"Apostolic Revival"
By Matt Sorger
Igniting Revival Fire
www.mattsorger.com
 The
Lord is restoring true apostolic anointing and empowerment. This revival
is apostolic in nature. It's a restoration of the fullness of the five-fold
ministry and with that, a restoration of the fullness of God's presence
and power in the earth.
THESE ARE SEVERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
THIS APOSTOLIC REVIVAL:
RELEASE OF GREAT POWER
There's a place where mass miracles break out. It's that mass breaker
anointing that releases miracles on a mass scale, where all throughout
the city, miracles will be happening. In all the churches seeking God,
miracles will be happening -- out on the streets, in the homes, in the
church services -- miracles will be happening. People will just get healed
walking into the presence of the glory. People won't even necessarily
have to pray for the sick. They will be healed just walking in. Homes
will be so filled with the glory that people will be healed just walking
into them. There will be such a weight of God's glory upon all of you.
There is a reason God releases this level of power. In Acts 3,
Peter and John were walking to the temple, and God's power healed the
lame man. As a result of this one miracle, many heard the word and believed
-- this number of men came to 5,000. Instantly overnight, there was a
supernatural multiplication because of the miracle power. The whole city
was in an uproar because of this one miracle. Its mass miracles for mass
harvest. That's the revival I'm talking about for mass harvest. In Acts
8:4, they preached the word with miracles. Multitudes were saved,
and there was great joy in the city. When miracles happen, the city will
be a happy place.
EVEN THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE NOTICE
Even the government and those in leadership will have to take notice.
They will say, "What is happening in our city? What is happening
with these Christians? We've never seen anything like this. There's no
crime, no sickness in the city; there's just joy in the city." Even
the government will have to take notice, whether they want to or not.
In Acts 9:32-35, there's a connection between apostolic power and
mass salvation. Ananeas was bedridden 8 years because he was paralyzed.
Peter prayed, and he was healed. And all who dwelt in Lydda and Sharon
saw him and turned to the Lord. Two cities were saved -- great power,
great miracles, mass salvation, and great joy in the city. It's all connected
together.
YOU ARE IN A SPIRITUAL INCUBATOR
The waiting is part of the birthing. This place is an incubator in the
Spirit. God is incubating you in the Spirit. Out of the incubator, new
life comes forth. There is a place of waiting that will birth this thing
into the earth. God has been speaking to me about waiting and tarrying
in His presence because there is something released out of that place.
It's connected to the latter-rain glory. There is a place of birthing
that rains into the earth.
In I Kings 18:1, God spoke to Elijah. He said, "I am going
to send rain on the earth, just like Joel prophesied the latter-rain is
coming, and all of your sons and daughters will prophecy." God has
been saying that the rain is coming. God spoke to Elijah, and he went
up to the top of Mount Carmel. In verse 42, he bows down to ground and
puts his face between his knees. In verses 43-46, Elijah is in this place
of birthing and waiting on the promise of God. God said that the rain
was coming.
There was no doubt in Elijah's heart
that it was coming. Six times he sends his servant to see. On the seventh
time, he sees a small cloud the size of a man's hand. I see the cloud.
It's here. IT'S HERE! We are sitting in the cloud right
now.
THE SIMPLE GOSPEL MESSAGE BEING RESTORED
There is simplicity of the gospel coming forth. It's the pure simplicity
of the gospel message. The pure simple word of God that causes men to
bow down before Jesus is, "Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand."
The sinners repent because it's a simple, pure gospel message. Don't over
complicate it.
"Nor is there
salvation in any other for there is no other name under heaven by which
men must be saved." -- Acts 4:12
There is no other name that can save
us. In Acts 8:4-5, Philip preached Christ to them. He preached
the simple message of who Jesus was. He preached the word with power.
There is a restoration coming of the pure gospel message. There is a new
breed being raised up that will carry the pure gospel message like Billy
Graham. They will proclaim, "There is no other name by which you
can be saved." A pure gospel message will go forth.
SIMPLE CHILDLIKE FAITH
A new believer's faith is so simple and childlike. They just believe God's
word. That's the key: just believe. They haven't been over-indoctrinated.
They take the word for exactly what it says. It's simple, childlike faith
-- only believe. Jesus knew we needed it
to be easy. We get lost if it gets too complicated.
APOSTOLIC POWER TO GET WEALTH
In Acts 4:32, we see the apostolic power to get wealth. No one
lacked. They sold lands and houses and laid the proceeds of what was sold
at the apostles' feet. The apostles distributed wherever there was need.
It's the power to get supernatural wealth, not to just get rich.
