Welcome to Fivefold Network: Thirsty for Revival Fire? (Alive in Christ)

Spiritual revival has long been a topic that has intrigued me and I have read many dozens of books on the topic spanning several centuries of Church history. But greater than the interest to read about it has been my desire to personally experience it. God has been gracious in that I have experienced little glimpses and waves of renewal; but I have never been in a full city or nation wide revival that has extended for months or years. My faith and cry is that this will soon change. I hope you too are hungry for REVIVAL FIRE.

Let me define Spiritual Revival as I understand it and have partially experienced it. Revival by definition means to restore life or vigor, but from a Biblical understanding it is awakening to spiritual life, purpose and power of the Believer. From a historical perspective Christian's have been renewed to life by revelation of the person of Jesus Christ and His complete redemptive work at Calvary in many ways. Martin Luther received revelation that salvation came by faith alone (justification) in Jesus death on the cross; that he no longer had to work for salvation but received the gift by faith. The Word of God was valued and restored to many Christians during this time in Europe; which further fanned the flame of revival. The Moravians restored the zeal of mission to go out and win the lost to Christ. The Wesley brothers proclaimed sanctification (a holy lifestyle) was to accompany our salvation in the 1700's. The revelation of healing by Christ's atonement was boldly proclaimed and demonstrated by men like A.B. Simpson, Alexander Dowie, Andrew Murray and many others in the late 1800's and early 20th century. Then came the renewed revelation of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in the Azusa Street Revival of 1906-1909 in Los Angeles; that has touched every continent on the planet with restored gifts and power of the Holy Spirit. In the last several decades we have been seeing the Fivefold Leadership Offices revived and recognized in the Body of Christ (Pastor, Teacher, Evangelist, Prophet and most recent the Apostle) based on Eph. 4: 11-13. The gifts of the Spirit and the Fivefold Offices have functioned throughout Church history in varying degrees; but few understood there full purposes or function and sadly this is still the case for many in the body of Christ.

I believe there is a growing hunger among many Christians crossing all denominational lines and movements of God worldwide to experience all that God intended through the provision of Calvary and the fullness of the Holy Spirit in our lives. I recently had the privilege to drive down to California with my wife and some good friends to attend Bethel Church in Redding California; Pastored by Bill & Beni Johnson. I had just read his book called "When Heaven Invades Earth, A Practical Guide to a Life of Miracles" which greatly encouraged my faith and my hunger for revival. Truthfully the four of us did not know what to expect when we got there for the Sunday morning service. What first caught our attention was a separate small building dedicated to prayer and open 24/7 year round. My wife who is very low key commented afterwards that she could tangibly feel the presence of God when she entered the building. No programs there, only an open door policy to come and pray and seek God. (First impression) The worship service was wonderful and somehow I could sense a faith level in that Body that I had not experienced before. (Second impression) As Bill Johnson shared the message that morning; I could understand why there was such a faith level in that Church.....they expect miracles, healing, deliverance from sin and Satan's deception. The Body has been taught and equip to do the works of God in the marketplace, in malls, on the streets and in sports events. I caught a true picture of Revival, the church Alive in Christ, pure and giving out all that they had received from the Holy Spirit to the lost in the community. (Lasting Impression)

If you are thirsty and know you need to be revived than I strongly recommend you read the book:

Welcome to Fivefold Network: Marriages That Work (Relationally Growing)

You made the decision, "I will love this person the rest of my life"; and then you commit to this relationship through the act of a wedding. This is an awesome decision; but sadly I see so many marriages falling apart and ending in divorce. This statement is not intended to hurt someone or done in judgment; but it is an honest evaluation of what I see far too often around me. Today we want to look at a several keys that will help us ensure our marriage goes the distance joyfully; and understand principles to "Marriages That Work".

