Can revival happen in churches
other than Pentecostal & Charismatic Churches.
There are the signs of revival fire spreading to other churches.
The Holy Spirit has not only been sent to one denomination. God's wave of revival fire, is
spreading right accross denominational boudries and international borders. We have been in
a Methodist, Southern Baptist, Presbyterian and Episcopalian church. Recently we completed
an excellent revival in an American Baptist church in Michigan. In England, the major part
of the revival took place in the Anglican or Church of England denomination.
According to the prophecy of the Prophet Joel (Joel 2) and
related by the Apostle Peter in Acts 2:19 "... in the last days, I will pour out my
Spirit upon all flesh..." God is no respecter of persons and wants to touch the world
with His power. But the key is, people must want revival. It comes to those who have a
desire for revival. Churches and church leaders, need to be open to revival, and be
willing for God to come with His mighty flood.
Isaiah 42:18 & 19 says " Remember not the former
things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it springs
forth. Shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the
desert. "
Jesus said in John 7:38 "If any man thirst, let him come
unto me and drink, and out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." The belly
here speaks of the spirit of man. The Holy Spirit is the river He is referring to.
