FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING 13TH OF JANUARY 2023 FASTING TIMES: THURSDAY 9PM - 6PM FRIDAY TYPE: DRY FAST, WATER FAST OR FRUIT FAST GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING BLOG: https://www.repentancerevival.com/single-post/corporate-weekly-friday-fasting TIME TO SERVE THE LORD IN 2023 Scripture Text: Joshua 24:15 "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Each person must find the perfect will of God for their own life's. First one must spend time with the Lord and listen to the still small voice that will direct any hungry heart that seeks His face. Then once you have attempted that then you step out in that specific area, even if it means making mistakes along the way. Example: If you are called to preach, then you must be faithful within your own area of influence first. For me I started handing out gospel tracts, preaching on the streets for many years evangelising at work and anywhere possible before doors opened for other churches and before I left my homeland country as a missionary. When the Lord gives you a specific mission, He also will provide for that mission in ways that you cannot understand. When Gods work is done His righteous way backed up with complete 100% faith, it will never lack His anointing or support to complete that very task. Many starts off walking until they hit a roadblock forcing them not to go any further, see the enemy will send challenges and hindrances our way. He does this that you may stop pursuing the mission God has assigned for your life. 2023 truly is a year for you to walk in the higher calling that is above your career, your family, your hobbies, and your leisure. So precious saints, as we seek the Lord again today in prayer and fasting this corporate Friday fast, let us ask the Lord to truly revive us once more, so that you and your family may serve the Lord together. Ask Him to reveal to you exactly what He wants you to do and where you to go. Seek Him while He may still be found by you precious saints, for surly the Messiah is coming for His perfect mature bride, that will be found busy on His return. So, reach out to the Lord today and cry out for more of God’s glory and goodness in your life precious saints, for it is time for revival in the nations. So, allow todays revival story to stir you up to revival, like never before and believe for the impossible. TODAY'S REVIVAL STORY 1962 – August: Santo, Vanuatu (Paul Grant) (Note: Please google these locations to see where they are on the map, so you can get a better feel and idea where God poured out His Spirit.) Australian Apostolic missionary pastor-teacher, Paul Grant, saw early stirrings of revival in Vanuatu. He commented in an unpublished report: It is important to note the following components in the lead-up to later visitation and reviving: 1. A shared concern of missionaries for revival. 2. A significantly developed interest in the quickening power of the Spirit among west Ambai church members and leaders through teaching of the Scriptures and news of revival and the power-works of the Spirit in other parts of the world, e.g. a Series of talks on the East Africa revival, the Welsh revival, signs and wonders and healings as reported from the Apostolic Church in Papua New Guinea, and inspiring records in other magazines. 3. An emphasis on prayer meetings, both between missionaries and in local churches. 4. Regular and frequent prayers for a visitation of God’s Spirit by Apostolic Churches around the world. The first Monday night of each month was observed as a prayer night for worldwide missions. 5. Concentrated, sustained Scripture teaching in the classrooms of the primary school where students later would experience the power of God. By 1961 I had spent nine years among the people learning many valuable lessons in cross-cultural service and feeling myself being incorporated into their ‘family’ stage by stage. Church services were free and open for much congregational participation. During 1961 in the construction and opening of a new school building a spirit of prayer was noticeably intense. A week of prayer prior to the special ceremonies for the dedication of the school building was a markedly powerful time. On Santo Island in the town of Luganville a non-professional missionary of the Apostolic Church, a builder, was experiencing a surge of power in the local church fellowship consisting principally of people from Ambae working in this urban situation. Then came a series of significant episodes. Beginning in the Santo church on August 15th, 1962, and continuing there and in churches on Ambae (commencing in Tafala village in October) over a period of about 12 weeks the power of God moved upon young people. There were many instances of glossolalia, healings, prophetic utterances, excitation, loud acclamations to God in public services, incidents of deep conviction of sin, conversions, restitutions, and other manifestations of holiness of life. From diary and report records I have the following observations: 1. Shouts and liberty and outstretched arms, fervent praying by all … for one hour (24 August). 2. I’ve never seen such passionate fervency (7 September). 3. Abraham (young man) through the day had sought the Lord … at night he was filled with the Spirit (8 October). 4. … these baptisms (in the Spirit) have produced a reverence and spiritual quickening of depth and sincerity (14 October 14). 5. … reverence is prominent. 6. … Stanley (young man) in the classroom broke forth in other tongues during a Bible lesson on 2 Corinthians 4 … prayer … four students committed themselves to Christ (2 December). 7. Thomas (an older man) told me he was drawn by the Spirit to the school building to listen (3 December). 8. Williamson … has thrown away his cigarettes … agitated over temptation … asked for prayer (3 December). 9. … infusion of new life and power in the weekly meetings (2 January 1963). This visitation resulted in a liveliness not known before. Initially it was mainly among young people. In later months and years it spread among all age groups and to my present knowledge was the first such visitation in the history of the Christian Church in Vanuatu. To me the gratification I gained centred upon the following particulars: 1. The Holy Spirit had animated and empowered a people who were well taught in the Scriptures. Records show a lift in spiritual vitality in all the village churches. 2. It brought the church as a whole into a more expressive, dynamic dimension and also a charismatic gift function. They were much more able to gain victory over spirit forces so familiar to them. 3. It began to hasten the maturation processes in developing leadership. 4. The reality matched the doctrinal stand of the church. There was now no longer a disparity. 5. It confirmed to me the very great importance of being “steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord forasmuch as you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58 AV). 6. It led to significant outreach in evangelism, both personal and group. … In the following years some of the young men and women served God in evangelistic teams, school teaching, urban witness, government appointments, and as pastors and elders to their own people. One of them has with his wife been an effective missionary… in Papua New Guinea. Similar Spirit movements such as this characterize revival in the islands with their animistic involvement in spirit activity. Christians affirm the power of the Holy Spirit over traditional occult spirits. Many local revival movements have flared up in Vanuatu and the South Pacific. This typical report is from Ruth Rongo of Tongoa Island dated August 28, 1991: “I’ve just come back from an Evangelism ministry. It lasted for three months. God has done many miracles. Many people were shocked by the power of the Holy Spirit. The blind received their sight, the lame walked, the sick were healed. All these were done during this evangelism ministry. We see how God’s promise came into action. The prophet Joel had said it. We people of Vanuatu say, “The spirit of the Lord God is upon us because he has anointed us to preach the Gospel to the poor people of Vanuatu.” Praise God for what he has done. “In where I live, in my poor home, I also started a home cell prayer group. Our goal is that the revival must come in the church. Please pray for me and also for the group. Our prayer group usually meets on Sunday night, after the night meeting. We started at 10.30 pm to 1 or 3.30 am. If we come closer to God, he will also come close to us. We spent more time in listening and responding to God.” These revival movements continue to increase in the Pacific, especially as indigenous teams minister in other areas with the Spirit’s fire. The church grows stronger, even though opposition. Indigenous Christians live and minister in New Testament patterns from house to house, from village to village. That deep work of the Spirit continues now across the world Precious Saints and greater works are yet to be seen as we prepare for the greatest revival ever seen upon the earth. So today I want to encourage you to seek the Lord this Friday fast and believe if God did it before, He will do it again precious saints. Yes, the divine Spirit deeply impacts those who continue to seek the Lord and I know Repentance Revival will spread far and wide beyond the small taste we have experienced so far. Therefore, cry out to the Lord and see what He can do when you submit your life to Him in a deeper way today. Always remain faithful in prayer and fasting and you shall see the fruits of your labour. God bless you, as we pray to the Lord. PRAYERS FOR TODAY'S FASTING PROGRAM Let us pray saints: 1. Lord, let us know you more and seek the higher calling within our lives in Jesus Mighty Name. 2.

