Worldwide Revival in the Last Days
There are actually many scriptures that hints of a worldwide revival in the last days if you open your spirit to the teaching of the Holy Spirit. Scripture points to a latter rain, where the former rain is the Day of Pentecost in Acts. [Quoted below.]
The institutional Church has already begun to fall away at an accelerating speed as we see it today.
The worldwide revival that is coming, the latter rain, is not in the way that the institutionalised Church expected as is always in every Revivals in history that they have never failed to oppose initially and later on eventually accepted.
We need to be clear that in many of those scriptures referred to in the passage, they are referring to the world and not the Church.
The institutional Church may be in error in doctrines or organisation forms or be not Spirit-filled, they are nevertheless still the beloved sheeps of our LORD.
Many are born again Christians though not filled with the Spirit, being misled by the doctrines of men.
These are precisely the people that needs a revival back to a righteous, holy, godly life thatGod intended much more than the unsaved!
It is in revivals that the Church is being brought back to God time and time again, just like how God deals with Israel in the Old Testament.
I believe the worldwide revival is already taking place, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is in action, where true followers of Christ are stepping out of the institutionalised Church and forming up Church as the model outlined in Acts.
The latter rain being poured out is this:
The individual is baptised and filled with the Holy Spirit and power by Jesus the baptiser not men and go out to preach the Kingdom of God and God confirming the Word by signs and wonders; raise the dead, healings, works of miracles and casting out of devils.
These individuals formed come together in groups to form the Church as they are lead to, whereever they are, that is, without an institutionised building.
There is no clergy nor laity as in the institutionused Church, for each and every are the royal priesthood of the Most High of the order of Melchizedek.
These individuals will carry out the good works as Jesus did, and as the disciples did and even greater works than these.
The gospel of the Kingdom will then be preached to the world and then the end shall come.
Matthew 24:14 KJV
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
I have only identified 2 main groups of people or movement that are in the process of this worldwide latter rain but I am sure there are many others:
- Life Teams of John G. Lake ministry, lead by the Overseer Curry Blake.
- The Last Reformation lead by Torben Sondergaad.
