What is revival? Who’s revival for? Where do revivals begin?
Revival first begins in the heart of a preacher. A revived heart burns, lives, and testifies to the power of God through Christ. Revival is a work of the Holy Spirit in the human soul that helps man to realize who Christ is. Revival is for both sinner and saint alike. By stirring the inner man through preaching, revival helps any man to recognize and obey the presence of an invisible God. A revived heart enables Christ to remove the cloak of secret sin. Revival is an awakening… refreshing…or move of the Holy Ghost that stirs man to have a better consciousness of Christ. Revival is the Spirit’s work that convicts the world of sin and turns men from unrighteousness. Revival offers a better standard of life through the personality of Christ. Revival enlightens the heart of man to the revelation of Christ and His Spiritual body, the Church. Revival fortifies the faith of man through evidence given from the Holy Scriptures. Revival is a living and active move of the Spirit of God… within the human soul. Revival brings honor to Christ through Gospel preaching and the work of the ministry. A revivalist tells the lost world about Christ. Revival brings accountability to those who accept Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Revival shows man who he is in the presence of Christ. Revival ministers to human needs. Revival brings glory to a living Christ in the Throne Room. Revival roots and builds up members of the Body. Revival regenerates, sanctifies, and renews the human soul.
Whether in the local church, a jailhouse, or on the campus’s across this nation, “Revival in 2009 is a living active power of the Holy Spirit that manifests through preaching the true Gospel message. Revival touches souls of men and women for Christ and fortifies souls that are already saved”. A true Revival is the will of God commanded by Christ to be preached in all the world. Revival can spread like wildfire.

The Genesis of Healing...(audio) Hubert T. Lindsey
This audio is the first of a six tape series... on the subject of Divine Healing. The Genesis of healing teaches and emphasizes the power of how Christ "restores" man with holiness, happiness and health like Adam had before the Fall. After the Fall...Restoration from God was given in the days of Adam, Abel, Noah, and Abraham. The Operation of God is the theme of Genesis. Restoration is the result of God's Divine favor upon man.
Three common prophesies about Christ in Genesis are...Christ, the seed of a woman...Gen. 3:15, Christ, the seed of Abraham who would bless all the families on Earth in Gen. 12: 8, and Christ the peacemaker...Gen. 49:10.

