You Are Revival

My biography and the history of Tucson Revival

Matthew Skamser is probably best known for his involvement with the Tucson Revival.  God spoke to him on his way home from the Lakeland Outpouring one Sunday afternoon that he was supposed to go back to Tucson (he was living in Florida at the time) and proclaim that revival is here.  God said that the prayers of the saints, His Air Force, had paved the way for His Army to come in and see many people set free and confess Jesus as their Savior.  

In faith, Matt returned to Tucson with his wife and began to fast and pray.  God took him up in a vision and showed him a contract to sign that had certain stipulations but with the end result being a 200,000 soul harvest in Tucson.  Matt was and is still believing for this and figures if Evan Roberts could believe for 100,000 souls in Wales he can easily believe for 200,000 in Tucson.  "It's been a hundred years, surely God can double the total of the great revival that began in 1904 but reverberated throughout the entire 20th century."  

With God's Spirit moving powerfully, healings occurring regularly (including Michele Triste, healed of brain tumors - doctor verified) and partnerships with a couple of traveling Prophets, the Tucson Revival team had some amazing experiences of "true" revival.  The visitations of God's freedom and power were amazing.  Supernatural signs and wonders were commonplace.

When Matt held the first healing tent revival meeting, seven portals opened up in the sky above the meeting in a circular pattern (seen through the clouds of a pitch black sky by the light of the moon).  Part of this phenomena was caught on video.  That visitation was prophesied as seven angels, the same seven angels that William Branham saw in the Tucson area many years earlier which caused a cloud phenomena that made the cover of Life magazine (May 17, 1963).  This, as well as a Spirit-led association that first week with Perry Greene (a former understudy of Branham's), is proof of an undeniable connection with the power and revelation ministry that was seen last through William Branam.  

This revival movement in Tucson not only honored the past moves of God in the area, but quite literally picked up the spiritual mantle of the late Branham as well.  The first night of the meeting had an angry "Branhamite" fighting for the mantle for his leader, William's eldest son, Joseph.  He began to heckle the speaker and start angrily claiming that we knew nothing of William Branham and the true Anointing of Branham belongs to William's son, Joseph.  In a bizarre spiritual non-coincidence, this man was rebuked out of the tent by Matt.  Truly God was rekindling the fires of revival in this area and re-digging the wells of revival's past!

Due to a lack of finances the tent revival meetings ceased, but the impact on the individuals involved remained.  Matt started a ministry from this called "Tucson Revival," which included a radio show which went on for over a year and a half on KGMS 940AM.  However, a hacker attack shut down the "Tucson Revival" website and the Revival radio show also ceased.  God spoke to Matt that revival cannot be owned by anyone and told him it cannot be a "ministry."  Revival is a movement, and it starts with you!

Shortly after this revelation, God gave Matt the contents of the book, "You Are Revival," which is being published nationwide by Destiny Image Publishers, set for release on January 1, 2011.  In a season of soaking with the Lord, in solitude, and receiving revelation only from God's Spirit, Matt typed out the contents of this book that God has assured him will fuel the fires of a revival movement around the world and equip a generation to understand their personal responsibility when it comes to seeing true revival and reformation and how to partner with the Holy Spirit to see this happen.  He longs to see a revival movement that increases in power and community-wide effectiveness not only in this generation but in generations to come.

Seven years to the day that God called Matt into the ministry, February 9th, 2003, He released and commissioned him to work for Him full-time.  Today Matt is preaching, teaching, writing, and working with ministries around the nation that carry the same heart and sound for revival, including "The Call," with Lou Engle and individuals like David & Stephanie Herzog.  He successfully trades stock options during the day which has led he and his wife to prosper during this season.  

His goals, among many others, are to release at least one book per year to the body of Christ and be the first graduate with a doctorate in Theopathic Health & Healing from the Phoenix University of Theology.  This is a program being developed by Randy Clark and Mrs. Drake.  