Ask God to start that revival in your own heart and life that repentance revival will flow. 5. Ask God what He wants you to do today to apply what He has revealed to you and run with it. What actions will you take after this fasting day? 6. Pray for an alertness and an awakening from spiritual slumber, do that you may be ablaze. Ask the Lord to awaken the remnant body of Christ and draw more saints into the Body of Christ. 7.

FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING 16TH OF DECEMBER 2022 FASTING TIMES: THURSDAY 9PM - 6PM FRIDAY TYPE: DRY FAST, WATER FAST OR FRUIT FAST GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING BLOG: https://www.repentancerevival.com/single-post/corporate-weekly-friday-fasting TRUE POWER COMES FROM THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RELATIONSHIPS Today’s Scripture Readings: Psalm 133:1-2; Luke 10:27 Psalm 133:1-2 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments.” Luke 10:27 “So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ” A person's love for God must show itself in love for people, but for it to be genuine we must first have a personal relationship with God. Precious saints the Christian life is based on a personal relationship with the living God, whose ultimate desire is to be known by us as we are known by Him. See you must create a personal relationship with God especially in your private life, otherwise if done in the public alone it is only dead religion. If you do not know how to create a personal relationship with God, your spiritual life will be easily influenced by this world and all its trappings. There is a time to pray alone and there is a time to come pray with other members of the body of Christ. For when this is combined with private and public together in our weekly lives, you will see the supernatural grace upon your life precious saints. God wants to know you personally in the secret place along with in gathering with others corporately. You will flow in all dimensions if you build a relationship with God at home and in gathering with others – this brings about a double anointing. See God reveals His heart, His thoughts, and His purpose to those who work in friendship with Him and love Him first. Our God has an incredible desire to reveal Himself. The apostle Paul describes it best to the Corinthians that the Holy Spirit is sent to reveal the very plan and thought of God. 1 Corinthians 2:10 “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” We also see that in the book of John that the meaning of external life is knowing God. John 17:3 “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” Therefore, it should not surprise us to see revival accompanied also by demonstration of the power and glory of God who desires us to know Him more and set us ablaze with holy passion. Those who think God has become quiet over the years or that God has retreated behind the clouds until the return of Jesus, really do not understand the passion God has for drawing people to Himself. He desires to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh to see revival precious saints. He desires for you to have encounters with Him that He may show you great and mighty things you have not seen before through the revelation of His glory. What do we mean by the glory of God? Well, there is a weighty shekinah cloud of glory and ultimately it is the goodness of God. Example just for you to be able to breath today, that is the goodness and glory of God. If you have seen the goodness of God in front of you, you have seen the glory of God precious saints and when we have been comforted by God, we then can truly comfort us with the Fathers love. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any [a]trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” So, reach out to the Lord today and cry out for more of God’s glory and goodness in your life precious saints, for it is time for revival in the nations. TODAY'S REVIVAL STORY 1971 – October: Saskatoon, Canada (Bill McLeod) Wilbert (Bill) McLeod, a Baptist minister in his mid-fifties, had seen many people healed in answer to prayer, often praying with a group of deacons. He once anointed a woman with oil and prayed with her when she was dying of cancer. While Bill prayed the woman had a vision of Jesus coming to her and touching her. She was healed. Bill saw nothing. Bill invited the twin evangelists Ralph and Lou Sutera to speak at his church in Saskatoon. Revival broke out with their visit which began on Wednesday 13 October 1971. By the weekend an amazing spirit gripped the people. Many confessed their sins publicly. The first to do so were the twelve counsellors chosen to pray with inquirers. Numbers grew rapidly till the meetings had to be moved to a larger church building and then to the Civic Auditorium seating 2000. The meetings lasted many hours. People did not want to leave. Some stayed on for a later meeting called the Afterglow. Here people received prayer and counsel from the group as they continued to worship God and pray together. Humble confession of sin and reconciliations were common. Many were converted. Taxi drivers became amazed that people were getting cabs home from church late into the night or early into the morning. Others were calling for taxis to take them to church late into the night as they were convicted by the Lord. Young people featured prominently. Almost half those converted were young. They gave testimonies of lives that had been cleaned up by God and how relationships with their families were restored. The atmosphere in schools and colleges changed from rebellion and cheating to cooperation with many Bible studies and prayer groups forming in the schools and universities. Criminals confessed their sins and gave themselves up to the police. Restitution was common. People paid overdue bills. Some businesses opened new accounts to account for the conscience money being paid to them. Those who cheated at restaurants or hotels returned to pay their full bill. People returned stolen goods. Christians found a new radical honesty in their lives. Pride and jealousies were confessed and transformed into humility and love. As people prayed for one another with new tenderness and compassion many experienced healings and deliverance. Not all welcomed the revival. Some churches remained untouched by it or hostile to it. This seems common to all revivals. Sherwood Wirt, editor of the Billy Graham Association’s magazine Decision reported: “One day late in 1971 I read a strange report from Canada. Curious things were taking place in some congregations in the western provinces. Brothers and sisters, it was said, had been reconciled to each other; shop lifted articles had been returned; crimes were being reported by the culprits; church feuds were being resolved; pastors were confessing their pride. “But then I heard this word: “We’re walking knee deep in love up here.” “In November a team went to Winnepeg and told of the revival at a meeting for ministers. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully and many broke down confessing their sins. Rivalries and jealousies were confessed and forgiven. Many went home to put things right with their families. The ministers took this fire back into their churches and the revival spread there also with meetings going late into the night as numbers grew, and hundreds were converted or restored.” Sherwood Wirt reported on Bill McLeod preaching at Winnepeg on 15 December 1971: “I confess that what I saw amazed me. This man preached for only fifteen minutes, and he didn’t even give an invitation! He announced the closing hymn, whereupon a hundred people came out of their seats and knelt at the front of the church. All he said was, ‘That’s right, keep coming!’ “Many were young. Many were in tears. All were from the Canadian Midwest, which is not known for its euphoria. It could be said that what I was witnessing was revival. I believe it was.” Bill McLeod and a team of six brought the revival to the eastern Canada when they were invited to speak at the Central Baptist Seminary in Toronto. The meeting there began at 10 am and went through till 1.15 am next morning. Dinner was cancelled as no one wanted to leave. They did stop for supper, then went on again. When the Sutera brothers commenced meetings in Vancouver on the West Coast on Sunday, May 5, 1972, revival broke out there also in the Ebenezer Baptist Church with 2,000 attending that first Sunday. The next Sunday 3,000 people attended in two churches. After a few weeks five churches were filled. The revival spread in many churches across Canada and into northern U. S. A. especially in Oregon. Everywhere the marks of the revival included honesty before God and others with confession of sin and an outpouring of the love of God in those who repented. The German speaking churches were also touched by the revival and by May 1972 they chartered a flight to Germany for teams to minister there. The Afterglow meetings were common everywhere in the revival. After a meeting had finished those who wanted to stay on for prayer did so. Usually, each person desiring prayer knelt at a chair and others laid hands on them and prayed for them. Many repented and were filled with the Spirit in the Afterglow meetings which often went to midnight or later. Sherwood Wirt reports on his experience of an Afterglow. As he sat in a chair and people came to pray for him. They told him to, Ask God to crucify you. Crucify me? I wasn’t even sure the idea was theologically sound. “To do what?” I stammered. “Nail you to the cross” was the reply … “Now ask God to fill you with his Spirit and thank him for it.” … “You probably don’t have much of a sensation of blessing now… Don’t worry. The feeling will come later and how!” She was right. It came. And it has never left … The Holy Spirit used a divine solvent… to dissolve the bitterness in my heart… In his own time and at his own pleasure he sent a divine solvent into this troubled heart. It was like the warmth of the sun burning off the layers of fog. I don’t know just how the love came in, but I know that all the bitterness I held against others including those near to me disappeared. Resentment hostility hurt feelings you name it. They all dissolved. Evaporated. Went. He commented on this laying hands on people for prayer, which was normal in Afterglows: “Call it revival, renewal, a fresh touch, an anointing, times of refreshing, or what you will. I needed it.” That deep work of the Spirit continues now across the world. Its expressions vary with different cultures and denominational traditions. However, the divine Spirit deeply impacts those who continue to seek the Lord. PRAYERS FOR TODAY'S FASTING PROGRAM Let us pray saints: 1. Lord, let us know you more in our personal relationship, so we may comfort others in Jesus Mighty Name. 2. Lord help us to in unity with those around us, by the bond of Your Spirit in Jesus Mighty Name! 3. Lord we ask through the name of Your Son Jesus that you destroy every work of the devil delaying the fire of repentance revival coming to our lives in Jesus mighty name! 4.

FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING 9TH OF DECEMBER 2022 FASTING TIMES: THURSDAY 9PM - 6PM FRIDAY TYPE: DRY FAST, WATER FAST OR FRUIT FAST GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING BLOG: https://www.repentancerevival.com/single-post/corporate-weekly-friday-fasting CLAIM YOUR RIGHTFUL INHERITANCE Today’s Scripture Readings: Romans 4:17-21, Hebrews 10:36 Romans 4:17-21 “(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.” Hebrews 10:36 “For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:” Precious saints God wants you to claim your rightful inheritance in Him and for you to walk in the fulness of your calling. But unfortunately, many believers today sadly settle for second best and never enter the destiny of their promise land. So the question arises; if a believer doesn’t possess a promise, does the difficulty come from God or from the believer? Off-course, God has never been wrong or at fault with anybody. The major problem is always with men who fail to understand and comply with the conditions to God’s promises. Now this does not mean we will be free from trials for the scripture tells us in Psalms 34:19 that “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but God delivers them from them all” Now for us to fulfil God’s purpose in our lives we need His Holy Spirit to complete, and He is very reliable. The Bible clearly records that God has never failed to fulfil any promise that He made, no matter the magnitude (Read 1 Kings 8:56, Num. 19:22). So, what does it take to possess all that God has promised us? Let's consider a few conditional points to activate divine covenant promises upon our lives. 1. Personalize God’s promise: A divine promise can come to you directly from God through a dream or vision and must always be confirmed by His Word. For instance, you could also be inspired by the Holy Spirit to pick out a scripture that addresses your situation. It is personalized through prayers, and we confess daily until is so deep within our spirit man. When the word becomes flesh in you (meaning deep in your spirit man), the Holy Spirit validates it for you. God says it, you believe and personalized it, then God will settle it. 2. You must exercise your faith: God only fulfilled the promise of Isaac because Abraham had strong faith in Him despite all the discouraging factors that surrounded the promise (Romans 4:19-20, Hebrews 6:11-12, Psalm 27:13-14, Isaiah 40:31). The Bible says, “But was strengthened in faith”. You can strengthen your faith by reading first God’s word, listening to utterances, worship lyrics, by reading or listening testimonies of others, and listening to gospel messages etc. 3. Activate praise and glorify God in speech and praise: This is a deliberate attitude of praising and worshipping God concerning the truth of His promises and evident fulfilment. This is also accompanied with prayer and fasting (Luke 18:1-8) along with and patience (Hebrews 6:11-12). None of God’s promise our lives shall fail us ever in Jesus Mighty Name. Wait for the Lord patiently in faith and always remember that waiting is never wasted, because God will show up at the right time precious saints and you shall testify in Jesus Mighty Name! (Ecclesiastes 3:11). TODAY'S REVIVAL STORY 1965 – September: Soé, Timor (Nahor Leo) (West Timor) Now my wife Aida is from the Eastern side known as Timor Leste (East Timor) and this revival below from the West side had even crossed over eventually to the East Timor. Because of the religious spirit in this strict dominant Catholic country, some reports have been recalled saying that servants even walked on water to cross the rivers dividing the east from the west. Yes, many testimonies occurred with those that originally received the flame of fire from this revival with some of the original converts being thrown into jail after preaching the gospel in the streets and villages and many prison inmates coming to Christ when they were in prison. I will share more stories from Timor Leste (east Timor) later, as I spoke to some of the original Pastors that started spreading the Pentecost experience in the 60’s. But today I want to focus on the west side revival. Spirit movements of revival influenced many thousands of people in Indonesia during the troubled and politically uncertain times there in the sixties. Much of it happened outside the established church, with a later acceptance of it in some churches. Thousands of animistic Muslims were converted, the biggest Christian impact on Islam in history. The Indonesian government and army’s victory over the attempted Communist coup opened the way for the savage killing of 400,000 suspected Communists or sympathizers, so the numbers of nominal Muslims and Christians multiplied. This external motivation explains only part of the rapid multiplication of the church during this period, however. Many nominal animistic Muslims turned to the church not out of fear but out of revulsion toward their fellow Muslim’s slaughter of suspected Communists. The Indonesian Bible Institute, established by Worldwide