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.