More than anything, Matt simply tries to hear the voice of God and do what He says.  His life and ministry are extremely unconventional as he came from a bivocational "marketplace ministry" background as a successful Computer Software Engineer and has no official ministry credentials.  Matt graduated cum laude with a BSBA in Computer Information Systems from Northern Arizona University in 2000.  In 2003, he stopped his ministry credentials process because he fussed that, "anyone can get credentials but not anyone can pay the price for the Anointing."  He later said that he does not want to go through any open door that was opened by manmade credentials, only those opportunities that were presented because of the close relationship He has with the Holy Spirit.  This he protects above all else.  Matt also rarely takes offerings and is far more interested in serving local ministries then asking them to be a part of "his."  He says, "your life is your ministry," and "your ministry is really just God expressing Himself through your life."  He also says that our number one ministry should be our ministry to God not anything we do for Him.

Matt is still believing for 200,000 souls in Tucson, however, God spoke prophetically to Him through Prophet Bob Griffin that "Revival in the classes is coming before revival of the masses."  God is preparing the body of Christ right now to steward His harvest but more importantly to seek God's face and steward His Anointing.  Matt is dedicated to this cause and is a forerunner of God's Next Great Awakening in America and throughout the world which is happening organically right now!

Matt was also one of the original leaders of a Christian youth drama and dance team that performs in high schools and assemblies across the nation called, "Breakdown."  Breakdown has teams in multiple states and now three countries worldwide.  He also served as the head Pastor/Leader of a Young Adult ministry at a large church in Tucson, AZ, called Victory Worship Center, for almost three years.  The Senior Pastor there is Pastor Zane Anderson, a man of God who also has a heart to see God's Kingdom manifest in the local church and throughout the community.

Your Keys to Living in Permanent Revival, p2

"The 100 Year Bloom - Your Keys to Living in Permanent Revival," by Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda

 

The believer's KEY to living in spontaneous revival is WATCH & PRAY:  Jesus said 'suddenlies' would increase at the end of the age.  Watching and waiting, seeking and praying, we will be prepared when He comes.  "The Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple!" Malachi 3:1.
  

Revival movie review: AVATAR

 

The movie Avatar has received quite the buzz and quite the support breaking box office records around the world.  Like many movies coming from Hollywood, it has it's flash, it's flair, and it's 3D, but what kind of substance and what kind of message is it really sending to the people that watch it?  

As a Revivalist, I try to see through the external to the heart of the motive.  Revivalists value the internal over the external, substance over superficiality.  So, what is the real substance of this movie and is it good for Christians to watch?  

Listen, I get the fact that this is a really "cool" movie with amazing graphics.  However, that alone is no reason to waste $10 on a movie ticket and three hours of your life.  

The underlying theme of this movie is Pantheism.  Pantheism is the view that the Universe (Nature) and God are identical,^[1] or that the Universe (including Nature on Earth) is the only thing deserving the deepest kind of reverence.  

Nature helps me worship God as a Christian, but to worship nature itself is idolatry!  Not only does this movie promote nature worship it promotes liberal agenda items such as "capitalism is evil" and "war is evil."  

At this point I do not care too much about political views but I care a lot about the spiritual aspect of anything that goes in my ear gate and eye gate.  What goes in your ears and your eyes is what feeds your soul.  Many people don't just "eat" soulish junk food, they're downing poison!  I believe "Avatar" is poison.  I felt an extreme grieving of the Holy Spirit during the part where they were worshipping a tree called, "Eywah."  I almost walked out of the theatre and kind of wish I did now that I think of it.  

The names of the characters in this movie, like the main hero were even the names of Hindu gods and the Hindu savior.  It hurts me to think that the message Christians worldwide were getting from this movie is that false worship is Ok.  These "New Age" messages, whether you think so or not, continually break down your moral barriers of tolerance.  Pastor Bill Johnson says, "What you tolerate dominates."  I say, "What you do not protect, you end up losing."  We need to protect our eyes and ears and the moral absolutes of the Bible.  We need to reject crazy movies out of Hollywood and not help promote their success and their anti-God, anti-Christian agenda.

Someone may disagree with my assessment of this movie but what if this movie was a book?  What if you told me, "you have to check out this book, it is royal blue with a 3D cover, wow, it's awesome!!"  What if I asked you, "Ok, well, what is the book talking about?  What is the message of the book?"  If you said, "it doesn't matter, the book looks soo cool, and even at the start of every Chapter it has a new blue-looking character or 3D image, how cool!"  If I then checked out the book and realized it glorified New Age concepts, characters, and worship, and was bombarding me with political messages that I disagree with, I would be extremely disappointed and grieved.  The same goes for the movie!  This movie was terrible from a true Christian spiritual aspect of things.

For my rating system of "Walked Out," "Almost walked out," "bad," "Ok," or "Good," Avatar gets one star out of five and falls for me in the "Almost walked out" category.  

Please, people, protect your morality and don't drink the poison that comes from Hollywood just because it looks and tastes good!

 

Revival in the Assemblies of God

Most modern Pentecostal denominations were birthed from revival and reformation.  Lutheran, Methodist, Church of God, Church of God in Christ, Assemblies of God, etc.  The latter three just in the last one hundred years.  

I appreciate what God has done and what He is doing.  I honor the forefathers of the faith and those who Apostalically tarried to build foundations for God to plant thousands of churches worldwide and see the world transformed as we know it.  Since the Azusa street revival it is estimated that over 100 million souls have come to the Lord and likely many of those were also baptized in the Holy Spirit.  God has truly done a mighty work in the body of Christ over the last few hundred years, particularly just over the last one hundred.  

The Assemblies of God denomination was not a denomination for many years.  As the message of the power of the Holy Spirit and the spreading of the baptism of the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues, local bodies of believers and missions were popping up all over the United States and over the world.  Such leaders who were great voices during this movement were Charles Parham, A.B. Simpson, Charles Price, R.A. Torrey, etc.  Unfortunately, although the Asuza street revival was a mixed company of blacks and whites, this diversity quickly became segregation again as the predominantly African American believers organized under the "Church of God in Christ" denomination while others were loosely organized if at all.  That's where the Assemblies came in.  A general council of Godly leaders decided to unite this movement of the Holy Spirit and come up with some common doctrines to defend against certain doctrinal disputes and arguments.  Without going into too much boring history, the Assemblies of God eventually became a denomination and grew like wildfire until the last twenty years or so.  Once Jimmy Swaggert and James Baker fell, in my opinion it dealt a huge blow to the denomination's reputation and finances.  

Last year, a letter went out by the General Superintendant, George Woods, that the denomination was in decline with a call to local AG friends worldwide to donate money.  As I was burdened with that letter and reminisced my many wonderful years growing up under the influence of the freedom of the Holy Spirit typical in most AG churches, I couldn't help but also think about this as a denomination that lost its way.  

To put it bluntly, the Assemblies of God was a denomination built on revival and has lost much of its original identity.  Anytime something loses its roots and tries to reinvent itself with something far less powerful and authentic, it is sure to go downhill.  Unfortunately I'm afraid this wonderful denomination has lost its roots.  As I travel and visit AG churches around the country I see more people pleasing preaching and programs than I do anything remotely related to revival.  The true sounds of modern-day revival in this nation and in the world are not tied to the Assemblies of God in any way that I can tell.  In fact, those churches like Bethel in Redding, CA, that do carry a true sound of revival have or are heading for the exits and completely disassociating themselves from this denomination.  

I can say many other things about the lack of the Anointing and passion for the things of God and the tactical efforts of a business-like approach to building churches that the AG has implemented across the nation that I believe are a major cause for these problems.  A tree can only bear the fruit like that of the seed that was planted.  If you plant business-like ministry without the power no wonder we are reaping powerless, Holy Spirit absent churches!

I say these things with fear and trembling in a true spirit of intercession.  I can't tell you how many times the Holy Spirit has led me to get on my face to cry out for the Church of America and even the AG denomination in particular.  However, I don't point out problems without pointing out solutions.  

As I attended a wonderful AG church in Tucson sometime in 2009, the presence of God came upon me powerfully and the Lord whispered in my ear that He was brining revival to the Assemblies of God.  I wept and wept under the power as I praised God in my heart for this promise.  

Now this leads us to where we're at today.  I believe there are leaders out there and churches who will possibly allow God to move in powerful revival in their local churches... and to those I say, God WILL bring a visitation and habitation of His presence like you couldn't imagine.  Believe for this with all of your heart, be open to the unpredictable, pray and fast for revival, fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and you watch the amazing things that God is going to do!  

However, the glaring reality is that not many churches will embrace revival.  Revival brings the sword oftentimes; it separates the pure from the corrupt, the true from the false, the holy from the religious.  There are consequences to allowing revival.  You may lose some of your church members, you may lose reputation and you may lose control.  Who said those are bad things?  All leaders out there must count this cost.  As my heart is burdened for God's people, I do know that people everywhere across the nation are crying out in their hearts for something more... and God is yearning in His heart to express Himself in greater ways.  

The challenge now lies in leadership.  Will the leaders in America, will the leaders in the Assemblies of God, allow God to be God and step back enough to relinquish control of God's Church back to His Spirit?  I pray they will.  I will tirelessly serve all of those who do so we can together help usher in an era of revival and harvest in America and beyond!

Three keys to seeing miracles, part 1

God has revealed to me three powerful keys regarding seeing great miracles come forth through your life and influence, as you walk in daily revival living.  The first is the "Testimony of Jesus," the second is the "Fear of the Lord," and the third is the "Spirit of Compassion."
 

1.  The Greater the Testimony of Jesus, the greater miracles can occur

Lets look at the first major miracle by the "Church" in the book of Acts.  In Acts, Chapter 3, we see the case where the lame man was healed at the Gate called beautiful.  Immediately in this case, Peter tells him, "In the name of Jesus of Nazareth rise up and walk."  Instantly when the man was healed he knew by who's name he was healed.  Then, Peter began to explain what happened to the people, and within a couple sentences, gives this wonderful explanation of whom the true source of this miracle came from:

16 And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know

Then, the next day, Peter again gave testimony and glory of this great undeniable miracle to the man, Jesus:

Acts 4-

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’^[a^] 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Never once did Peter give credit to anyone but our Savior, Jesus Christ!  This is how it always should be.  Peter never narcissistically discussed himself; his church, his ministry, his website.  It was all about Jesus from the moment he ministered to this man and he gave every single ounce of credit to the one who carries the name like none other under heaven to bring salvation to the world!

The Apostles clearly knew that the only way supernatural miracles would happen is through the name of Jesus as they prayed in Acts 4:29,30- "Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus."

Giving Jesus all the glory for healings is also so necessary because of our human sinful natures that could revel in supernatural miracles and possibly begin to believe they have something to do with something good in us.  They do have something to do with us, as far as administering these miracles is concerned, but the only good supernatural power that can occur through our lives comes from our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus.  Even though we administer healing the more we lift up Jesus throughout this process, the more people will look to Him, and not us.  The power and pride that can come with seeing supernatural miracles happen by the work of our hands will be as low as possible the more we give Him glory.  We must immediately give our crowns to the Lord and continue to let people know that it is He who is the source of healing and power.  

Healing Revivalist, William Branham, moved in miracles like may have never been seen since the Bible days or the days of the Azusa street revival in the early 1900's.  However, often times in his large tent meetings it took a partnership with Gordon Lindsay (Founder of Christ for the Nations Institute) to bring the teaching gift to teach of Jesus and His ability to heal long before the "healing" time in the meeting really took place.  When people are taught not what Jesus can do, but what He wants to do, and will do, their faith can then respond in such a way that they can receive their miracle.  

You Are Revival!

Wow, Rob Hotchkin should be the marketing director for my new book, "You Are Revival!"  He gives a great pitch on the subject, I couldn't have said it better myself in this short amount of time.  This book is going to be so relevant to what God is saying to the body of Christ right now.  I love it when God confirms things through multiple witnesses!

Are God's Ministers at fault for abortion?

Throughout history God has held His Ministers; His Prophets, Priests, and Preachers, to a very high level of accountability regarding the warnings they are to speak to His people of repentance and accountability to the Word of God.  God's standards have not changed over the years, only man's.  Nowadays we find Ministers who tickle ears to gain acceptance and offerings from people pleased with positive preaching much more than we have a true, hardcore, black and white message from the Word of God regarding sin and the expectations of God for His people to not fall into idolatry.  

However, how often has the Western Church fallen into various forms of idolatry and distractions.  Very few people can argue with me against the fact that the Church looks a lot like the world.  Certainly the Church conforms more to the ways of the world then to the ways of God.  Because of this, people sit in pews Sunday after Sunday thinking they have done their duty with God and are growing spiritually, yet, oftentimes, are so bound by sin and ignorance that they couldn't get very far towards growing in the things of the Lord, no matter how hard they try.  With God all things are possible and we thank the Holy Spirit for taking us from glory to glory and bringing His sanctifying work into our lives.  However, the majority of church-goers never experience this level of the work of God in their lives.  Who's fault is this?  Is it theirs?  Every man is condemned by sin without accepting the sacrifice of Jesus' blood to cover their sins, however, when it comes to Christian living, God holds people accountable to what they know.  He expects more from those who know more about His will and His Word.  The only way they will know is if somebody goes to them and tells them.  That, my friends, is why God has Ministers.  We are all called to be Ministers in one form or another and the ones of us with the greatest level of influence are always held to much higher standards of accountability to the souls they affect on a daily and weekly basis.  So what does this have to do with abortion?  I'm glad I rhetorically asked.  

Most Christians conform to what is socially and culturally acceptable not what is heavenly acceptable.  This goes for sexual promiscuity and and things like the political hot topic of "abortion."  Contrary to what may seem obvious, most Christians do NOT know that abortion is not Ok with God.  As somebody who is a self-proclaimed on-fire-for-God Revivalist and Evangelist, I didn't even know the seriousness of this crime against God until I really started studying for myself a couple of years ago.  It's no wonder why many in the church have had abortions, or at least condoned abortions... they don't even know its wrong.  I believe it is out of order for us to call people to repentance without telling them first why what they are doing is a sin in the first place.  If we tell people to repent of this evil atrocity without first explaining why, they may feel violated and confused.   Repentance is useless if it doesn't bring true conviction and true change of lifestyle.

I believe before we call anyone to repentance and healing from the consequences of sexual immorality (which is the main root cause of the abortion issue), we, as Ministers of God, need to ask people first for forgiveness as we repent to them for not sharing with them the truths of God's scriptures in holiness, power, and purity, like we should.  I need to repent for not sharing God's heart and God's Word for people like I could regarding His desire for His people to be holy as He is holy and what exactly that means.  

The abortion problem is a problem of sexual immorality which leads to people to sacrifice babies at the altars of convenience because they consider that a viable option.  Why wouldn't they?  It is a completely viable option in the Western world.  If nobody has told them any different they should not be held to any higher level of account.  The ones that should be held to a higher level of account are God's Ministers; God's voices on earth to people who are lost, dying, broken and beat-down by their sin.  We know the disease and we have the cure, yet we pussyfoot around the tough issues and tough sermons and an entire generation is perishing because of it.  

The abortion issue is not even about abortion as an act, as a law, or as a choice.  The abortion issue is about God's Ministers not telling people the truth.  We must repent before we ask anyone else to repent lest the blood of 50+ million babies be on our hands!

With fear and trembling let us forever proclaim the truths of God's Word without pulling any punches.  This is the first step to seeing a Nation turn from her wicked ways so that God can heal our land.

Lord, I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of this nation.  God, end abortion, and send revival to America!

Your Keys to Living in Permanent Revival, p1

"The 100 Year Bloom - Your Keys to Living in Permanent Revival," by Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda

 

The believer's KEY to living in messy revival is THANKFULNESS:  The way into the Presence was through the Gate of Thanksgiving.  When messy revival shows up, be thankful He has come!  "When there are no oxen in the stall the trough is clean but much increase comes from the strength of the ox."  Proverbs 14:4.
  

Why the Lakeland Outpouring happened...

As we near the two year anniversary of the historic and great Outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the world through what is now known as the Lakeland Outpouring (because of where the Revival Outpouring meetings were being held, Lakeland, FL), God has given me a renewed understanding of why this revival Outpouring happened and what the next revival outpouring is going to look like.  

There is a new wineskin of revival in the land, and by one noted leader's common description, a "new breed" of Revivalists are being raised up in the earth right now.  This leader is Banning Liebscher, the founder of the "Jesus Culture" movement which has its origins tied to Bethel Church in Redding, CA, led by Senior Pastor Bill Johnson.  

It's really no comparison at all when you see what happened with Lakeland and Todd Bentley and what is happening with Jesus Culture, but these two moves of God have at least one thing in common (other than being Holy Spirit orchestrated)... me.  That's right, me.  I spent a couple weeks in Lakeland and was touched by that Outpouring and now I'm fueling the new breed of Revivalists in this nation that are represented by movements like Jesus Culture.  I know there are many others just like me but what is really interesting with this connection is that God is giving me new revelation to what season we are in regarding revival and what is up ahead of us.  

Certainly many Prophets have been prophesying for years that we are going to see an Outpouring of the Spirit, a flood of God's grace, a deluge of heaven's rain that will far surpass all other revivals throughout history in connection with God's endtime harvest of souls.  If this is in fact true, I believe both Lakeland and this Jesus Culture movement have a very important connection for us to understand.  

The Lakeland Outpouring moved locations many times to accomodate the amount of people who migrated there to see what God was doing due to the worldwide exposure of the Outpouring.  Sometimes the worship nights were in a covention center/hockey rink, other times at Ignited Church, where it all began, and most interestingly, at an outdoor baseball stadium, Tiger Stadium.  I happened to be there the first night of the outdoor event.  Many remarkable miracles happened that weekend, although after the very first night of observation, I did prophesy to my wife and two friends that Todd would fall.  I wasn't prophesying doom (I hope -- I rarely, if ever, have done that), I just somehow knew it in my spirit.  People were looking at him too much instead of Jesus.  He was getting quite a bit of attention and harassment.  Eventhough, I felt this would happen, I, unlike many people (even to this day), was able to discern that this Outpouring was about God, not about Todd.  This was the Holy Spirit's Outpouring, not Fresh Fire Ministries, or Todd Bentley, or whomever.  Todd, and his ministry at the time, were simply able to steward what God wanted to do (for a season).  Todd, a Revivalist, and I believe true lover of God, was a forerunner in this revival movement.  

Prophet Paul Keith Davis says in one of his teaching CDs in the "Feast of Tabernacles" series that he believes Lakeland was the end of an era.  I would have to completely disagree.  Lakeland was the beginning of an era!  Another Prophet, Paul Cain, who accompanied Todd on stage the Sunday night of the first weekend at the Tiger stadium, mentioned a prophecy of his that was now being fulfilled before our very eyes.  The prophesy is that God will begin to fill stadiums around the world with revival Outpouring meetings that will begin to bring in this endtime harvest.  

This leads me back to the tie in with Jesus Culture.  As my wife and I attended a Jesus Culture gathering this past weekend in Las Vegas, a powerful Spirit of Worship was in that place.  Under this Anointing, Banning Liebscher began to testify and prophesy, with the Spirit of Intercession, that God was going to begin filling up stadiums with Revivalists from around the world, revivalists just like what Banning and I are trying to raise up and equip!  In the Spirit, I knew this was from God and I, myself, got a glimpse of this future destiny of mine, preaching and moving in signs and wonders in stadiums... in AMERICA!  I know, you may not think it's possible but it is and YOU WILL SEE IT!  I received a mantle for this that night and am believing with all my heart that this will come to pass.

Prophet Paul Keith Davis has been prophesying that what is in Africa and India will be coming to America and we better be ready!  He is mostly talking about the level of witchcraft and blatant spiritual evil which exists at a ground level.  However, what he didn't talk about is what I see... HUGE POWER EVANGELISM MEETINGS!  That's right, althouth Africa and India may have much more obvious witchcraft, there are also mass evangelistic crusades that reach as many as a million people at a time with signs, wonders, and miracles, that for the most part, greatly exceed anything we have seen in America since the fifties... that is UNTIL NOW!

I believe God is raising up a mighty generation of revivalists that will carry God's favor and God's authority that comes from only a place of intimacy with Him and being taught by His Anointing, The person of the Holy Spirit.  Todd Bentley was a forerunner revivalist who reached an intimate place with the Lord and was thus allowed to steward something mighty and wonderful.  However, God is again preparing not just one Todd Bentley, one Banning Liebscher, or one Matt Skamser, God is preparing an entire army of sold-out, on fire Revivalists that will be mature, ready, and willing to lay it all on the line to steward this massive harvest of souls and worldwide outpouring of the Holy Spirit!

The reason why Lakeland happened is that the Lakeland Outpouring was a seed that had to go into the ground and die.  Jesus, Himself, said, "I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds (John 12:24)."

Lakeland had to die.  It was the seed.  However, a day is coming soon when the many seeds will begin to sprout and bear the life and fruit of a massive Holy Spirit Awakening in stadiums across America and the world!

ARE YOU READY FOR IT?!
