Yes, yes. Let's pray. Go ahead. Father God, we are really thankful and we are really appreciating the fact that you are with us and as you told your first born Israel that don't don't forget to tell your children of what I did because when you forget what I did you will forget my my my position my presence and now we are studying about history about Moves about about the things you've done in the church in your body Lord, I pray that you will create a room in our heart in our minds in our inner Intuitity to know what you've done in the church You the same God who did that in the in the early charge You are the same God who is doing it in the present church.

Amen. Amen. Thank you Charles leading us in prayer All right. Good morning once again so let's Continue from where we picked up yesterday yesterday. We looked at chapter seven revival in our day we looked at You know the need for revival We've been talking about revivals all through the chapters we studied a lot of revivals revivals in America and in China, Korea UK And we saw that the revivals went all around the world and we studied all of it yesterday what we did was we looked at Revival in our day. What is the need for revival? It's not like, okay, God you've done this in the past So that's good. Thank you for doing it in the past But for now, we are happy with this It's that's not the attitude that we want. What we want is we want to see the reason for studying all of this Is because we know that hey God moved in such a way It is the same Holy Spirit that moved in the early church Even in the early revivals. It is the same Holy Spirit that is working even now Right. So we looked at the need for revival We looked at a few points to ignite our passion for God for his word and his spirit. We looked at, you know We need to move from glory to glory from strength to strength To see the gathering of the harvest remember the latter rain We discussed on that how, you know, somebody's souls but the latter rain comes in and There's a greater harvesting of souls, right? So we were encouraged that, you know, if we are sharing the word with somebody and We don't see the fruit or we don't see Anything happening in their lives. Don't be discouraged, right? There will come the latter rain and the latter rain will bring a harvest of souls, right? So our responsibility is to sow the seed. There will be times when we share the word and we will have this, you know It's a great blessing to see their lives being transformed and it's an honor to see that But at times we may not see people's lives being transformed But we can be encouraged that the seed has been sown and The latter rain will bring the harvest of souls Then we also saw that we need to see the church impacting the world being salt and light and That's what happened in the revivals and and so we want to see that now and then we also saw something very important which was the hindrances to revival Right. We saw that ignorance was You know, one of the main hindrances meaning Okay, God is you know, we can come to a place where you say, okay Nowadays God can't do this, right? But it's important to understand that God can do it, right? A misunderstanding of the scriptures I think one of the most important hindrances or To revival is sin and worldliness the moment You know, we are living in sin or if we are In the church community and as a church we are living in worldliness What will happen? It immediately becomes a hindrance to a move of God Right. We looked at that scripture also James 4 4. You not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God Right. So if we are living a life of sin and worldliness and then we are also praying for revival That's very unlikely that God is gonna, you know, release it through any of that, right? Because If we're still living in sin God will you know, this does that hindrance that will come and so we have to be very clear we need to Remove sin from our hearts. We need to live a life of holiness and We need to live a life. You just surrender to God and Even as a church, right? We don't let the worldly influences of the church impact Though the church but the church should you know impact the world and so this is very very very important Right Now personal life personal prayer personal holiness is very important and it's a precursor to revival Right When we see the revivalist those who prayed the missionaries, they all lived holy lives They all sacrificed they didn't they didn't live sinful lives and pray for revival. They were so Consumed by the fact that you know, God has to do something in our midst So there was nothing else that was taking precedent in their hearts and minds It was God was God's work and outpouring of God. And so when we come into that mindset We are positioning ourselves for an outpouring of God, right and a few more Hindrances that we saw was complacency And I'll do it later Or you know, I'm satisfied at where we are Now God responds to hunger, right? The more we are hungry the more God is Response to that then there's lethargy Spiritual laziness, right? We don't want to make the effort to pray or to present to pursue God Now if we want God to move in our personal lives, I'm just giving this example Right if you want God to move in our personal lives or as as leaders to you know to equip you in the ministry We you know, we study the word of