Are You Ready?

 

Text: Ecclesiastes 3.1, 1 Chronicles 12.32, 1 Thessalonians 5.1-2-4

The more we talk about what Jesus is doing, the greater the manifestation.

We should have a knowing of the times and seasons; we should not be caught off guard.

Moves of God Through History
-1926 through baseball player Billy Sunday in Cape Girardeau; built an auditorium on the corner of Bellevue and Middle Street that would hold 5,000 people; 250,000 people costed within 5 weeks; that wood is now part of Houck Stadium Field House: also went to Paducah where 100,00 people came to Jesus.
-1906 Azusa Street, the Second Blessing; marked by interracial crowds from around the world; daily meetings for three years; spurred the Assembly of God and Apostolic movements
-Great Healing movement; Oral Robert’s, A.A. Allen, Jack Cole; ambulances would bring people for healing off of their stretchers
-Latter Rain movement; gifts of the spirit, women in ministry, Joel 2.28 prophecies
-Billy Graham, college movements
-TV evangelism
-The Jesus Movement/Charismatic Movement; turning from drugs and radical politics, taking the Bible at face value -Introduction of scripture songs and moving away from hymns; dancing
-Full Gospel Businessmen
-Discipleship/Shepherding Movement; family life, church growth, mega churches
-Faith and Prosperity Movements; send and harvest time, positive living, speak the word
-Prophecy Movements; prophetic ministry and worship, personal prophecy
-Pensacola revivals; 4 million people over 5 years
-Promise Keeper; 5 million men over 100 conferences
-Kingdom Theology Movement; kingdom dominions instead of escaping from here

10 Marks of Great Revivals
-timing during spiritual and moral decay
-great times of prayer
-word preached without compromise
-great emphasis on the leading of the Holy Spirit
-great conviction
-glory to God only
-reformation and renewal
-manifestations of the power of God
-brings controversy
-has a cycle

We are in a movement that is a culmination of all the movements God has already released into the earth for us to use.

What happens here won’t look like anywhere else.

This is a no-name movement; there is an emphasis on the body of God.
