"There has been prevailing intercession and profound prophetic utterance released in a myriad of settings as the current generation becomes increasingly desperate for revival ... During the evening service at Mt. Carmel, as worship filled the old sanctuary, we heard a remarkable sound that seemed to reverberate throughout the entire sanctuary. I glanced up to look at Jennifer, and it was obvious that she and the minister sitting next to her had also heard the sound. It sounded as if every person in the sanctuary started simultaneously stomping their feet on the old wooden floors. I felt quickened in my spirit that it was the sound of the Lord coming upon the land ... People were crying and laughing hysterically at the same time. You could see people lying on the floor or gathering in their pews to pray with one another."
There are two revivals happening. One is a false revival from Satan and the other is the true revival from the Spirit of God. Now what will people accept if they are not grounded on the truth and are 'desperate' for revival? They will accept the movings of Satan and not know that the 'spirit' they are accepting is that of the devil. Pay close attention to the following quote:
"Before the final visitation of God's judgments upon the earth, there will be, among the people of the Lord, such a revival of primitive godliness as has not been witnessed since apostolic times. The Spirit and power of God will be poured out upon his children. At that time many will separate themselves from those churches in which the love of this world has supplanted love for God and his Word ... The enemy of souls desires to hinder this work; and before the time for such a movement shall come, he will endeavor to prevent it, by introducing a counterfeit. In those churches which he can bring under his deceptive power, he will make it appear that God's special blessing is poured out; there will be manifest what is thought to be great religious interest. Multitudes will exult that God is working marvelously for them, when the work is that of another spirit. Under a religious guise, Satan will seek to extend his influence over the Christian world. In many of the revivals which have occurred during the last half century, the same influences have been at work, to a greater or less degree, that will be manifest in the more extensive movements of the future. There is an emotional excitement, a mingling of the true with the false, that is well adapted to mislead. Yet none need be deceived. In the light of God's Word it is not difficult to determine the nature of these movements. Wherever men neglect the testimony of the Bible, turning away from those plain, soul-testing truths which require self-denial and renunciation of the world, there we may be sure that God's blessing is not bestowed." (Great Controversy, p.464)
What is the one marked characteristic about these so called 'revivals' in America? "Emotional excitement"! And the Spirit of the Lord never works in this way. Were the disciples falling on the floor, or laughing uncontrollably at Pentecost? No! This is not how the Spirit of the Lord moves. But it is how the spirit of the devil moves, seeking to deceive people with 'signs and wonders'.
Revelation 13:13-14 ...'And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast.'
What do many of these people involved in these revivals do? They go straight back to listening to worldly music, films and TV with all manner of SIN. And as the Bible says, 'you shall know them by their fruits' (Matt.7:16). Showing that the so called 'revival' is not of God.
The Holy Spirit comes from the one who is righteous. So what will we be when we are filled with the Holy Spirit? We will be righteous too. The Spirit brings the personal presence of Christ to us (John 14:18). So if we have Christ in us, then we will NOT manifest silly signs of laughing and falling on the floor. And we will not continue in sin. Instead, we will be holy in all our conduct. Please do not fall for this false revival happening!
