To Carry Revival: What Does It Take?

The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are completely His (2 Chronicles 16:9). God is searching for sons and daughters who are pursuing Him with reckless abandon. He is searching for people who will be found good stewards of His great glory. His Kingdom is pressing through this natural realm (some would call this revival), and it will take wise sons and daughters to steward the power in which He wants to come. In order to properly carry and perpetuate this revival, believers must show themselves worthy to be chosen (Matthew 22:14).

I was watching a few interviews of various revivalists in which they were all giving their advice on what it takes for a young revivalist to step into the supernatural calling for his or her life. I payed close attention. I want to be known in Heaven and feared in Hell. I took their points and began to study and learn.

There are five things which a carrier of continual revival must have in order to properly manage the power of God in the proportion He desires to give it. There are so many more, but these are five I have been focusing on lately based on what I've learned from these interviews.
  • Pride test

  • Character test

  • Leaders are readers

  • Discipleship

  • Above all else, INTIMACY WITH GOD

(Please note that when I use the word revival, I'm referring to when a believer or body of believers allows the Kingdom to be manifested in the natural. This includes healing, deliverance, salvation, miracles, and any other manifestations of the Holy Spirit that bring transformation to people's lives and destruction to the powers of darkness.)