God is using this Blog to magnify Christ...
In just two short months the Lord has used this Blog for Christ...in so many ways...to reach so many people...and by giving so much detail about Biblical Truth that's needed this day and hour. Brother Lindsey paved the way of perseverance and consistancy in his ministry for the cause of Christ. He left us an example of ministry... by his personal life; his personal testimonies; and his life teachings on preserved audio. He left us so much teaching that it may take a lifetime to publicize it (or just a portion of it) on the Internet...but its all good because his ministry still lives and spreads as he desired from his heart until he died. His Bible Truth still ministers in the Spirit today April 30, 2009. God has used this Blog to open doors to Brother Lindsey's lifetime of teaching and Theology...and example.
In just two short months in this fast paced society of immorality that's rampant, false Biblical teachings and concepts by the hundreds maybe thousands, in a world that says everything is ok in the eyes of God...the light of the Gospel still shines through...in many dark places. The Truth is revealed in remote places to confound the wise and to raise up the base things in life. those are the one's this message reaches.
In just two short months I've publicized Brother Lindsey's teachings that touch on Eternal Security, Original Sin and Fallen man, Entire Sanctification, Water Baptism, Hell's Fire, Eternal Damnation and Divine Judgment, Holiness of heart and life, and just so much material that's benificial to the anyone's growth in the knowledge in the Lord Jesus Christ. Some of these subjects may seem complex to you, others you may not understand, and some you may welcome with open heart and mind. It is my desire to continue pumping this material out there because Brother Lindsey also wanted it...and so does Christ.
There is much more to come! Many subjects to teach and clairify. I'm being led in the direction of Divine Healing as of today. I will most likely wrap up the subject of Water Baptism for a while and move on to other subjects that are needed in all of our lives. Brother Lindsey has an excellent 6 volume set of healing audios that I may post soon.
This writer treasures all of Brother Lindsey's teaching material as it has fortified my own knowledge and personal witness for the Lord Jesus Christ. I know this material will fortify others also. Brother Lindsey's teachings showed this writer how to rightly Divide the Holy Scriptures and build upon a foundation in the person of Christ. So much work! So much blessing!
May the Lord Bless your personal endeavors in the ministry... as we all grow together in the Grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:17-18...beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Why the doctrine of “Entire Sanctification” was deviated from...and the doctrine of Water Baptism was accepted
The following will coincide with Brother Lindsey's teaching on Water Baptism and Entire Sanctification.
In order to understand why the doctrine of Entire Sanctification was deviated from after the early Church, the subject of “Baptism” must be touched on to clarify. Baptism relates to the Sanctifying work of the Spirit, but - Sanctification through the Spirit has no reference to Water Baptism; or the use of water ministered by a preacher. Sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit in the human soul.
The work of the Holy Spirit relates to conviction in a sinner, repentance of a sinful man, the new birth in regeneration. Entire Sanctification relates to crucifixion of self and the final work of the Holy Spirit in the soul of a believer. Two Baptisms are pertinent to New Testament doctrine and both baptisms refer to the work of the Holy Spirit in the human soul.
· Baptism of the penitent is where the Holy Spirit places a believer into the body of Christ at salvation through trust alone in the death of Christ for the forgiveness of sins
· Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire cleanses a believer from the conflicting Adamic life that often tries to arise during the believer’s life in Christ. The conflict is where a saved man has an inner struggle from the old man that wars against the work of the Holy Spirit in that life. The Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire is the purifying work that takes place that rids the believer from the war within his members. This final work of the Holy Spirit in the heart of a believer is termed as “Entire Sanctification”.
Neither Baptism mentioned above pertains to the mode of water Baptism.
· Sanctification is a work of the Holy Spirit that removes the Adamic life from the believing soul.
· Water Baptism is a religious act of man that has no reference to Biblical Sanctification, the work of the Holy Spirit: or salvation to the human soul.
After the Early Church the mode of Baptism (performed by preachers) became an issue of importance as the truth of Sanctification (performed by the Holy Spirit) in the human soul, dwindled. Man formed doctrines, and deviated from the truth of salvation. Various modes of Water Baptism became prevalent in the religious world and thus became appealing to the religious affections of man.
· Obviously man’s “own” wisdom deviated from the wisdom of God experienced by the writers of the New Testament Epistles (James, John, Peter, and Paul) after the resurrection of Christ.
Since the First Century Church, doctrines, denominations, and numerous modes of Water Baptism have been made by man to an uncountable degree. The truth of the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in the human soul has been tossed aside, as religious emphasis has been placed on the mode of Water Baptism. A few examples and various religious modes of Baptism are…Sprinkling, pouring, full body immersion, cleansing from Original sin, confession of faith, burying the Old man, an act of obedience, or following Christ’s example.
Let's examine John’s baptism a baptism performed by a preacher however; in Johns Baptism one must know the history of Jewish religion and ceremonial purification ministered by a Levite upon the nation of Israel. To simplify, “John’s baptism “under Law” purified the body of those with faith unto righteousness and allowed Israel to approach and accept Christ as the promised Messiah”. Repentance from a deviation from the Law of Moses and Faith in Christ as the promised Messiah allowed Israel to repent, thus obey the Law and have their sins remitted by God. John’s Baptism showed Israel’s obedience to the Law of Moses and acceptance of Christ as the Messiah.
John's baptism attracted enough attention in its time to have been recorded by Jewish historian Josephus 50 years later in his "Jewish Antiquities":
"Now some of the Jews thought that the destruction of Herod’s army came from God, and that very justly, as a punishment of what he did against John, that was called the Baptist: for Herod slew him, who was a good man, and commanded the Jews to exercise virtue, both as to righteousness towards one another, and piety towards God, and so to come to baptism; for that the washing [with water] would be acceptable to him, if they made use of it, not in order to the putting away [or the remission] of some sins [only], but for the purification of the body; supposing still that the soul was thoroughly purified beforehand by righteousness..." (Josephus, "Jewish Antiquities", Book 18, Chapter 5)

Revived...Churches on Trial (audio)...7/5/87 (pt.1) on the subject of "Water Baptism"
This show (in it's first hour) was primarily focused the controversial subject of Water Baptism. Many people in the Detroit area called in with various questions as Brother Lindsey expounded from the Bible and the Greek text. Much Biblical clairification is brought forth from the Jewish perspective.
When the Bible is viewed and understood from a Jewish perspective much of the controversy concerning Water Baptism and its various modes taught in the mainstream today are clairified. Brother Lindsey makes effort to clairify and take away confusion. Hubert Lindsey relates the mode of Water Baptism to ceremonial purification as taught according to the Law of Moses.
Other subjects on this audio brought forth clairity on the subject of the Divine Trinity...or God in three persons. Much Biblical evidence from the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms is given . This writer personally attempts to post Scriptural content on the video portion of these audios for the edification of those who desire to know more about God's Word.

Four things Christ "destroys" according to the truth of the Bible
The power of Christ is given to the heart and life of a believer...because of truth contained in God's Prophecies. Here's an example of the power of Christ prophetically uttered by David in the Psalms... Ps 110:1...The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. David declared both God the Father and Christ to be... Lord. Within that same prophecy David foretold that Christ would make His enemies His footstool.
The following verses declare how enemies to God are made the footstool of Christ by the power of a Living Saviour. According to the Truth of the New Testament records the power of a living Christ (revealed in prophecies of Old) destroy the following...
The body of sin: Rom 6:6...Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
The power of death: Heb 2:14-15... he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
The works of the Devil: 1 John 3:8...He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
The AntiChrist: 2 Thess 2:8-9...whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
The following verses declare how enemies to God are made the footstool of Christ by the power of a Living Saviour. According to the Truth of the New Testament records the power of a living Christ (revealed in prophecies of Old) destroy the following...
