Revival X

What makes us think revival is near (or even here)? Faithfully attending church, growing as a family, worshiping and studying the Word is GOOD...but woefully insufficient. Revival cannot launch with such a limited approach. Sunday-style church promotes life and encouragement. This is good. The pursuit of revival demands death and surrender. This is critical. No, a vibrant, Spirit-filled weekly ser...

Reformation of systems and structures must come if we hope to host revival. I've spent years traveling to churches all over the nation and have been blessed to get to know some incredible pastors. They are hungry for revival and are willing to allow God to move any way necessary. It's also true that many who hold the office of Pastor either unwittingly or intentionally disrupt the pursuit of reviv...

I applaud Christians who want to live pure, holy lives, but eliminating Christmas is not the way to do that. Christmas is truly the most wonderful time of the year as we exalt Jesus and enjoy family in ways that cannot happen at any other time, in any other way! I’m absolutely convinced Jesus loves it when we have fun, laugh, enjoy each other and rejoice! Discover 5 reasons to thoroughly enjoy the...

The cross of Jesus dealt with both sin and sickness, and we must understand that relationship in order to walk in fullness AND to minister healing to others. Discover the wonder of walking as saved, healed, delivered and free servants of God! #healing #salvation #cross #bloodofjesus #freedom #jesus www.revivalx.tv

Ghosting happens at churches every Sunday. Pastors are confused as to why someone has disappeared or why they started attending elsewhere. Process has been violated. We should never leave a church unannounced. We should never decide on our own to announce that we are leaving a church. We should always allow for extended time to discuss the possibility of leaving a church—and openness to staying—wi...

It’s important for all who read to understand I’m a staunch supporter of local church pastors and any movement that attempts to circumvent biblical government must be exposed and renounced. I also want it to be clear that I actually do agree with many house church advocates on many points. They have legitimate disagreements with the way the local church is functioning today, and their issues have...

Revival will include an unusual, supernatural manifestation of healing. Before revival comes, the church must discover the revelation that it's not supposed to be unusual. Learn how to move in healing and to receive healing in your life, body, soul and spirit. #healing #revival #divinehealth #prayer #intercession #supernatural

Church growth strategies focus, in most cases, the wrong metrics and the wrong goals. This is a call for a mind-shift, a move well outside of the church box, that will advance the church toward mission success with great power. #church #revival #churchgrowth #leadership #apostle #prophet #pastor #branson #bransonmo www.revivalx.tv

In my early years of ministry, I was never asked about my prayer life or intercession strategies when interviewing for open church staff positions.  Many pastors (thankfully, not all) are uncomfortable in the prayer room and will either eliminate it from the culture of the church or minimize it to something less threatening. At best you'll find a group of faithful warriors praying in a glorified j...

Prophecy, in its simplest form is merely hearing from the Holy Spirit and repeating what He said. Those who are hungry will search out the treasures that God has hidden for them. In this training we will learn the origin of the revelation and how to steward it. Who is speaking to us? 1. Our spirit 2. The Holy Spirit 3. Evil spirits 4.

According to  Barna , one third of pastors are considering quitting. One in five have  considered self-harm or suicide  within the past year. I'm writing this from the  SonScape Retreat Center  in beautiful Divide, Colorado. The solitude, rest and fun that my wife and I are having along with other ministry couples and the incredible ministry staff is good therapy indeed. Hard driving, production m...

There’s a difference between the office of prophet and the gift of prophecy. Focus is different. Authority is different. Revelation is different. However, all can prophecy and all should desire the gift of prophecy. It's a critical ministry and it needs to increase in the church in the end-times. This three-week School of Revival class will help you discover the shock and awe of hearing God's voic...

People are excited about dramatic change in the church, until they aren't. Never has the expression of Christianity needed transformation more than now. I suppose one could argue the nailing of the  95 Theses  by Martin Luther compares, but we are in the last of the last days. Shift must happen immediately. People can get amped up about a shiny, new model of ministry that emphasizes what their spi...

Done with church, done with Christianity? Christians all over the world, including people I know, and probably others you know as well, are abandoning Christianity. They are fed up with God, or at least the way he's represented. In reality, their anger–which is often quite explosive–is directed at people, usually church leaders. They are deconstructing and they aren't hiding it. Many are loud and...

The shift must come to every church –immediately.  There are over 19,000 cities in the nation and not one is experiencing the biblical normalcy of revival. Yes, there are pockets of Holy Spirit activity, but when considering regions, there's no smoke, no fire. Every church and every Christian must not only be ready for reformation, they must initiate a massive revolution. Our daily experience will...

A refusal to wrestle with “negative” issues threatens American Christianity.

The fervor surrounding this election has broken the scale. The church seems to have been awakened to the responsibility to cast their vote. Lines of cars heading to polling stations led to lines of people willing to wait for hours in some locations. This is very good. It would seem the passion for righteousness is suddenly spiking and hopes for a mighty move of God are trending upward. Then again,...

On the heels of my article released two days ago titled,  "Demons aren't Hiding this Election Season,"  former President Donald Trump made quite a remarkable declaration. As reported by  Newsmax , Trump said, "This is a group of people, large group of people, larger than people think, but it's a very demonic party." He distinguished between the party and the Democratic voters, clearly stating that...

I've met many people who have become completely disenchanted with the hopes of encountering the supernatural power of God and they have lost all hope of experiencing regularly answered prayer. The idea of God responding to prayer is fully ridiculous to the unredeemed who regularly mock this Christian concept. You will hear them laugh when God doesn't do what the religious zealots are petitioning h...
