One of the great truths of the Gospel is that Jesus purchased humanity with His own blood so they could walk triumphantly over the power of sin. Tragically though, there are many who never overcome habitual sin because they get stuck in a rut of apathy and hopelessness. The truth is that they […]

God has been described as “one pent-up revival.”[1] When saints live in the reviving power of God’s presence, the world takes note that there is a God, we have been with Him, and His name is Jesus. Revival is God’s self-disclosure. It speaks of a Savior who yearns to dwell in the midst of His

Jesus, after going up a mountain to pray, “appointed twelve—designating them apostles—THAT THEY MIGHT BE WITH HIM and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons” (Mk. 3:14-15; emphasis mine). The most important point of this passage is that the disciples “MIGHT BE WITH HIM.” No greater
There is a disturbing paradox that most Christians do not know exists or is not willing to address. The problem arises over our claims that we believe in the divine inspiration and infallibility of Scriptures and then question whether Jesus really meant what He said in many of His challenging statements. Either “All Scripture is

I fear the United States is hastening towards judgment. Where that line of no return is I do not know, but the nation’s rapid moral and spiritual decline is hurtling us towards that terrifying line at breakneck speed. Only divine intervention can turn us from our self-destructive course. We have forsaken the God which gave
In 1997 the Lord graciously called my wife and I into the ministry of the evangelist. We live in a motorhome and travel across the nation preaching at churches, camp meetings and conferences. No matter how busy we get there always seems to be a few holes in our schedule. Major holidays are difficult to

Like a priceless vase, we all break when dropped. Our frailty is a subject that unsettles us because it reveals just how weak and vulnerable we are. That is why we do not like feeling our neediness, much less admitting it. Whenever we begin to sense our neediness we can feel like our lives are

Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold, and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate every wrong path Ps. 119:127-128 It takes a passionate love for God and His Word to develop in us the motivating force to “hate every wrong path.” It is God’s will that we
The Life of the Early Church is a study examining what caused those early saints to see the power of the Holy Spirit poured out as described in the book of Acts. God is not a respecter of persons. If He poured out Pentecostal power 2000 years ago in ancient Israel then He can do it now if we will meet the conditions of revival that God’s Word clearly reveals. In this episode we will learn about how those early believers were devoted to God, and as a result, to each other. May God do this in our time.

Today in The Radical Truth we will tackle the subject of holiness and revival. Authentic revival is always a revival of holiness. Why? Because the God of revival who is holy, stoops down to reveal His holiness to sinful man. Through the manifest presence of God we come to know the true nature of sin and the only remedy for it—a crucified and resurrected Savior. We will examine the profound subject of what God’s holiness is and what it means to mankind.

For this last episode in our study on 2 Chronicles 7:14 we will examine what it means for God to forgive our sins and heal our land. The spiritual and eternal condition of our families, communities, nation and world depends on whether or not true believers will fulfill the conditions of this covenant promise of revival. Without revival our loved ones perish and multitudes rush blindly on to hell. We cannot be passive with such an important subject; too much is at stake.

In this week’s episode of The Radical Truth, we will continue our study on 2 Chronicles 7:14. The subject that will be addressed is God’s response when people take the path of repentance. The Lord’s wonderful declaration, “Then I will” speaks of what to expect when we grow desperate enough to humble ourselves, pray, seek His face and turn from our wicked ways. God is not slow in keeping His promises when we fulfill our part of His covenants.

During this episode of The Radical Truth we will learn about the path of repentance that is outlined in 2 Chronicles 7:14. This covenant promise of revival is as true as the God that gave it. The Lord is faithful to fulfill all of His covenant promises when we fulfill our part.

Listen to this podcast on your knees; God just might do a shaking in your life.

The work of the Holy Spirit in authentic revival will be the subject of Episode two of The Radical Truth. There will never be genuine revival without the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That is why God calls the church to be presence driven, never purpose driven. The Spirit can accomplish more in one moment then what the church could achieve in a millennium. All the church programs and church growth teachings combined cannot come close to the work of the Holy Spirit.
