The Radical Truth

If believers really want revival then they must be careful that the message of the cross is central to the preaching and life of the church. A simple examination of church history will reveal that whenever revival was poured out that Jesus and the cross was the consuming subject. Remove the message of the cross and you have something other than authentic revival. In this podcast you will learn the importance of the preaching of the cross in revival and get a fresh glimpse of the Precious Savior who was crucified for us.

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. There is a reason we are not seeing revival and at the root of the problem is our refusal to take the path of repentance. Listen to this podcast on your knees; God just might do a shaking in your life.

In part two of the study on 2 Chronicles 7:14 we will explore what Scripture means by the God’s call that we pray and seek His face. These two issues are of paramount importance for all who truly yearn for revival. Until we meet the conditions of revival we will never have authentic revival.

This episode of The Radical Truth will begin a series of lessons that will examine God’s covenant promise of revival as outlined in 2 Chronicles 7:14. We will study the emphasis God places on humility in the bringing of revival. Then we will turn to the question of whether revival is God’s work or man’s.

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.

In this first podcast of The Radical Truth you will meet the host, Glenn Meldrum. Glenn will share a brief testimony of his life and then begin sharing the passion of his life—revival. In this episode the necessity of revival will be presented along with an extensive definition of revival that includes what genuine revival is and what it is not.