God all of it, but here's the important thing we need to pray Present and pursue God so that whatever we study it it really becomes truth into our hearts, right into our spirit Many at times, you know We study the word of God, it's happened to me. We study the word of God. We know the stories. We know everything, right? But it doesn't become revelation, right? It doesn't become something that Impresses in our spirit. So that's why it's very important that you know, we don't come to a place of saying, okay I already know this so You know, let me let me do something else But we need to press in when you press in for God Another important hindrance or a significant hindrance to revival is indifference Yesterday one of them asked us question. I forget who which student asked me the question but we asked us what is the difference between indifference and Was that indifference and divisions or divisiveness So Indifference is this esteem in the church doing this All of them are tuned towards it, but maybe we may be saying, you know, I don't want to do this I want to do something else Right and that call that become that can become a hindrance to revival Then there's busyness No, we mentioned that You know the whole the enemy's Number one priority is to keep us busy Right Even in the ministry We can be so busy doing God's work or the ministry Where we forget about the important things and focus on, you know Programs events and ministry related work Here's the thing our ministry should flow out of our personal work with God So so the enemy can very easily remember the enemy is a deceiver. He he tries to You know put it in our mind saying hey, you're doing ministry work. That's okay You're busy. You you can't pray Anyway, you're doing God's work. So it's all right He's able to deceive but it's very important as believers where we tell you know where we are Keep looking at our personal lives keep pruning ourselves and saying no Even though I'm doing ministry, even though I'm reaching out to people and ministering to people. I need to fill Myself I need an infilling. I Need to spend time with the word I need to spend time in prayer and Basically ministry is an outflow of what we do in our personal lives Right and so we should avoid the busyness They you know one of the things we do in a PC is You know, we encourage our volunteers. We encourage our team members You know to take breaks take breaks with your family when I when I say break meaning take vacations I take time go out with family Spend time with family remember in the revivals that we saw a Few of the revivals where you know, they were so busy doing ministry they neglected their own health They neglected their wives. They neglected their children. Many of them lost their children right to diseases and Lost their wives now when we study all of this we may feel. Oh, yeah, they you know, they Willing to sacrifice all of this. That's true But if you look at the other side, they could have also you know taken time out and Looked after their family looked after their children and God can always continue the work of the Holy Spirit, right? So these are certain hindrances divisiveness division denominational barriers at unforgiveness Holding grudges against pastors This is a terrible thing that you know, we should just avoid it Denominies unforgiveness Imagine you got two, you know pastors of two leaders. They're not even talking to each other They can't stand each other, but what are they doing? They both are in the ministry You know preaching and teaching the Word of God, but they hate each other If you look at the book of John the whole book especially one John two and three John also the not three but mostly One and two John we see that love is The essence of the entire book just behold what manner of love the father has given us right and so When we are ministering to people we cannot live in unforgiveness and You know this whole feeling of division and having grudges and pride and you know anger on people Remember what Jesus himself said he said If you're coming with your offering and you have something against your brother go Make things right Then you come back and I will accept your offering Right, and it's so powerful, right? So we should avoid Divisions we should avoid causing these divisions, you know, whichever city your nation that we are from Do your best to cause unity and love and oneness Among the you know among in the body of Christ. So So these were nine hindrances And I'm sure there are more but just nine hindrances here. So today we'll pick up from The characteristics of a genuine revival or a genuine move of God. What are the Characteristics of them we looked at the hindrances and so now there may be many people saying, you know, this is revival or that is revival But let's study What are the characteristics? What are the main things that we see in a revival? Right, so I'm on page 84 Let's read Matthew chapter 7 16 to 20 Yes, could one of us please read that Matthew chapter 7 16 to 20 Can I read faster? Yes, go ahead Matthew chapter 7 verses 16 to 20 says you will know them by their fruits Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit a Good tree cannot bear bad fruit nor can a bad tree bear good fruit Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire Therefore by their fruits, you will know them. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Avni So this is such a powerful, you know, just a few sentences, but it's so powerful the way the Lord Jesus You know just brings out the whole truth here. He says you shall know them by their fruits Right, so a good tree will bear good fruit a bad tree will bear bad fruit Right a good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit So Jesus is just so powerfully explaining that Even in ministry that he's bringing the whole concept into life, right as a whole and he's saying Therefore you shall know them by their fruit One of the things that we can look for in a revival is Something that is a genuine work of the Holy Spirit is the fruit That it has, you know, the outcome of the work of the Holy Spirit Right first point a characteristics of genuine revival Something of God cannot be manufactured Right remember we cannot manufacture and outpouring or a move of God Even though we see now Remember the example I shared with you about, you know, gold dust in churches now the reason I said that now There could be places where it's really happening. God is really doing it But there are places where it's being manufactured Right a genuine revival is not You know the result of hype Media programs good marketing Or it's not about a charismatic leader It's not about some emotional feeling a Genuine work of God is always long-lasting fruit It always has long-lasting fruit John 6 and verse 63. I'll just read that it is the spirit who gives life the flesh Prophets nothing The words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life So we cannot manufacture a Work of God we cannot say okay, just because he's doing it when I will do yes We can be encouraged with that We can pursue God But we cannot manufacture hey, they are doing this or even I want to I want the same kind of thing I want to manufacture something I want to make it up You know like in my own way It's not gonna last for long Let me give you this example Many years ago I was visiting Andhra Pradesh and which is a at the state in India and We were doing like a small meeting and pastors conference kind of meeting and During the break we get to speak to the pastors and one of these pastors young man He came up to me and he said a pastor you please pray for my prayer for my church because it's been five years And we only have about 20 people So I said yeah sure we will pray for your church But I began to ask him a lot of questions and I said when did you know when did you start your church? What did you study? Did you do your Bible college or? how did you plan the church and after talking to him I Got to know that this young man was serving very faithfully in one of the churches close by and He would come in the mornings. He said he would open the church clean the church You know this one person would do everything Right. He will put the chairs. He will make the sound system ready. And so when the church starts Everything is ready. And so he was always there in everything. He put his hand and very very faithful and after a few you know during the course of time, he was very close to the pastor as well and Something happened. There was a misunderstanding between the pastor and this young boy young man, right? There's some kind of a misunderstanding and then he said to the pastor. I will start my own church right and He felt in his heart that the church that I start will be better than this church And so he went he started his church You know close by very close to the previous church that he was serving in And then after that he you know began to do outreaches praying and all of it And so he told me the whole story and I asked him So the reason that you started this church Was so that you this church can be better than that church He said no no not really but I anyways knew that God is calling me to be a pastor and all of that But I knew that you know that was the main reason and I meant and I told him Take time to make things right before God No matter what misunderstanding no matter what Has happened. You have been serving faithfully He was not given recognition for what he was doing or something like that that misunderstanding. I said God has called you so you you're doing things for God people may not Recognize you and honor you and all of that but you if you did this for God God will honor you so go back to your pastor Make things right You know, I'm not saying close down this church but make things right get your priorities right right meaning Make sure that you're starting this church not so that you have something You know, you wonder the church to become better than his church and then everyone begin to praise you but Have the right priorities saying that you go back and say God. I I want to make things right before you before man and before God and And so he did that He did that and a couple of Months later, you know, he happened to call me. He said, you know, he did that immediately He went and apologized and made things right and he also told the pastor I'm still willing to come and serve but I feel that this is my calling to be a pastor So I've started this year. So everything was alright and then he called me in a couple of Months maybe about five or six months later and he said, you know, can you come to our church and do like a conference? I said, okay, but we will have to plan out and then I think