My sisters and my brothers today I would like to meditate with you about spiritual revival so sought and why not say, so necessary in our days. But before talking about revival and to understand him better is necessary to talk about that isn't revival. I think every serious preachers know what they cannot be identified as revival and yet often goes through revival. Many people crowded in one place is not a sign of revival. Prayers too high is not a sign of revival, although I insist that the people of God should claim to pray together. That is salutary. But in itself is not the sign of true revival. Campaigning to take members of other churches to the Church such and such is not a sign of revival and of human vanity. Open a parenthesis to say that there are many people who confuse us seeming to be enlivened with the way you talk, and when you are a pastor or another church leader even with your way of being, but themselves if debunking when are carried out practice of true revival. There speaks louder human structures, the money, the fame, the prominent place. And at this point there's no way out. Why would a person says that is promoting the Christ, but who's the spirit you'll notice as soon as it is if you're stepping up. It's one thing to be pastor, and another is only using the language and take advantage of the concepts of the row fuelled to appear to be a or a. But who isn't if debunks sooner or later. No revival is soft-spoken, beats in the shoulders. Revival is not just criticize the Church the way she is and make proposal for another way of being Church. Revival is not limited to that.
But Pastor what is revival? It's hard to tell with
one sentence, summarize something so big and so deep. But would initiate the
reply saying that revival is a deep feeling of the presence of the Holy Spirit
in us and giving us life. and to put the life in him. For many years used the
term revival. That would give life again. But it wouldn't be the right thing
yet? How are we as a church? And I speak of the Methodist Church. How are we
doing? How do you word a Methodist revived as has acted? What has been your
behavior regarding a brother? When you think the Church what do you consider
most important? The structural and legal concepts of the Church or your brother
or your sister in Christ? Who's in front? Dear nothing can be in first place
unless Christ and therefore the values of the Christian faith. We need be
Christians Methodist and not Methodist
Christian. Who or what really is firstly for you? How do you get the considerations
of a brother or a sister? There is sincerity in your heart? Or perhaps you
invent things ingenious to make it seem true what they're saying? Look, there
are a lot of people "fuelled" acting this way. My brother or my
sister knows God's spirit and reveals to the other all what you're really doing
or being. Sometimes we think that revival is screaming that we give in the
pulpits. In fact today there is no action on banks because there is no
anointing in the pulpits of churches in many cases. Wanted this occurs for many
reasons. But the main ones are: lack of true life in God, lack of commitment to
the Kingdom of God and a lot of concern about the things of this world. For
example, our names as if the Kingdom of God be restricted to them. And we leaderships
pastors? On many occasions we have more fear to stop considering a human
determination made on behalf of the Church than even the things of the spirit.
This actually is the symptom of the absence of the spirit that we have, because
the Holy Spirit leads us with wisdom and insight. Says what to do and how to do
it.
friends and dears the real revival leads us to
confront in many cases, what the Church is telling what God is saying what we
are saying and doing. I'm not here urging rebellion, but alerting. Not always a
word of God's Church. Who has the Holy Spirit and it is really refreshing to
know to discern this. But surely you insist: Pastor and the real revival the
you only said so far that it's hard to say? The real revival is the full
communion with the Holy Spirit and the submission to him. The real revival is
the exercise of love. Nowadays there is lots of talk about love and little
exercise on about this love. And that among the "pastores" we brother
who not long ago said something about us. Felt and said we were the Lord's
anointed, looked in our eyes and said: are you a great Pastor. But today
shortly after, say otherwise. That spirit was that were talking about? Well, you can't fool God
ever.
Beloved, let us be observer.
