The Radical Truth

The life and ministry of John the Baptist was prophesied about in Isaiah chapter 40. Using verses 1-5 we have been for the last couple of weeks learning what these verses have to teach us about authentic revival. As we look at John, whose ministry it was to prepare the way for Messiah to come to His people, we will see how this truth relates to the true church, who is called of God to prepare the way for the Holy Spirit to come to those who are genuine followers of the Savior.

We will take an honest look at John the Baptist in this lesson and see that he was a radical that loved God supremely. Jesus called him the greatest prophet that ever was because he prepared the way for the promised Messiah to come to His people. Here is a powerful truth about revival; if there is no John the Baptist kind of people to prepare the way for the Lord to come to His people, then revival will be kept from the church and nation. The Lord is looking for men and women that will stand in the gap to be agents of revival. We are in desperate need of such saints.

How are we to prepare the way for revival to come to our lives, families, churches, communities and nation? This is the subject of this lesson in our continuing series on revival. We will only start examining how to prepare for revival and will pick up in the next couple of lesson this extremely important subject. Accounts from the Hebrides Awakening are interwoven into this lesson. This is a really good one so don't miss it.

How does genuine revival come to a church, community or nation? Through revival praying and this is the subject of this extremely important lesson.

In this lesson on revival we will examine the importance that a passion to seek the face of God plays in praying for revival. This is not only a very important message, it's is the source of greatest joy to the true follower of Jesus.

This lesson is on character and how the condition of our character will either be a catalyst for genuine revival or will grieve the Holy Spirit, who is the agent of revival. Without a godly character there will be no revival in our own life or in the local church. This is an extremely important message.

Since God is holy, He commands His followers to be holy. In our continuing series on revival, we will see how personal holiness is integral to an authentic outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

The holiness of God as it is revealed in authentic revival is the subject of this lesson. This truth is vital for anyone who wants to see a genuine move of the Spirit that can reap a great harvest of souls for the glory of God.

In part 7 of The Revival Series we will examine how the powerful conviction of the Holy Spirit produces radical, Biblical conversions. This message is vitally important.

Part 6 of The Revival Series is about Holy Spirit conviction that takes place in genuine revival. If there isn't profound conviction in meetings that are said to be revival, then it isn't real revival. The more the Holy Spirit is present, the more the Holy Spirit will do what He was sent into this world to do, which is to convict people of their sin so that they might repent and be saved. This is a good lesson.

In part five of our continuing series on revival we will look at the role repentance plays in an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This is an extremely important message to understand if we want to see authentic revival. Please share this with others, for it is a crucial lesson on the subject.

This is part one of a new teaching series that is on revival. In this lesson we will look at some basic ideas about authentic revival. We will examine what real revival is and what it is not. This is a soul stirring message that desperately needed today.
