If you lined up 1,000 people from a thousand cities (or some from country areas), and God asked them, “Who wants revival?” They may all say they want revival. And the truth is, God is ready when we are ready. If we were one that said, “Yes,” then God might say to us, Do you really want it? Are you willing to seek for Me and My move in your midst with all your heart? What are your motives? Are they pure? Do you really want Me or glory for yourself? I will test each heart, says the Lord, to see what you really want, and I will burn up false motives and will prepare you to meet with Me. Some who say “Yes” may be willing to seek for a little while but then they give up. In the past, I the Lord, sought for one in a thousand to stand in the gap but found none. But now I am calling out with a clarion call and I know many will be ready to answer, “Yes,” because I am making my true Church ready for Me.

So, the Lord is willing to have a thousand revivals in a thousand different places with small or large gatherings, but our hearts must be made ready. Just like on Pentecost in the book of Acts the people said, What shall we do? This is what I would counsel hungry hearts to do. First, if you are hearing God’s call to this revival then you know that He has been preparing you and teaching you for some time now, how do we move ahead, what is the Lord showing us not to do, He is burning up “old” ways, uprooting things He never planted or are not in His plans now, planting His ancient” ways again restoring His true Church (His Bride is being perfected). He is establishing good truths in us to make us ready for step two. (Some of what the Lord has used to prepare me I have written in the book “Desiring One Thing.”)

Now, if people are on the “same page” together in a particular location (your city, my city, or your area of the country), they will need to pray. Ask the Lord for His revival (His coming to you) and do not stop asking till He comes. Knock on the Lord’s door and keep on knocking till He answers the door and His presence (and face) are before you. Seek the Lord (seek Him) and keep on seeking till He manifests Himself to you and you find Him. It may take weeks, it may take months, it may take a year or more (though the time may be shortened for the Lord’s timing and purposes in a particular location). The point is, you are never to give up (you must persist) till He progressively comes to you and reveals Himself more and more. Sometimes what He shows you (or the glimpses of Him) will be small. But you will know they are gold, they are His pure Light, and they are His fire. Thank Him for every small thing He sends. If one week there is nothing, keep pressing in. If in another week, there is only one small thing that happens (from Him), thank Him, and keep pressing in. I guarantee you by the Word of God and by His promises that He will meet you, that He is knocking and He will come in and sup with you and you with Him. You should be seeking Him in your private prayers and also with a few others corporately (if there are others who want what you want). I guarantee you that if you sincerely draw near to Him He will draw near to you. If you make baby steps toward Him, your hearts will get purified by the fire of His presence, He will be running toward you as the father ran to His broken (prodigal) son.

At times it will be a hard road seeking Him when others may mock you and say, “Where is He?” But we at Prophetic Ministry have tasted of this kind of revival in Louisiana, Georgia, Missouri and Iowa.

Now, we are embarking on a new seeking of the Lord here in Des Moines, Iowa. We are preparing a place for Him to come and we will keep you informed as to how it goes in the next weeks and months. Are you seeking Him where you are? If so, let us know how it is going? How the road has been for you? Maybe your story could be passed on to others to encourage them in their seeking of the Lord and His revival?

Revival has already begun in many places. It begins in our hearts, as they are being purified, the old being burned up that God has no need of, and what is His precious gold remains, this is pure and holy. Revival is Him coming to us and giving us fresh bread every day, never day old, new every morning. We don’t want our works but only His works. We’re sick and tired of fleshly efforts and only long for Spirit guidance. Let us know some of your journey. We love you in the Lord. What a great revival is now unfolding!