it was about seven months or later I went to his church and there were about 300 people in the church 300 people Right and I was so surprised. I said I asked him you were 20 people six months back Six or maybe six to eight months 20 people now you got about 300 odd people including children He said yes, the moment I went to apologize and I started, you know You know, just going to God and saying God, this is what I want to do. This I want to touch lives families start coming and It was such a blessing. So here's what I'm trying to get at the flesh Will profit nothing But the spirit the work of the spirit will always be fruitful right to In a revival Jesus is exalted and not an individual Right a true work of the Holy Spirit Will exalt the name of Jesus Jesus himself said in John 16 14 that the Holy Spirit Will glorify him right, so The Holy Spirit is the best advertiser for Jesus in this world that meaning When we are doing the work of God When God is moving there's an outpouring. That's a revival Jesus is exalted Three there is proclamation of sound doctrine in a revival now When we see in the early church In the book of Acts the believers established in God. What do they do? After the Pentecost acts 242 they continued steadfastly in the Apostles Doctrine and fellowship They continued steadfastly in the Apostles doctrine and fellowship in breaking of bread and in press so We see that in a in one of the important characteristics of a revival or a move of God is that there is sound doctrine Why because if it is a work of the flesh We come up with our own ideas and then we may end up Proclaiming a different gospel or we may end up with new ideologies new dogmas being taught And so if the Holy Spirit is the teacher It is obvious that what is being taught is true and sound doctrine So even when we see in a Revival or a outpouring of God check test and see hey is this doctrine, right? Is this sound is it is it in line with the Word of God? Right. So these are some things that we can check does it does it is there a proclamation of the cross? Is there a call for repentance? Is there a call for you know living a kingdom lifestyle? Call to live as sons and daughters of the most high God So when we see all of these characteristics, we'll know that this is a move of God another important characteristic of Genuine revival is there is unity in the spirit Unity in the spirit There's a strong sense of brotherly love not just in word, but indeed also Right, what does Jesus say he says if somebody Said they love God, but you know it curses their brother. They're in danger of being condemned right One of the most important characteristics is unity of the spirit people are flowing together. There is no competition There is no puffing up of one another. There is no divisions There is no titles Right, everything. There's unity and remember in Acts The hundred and twenty people praying and the Apostles didn't say okay. You all said that side We are the Apostles. We will pray separately and then you the label believers those who just come to know Jesus You be that side or the Apostles didn't say okay. We know Jesus We were with Jesus so we will pray here and you who did not see Jesus you y'all can pray there There was no division at all. They were all in unity one accord in one spirit right and So a genuine revival causes unity, right? There's unity. There's love You know even through the book of Acts when we see that People in the church who are willing to sell off their properties and help the poor help those who are a needy That's going you know way out of our You know comfort zones going way out of our you know limits To be a blessing to cause unity and oneness within the body of Christ Where the Holy Spirit is moving? There is unity in the spirit There is unity in the spirit 5 Another characteristics characteristic of a genuine revival Is people are brought to intimacy and Christ likeness Right people are drawn to walking closer with God. We don't have to tell them that Right we don't have to tell them. Hey Are you praying in the morning? Are you reading God's word? Are you meditating on the word of God? Are you praying in the night? Are you teaching your children? Are you spending time and fasting and prayer? Don't have to tell that why because people are brought automatically to that place of intimacy Remember the revivals where example the Azusa Street revival Remember it's a small corner in the street and you got thousands of people holding umbrellas at 6 a.m. in the morning waiting to get in Who puts that in their heart? Who puts it in their spirit? People are drawn to the work of the Holy Spirit There was no advertisement The only advertisement was the newspapers but the newspapers were just saying hey there's a revival happening here But you know people are drawn there People are coming on their own they're standing there William Joseph say more the person who led the Azusa Street revival he didn't stand and say please come to church or you please come here Please come for the meeting He didn't do any of that People were drawn to the work of the Holy Spirit For example in the Toronto revival there was this whole move of God where people who were emotionally and physically hurt began to receive healing And there was this feeling or this presence of the Father's love that was moving everywhere Different