Evangelisation Crusade missionaries in 1959 at Batu in East Java experienced revival in the sixties with deep repentance, confession, renunciation of occult practices, burning fetishes and amulets, and a new humility and unity among staff and students. Individual students and teams engaged in effective evangelism in many islands. A team of Indonesian students accompanied by a German Lutheran missionary teacher visited Timor during 1965 and saw evidence of revival beginning which burst into unprecedented power in September 1965. Christians and new converts burned amulets, pastors and leaders broke with animistic practices, prayer meetings multiplied, giving increased, heavy drinking of palm wine, and chewing the narcotic betel nut was curtailed, and youth, traditionally the hardest to reach became the most responsive. They formed evangelistic teams of their own to take this new- found gospel of deliverance to outlying villages. This revival spread in the uncertain days following the attempted communist coup on the night of 30 September and 1 October 1965 in Indonesia when six of the eight Indonesian army generals were killed and mutilated, with only Suharto and Nasution narrowly escaping execution. General Suharto became acting president, keeping the popular President Sukarno without power till his death in 1971. At the time of the coup a powerful revival movement had begun in Timor at Soé, a mile-high mountain town of about 5,000 people where Rev. Daniel pastored the Reformed Church. A young man, Nahor Leo, was convicted by a vision of Jesus, destroyed a hidden amulet, and confessed publicly in the Reformed Church on the evening of Sunday, 26 September. The church experienced a Pentecost style Spirit movement. The editors of Tyndale House Publishers, hearing of unusual revival reports from Timor, sent Don Crawford, a trained reporter, to investigate the revival in Indonesia, especially in Timor. He reported this way: Calls to enter an evangelistic ministry came to young people in unusual fashion. Nahor Leo, a high school athlete with a reputation as a rebel, was stirred by a dynamic challenge to Christian service given by the headmistress of a Soé school. Later, studying in his room in Pastor Daniel’s home with two fellow students, he suddenly called out, “Who turned out the light?” Assured it was still burning, Leo stumbled to his bed. “I’m going to rest.” He slept a few minutes. Then, as if wrenched from the bed, he fell to the floor and appeared to be struggling with an invisible force. Leo groped his way to his clothes box and thrust his hand to its bottom, then pulled up the root of a plant which was wound with red string. “Yes,” Leo muttered, as if answering the unseen visitor, “this is my djimat.” Leo’s companions recognized the strange object as an instrument of witchcraft. “It’s true,” Leo spoke again. “I have used it to ask the spirits to help me win races and to attract girls.” The unusual conversation continued for a moment. Then Leo collapsed on the floor. “What’s the matter? Who were you talking to?” one of the boys shouted. Leo slowly turned his sightless eyes toward his companions. At length the white-faced youth replied, “I saw the Lord. He made me reveal the djimat I had never given up. He told me he wanted me to serve him alone. And . . .” his voice trembled . . . “he told me I must have Pastor Daniel pray for me – or I will die. Would you get him, please?” Pastor Daniel came swiftly at the desperate summons. After a prayer of confession, the fetish was burned. Then, reminiscent of the Apostle Paul when he was ministered to by the man of God, Leo’s sight was restored. And, like Paul, Leo became a persuasive evangelist, inspiring others to follow the Christian way. It was the zeal of young leaders like Nahor Leo who formed wide-roving evangelistic teams that fanned the religious fire in Timor, Mr. Daniel told me, and continuing “signs and wonders” have fuelled the flame. For in every case of a supernatural occurrence, there has followed a significant turning to the Christian faith. On Sunday night, September 26, 1965, people heard the sound of a tornado wind and saw flames on the church building which prompted police to set off the fire alarm to summon the volunteer firefighters. Many people were converted that night, many filled with the Spirit including speaking in tongues, some in English who did not know English. By midnight teams of lay people had been organized to begin spreading the gospel the next day. Eventually, about 90 evangelistic teams were formed which functioned powerfully with spiritual gifts. Nahor Leo, the young man who testified that night in the Reformed Church, chose 23 young people who formed an evangelistic group, Team 1. They gave themselves full time to visiting churches and villages and saw thousands converted with multitudes healed and delivered. In one town alone they saw 9,000 people converted in two weeks. Another young man, Mel Tari witnessed this visitation of God and later became part of Team 42. He reported on this revival in two widely read books. Healings and evangelism increased dramatically. Specific directions from the Lord led the teams into powerful ministry with thousands becoming Christians. They saw many healings, miracles such as water being turned to wine for communion, some instantaneous healings, deliverance from witchcraft and demonic powers, and some people raised from death through prayer. The teams were often guided supernaturally including provision of light at night on jungle trails, angelic guides and protection, meagre supplies of food multiplied in pastors’ homes when a team ate together there during famines, and witchdoctors being converted after they saw power encounters when the teams’ prayers banished demons rendering the witchdoctors powerless. Crawford, who gives the most cautions report, gives examples: “I had already heard about some of the early Soé miracles from my missionary friend in Kupang, Marion Allen of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. In visits to Soé during dry seasons he was able to investigate the happenings there. He had told me that almost every type of New Testament miracle had been repeated in the Soé area. One evangelistic team, for example, had gotten to their destination by walking across a flooded mountain stream. At first, they had dismissed the feeling that they should walk on the water even though it had come to the team leader after prayer about the problem. After three successive prayer sessions, with the same apparent answer, the leader took a tentative barefoot step into the water. When he did not sink, the others followed – to the amazement of stranded travellers who witnessed the strange event from both sides of the stream. “Another team, desiring to celebrate the Lord’s Supper but having no wine, were in a similar fashion instructed to use water from a nearby spring. As at the wedding Christ attended in Cana, the water, when drunk for the communion celebration, had become wine. On a hike around the Soé area, Sardjito [the Bible School principal] showed me the spring from which the water-turned-to-wine had come. “Mr. Allen had talked to both major participants in another drama. An elderly woman among the mourners at the funeral of a young boy felt a strong impression to pray for the lad’s life. At first, she resisted the impulse. The boy had been dead several hours and, in that climate, it was imperative that an unembalmed body be buried soon after death. But her feeling persisted. When it came time to put the lid of the wooden coffin in place, she felt compelled to act. She asked if she could offer a prayer. The ceremony was stopped to humour the old woman. While she was praying, the boy stirred, then rose up. “To many observers the fact that the “dead” boy is alive today represents a miracle. But to the believers in Soé the miracle lies rather in how the event was useful in bringing a large number of animist worshipers to faith in Christ. Sardjito and the Soé church’s two pastors, Rev. Daniel and Rev. Binjamin Manuain, all asserted that such occurrences – as well as the testimony of those who had been delivered from the grip of witchcraft – spurred a remarkable growth of Christianity on the island. From Indonesian statistical sources I learned that in the first three years of the movement the Christian population of Timor grew by 200,000.” The teams learned to listen to the Spirit of the Lord and obey him. His leadings came in many biblical ways: 1. God spoke audibly as with Samuel or Saul of Tarsus, 2. many had visions as did Mary or Cornelius, 3. there were inspired dreams such as Jacob, Joseph or Paul saw, 4. prophecies as in Israel and the early church occurred, 5. the still small voice of the Spirit-led many as with Elijah or Pauls missionary team, 6. the Lord often spoke through specific Bible verses, 7. circumstances proved to be God-incidences not just coincidences, 8. often when leadings were checked with the group or the church the Lord gave confirmations and unity as with Paul and Barnabas at Antioch. The American wife of Mel Tari, Nori Tari noted that revival phenomena in Timor were neither obvious nor advertised, even though continually occurring, because the people live in greater awareness of spirit powers, do not talk about miracles except to a spiritual advisor or mentor, and do not expect everyone to be healed. They acknowledge God’s sovereignty, especially in what may happen, when and how it happens and to whom it may happen. The Reformed Church Presbytery on Timor recorded 80,000 conversions from the first year of the revival there, half of those being former communists. They noted that some 15,000 people had been permanently healed in that year. After three years the number of converts had grown to over 200,000. In those three years over 200 evangelistic teams were formed. On another island with very few Christians, 20,000 became believers in the first three years of the revival. These people movements can be studied from a range of perspectives beyond the scope of this thesis, such as the political, social, economic, and historical dynamics involved. However, a crucial element of the Timor revival was the perceived authority and power of the Christians’ God over animistic gods and the confrontation with the authority and the magical powers of the local shaman. Significant church growth, people movements, and evangelism continually demonstrate such a power encounter between God’s Spirit and local gods or spirits. Precious saints, I know revival is at our doorstep and it is time for us to make ourselves available to serve the Lord 100 percent. Today is the first day of 3 days of revival serves in South Africa and we are believing for a great move of God to sweep this nation like never before. Will you join with me today and pray that South Africa may encounter the genuine End-time repentance revival that will prepare the remnant for His soon coming. PRAYERS FOR TODAY'S FASTING PROGRAM Let us pray saints: 1. Lord, let not one of Your promises within our lives fail this month and in 2023 in Jesus Mighty Name. 2. Lord help us to wait patiently upon You in faith always and remind us that waiting is never wasted, because You will show up at the right time in Jesus Mighty Name! 3. Lord we ask through the name of Your Son Jesus that you destroy every work of the devil delaying the fire of repentance revival coming to our lives in Jesus mighty name! 4. Pray that God will reveal His requirements for genuine revival in your life, family, church, community, and nation. Ask God to start that revival in your own heart and life that repentance revival will flow. 5. Ask God what He wants you to do today to apply what He has revealed to you and run with it. What actions will you take after this fasting day? 6. Pray for an alertness and an awakening from spiritual slumber, do that you may be ablaze. Ask the Lord to awaken the remnant body of Christ and draw more saints into the Body of Christ. 7. Declare readiness over God’s people for radical change that will come from a powerful move of God! 8. Decree that lives are being characterised by an increasing hunger for a new move of God in Jesus mighty Name! 9.

Lord let your Holy Spirit fire fall upon each person's home today and be with Pastor Robert as he travels to Namibia next week to stir revival in the hearts of Your remnant in Jesus Mighty Name!

FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING 2ND OF DECEMBER 2022 FASTING TIMES: THURSDAY 9PM - 6PM FRIDAY TYPE: DRY FAST, WATER FAST OR FRUIT FAST GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING BLOG: https://www.repentancerevival.com/single-post/corporate-weekly-friday-fasting DEMONIC DELAYS ARE OVER Today’s Scripture Readings: Daniel 10:10-19, Luke 18:1-8 Daniel 10:10-21 “Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands. 11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling. 12 Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come.” 15 When he had spoken such words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and became speechless. 16 And suddenly, one having the likeness of the [b]sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, “My lord, because of the vision my sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength. 17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me.” 18 Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. 19 And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” So, when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” 20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come. 21 But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince.” Today you also may feel that your prayers are being delayed and you cannot see a way out of that troubled situation, but God is making a way. Just do not give up and keep standing firm in prayer and fasting. Remember the devil is the father of all liars, who is always in the habit of perverting God's agenda and purpose for our lives. Therefore, we must stand firm and resist all his tactics and advances. Precious saints you also need to be sensitive to God’s Kairos (Divine) timing - that is, what God is doing or about to do in your life and prepare yourself adequately for it. Otherwise, you can miss what God wants to do with you and through you. It is time to redeem the time, for all those lost opportunities that have been missed and wasted. Imagine the Prophet Daniel had been praying for 21 days without seeing the result of his prayers. The territorial (principality) strongman of Persia had held down the messenger angel which brought a hindrance to answered prayers. Similarly, the miracles of many children of God are hanging, ambushed, delayed, blocked or unclaimed in the second heavens if we quit. But I believe even today, any territorial principality that has arrested your blessings or purpose shall be paralysed and your blessings shall be released to you, in Jesus Mighty name! So, to delay is to slow down, to retard, to detain, and cause to be late. See God is looking for those that are persistent in prayer even after they receive their breakthrough, that they keep on praying until all of Gods will comes to pass. God is looking for faithful servants that do not give up and the devil does not know what to do with a saint that never gives up hallelujah! Just like the Parable of the Persistent Widow, she did not give up precious saints! Luke 18:1-8 “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor [a]regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow troubles me I will [c]avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ” 6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” We need to be just like this widow, for the Father has promised to avenge His elect and vindicate us from all injustice. So no matter what your delay is today where it is the fruit of the womb, graduation from university and education, promotion in the work place, we are going to believe God will bring a breakthrough. If a strongman is responsible for the delay in your life, God will make a way today. So arise today and fight for what is yours precious saints. As the devil delays us primarily to frustrate us; to afflict us, to create fear, to make us doubt God and consequently, prevent us from receiving our miracles (James 1:5). Some promotion letters have been detained under the table of some demonic bosses, while some have been hidden in a witchcraft cauldron. What about people’s business that they prayed before and then stopped. The angel that was bringing your breakthrough may have been hindered to bring your long-awaited business contract, because it could have been delayed in the second heavens, because of lack of angelic reinforcement. The enemy will not let go without a fight precious saint, but as we keep pushing in prayer we shall receive our deliverance from every demonic hinderance in Jesus Mighty Name! So how do we break free from these delays: 1. We stand upon and absolute trust in the infallibility of the Word of God. 2. We remain persistent standing in the gap on the altar of strategic warfare prayers. 