Whose revival? week 28,2011

“See that crowd? That’s a powerful man of God I tell you. He never fails to pull a crowd. This even exceeds last year’s overflow. Ah, I bless God!” What for; are you excited by crowds? “Haba this is the manifestation of God’s promise of revival. Have you not read the prophecy of revival in Micah, which is repeated in Isaiah?” In the last days the mountain of the LORD'S house will be established as the highest of the mountains and raised above the hills. People will stream to it Mic 4:1(ESV). Excuse me, what is the theme of this “revival” as you put it? “Limitless prosperity...” And last year’s..? “Sweat less success; and there were many testimonies of financial breakthroughs my brother.”
Sorry. That’s not the revival promised in Isaiah or Micah. “What do you mean? Look at the prophecy yourself. It talks of many peoples flowing into the house of God, declaring let us go to the God of Jacob, and that is happening here. Check out the mix of people. ” Yes, indeed what you have is a mixed multitude, not a revival. “Don’t get offensive”. I won’t; the Micah vision was of people who come to seek God, so as to walk in his ways. Then many nations will come and say, "Let's go to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways so that we may live by them." The teachings will go out from Zion Mic 4:2(GW). “You mean this group comes for something else?” Can’t you see that their heart is on financial gain? And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say but they will not do it; for with lustful talk in their mouths they act; their heart is set on their gain Eze 33:31(ESV). How many of the testimonies are like Zacchaeus’ "Lord, I'll give half of my possessions to the poor...Lk 19:8 or the woman at the well? "Come and see a man who told me everything I've ever done! Could he possibly be the Christ?" Jn 4:29(ISV). These meetings are about man, and end with glorifying the man of God for even you are focused on the man. In the Isaiah passage you spoke of, in God’s day it shall be different. The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day Isa 2:11(ESV). So this isn’t a revival. The only resemblance I see is a crowd I’m sorry. “What do we do?” We keep praying. Since God said it, it must come to pass but we must keep striking the arrows until we have the full victory prophesied.