revivals have poured out different essence of the Holy Spirit Sometimes it's the power of God Sometimes it's the love of God Sometimes it's the conviction of the Holy Spirit Sometimes it's great joy and happiness So these are all the fruit of the Holy Spirit So he begins to manifest it in its own way And people are brought to intimacy Very important characteristic of genuine revival or a visitation is that there is long lasting fruit Like the words we read in Matthew 7 You shall be known by your fruit There's long lasting fruit We need to look beyond the manifestations We need to look beyond the preaching Beyond the teaching So for example the Toronto revival People were shaking, people were screaming, people were falling on the ground Some were roaring like a lion, some were drunk in the Holy Spirit Maybe it looked full of chaos People are falling under conviction Now through all of this Now we can look at that and say, hey this is something that is manufactured Or this is something that doesn't look right We may look at it and say that But the long lasting fruit will be the best example whether it is a true work of God Whether there was transformed lives But if you see in the Toronto revival There were thousands and thousands of people who encountered God Many ministries were birthed It was not something that was there for one year And then after one year the revival just died out It lasted for long There was a ripple effect Ministries were birthed out of it Churches began to grow People began to be transformed Societies began to be transformed In the Toronto revival Let's just take maybe two examples here Nikki Gumbel I'm sure many of us may have heard of him Founder of the Alpha course Nikki Gumbel He started his church Holy Trinity Church In London He was just pastoring that church Very few people It was his desire to teach people on evangelism He wanted believers to be equipped To evangelize with the people around And so he started a small Bible course And he named it the Alpha course In 1992 There were about 100 people attending So how this course is I'm not really sure whether it was online But the course is basically spread out So you could do it for working professionals You had morning sessions Afternoon sessions Evening sessions If I'm not wrong They also would record sessions On videotapes And they would have them played And so he was doing a good work About 100 people registered in 1992 And then what happened was Nikki Gumbel visited the Toronto revival And there there was a move of God Something touched his life He was empowered There was this whole spark of revival That came into him 1992 1993 1994 There were 26,700 students In two years From 100 students It became 26,700 students Right Now it didn't end there The Alpha course went on to 160 countries With 35,000 odd courses Every year 15 million students Being equipped in the word of God And it's a well respected organization Which empowers Which basically focuses to teach On evangelism You have courses online And all of that So we see that Because of the Toronto revival Nikki Gumbel visited there And the move of God The revival spark came into him And God began to use him To touch many lives What started with 100 students Went on to 27,600 26,700 students Now the first thing that came to my mind When I read about this was 100 people to house 100 people is alright You just get a small room How do we minister And house 26,000 odd people How It would have been a challenge Practical challenges would have been there But we see the fruit was lasting Even now The fruit is lasting So if we look back at the Toronto revival And we say hey They are screaming and shouting And falling on the floor Roaring and doing all these weird manifestations And if we discount them Then we may miss out A true and genuine work of God Because we see that there was long lasting fruit Lives were touched Ministries were blessed Many lives Many ministries were Grew and many ministries Birth out of the Toronto revival Another example is Heidi Baker Now we know Heidi Baker Many of us may have read books On Heidi Baker Founder of the Iris Ministries A young woman got called her She had a burden for People in Africa Children in Africa mainly So she went to Mozambique with her Husband Roland Baker Of course just like anyone else It was very demanding Mozambique No facilities She was physically Emotionally drained out Going through just a difficult phase In her life About 100 children Finances were difficult They were all children Who were maybe orphans She had to support and feed them So it was just overwhelming for her And then she said I need a break During that time The Toronto revival was going on So she said Let me just go for the revival And visit the place But the doctors in Mozambique said It's been a while so long You have double pneumonia You have many challenges You cannot do that It's going to be a challenge on your body But she wanted to See a move of God in her life as well So she went to The Toronto revival And at the Toronto revival She began to pray God healed her body Almost immediately Her lungs opened up Immediately Day after day She gained strength In times of worship In times of the word In times of ministry She began to gain strength She spent many hours in prayer And the team The Toronto revival team Also began to pray on her Then one night she had a vision She felt that She was giving birth And she's written it in her book as well And she felt like she's giving birth And then in that vision She's seen thousands of children Coming towards her And she's saying, God, Lord No, I can't handle this Hundred is already burdensome For me because It's difficult financially And then in the vision The Lord Jesus says Don't worry His body and says This is my bread You give it Takes out a little bit of blood From the body This is all in the vision The whole point was Jesus was telling her in the vision I will provide for your needs Go back And be strengthened in me And then what happened was When she went back to Mozambique Suddenly The ministry began to grow Families started coming Families started asking about God Started asking about healing Intelligence and all of it And then she felt I can't do all of this alone She would call the team and say Can you send some people here to serve We need some missionaries Or we need some volunteers to help us And then the bigger ministry began to grow Right now Iris Ministries is a global ministry Feeding about 10,000 children In Mozambique And just not about feeding them They are also putting in the word of God Teaching them The word of God About 4,000 families Accepted Christ 10,000 churches were established Five Bible schools Primary schools Started All of this happened During and after the Toronto Bible So what can we get at? We should not look at The manifestation And Make a judgment on that But what we can do Is look at the fruit Right, look at the fruit You know many Many years ago And this has happened a couple of times Many people came forward And said they are the Messiah You know They are in the form of Jesus Or You know if we read throughout In the early 90s And also in the early 2000s We see You know many people came forward And they said oh I am the Messiah I am You know I did this And there is one right now An Australian guy who says That he is the Messiah And you know But There was no fruit And it just died off Remember Gameliel What does he say to the Pharisees And the Sadducees Listen if this is from man It's just going to die away On its own You don't have to worry about it But if it's from God You are fighting against God And you can't fight against God Right You know the revival Understand the work of God Remember that We should be known By our fruit What is the fruit? Maybe sometimes we may look at Young people Or we may look at certain ministries And say this doesn't look right So the best way to It's not that you are judging But the best way to see Whether this is of God Is to see if there is fruit Have lives been touched Have people You know Families been restored Have people come to the saving knowledge of Jesus These are some of the things That we can look at Rupa is saying Would like to share a small testimony Of the Toronto revival Please go ahead Rupa Rupa I think your voice is too low Can you please Sure no problem Rupa No problem Okay So So we will stop here Because I don't want to get into Next point is So we can start that from next week But any thoughts Anyone have any thoughts Any questions Until Rupa comes back Any thoughts, any questions Maybe things that you have read Or ministries that you have heard about Yes go ahead Charles Thank you Parsi And in 1930s There was the East African Revival That A certain missionary That was staying in Uganda Was talking about The use of names And how the names were Talking about other gods Not the God of Heaven And the king By that time Decided to Try to kill him So he had to run And go to Rwanda Rwanda is a country south of Uganda In the southwestern And then When he was there Good moved him And he started preaching He was a doctor So he began in a hospital In a hospital Things exploded And now He came back in Uganda In the south of Uganda They were preaching And I was remembering When you talked about Teaching of the correct doctrine When one of the characteristics Of the revival Correct doctrine And the doctrine they were teaching Was like when you confess sin You must leave it Confess sin You must leave it And God used that And the revival Was much In fact even currently The president of the republic Of Uganda And most of the ministers Are the children Of the revival of 1930s And they are doing well But now the outcomes And the ones who are really struggling Because when to reduce People lost their way So But the point that I was bringing out Was the teaching of correct doctrine Men were marrying one wife And a wife would be for one man And when you confess of sin Then you leave it And then Also there was The point of accountability You needed to be accountable To your church To your partner To your friend To the prayer group So the doctrine was really good And the church was doing well And people were being healed Just singing And people demon speak And people are healed So when you are talking Of correct doctrine I was like wow this is real It happened here And we are asking the lord That he would pour out again Another one So that we would see His move again Thank you Thank you so much Charles For sharing your thoughts It's wonderful I'm not sure if Rupa is back here Rupa would you like Yes go ahead Rupa Is my voice clear sir Yes I just wanted to share a small Testimony during the Toronto revival My husband was working In a very
