remain discernible among the movement’s various ‘streams’. This includes, as a universal mark of both ‘classical’ Pentecostalism and the latter-day neo-Pentecostals (charismatics), the enduring hope of a global revival and the mass conversion of unbelievers before Christ’s Second Coming. This hope was encapsulated throughout the 1990s – a decade which saw a series of revivals breaking out in North America that proved to have global significance, each carrying a notable eschatological narrative. Perhaps the most noteworthy was the well-known revival in Toronto, Canada, which became associated with the so-called ‘Toronto Blessing’ with its controversial range of ecstatic and esoteric manifestations typified by ‘holy laughter’.

  • Karin J News – November 2013 the Marketplace Movement
    Karin J News – November 2013 The Marketplace Movement... 7 Mountains... Todd Bentely = NARian Dear friends in Christ Jesus, Time is passing by so fast and so much is going on... so many new things happening all the time... I have collected so much information and I feel overwhelmed and hardly know where to begin... I've said it before, say it again: it is like Tsunami waves pouring across our countries to overtake Christianity, and at all costs tries to defeat it... Time has not been on my side – have simply not had the time, but have been writing a little at a time – slowly but surely... have not felt any pressure to be finished at a certain time... therefore some information are a little "old" – but still important! If we go back to 2008; it was actually "thanks to" Todd Bentley and the so-called "Lakeland Revival" which caused me to start write "newsletters"! I received an e-mail written by Andrew Strom warning about this "revival" in Lakeland, where he publicly distanced himself from the Prophetic and Apostolic Network... See PDF #1 - A FALSE HEALING REVIVAL, Lakeland, Florida. I immediately took the warning to my heart and forwarded it to my brothers and sisters in the Lord... Personally, I had not heard about this "revival" because I found myself in the U.S. and have no TV and do not follow God TV or other "Christian TV"... BUT my father in Sweden had heard from a pastor who was going to Lakeland to "bringing home the anointing"... It made me react strongly and by a trustworthy source, I got this letter/e-mail written by Andrew Strom.

  • The Contemporary Church (1914-Present) – the Charismatic Movement
    KNOW YOUR CHURCH HISTORY (23) The Contemporary Church (1914-present) – The Charismatic Movement A. Introduction 1. The Contemporary Church is the period of church history from the start of the Great War in 1914 through to the present day. A period of church decline (in the West) and suffering, yet a time of great growth with the church going global. It is also a period marked by the emergence and growth of four movements: i) The Ecumenical Movement; ii) The Charismatic Movement; iii) The Evangelical Movement; and iv) the New Calvinist Movement. The focus of the Ecumenical Movement is unity, as Christians of different denominations and traditions seek to overcome those divisions that have separated them historically. The unity which the Ecumenical Movement has pursued is a unity at all costs rather than one based on a shared truth with a clear doctrinal statement of core evangelical beliefs to define and delimit membership. The result of this is that the Ecumenical Movement has undermined the message of good news for sinners, failed to build believers up in the truth, and has robbed God of His glory by misrepresenting Him and His Word. 2. Another movement which has emerged and grown is the Charismatic Movement which had a renewed focus on the work of the Holy Spirit – the third person of the Trinity. This is a significant movement. In loose terms, 1 in 4 Christians (approx. 500 million) worldwide are ‘Charismatic’. A large number of evangelicals would call themselves ‘Pentecostal’ or ‘Charismatic’. It is the fastest growing sector of Christendom. This is a split movement.

