A Spiritual Revival in the Making: A look into 2017

I made the following statements about a year ago regarding the year 2016. I mentioned in my article, Year 2016, that it would be a ‘transitional year’ for the Body of Christ. (You can find the details to this article in my blog, wwjwmtd.com.) I stated:

v 2016 will be a “transitional year” for the Body of Christ—do not expect things to continue as they once were.

v It is time to drop labeling within God’s Church. Try to avoid terms or identification wording that divides the Body of Christ.

v The ‘Media’ will not give us the complete picture or proper reasoning to making wise decisions. Do not depend on media sources to give you all the facts or means to make good decisions.

v The dependence on the Holy Spirit is critical this year. Allow Him to comfort you, to guide you, to strengthen you, and bring the peace and presence of Christ to you each and every day.

v Sin will become even more attractive this next year. If there is one thing I feel God is telling me is to be an overcomer in all things.

v Strive to be ‘all in’! There will be even more and more Christians this next year that will not want to be a Christian anymore.

v The Transitional Year of 2016 is for the preparation of the coming years of the working of the Holy Spirit. We need to get ready. What God wants to do and is preparing us to do in His Presence (the Holy Spirit), which will be nothing short of miraculous.

v And finally regarding the election process for President. I stated that if you allow votes to decide the November election outcomes by not praying that God choose the next cycle of political leaders then you will lose so many freedoms; you will become dishearten and be unable to know what to do next. This election is a spiritual battle between the Church and Satan.

These predictions have or are presently taking place. However, it is next year, 2017, which is now my focus.

I was busy yesterday working with my horses when ‘out of the blue’ the Holy Spirit said, “It is now time for revival.” I was taken back to say the least and became very excited. I have always loved studying about revivals in church history, and I can tell you stories about revivals in my lifetime that I had a part in or experienced as a young boy.

I do not know if you have ever been part of a deep and significant revival. It is nothing like anything else you experience in Christ. God’s revivals are instantaneous, overwhelming, all consuming, and full of the unexpected. I have experienced two major revivals and two smaller, less significant revivals. All were within America and all greatly impacted my life. After they ended I cried and asked God why they had to end. I wanted these spiritual movements to continue and why not? They brought life to me along with purpose and meaning. They were a bit of heaven on earth! They had a ‘wow-factor’ that only God can produce, which you could never imagine.

I believe next year can be a ‘year of revival’ for many who ‘believe and desire’; no, not just a renewal or an awakening but a true revival…a revival like the Jesus Movement of the 60’s and 70’s or Azusa Street in 1906-10 or the Charismatic Movement of the late 1050’s and early 1960’s.

I want you to be faithful to what God is presently saying and/or asking of us. We must be faithful in order to be ready and part of any great revival. I am so excited! Yes, I am ready for another revival! I am ready for the Holy Spirit leading the charge! I am ready for God to surprise me! I am ready for Jesus…are you?
