It is now official: A revival has already started in Brazil.
It was declared in a Christian meeting yesterday:And I have witnessed and confirmed it.
If you do not know about this pastor, I am here to say that he is amazingly used by God and undoubtedly preach the gospel in truth.
Blessings!

At the end of the video, the last few minutes, it looks like a counterfeit revival/ spirit/ is spurring them on, fwiw. ...
❝But he who doubts is condemned if he eats,
because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.❞ - Romans 14:23
I understand your worry about false prophets. But this is NOT false at all.
I suggest you think more carefully about it.

There have been many true revivals in the last 200 years. Most of them have been true revivals of sin, not truth. Counterfeits, actors on the stage of life, hypocrites.
They are preaching the gospel in truth and they are NOT friend of the world, they go against sin and preach repentance.
❝And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive
words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.❞ - 1 Corinthians 2:4-5
Do not judge things based on appearance alone.

I do not know anything about this person, and there is a language barrier, so I am making no judgments about him. The only thing I have said is that there is nothing in scripture stating there must be a massive revival before Jesus returns, because Joel's prophecy was fulfilled in the book of Acts. That does not mean there cannot be any revivals.

That is what is happening in my country and will only increase from now.

"holy", "set apart" , ekklesia, does not mean more distant from the world, nor does it mean closer to God. This might be simply a language barrier/ language difference though, perhaps.
In the untied states for about half a century, there were what were called 'true revivals', or campaigns, or events, which entertained millions, and were highly touted by men, but when they were investigated, they were found to be frauds. In some where there were thousands of "decisions" , and raise your hand, come forward by the thousands, and cards filled out, a year or two years later, it was checked, and not one of those was still found to be serving Christ. Perhaps they never served Christ at all - only for show made an appearance, for the approval of others. So this /these events anywhere in the world - will any disciples be forth coming and faithful and true? The famous revivals in Wales, and in Toronto, turned out to be not only deceptive, but also caused much harm quickly throughout the usa and the world in fellowships that previously had been steady. What will these revivals in Brasil or anywhere else bring ? gold fillings? gold dust ? |

Scriptures tell us:
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”
2 Thessalonians 2:3

Scriptures tell us: “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thessalonians 2:3 There already was a falling away in the first few centuries. Another one , apostatsy in the 7th day denom, around 1904-1905. Other groups at other times/ centuries.
There was an other falling away of around a million, or up to, being that that many were offered their lives instead of death if they renounced their faith in Jesus, and how many remained faithful , how many renounced their faith, is uncertain here right now. It was in China, Corrie tenBoom reported about, showing how not only many fell away, but many were martyred as well,
and the
pastors in China wept long and with great sorrow, admitting they had not warned their charges that they would likely have to suffer even unto death for their faith, ... instead, the Chinese pastors had been telling everyone - don't worry, you won't have to suffer....

And this what is being preached here. I am telling you: The gospel is being presented in truth.

(This is from a letter Corrie wrote in 1974) "The world is deathly ill. It is dying. The Great Physician has already signed the death certificate. Yet there is still a great work for Christians to do. They are to be streams of living water, channels of mercy to those who are still in the world. It is possible for them to do this because they are overcomers. Short Excerpts of her letter known worldwide for decades: (This is from a letter Corrie wrote in 1974) ======= "Like King David Corrie testifies of the wonderful presence of God in times of trial and testing. He prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies. The bread and the wine of the Eternal Covenant is presented there on the table before us. A true bride is more than just a passive purchased concubine. She is vitally involved in the covenant issues of her Family, the Covenant People of the God of Israel. A true bride will not balk at the bridal witness. She will sign on with her Bridegroom and stand as witness to Him, come what may. " ======== "...She exhorts us to prepare ourselves spiritually in Christ, in His Holy Word, and by His Holy Spirit for the coming trials of our faith. She tells of the Chinese Church in a former time being misinformed, unwarned, and ill-prepared for he persecutions that began in 1949 under Mao Tse Tung's Red Guards. In this letter Corrie warns that Christians in the West today are in danger ..." ======== endtimepilgrim.org/corrie.htm "She relays a word of warning to us in the West from the Suffering Church in China. She exhorts us to prepare ourselves spiritually in Christ, in His Holy Word, and by His Holy Spirit for the coming trials of our faith. She tells of the Chinese Church in a former time being misinformed, unwarned, and ill-prepared for he persecutions that began in 1949 under Mao Tse Tung's Red Guards. In this letter Corrie warns that Christians in the West today are in danger of falling into a similar disaster born of ecclesiastical neglect and the resultant spiritual unpreparedness. Corrie, in classic Dutch directness plainly states that those who teach a Pre-Tribulation Rapture are among the false teachers Jesus warned us about. See Mat.24:4-5). Jesus went on to say that towards the end of this age His followers would be called upon to take the stand for Him. They would testify before kings and rulers. See Luke 21:12-19. However today's indulged Western Christians don't seem to have considered that the people Jesus was referring to might be them. So Corrie's message here is "a word to the wise". It should be regarded by all serious Christians as crucially important information. Without this "heads-up" Christians in the West will be left unprepared. They are unwittingly being set up for a fall, even a Great Falling Away or a Great Apostasy. This is most unfortunate. We serve a loving God who has promised to keep His covenant people from the wrath to come. But He does tell them that 'in this world you will have tribulation' which is entirely different. Christian believers in China and elsewhere know and understand these things implicitly. They understand and accept blood covenant Christianity. These dear saints have entered into a serendipity. It is something which we in the Western Laodicean Church know little about right now. But our brothers and sisters in the Suffering Church over in places abroad are traveling up on that higher pathway, that Highway of Holiness. (Isa. 35) Theses dear saints are not trying to avoid the Way of the cross. So, why should we be angry at this message or offended by this High Calling? The wonderful testimony of Corrie Ten Boom and her sister Betsy was this. "There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still." and "God will give us the love to be able to forgive our enemies". " ============================================================= |
