Recently a pastor friend and his wife had a baby. They went to the hospital and the nurse declared that she was 8 cm dilated and the baby was going to come right away. She left to call the doctor. Minutes later, she said that there had been a mistake. She was only 4 cm dilated and the doctor had plenty of time. The pastor’s wife said to get that nurse back in the room. THE BABY WAS COMING! The nurse arrived and delivered the baby.

God said; “Twelve years ago you all said, “Revival is coming." "Oh no, we made a mistake. We have plenty of time.” I say to you, the revival is coming now! It will not be the "doctors" who deliver it. It will be, the individual believers who are prepared and watching.

I asked God what I should say when people ask, “Where is the revival that you are announcing?” God said to tell them two things. First, "The revival is in my heart. It is here now! It is a fire that is burning!" Second He said to tell them that, "I see a cloud the size of a man’s hand on the horizon and I hear the sound of rain!"

SECOND: After the revival, things will begin to get bad. Many will fall away. Then Jesus will come! I PERSONALLY WILL SEE THE SECOND COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS! His coming is at hand!!

THIRD: When He comes, He will be a two faced Lord. One face is really angry. He is tired of being ignored and dishonored! The second face is the face of the excited Bridegroom who is expectantly returning for His bride! We get to choose which face we will see.

FOURTH: The focus is off. Everyone is looking for revival. They want what revival does. They want revival to do it to them.

The focus needs to be a personal, intimate love relationship with the Bridegroom. The Song of Solomon is the model. Revivals come and go. People come and go with the revival. We need to be falling in love with Jesus, NOT SEEKING REVIVAL! We have made everything about us. Our prayers, our worship, our church programs, even our evangelism is to save people from Hell. It is not about us. It is about Him! It has always been about Him. We are saved to love Him. Our worship is not to be about Him, it is to be TO HIM!

FIFTH: God says that we have a faulty marriage covenant with Him. Ezekiel 16:8 RSV says, “I plighted my troth to you.” This is the traditional marriage covenant. God says that in these days that the covenant has been altered to suit the bride. We have eliminated “to love, honor, cherish and obey; forsaking all others” because it does not suit our willful, rebellious nature. We have eliminated “for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health” because it does not fit our Faith Theology.

In short, we have corrupted our marriage vows with the Lord and have walked away from Him becoming a willful, rebellious, lustful bride who is not married! He is calling all of us who call ourselves Christian to renew our marriage covenant and make it right!

That is it! Get ready! Hold on! Keep vigilant! Get it right with Him right now!
