Can The Church Be Revived?
What can revive the church? To revive the church, Christians from around the world must come together in sincere prayer in one mind and one accord, to be brought up to their spiritual best by the Holy Spirit, to fulfill their own ministry.
What will the Great Revival accomplish? It will finish the work Jesus was sent here to do. The revival will be a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit, with signs following, revealing the power of Jesus Christ, through his people, for his glory. The Great Revival will be the last call for repentance to the apostate (backslidden) church to restore them into the full fellowship with the Lord and perfect them for his imminent return. The Great Revival will also be the final call to all who have never met Jesus Christ and are lost in their sins.
What is the purpose of the Church? The purpose of the body of Christ is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through out the world, through teaching, edifying and exhorting the Church. The purpose of the church is to come into the fullness of the righteousness, holiness, and to understand the truth of Jesus Christ. Then to show the world what it's like to see the perfect expression of Jesus personality shining through his beloved children, in His Righteousness. His purpose is for His children to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ, and his forgiveness of sins, to a sinful world.
When did the Church come into existence? The church came into existence on the day of Pentecost when the disciples came together in one mind and one accord to pray. The endtime revival will be similar in that it will come through sincere prayer, and a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit, as his children unite in one mind and one accord in prayer.
Who comprises the Church? the church is comprised of everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Everyone who recognizes that Jesus died for their sins, and arose again on the third day, and lives forevermore. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
When will the church be revived? The Great Revival will not come through human unction, but by the power of the Holy Ghost. The church will be revived when Jesus by his Holy Spirit moves upon people to renounce their sins, and they begin to move in their ministry, that is given to every Christian by the Holy Spirit. The endtime revival will begin in God's perfect time. The Holy Spirit will perfect Christians in order to make them ready to go to heaven at Jesus Christ's return.
Repentance is an act of humility, strictly between the individual and the Holy Spirit, as he reveals to the individual where they trespassed his laws and how to repent. No one else in involved, it's completely a private prayer in love between the father and the child. Conviction of sin is a sovereign act of God, through the Holy Spirit, that will bring an errant child back to Jesus Christ.