The most important decision you will ever make in you life is whether you will Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and strength (become "Alive in Christ", John 3:3, John 3:16 and John 14:6 of the New Testament tells us how to do this). Once we are in right relationship with God and have peace inside of ourselves; the second greatest decision you will make is whether you choose to become married or stay single. Both are great choices, but today we are going to focus on "Marriages That Work".

Key # One: The decision of marriage is to be taken very seriously, because we are entering into a "Covenant" with the other person and with God. God has intended from the beginning that a man and women become one flesh (physically united and committed to that one person sexually for life). The covenant is far more than a physical union, it is a becoming one in spirit and purpose (this is a process over your lifetime together); yet we are uniquely gifted individually to complement each other. The success of a marriage is dependant on us understanding the depth of our commitment to our spouse and to God as the Father of our home.

Key # Two: Remember the reason why you decided to marry the other person in the first place; they were perfect, NO....you fell in love because you saw some very special characteristics in that person that drew you to them. Yes we are usually attracted by the other person looks, but deeper than that was their kindness, gentleness, compassion, strength, passion for life, their laugher, their dreams, their interests and that sense this is the one for me. Your life partner is a gift from God to you, and we need to constantly remember this and treat our princess or prince with honor, high value and unwavering love.

Key # Three: All marriages will face challenges and trials over the course of our lives. We live in a turbulent world where at times we are confronted with changes outside of our control (Hurricane Katrina & Rita are recent examples of how marriages (families) can face immediate change and extreme hardship) ** As a note please pray for these precious people in the Southern States and help financially to the best of your ability through a recognized relief agency ** Change is a fact of life, but it is how we handle these challenges that will strengthen our marriage or destroy it. There is a saying "Those who pray together, stay together". Whether change comes from outside forces or we make poor decisions that create our own dilemmas; God is never far away. Commit all your ways to God, actively seek His guidance as a couple and you will see His good hand bring direction and provision.

Key # Four: One of the most powerful principles of a strong marriage is: That you NEVER make any major decisions without being united and at peace before you move forward as a couple. Examples would be: having children, career decisions, purchasing major ticket items like houses, cars, a boat, vacation properties, starting a business, relocating to another city or moving, or finding a Church home, etc. This is critical and can prevent serious problems in a marriage; remember one of the foundational stones of a healthy covenant relationship is "ONENESS". Sometimes one partner will have a check inside, a feeling something is not right about this decision, heed this and do not make a commitment to move forward until you are both at peace. This can save you huge losses; and prevent a marriage crisis. This is often God's Spirit directing you as a couple.

Key # Five: Guess what we both have flaws, so don't make a big deal about it. Life is to short to nit-pick, and tear apart your spouse because they forgot to throw their dirty socks in the laundry hamper. For everything that bugs you about your spouse, you have an equal amount of deficiencies that can be rendered on your own record! (Chill-out perfectionists, this really doesn't happen until HEAVEN) Marriage is not about "being perfect", but two imperfect people choosing to love each other and daily extend grace to each others weakness'. Now this is not an excuse to be lazy or inconsiderate to your partner. Life is about growing and maturing for the benefit of others, so that we can be a blessing and a encourager.

Key # Six: Have fun together, dream together, and develop a life purpose together. When you first meet there were things you enjoyed doing together; walks, diners, sports, theater, whatever it is, keep doing them throughout your entire marriage. HAVE FUN TOGETHER. What do you want to accomplish together? What do you want to acquire together? Dream BIG, with God's blessing and direction all things are possible. We come into the world as individuals with gifts and talents that make us uniquely who we are; but now you are a TEAM and what are you going to DO together to make a difference in this world and leave a legacy?

Key # Seven: Marriages that work; work on their marriage to keep them growing, fun and loving.

Your life partner is a gift to YOU; so treat him or her as such and you will receive the rewards of a blessed and fulfilling relationship. When the time comes for us to stand before our Heavenly Father in eternity, we want to hear the words, "well done good and faithful servant" in regards to our marriage.

We have been blessed through the years by Gary Smalley's excellent teaching on marriage; we highly recommend his book:
