The Revival Manifesto

We are a network of thousands of believers from around this nation.

You may have seen us before casting out demons downtown or praying for the person in the wheelchair in Walmart.

We contend for the promises of God through prayer and fasting.

We bring renewal to churches.  We dance when we worship.

We can preach, teach, prophesy, or heal.  Why not?  If it's in The Good Book we'll do it.  

We're an army armed with only intimacy with Christ.  It's a weapon no evil can stand against.

We don't blame the devil for our problems.

We don't wait on God to grace us with His presence we act as carriers of His presence.

When there is injustice or pain in this world we don't blame God.  The problem is never with God, the source of our redemption, the problem is with the channels the source has to flow through... us.

We embrace uncomfortability, we live on purpose, we press in to the Kingdom.

We reject status quo Christianity, powerless traditions and anyone who doesn't believe in the power of the Holy Spirit.  He is our best friend.  Without Him truth would be incomprehensible and our words of faith would merely fall to the ground.

Every thought and action is focused on one person, His name is Jesus.

We are consumed by God's Word and compelled by His Spirit.

We will not wait around for Jesus to come or sit around hoping and praying that God do something in our lives and in this nation.  Instead we will be an answer to prayer.

You may find us demonstrating for the rights of the unborn, volunteering to raise funds for noble ministries or handing out burritos to the poor in the park.

24x7 prayer rooms at 2AM, we're there. Open air preaching outside of the bars and strip clubs, you bet!

We are all professional ministers, yet almost none of us get paid to do so.  This is our life.  

We're hungry and thirsty for holiness in our own lives and righteousness in the land... and we will be filled!  

You won't necessarily know our name but you'll take notice when we enter a room.  

Our first love remains strong, our fires burn brightly.

If sin comes our way it cannot stay.  If sickness or disease crosses our paths it must go.

We want more of Jesus every day and we won't be denied.   No distraction of the world can compare.

We are known in heaven and hell; we speak with authority!

We are committed to breaking shackles of religious bondage that bind the Church.  

We walk in the freedom as Sons and Daughters of God yet are completely slaves to Him.

When He speaks we listen.  What He says we do.

We are no longer praying for a Great Awakening we are living as those who are already awake.

We value being over doing.  We are because He is.  We live to bring Him glory.

We are God's silent army who are silent no more!

We burn with a passion for what God hates and what God loves.

We know that God has not changed, He desires revival more than we do.

Jesus is interceding on our behalf right now so we will do greater things on earth then He did and we will honor those prayers.

We give and live radically.  We surrender to His will.

We want to get back to the power of Pentecost in our churches; the power of the Holy Spirit, and living the message of a Jesus who is alive and well and can be experienced now.  

We can't change who we were created to be and wouldn't want to anyway. 

We don't need anyone's permission or credentials to live as Anointed Ones.

God's opinion of us makes man's opinion of us irrelevant.

We fear Him above all else.  We love Him by loving others.

A priceless price has been paid that we may live forever, a message we are committed to spread.

Jesus is life and truth, His heavenly treasures are our desire.

We will not stop and hang out at the door of salvation but will be led by the Spirit into a life of the Kingdom.

As long as there is evil in this world we are not satisfied.  As long as there is one who has not heard the Gospel we will not stop.  We will not quit!

We serve the greatest of these to the least of these, we are no respecter of persons.  We give greatest honor to the least honorable parts.  

We desire enemies so we can learn to love them.  We fight for the truth of the simplicity of the Gospel.

We are filled with the Holy Spirit.  The Word of the Lord propels us.  The wind of His Spirit pushes our sails where He wills.

We believe God is moving powerfully in this city and in this nation through His people.  We are those people.  

We ARE revival in America!

This is what revival looks like.  It's not about a meeting, ministry or denomination.  Revival is a movement... and it starts with you!

Believe with us for a massive harvest of souls and the Next Great Awakening that will rock this nation!