3. Fasting is key to our breakthrough precious saints. TODAY'S REVIVAL STORY German missionary to Africa, Reinhard Bonnke (1940-2019) founded Christ For All Nations (CFAN) which now ministers to millions. Converted at nine, he had a missionary zeal. As a teenager, Reinhard saw Johannesburg in South Africa in a vision of a map of Africa. At 19 he headed off to the Bible College of Wales to train as a missionary, even though he couldn’t speak English. Three months later he was preaching in English! There he learned practical principles of living by faith. After a short pastorate in Germany where he married Anna, they left for German Pentecostal missionary work in Africa. Working as traditional missionaries from 1967 to 1974 in Maseru, the capital of the small landlocked country of Lesotho, they saw meager results. The early days in Lesotho (1974) Near the end of that time Reinhard’s interpreter broke down during his message at a healing meeting one Sunday morning and sank weeping to the floor because of God’s awesome presence. Waiting for the interpreter to recover Reinhard ‘heard’ the Lord speak ‘words’ which amazed him: “My Words in your mouth are just as powerful as My Words in My own mouth.” The ‘voice’ repeated the sentence. He ‘saw’ it like a movie in Scripture – Jesus told the disciples to speak in faith and it would happen. “I suddenly realized that the power was not in the mouth – the power was in the Word,” said Reinhard. Then, when the interpreter had recovered enough to speak, as he was preaching Reinhard ‘heard’ the Spirit say, “Call those who are completely blind and speak the Word of Authority.” He did. About six blind people stood. He boldly proclaimed, “Now I am going to speak with the authority of God, and you are going to see a white man standing before you. Your eyes are going to open.” Taking a deep breath Reinhard shouted: “In the name of Jesus, blind eyes open!” The power of his voice jolted even those on the stage. It felt as though a flaming bolt of lightning was let loose in the building. His voice was still resonating against the bare brick walls when there was another shout. This time it was the shriek of a woman’s voice. What she screamed shattered the silence that hung over the congregation: “I can see! I can see!” She had been totally blind for years. The other blind people also saw. The place erupted in excited cheers. A woman handed her crippled boy through the milling crowd to Reinhard who sensed the power of God on the boy and watched amazed as his crippled legs shook and straightened. He was healed. The meeting went for hours as people screamed, shouted, danced, and sang. At the end of 1974, Reinhard relocated to Johannesburg and established Christ for All Nations (CFAN). Early in January, when he was ill, he had a vision of Jesus similar to the Joshua’s vision (Joshua 5:13-15). He wrote: “I was very sick. I didn’t think I would make it. I went to doctors. Nothing helped. I was crying to God: ‘Lord what are you doing? What is your plan?’ One afternoon I retired to my study. A thirst for prayer came over me and I was hardly on my knees when I saw a most wonderful vision. I saw the son of God stand in front of me in full armour, like a general. The armour saw shining like the sun and burning like fire. It was tremendous and I realised that the Lord of Hosts had come. I threw myself at His feet. I laughed and I cried … I don’t know for how long, but when I got up, I was perfectly healed.” When Reinhard flew to Gaberone in Botswana to buy time on radio there the Lord told him to hire the 10,000-seater sports stadium for a crusade. The local Pentecostal pastor who agreed to help prepare for the crusade was amazed. He had only 40 in his congregation! The crusade in April 1974 with Reinhard’s evangelist friend Pastor Ngidi started in a hall which could seat 800. On the first night 100 attended. Healings happened every night, and people fell to the floor overwhelmed. That was new to Reinhard. By the end of the first week 2,000 people were packed into the hall. So they moved into the stadium! Thousands attended. People were saved and healed every night and over 500 people were baptised in water within two weeks. One night in the stadium, the Holy Spirit urged Reinhard to pray for people to be baptised in the Holy Spirit. So, he asked an African co-worker to give a message on the Holy Spirit. Reinhard felt dissatisfied with talk because it didn’t mention tongues. About 1,000 people responded to the call to be baptised in the Spirit. As soon as they raised their hands, they were all flattened shouting and praising God in new languages on the ground. Reinhard had never seen anything like that before. It continued to happen in his crusades. Reinhard used an enormous tent which could seat 30,000 people. Then the crowds grew so large that no tent could hold them. Some of CFAN crusades in Africa have reached huge open-air crowds of 600,000 to 800,000 people and even over 1 million. Precious saints, the Lord has used many of the past Fathers of faith like john G Lake, Benson Idahosa and Reinhard Bookie to stir my faith to go preach the gospel in the continent of Africa. During my early years ministering in Africa (2012), the Lord showed me in a vision revival that would spread all over Africa. Yes, I saw Africa being ignited with a Gods Holy Fire starting as small fire lights and spreading over the whole continent and then onto the rest of the nations in the world. So may we also join in the faith of John G Lake and Reinhard, to believe that millions of souls shall experience this Endtime repentance revival that is coming very soon within meetings across Africa and beyond. PRAYERS FOR TODAYS FASTING PROGRAM Let us pray saints: 1. Lord, please let your fire of revival fall upon every hungry heart that is reading this program today in Jesus Mighty Name! 2. Lord let your Holy Spirit fire fall upon each person's home today in Jesus Mighty Name! 3. Lord we ask through the name of Your Son Jesus that you destroy every work of the devil delaying the fire of repentance revival coming to our lives in Jesus mighty name! 4. Pray that God will reveal His requirements for genuine revival in your life, family, church, community, and nation. Ask God to start that revival in your own heart and life that repentance revival will flow. 5. Ask God what He wants you to do today to apply what He has revealed to you and run with it. What actions will you take after this fasting day? 6. Pray for an alertness and an awakening from spiritual slumber, do that you may be ablaze. Ask the Lord to awaken the remnant body of Christ and draw more saints into the Body of Christ. 7. Declare readiness over God’s people for radical change that will come from a powerful move of God! 8.

Lord we pray for Pastor Robert’s up and coming meetings in South Africa and Namibia, may the Holy Spirit bring Repentance Revival to these nations and just like how you used Reinhard Bonnke’s faith that Africa must be saved, we pray for all the nations to be saved and experience Repentance Revival in Jesus Mighty name! 12. Any principality in the heavenlies delaying your progress and Gods messengers be removed in Jesus mighty name! 13.