  • Pentecostalism and Sustainability
    Pentecostalism and sustainability: conflict or convergence? Kylie Sheppard B.Eng(Env) (Hons) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2006 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ……………………………………………………………. Kylie Louise Sheppard ii Abstract Sustainability has become a prominent global project through which peoples and nations are seeking to alleviate poverty and stop environmental degradation. This thesis explores the contribution that Pentecostalism, a global religious movement of some 500 million people, can make to this project at the several levels of practice, political-economy and philosophy. After an initial chapter where the challenges and dimensions of the sustainability project are outlined, the development and characteristics of Pentecostalism as a dynamic global movement are reviewed. This sets the context for a central empirical case study of Citipointe Christian Outreach Centre (a Pentecostal megachurch in Brisbane, Australia). Survey data, content analysis of sermons, and in-depth interviews show how one particular congregation is engaging with the social, economic and environmental issues of sustainability. I conclude that although Citipointe’s engagement with sustainability issues at a practical level is weak, their demonstrated commitment to community building and the congregation’s shared worldview indicate potential for a more constructive engagement. In light of global Pentecostal praxis I suggest that Pentecostalism holds greater potential to engage with sustainability than is being realised at Citipointe. This thesis contributes to our understanding of how and why Pentecostals are already engaging in social, economic and environmental issues.

  • Contemporary Revivals
    Contemporary Revivals 2016 John Hayward www.churchmodel.org.uk Revivals in the Christian church are not just facts of history, they are occurring now. However it is much harder to discern which movements are genuine God-sent revivals and which are just a fad. Revivals are mixed works, a bit of God, a bit of man, so there is not always a clear dividing line. The passage of time helps in making a fair assessment of a movement, but when a movement is in action, or in recent memory, such an evaluation is not fully possible. This article describes a number of candidates for revival that have occurred in the West since the 1960s. Introduction Revivals are an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that makes salvation in Christ, and the presence of God, real in the experience of people. It spreads in an epidemic-type fashion because revived Christians are so changed that they "infect" others around them. Other believers see more of Jesus in them than they thought possible and want the same. Unbelievers see what they look like in the sight of God, compared with the revived Christians, and repent and believe. Either way a revived Christian attracts others and cause a change. As a preacher once said "When you set yourself on fire for God, people love to come and see you burn."1 Such revived Christians are one example of enthusiasts in the Limited Enthusiasm model of church growth. The rapid growth follows from the attention that the revived Christians have in their social networks. However there is a downside, as revivals have opposition; that is there are people who do not approve of this behaviour.

  • GLORY by Ruth Ward Heflin
    RevivalRevivalRevival GloryGloryGlory “The glory of God is bringing revival, and if we want more revival we must make room for the glory. This is the great- est need of the hour.” Page 239 “Our failure to make room for the glory in our services is the most common reason that the glory is not seen and ex- perienced in church after church across America and around the world. I believe that most of the necessary elements are in place, but we simply don’t give God a chance. We don’t make room for Him to work. We don’t make room for the glory.” Page 239 “It is not for us to say how the glory will affect us. We must make room for God to do in us what He wants.” Page 246 “Prophecy is the voice of revival. Let your prophetic voice bring forth the revival. You’ll save yourself thousands of hours of vain activities.” Page 91 “Revival is bringing an acceleration of the purposes of God in the Earth, and an important part of the revival is the revealing to us of our Bridegroom.” Page 281 “If you have been sidetracked by trying a particular method that has borne fruit for someone else, turn back to find the Lord’s presence. He is more important than a method, a system, or a program. Come back to the simplicity of His presence.” Page 151 “Under the cloud is the only place of safety. It is the only place of divine health. It is the only place of guaranteed provision.

  • The Toronto Blessing: Key to Evaluating Recent Revivals
    THE TORONTO BLESSING: KEY TO EVALUATING RECENT REVIVALS Jordan P.

Pentecostal and charismatic1 churches generally embraced the revivals at Toronto (1994), Pensacola (1995-2000), Lakeland (2008), and Mobile (2010) as genuine works of the Holy Spirit, but non-charismatic Christians are often unsure of what to think. On the one hand, Christians do not want to be so gullible that they believe any miracle report or legitimize any manifestation as authentic. On the other hand, Christians do not want to attribute the work of the Holy Spirit to the flesh or to the devil. Evaluating any revival movement is therefore a serious undertaking, but conclusions must be drawn after close inspection. This paper will argue that the Toronto Blessing, from which the subsequent revivals were spawned, was not a genuine revival of God because of its promotion of signs and wonders (in place of repentance and salvation), its misguided emphasis upon the Holy Spirit (in place of Jesus Christ), and its counterfeit manifestations which are not from the Holy Spirit.
