The reason why we don’t have revival is because we are willing to live without it Sinners are not our enemy but our customers Two great miracle catches: in the beginning (Luke 5) and the end (John 21) of Jesus’ ministry

Revival Forecast From Life of Samson (Judges 13-16)

Samson was anointed – Church is anointed (God wants you to be anointed) God wants you to be anointed to deliver your generation Samson was nazarite – Church is devoted God wants you to be devoted if you want to stay anointed Samson went against the gates – Gates of hell can’t prevail against the Church (Mt.16:18) Anointing will lead you to possess the gates of your enemies Anointing will not allow enemies weapons to prevail against you Samson send foxes – Church sends leaders filled with Spirit God wants you to find some foxes and let fire fill them up You can so much damage with others being filled with fire Samson killed with jar – Church wins with mouth God wants to use your mouth to destroy the enemy and win the generation Samson was rejected by Israel – Church is rejected by religious people Woe to you if everyone likes you, but you are blessed if they don’t Samson was destroyed from within – Church can’t be destroyed from without The biggest hindrance of Churches expansion is not Satan is saints Samson compromised – Church became weak Church lost anointing because it lost devotion Samson lost anointing because he broke his nazarite vow Church became like everyone else – every other religion Samson went in circles – Church goes in circles Church that is not anointed goes in circles of routine and religion Church that lost the vision will go in circles Samson’s hair started to grow – Church started to grow Church started to do what Acts Church (water baptism, spirit baptism, miracles, gifts of Spirit) Power and anointing and influence of the Church is not decreasing but increasing You may be going in circles but your hair (passion) is growing Samson was led by a child – Youth will play a role in last day revival Youth led the first revival and they will lead the last revival Our mission is deliverance for a generation and destruction for the enemy Power is for deliverance not ambition (power to set generation free not give us world wide ministry)