I refuse to give up until my testimony gives birth to many other testimonies and revival comes to my home, church, city, and nation, in the mighty name of Jesus!

WEEKLY FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING 11TH OF NOVEMBER FASTING TIMES: THURSDAY 9PM - 6PM FRIDAY TYPE: DRY FAST, WATER FAST OR FRUIT FAST INFORMATION BLOG: https://www.repentancerevival.com/single-post/corporate-weekly-friday-fasting FAITH COMPELS US TO ACTION "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 When the Lord called us to first sell everything and come and follow the Lord I myself was greatly inspired, by this great man of faith George Muller. As you see below he would put many men of God to shame today. If you have never heard of George Muller, you really should read about his life. He lived in the 19th century in England and is well known for his work starting orphanages and schools. He had a great faith that God would always provide their needs. He practiced his faith by never asking anybody for donations, only asking God to provide. Not only would he not ask for money, but he would also not take any money from the government. He managed to provide for thousands of kids solely from unsolicited gifts. He is well known for his work with orphans, but there is another part of his life that is just as inspiring. After his wife died, he remarried. He and his new wife went on missionary trips for the next 17 years. He traveled over 200,000 miles before there were airplanes. The most incredible thing about this MISSION was that He didn't start until he was 70 years old! Late in his life, he was still serving God in an incredible way. He preached at all of the following places after he was 70 years old: England, Scotland, Ireland, Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, United States, Canada, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Russia, Poland, India, Wales, Australia, China, Japan, the Straits of Malacca, Singapore, Penang, Colombo, (Aus) Tasmania, New Zealand, and Ceylon. He travelled to many of these nations multiple times, and during his first trip to the United States, he visited the White House. After his 70th birthday, George Muller was as "sharp in his mind." His story ought to be an encouragement to us to keep serving God until the day we die. Don't let old age stop your service to our King! Don't let any physical limitation stop you from serving God. Don't let your empty bank account stop you from serving God! Maybe it will change how you serve God, but it should never prevent you from serving God. Keep pressing on! The Lord is looking for real faith on His return and His peace be found in you. Precious saints no matter the level of your faith today, the bible says that faith comes by hear and hearing of the word of God (Romans 10:17). If you desire more faith today then ask the Holy Spirit to increase your faith to trust God for the impossible within your life and that of those around you. TODAY'S REVIVAL STORY 1995 – January: Modesto, California, North America (Glen Berteau) "Heaven's Gates & Hell's Flames" Glenn and Debbie Berteau, pastors of Calvary Temple Worship Centre in Modesto, California, from January 1994, strongly sensed the Lord would give them revival there. Early in 1994, they challenged their congregation with that vision. After the ‘Vision Sunday’, individuals committed themselves to fast on specific days as the congregation became involved in a forty day period of prayer and fasting. In early January 1995, they had a three day fast. The church building remained open for prayer, and people prayed over names on cards left on the altar. Those able to do so met together daily for prayer at noon. Many pastors in the area began meeting each week to pray for the city. On Sunday 15 January 1995, the church began holding performances of the play, Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames. It was scheduled for three days originally but continued for seven weeks with 28 performances. Jann Mathies, pastoral secretary of Calvary Temple reported in April: As of this writing, approximately 81,000 have attended the performance with 90% each night seeing it for the first time. At time of printing, 33,000 decision packets have been handed out, and of that, (confirmed) 20,000 returned with signed decision cards. Over 250 churches have been represented with hundreds of people added to the churches in our city and surrounding communities in less than one month. People come as early as 3:30 pm for a 7 pm performance. There are over 1,000 people waiting to get in at 5 pm, and by 5:30 pm the building is full. Thousands of people have been turned away; some from over 100 miles away. … Husbands and wives are reconciling through salvation; teenagers are bringing their unsaved parents; over 6,000 young people have been saved, including gang members who are laying down gang affiliation and turning in gang paraphernalia. . . . The revival is crossing every age, religion and socio economic status. . . . We have many volunteers coming in every day, and through the evening hours to contact 500 to 600 new believers by phone; special classes have also been established so that new believers may be established in the faith. The play became a focus for revival in the area. Some churches closed their evening service so their people could take their unsaved friends there. One result is that many churches in the area began receiving new coverts and finding their people catching the fire of revival in their praying and evangelising. One church added a third Sunday morning service to accommodate the people. Another church asked their members to give up their seats to visitors. Bible book stores sold more Bibles than usual. A local psychologist reported on deep healings in the lives of many people who attended the drama. That play continues to be used effectively around the world. For example, churches in Australia have performed the play with hundreds converted in a local church. Hardened unbelievers with no place for church in their lives have been converted and now live for God. PRAYERS FOR TODAY'S FASTING PROGRAM Lord, please let your fire of revival fall upon every hungry heart that is reading this program today in Jesus Mighty Name! Lord let your Holy Spirit fire fall upon each person's home today in Jesus Mighty Name! Lord we ask through the name of Your Son Jesus that you destroy every work of the devil delaying the fire of repentance revival coming to our lives in Jesus mighty name! Lord may every evil agents of darkness that were sent to manipulate and destroy the church and that of your remnant be exposed and rendered powerless in Jesus mighty name! Lord, arrest our hearts, so we may be fully yourself today in Jesus Mighty Name! Lord we bind every spirit causing anyone to be lukewarm, weak or in slumber rendered powerless and ask you to come out of our lives in Jesus Might Name! Lord just as you send revival in today's testimony, may it stir within the hearts first of those He is calling and those He is yet to touch in these End-times in Jesus Mighty Name!

