Let's get this straight: revival and awakening have been defined and pictured and spun in so many different ways, but let's hear what the Spirit says about this. I have always pictured revival as many people gathering in a building, but just go to any mega-church, and you will see that on a weekly basis. And if you can see in the Spirit, many of those places are full of dead man's bones. See, we need to know what revival is because when it happens, it's not going to be what we think. I believe there will be a mass outpouring all over the world at one time, and this, I believe, will be the final awakening and mass outpouring before the return of the Lord. Great Revival. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God. They are waiting for revival to come out of us. They are not waiting for sons and daughters, but the manifestation. Jesus was walking revival, and now we have the same Spirit!
Thousands and thousands of years in the beginning of time, not just Adam, but actually man died in the garden. Through one man's disobedience, all men died (Romans 5:12). We know that Adam didn't die physically, but it still said that he died. Adam's spirit became disconnected from the breath of God, the Holy Spirit. This is spiritual death. See, real death is actually to burn in hell forever. This is something no one can be revived from. Yet there is a death that we can be revived from, and that is the death of man in the garden of Eden. Adam's death meant that his spirit was separated from life. The absence of life is death, yet he was still walking. He became a dead man walking. Now you and I, coming from Adam, were born dead, meaning we were born separated from God. The world, being dead in sin, is born into death. Yet we who have been born again, meaning born back into where we were disconnected from God in the beginning, and connected back to life, are called to return humanity back to that first place that God lost them. We were lost because humanity was God's through Adam. Man was meant to multiply, and we're called to be born connected to God. Though now, through Jesus, we can be born again, back into where we were once ordained. Now being revived from our death.
We have this story in Matthew 9. A maiden girl who died, her master requested of Jesus to come to her. Then Jesus, seeing her, said, "She's not dead, she's sleeping." The thing we don't understand is that when people die, they are actually sleeping until the Day of Judgment. To them, it's the blink of an eye, but to us, they sleep because we are still in time. See, Jesus knew this girl wasn't dead and that her spirit was alive. We also see in Acts 9 that Peter dealt with a dead girl, and after he prayed, he spoke her name and said, "Tabitha, arise." When Peter spoke, he did not speak to her flesh; he spoke to her spirit. Your spirit and soul never die; it's the body. So, it's your spirit that sleeps. Now we know we have dead men walking all over the earth, somewhere less than 8 billion. See, but I tell you a mystery, that they are not dead, but they are sleeping! They are asleep to the Truth. They are asleep to Jesus and the cross. Separated from life through the death of Adam. When Adam died, men slept, meaning they became naturally unaware of God, unaware that they are dead! And we are called to awaken men from their slumber and cause their spirit to be alive unto God. We are called to call men's spirits back to life and into what is invisible but alive that they are unaware of. We are called to revive men from the dead, because the bloodline of men were once alive unto God, but now we are spiritually reviving them back to what they had become dead to. What is revival? It's to bring back to life something that died. What died? The connection man had with God in the garden. The breath of God that men had inside of them. And now we are called to revive that connection in men back to God by the same Spirit that entered and exited man, but that now raised Christ from the dead and entered back into us!
See, now we are revivalists! Because we have the same power that raised Christ from the dead. Now, where men have died, we have resurrection power to raise them back to life, the life that man had in the garden, which is now and always was the Spirit of God. When Adam died, we all died, but now when Jesus rose, we who believe also rise (1 Corinthians 15:22). Now we are called to throw men upon the body of Jesus, just as they did with Elisha. When Elisha died, they tossed a dead man upon his bones, and he was revived (2 Kings 13:20-22)! Now we're called to throw men unto the body of Jesus by the preaching of the Gospel that they may be saved! Now we, being dead to our old man, shall raise the dead through our death as we proclaim His death as victory! Now with Jesus on the cross, we die to death forever and live until eternal life. This is a spiritual awakening, but an awakening to a reality that the world will never know is real until you tell them. We are called to awaken the sleepers. You say they are dead, but God says they are sleeping! See, we are called to be voices of awakening, to awaken all those who sleep to the knowledge of Truth, which is reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ. This is Awakening! What everyone is looking for is great awakening where mass amounts of people are being saved, but make no mistake, when someone gets born again and their eyes open to the Truth, this is awakening, this is revival. Now that awakening and revival have come upon us, the Spirit of Revival is now in us. It's this resurrection power, the ministry of reconciliation, which is the Spirit of Elijah, to restore the sons back to the Father and the Father back to the sons. Now, through Jesus, to restore all of creation back to the Creator and the Creator back to His creation through the mediator.
We see in Luke 8 that it goes more extensively into the same story as Matthew 9, and Jesus says, "Maid arise," and it says her spirit came again, meaning her spirit came back to her body. It didn't say all of a sudden her body was healed; no, it said her spirit came back to her body. See, God wants the Spirit, His Spirit now to come back to us, humanity, where it exited and caused men to be dead. Now alive again through the reentering of His Spirit through the body of Jesus Christ. Yet not only His Spirit returning to our body, but our spirit returning to His body! Eve was taken out of Adam, and we, being Jesus' bride, are being put back into Jesus. Just as they stabbed Jesus in the side, and many say in the ribs, but He did not break a bone (John 19:36). Adam's bone was broken to make Eve, but Jesus' bone was preserved because the rib that was taken from Adam was put back into Jesus. Eve's seed, which is us now, "God's Eve," which are those who have been taken out of humanity and put back into divinity, the bride of Christ! Our spirits have entered back into His body just as the maid's spirit returned to her body. See, just as God put Adam to sleep, and Eve was taken out, so it is when Jesus died, God put Him to sleep, and a new Eve was put back into Him. See, we were separated from Jesus in the garden, but now we have been made one again.