I'm not saying that God doesn't want
us to be blessed, but when the Lord brought the finances to the apostles,
they distributed as anyone had need. The power to get wealth was to meet
the need of the people. There is a power to get wealth. There is an anointing
to get wealth. The wealth of the gentiles is being stored up for us. The
apostolic anointing actually draws supernatural finances to itself. It's
part of the apostolic authority, so they can then give and distribute
to meet the need of the people and see that the work of the kingdom goes
forth.
I believe that in the process, God
does want to bless us. Jesus never condemned anyone for being rich. If
you're rich make sure that you're not worshipping money. Make sure that
you are giving to the poor. Jesus never condemned the rich person for
having money. He condemned the love of money and holding it more precious
than your relationship with God.
We need some good Holy Ghost millionaires.
The money was laid at the apostles' feet, and they gave it away. There
has been an abuse of finances in the church. You can take anything to
an extreme, but that doesn't negate the truth of God's word. God wants
us to have lots of money so that we can feed the poor, evangelize to the
lost, and see the gospel spread throughout the whole earth. Believe God
for abundant blessing in your life!

"The
Reality of the Supernatural World"
by Todd Bentley
$20.00
Book
|
| |
|
|
|
God wants to bring you
into a heavenly experience with Him. He doesn't want to wait until
you get to heaven to show you His supernatural realm where you can:
experience the throne room, see the sea of glass like crystal, receive
visitations by angels, or get caught in the liquid-honey, glory
cloud of His awesome presence.
We serve a supernatural God who takes ordinary men and women and
encounters them in extraordinary ways. You too can visit paradise
like Paul, or see angels ascending and descending the heavenly ladder
as Jacob did, or be taken by the Spirit into visions of God like
Elisha. God says, "Come up here, and I will show you things
which must take place . . . " (Rev. 4:1). How would you like
to see the things the Father is doing; not just glimpse, but see
into heaven just as Jesus and John did?
In The Reality of the Supernatural World, revivalist Todd Bentley
inspires you to develop a "kingdom now mindset" by exploring
the keys to tearing open the heavens in your life and ministry,
and examining what those supernatural visits and experiences are
all about. Learn how the seven Spirits of God can stir up wisdom
and revelation in your life. Understand how to release breakthroughs
with prophetic decrees and how to birth the prophetic destiny words
you've received over your life. Activate your spiritual senses.
Discover the moving throne of Revelation 4 and 5 and its relevance
for today, not just in end times. Study the activity of angels and
learn about their place in Scripture and in your life.
It is Todd's prayer and belief that as you read this book you'll
come under a powerful anointing to walk daily in the reality of
the supernatural and be a vessel for miracles, signs and wonders.
God wants your life to be a prophetic message that carries supernatural
substance. The Reality of the Supernatural World will inspire you
to believe in a bigger God than you have ever known . . .

| Foreword
to God Encounters:
 My
favorite books have three elements to them:
1. They have fresh revelation from God. In such a book there's
a newness to what is written, bringing us biblical insights
that have an immediate impact on the way we see and the way
we live. They do more than say "amen" to what we
already know. By nature they challenge and invite us, all
in the same breath. This book is packed with revelation.
2. They embrace mystery as a necessary part of our faith.
Sometimes what we don't understand is as important as
what we do. The Golls have effectively embraced the mystery
of their encounters with God, resisting the temptation to
over-explain. By doing so they reveal their own integrity
in remaining true to their God-given assignment to give it
to us the way God gave it to them. What they do explain will
keep the reader busy for a long time to come.
3. They declare and demonstrate that Jesus Christ is the same
today as He was 2,000 years ago. This, perhaps more than anything
else, is the message I long to see displayed by the Church
in this hour. Page after page of God Encounters reveal
wonderful insights and experiences of biblical proportions.
In this book James and Michal Ann invite us to catch a rare
glimpse of the inner workings of a prophet's home. They
are among a small company of pioneers who herald this message
about our unchanging King, saying, "There is more! We
must press on for more, no matter the cost!" They have
gone far beyond any criteria that I could have set, as they
launch the reader into the ultimate quest - the quest for
the face of God.
Testimonies, whether spoken or written, bring something of
Heaven into the moment, changing the atmosphere around us
into a realm of unlimited possibility. In effect, each story
prophesies both the nature of God and His intent for every
person who will seek Him without restraint. Since God is no
respecter of persons, and is the same today as He was 2,000
years ago, all stories of divine encounters become invitations.
They are invitations - for those who have ears to hear - to
enter into a lifestyle of pursuit . . . a lifestyle of experiencing
the Divine One. God Encounters is such a book. It is
your invitation to the ultimate quest. - Bill Johnson,
Author, When
Heaven Invades Earth