WEEKLY FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING 18TH OF NOVEMBER 2022 FASTING TIMES: THURSDAY 9PM - 6PM FRIDAY TYPE: DRY FAST, WATER FAST OR FRUIT FAST INFORMATION BLOG: https://www.repentancerevival.com/single-post/corporate-weekly-friday-fasting TIME FOR REVIVAL WITHIN OUR HOMES Exodus 33:9-10 “As Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and remain at the entrance, and the LORD would speak with Moses. 10When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they would stand up and worship, each one at the entrance to his tent.” Precious Saints, it is Gods desire for you to have strong families built up and grounded strong in faith, that will be separate from this world and all its trappings. When the Israelites were coming out of Egypt on their way to the promised land, they would camp and when they saw the glory cloud descend upon the tent of meeting, each family would stand at the door of their tent and worship God in one accord. Psalm 100:3 “Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.” We are the sheep of His pasture and God desires us to dwell in unity together. Yes, God desire for families to be unified by the bond of HIs Spirit, that they also may worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Therefore, I would like to encourage all those that are wanting to go to a deeper level in the Lord and that desire their families to be revived to join us for this day of Corporate Friday Fasting for a revival of God’s presence and work in your own life’s, our families and church. See when churches conduct “revival” services, they frequently see many people place their faith in Christ. Consequently, many think of revival as an evangelistic service ale. But revival is what God accomplishes with His people when they return to Him. Revival comes when God restores life and vitality to His people. Revival is evident when His power and presence is made know in an individual, family and community. When genuine revival comes to God’s people, God’s activity becomes the talk of the individual, family, and town. When John the Baptist preached a message of repentance, he required “fruits of repentance.” I asked, “What is the fruit of repentance for prayerlessness?” it is prayer and fasting precious saints! So as an individual or family let us pray and fast regularly together for our nations to come to repentance within this hour before the Lords soon snatching away. It is vital that we come together corporately to surrender our Life’s and apathy, for a revived heart that is set ablaze for the Lord, so that people will start to come to the faith in Christ! I believe this truly is the hour for revival, but we as His remnant must be the first to cry out for God to pour out His Spirit upon our lives, so we can be the spark within our families, cities, and nations. May the below true revival story stir up your heart to repentance and cry out for so much more within these latter days. TODAY'S REVIVAL STORY 1997 – January: Baltimore, Maryland, North America (Pastor Bart & Coralee Pierce) As with the centripetal influence of Azusa Street from 1906, centres of revival in the current developments influence ever widening areas receptive to it. A significant, on-going example is the influence of revival in places such as Houston on other areas. Bart Pierce, pastor of Rock Church in Baltimore, Maryland, with a 3,000 seat auditorium, invited Tommy Tenney to speak at his church. Charisma magazine reported: Bart Pierce will never forget the day the Holy Spirit fell at his church in the rolling suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. It wasn’t gradual, nor was it subtle. God showed up during the Sunday morning service on January 19, 1997. Pierce, pastor of Rock Church in Baltimore, and his wife, Coralee, had just returned from a pastors’ retreat in St. Augustine, Florida. Pierce says he went to the retreat with “a desperate, deep hunger for more of God.” While there, he heard Tommy Tenney recount an event that occurred in a Houston church a few months earlier. … Tenney, a third generation travelling evangelist, told the gathered pastors that the drama of the split pulpit was totally eclipsed by the awesome presence of God that filled the sanctuary immediately after the supernatural event. “The revival,” Tenney told them, “Was characterized by a deep sense of humility, brokenness and repentance.” While Tenney spoke, many of the pastors, including Pierce, fell on their faces weeping. Pierce spent much of his time at the retreat prostrated and weeping before the Lord. When it ended, he asked Tenney to come back to Baltimore with him for the weekend. On the 18-hour drive home, Pierce, his wife and Tenney had “an encounter of God as we talked about what God was doing and what we believed,” Pierce says. “We would sit in the car and weep,” recalls Tenney. They reached Baltimore on Saturday night, filled with a hunger for more of the Lord. The next morning Pierce knew something was up as soon as he got to the church building. “Two of my elders were standing inside the door weeping,” he says. “We started worshiping, then people began standing up all over the building crying out loud.” Some came forward to the altar; others would “start for the altar and crumple in the aisle.” Even those outside the sanctuary were affected. “Back in the hallways, people were going down under the power of God. We never really got to preach,” Pierce says. Tenney and Pierce were supposed to be leading the service, but both were too overcome by the intense presence of God to do anything but cry. “There was a deep sense of repentance that grew increasingly more intense,” Pierce recounts. At 4 p.m. there were still bodies lying all over the church floor. Pierce and Tenney tried several times to speak, but each time they were overwhelmed by tears. “Finally,” says Pierce, “we told our leadership team, ‘We’re going home to change clothes.’ We were a mess from lying on the floor and weeping.” The two men went home and changed. When they got back to the church at 6 p.m., people were still there, and more were coming. That first “service” continued until 2 in the morning. Monday night, people returned, and the same thing happened. It happened again Tuesday night. “Many people simply crawled under the pews to hide and weep and cry,” remembers Pierce. “At times the crying was so loud, it was eerie.” Pierce noticed new faces in the congregation. “We didn’t have a clue as to how they knew about the service, because we don’t advertise at all,” he says. When he asked, some of the visitors told amazing stories. One man said he was driving down the road when God told him, “Go to Rock Church.” Another woman said she was sitting at her kitchen table when she got the same message. She didn’t know what a “Rock Church” was, but she found a listing in the phone book. After the service she tearfully confided that she had been planning to leave her husband the next morning. “God had totally turned her heart,” says Pierce. “She and her husband have been totally restored.” For the first few weeks, Pierce says, “every ministry at the church was turned upside down.” The church has always been known for its mercy ministries — its homeless shelter for men, its home for women in crisis, its food distribution program, which moves 7 million pounds of food a year, and its ministry to revive Baltimore’s inner city. But when the revival started, everything took a back seat to what God was doing. Pierce would find his staff lying on the floor in the hallways or hear a thump against the wall and find someone lying on the floor in the next room, crying uncontrollably. People reported supernatural events in their homes, too. One woman’s unsaved husband had a dream in which everyone spoke Chinese. He came downstairs and found his wife lying on the floor speaking Chinese. His son, who was supposed to be getting ready for school, was lying on the floor in the living room, weeping and crying. That day, the man got saved. One night a boy from a local gang came forward weeping while Tenney was still preaching. “He came to the front, looked up at me and said, ‘You’ve got to help me, because I just can’t take it anymore,’” Tenney recalls. The church doesn’t keep figures on the numbers of people who have come to faith in Jesus since the revival started because they encourage people to go back to their home churches. Many pastors bring their people to the services in Baltimore because they know that Rock Church won’t steal their flock. … “On any given night we have 12 to 20 pastors from the Baltimore area,” Pierce says. Still, some do come long distances. One night they looked out and saw 47 Koreans who had chartered a plane to come. Another time a group from Iceland was there. They have had visitors from Britain, Germany, the Ukraine and all across America. … Today, services in Baltimore are quieter and gentler than they were during the first few months of revival. But the worship music is powerful, and the singing draws the congregation to Jesus. Most of the songs were written by people in the church after the revival began. The convicting presence of God draws people to this church which also invests heavily in social caring ministries. Like other centres of revival, it has seen thousands make commitments to Christ, lives transformed, and it continues to minister to people in need. Bart Pierce is the co-founder of Global Compassion Network (GCN), an organization that networks USA and foreign nations for the purpose of reaching those in crisis. He offers apostolic oversight to churches throughout the US, and in nations such as Ukraine, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, India and Pakistan. Many countries worldwide have been experiencing similar Spirit movements in which a specific impact, anointing or ‘baptism’ of the Spirit on a group of people ignites a revival movement. This includes Australia. PRAYERS FOR TODAYS FASTING PROGRAM Let us pray saints: 1.