We need to prophesy to these dry bones in the valley of death. Those who are dead will be made alive by the voices of awakening. Now the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy because when we are speaking about Jesus, the Gospel, we are actually prophesying and calling the Spirit back to men, and those who are dead back to life. We are calling divinity back upon humanity. When people become born again, they become alive again. See, death is to be absent from life forever, but this death that men have is only sleep because they can be awakened from it. They can be awakened back to God from when they slept with Adam, returning back to the garden. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is revival happening in real time to a man. It's awakening happening to man. Now we're all being prepared to release this revival, this awakening, because we have the Holy Spirit, and now are called to release Him on greater scales as we enter the harvest field with greater measures of harvesting to come! See, revival is in us. Now God is going to bring the fish to the boat in due time in greater measures. We need to be ready to release revival, be ready to awaken. Revival is when God brings the multitudes, when He draws all men unto Himself. Just as the disciples were fishing through the night, but when Jesus said throw the net, all the fish were drawn to it!
We need to be ready to prophesy over thousands and millions of people, the testimony of Jesus! Because when they come, God is entrusting those He has prepared to reap them for Him! Then we have in Luke 8, Jesus says to get meat prepared for this maid girl. We are reviving people so they can come and sit at the table! Back to the tree of life, the table Adam sat at! The parable of the banquet to compel them to come in. We are now the table with a feast made available for those who are hungry. We are trees of life, with fruit to be eaten from. The meat is being laid upon us to feed them! Then we have Jesus who sat at the last supper and broke the bread, which was His body, which was symbolic of the bread He was about to break for us at the cross. See, the last supper has never ended. Now we eat that same bread the disciples eat, the bread of His body, and now being made His body, we become the bread. Now He says about us, this is my body, eat, as we share this bread that was broken for us. You talk about feeding the 5000 or feeding the 4000. Oh no, there is a supper that has never ceased, and it is this body that was broken for us, and now we, being His disciples, have been given a basket full of bread, His body, and Jesus has broken it among us and given it unto us to hand out His body as we preach His sacrifice. Except Jesus is feeding this multitude with one bread now! And this bread is not going to just feed thousands, this bread is feeding millions! The headline now is, "Jesus feeds millions." Jesus "feeds the 5000"? No, now there is a greater miracle being done. One bread feeding millions of people since 2000 years and counting. And we are dispersing this bread that keeps multiplying among the crowds, and as we continue to preach it, release it, and sow it, God continues to fill the basket with fresh bread. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of His mouth (Matthew 4:4). His word is continuing to proceed. Everything that comes out of God's mouth is fresh bread, and now His mouth is the oven!
And now we, as a fish in the basket, as a soul, give our lives that we can multiply souls. Now when we give our life to Jesus and the great commission, we multiply lives! Jesus will use one fish in your basket, and multiply it into hundreds and thousands. He is the bread, and we are the fish, wow! One bread and one fish! This is what revival is going to be in the last day. The multiplication of souls on the earth. That every time we give our lives, we will see the fish multiply in the basket. We will see the multiplication of souls being saved. See, now we must multiply. When we give our lives, we multiply lives. Souls for souls! Every day, the continual giving of our lives is multiplying as seed to reproduce the same salvation. Now it's our job to stay awake to be ready, for today is the day of salvation. Someone is going to be saved today. Are we going to be ready to reap them? Revival is all about being ready to reap the harvest, ready to release the Kingdom. Jesus walked in non-stop revival. The Apostles walked in non-stop revival. Now we are called and being raised up to do the same because the same power that revives the dead and awakens the sleepers is in us. And there is a sleeping beauty, a sleeping giant called the bride of Christ. And we need to awaken her from her slumber! It's those who have no oil (Matthew 24). Those who have oil and sleep are those who wait, but those who have no oil and sleep are dead. We need to reproduce this oil to keep ourselves ready for the coming of the day of the Lord, but I have news for you. Every day is the day of the Lord, and He is coming to meet us daily. We need to be awake to meet with Him, this day our daily bread!
Those who have no oil won't be able to see Him or hear Him, but those who reproduce will continue to hear and see. These are those who are awake. The Holy Spirit is the oil, the spirit of the Father and the spirit of the Groom. The oil is how we stay awake; the oil is how men awaken. The oil is how we meet Him. Those who have no oil can't make bread. We are the wheat, and He is the oil. Wheat becomes flour, and flour and oil make bread. Now, as we partner with the Oil, the Holy Spirit, we become the bread that comes down from heaven! The oracles of God! We are the provision of the nations. You want provision, no, you are the provision! You are someone's last meal, someone's last supper before they go to meet the Lord! Now your mouth is an oven. You live by every word that comes from His mouth, and the nations shall live by every word that comes from your mouth!
