Revival – The Great Awakening Preached by Pastor Taffi Dollar at 10am on 18th August, 2009
Start Thank God for... the man and woman of God in this house... Pastor... Ramson and Linda Mumba... can you give them a big hand... this morning, for putting together... this meeting... amen... Creflo and I are so proud, of their accomplishments, and all that they are doing, they just make us proud... to be their spiritual parents, and so... thank you again... for... hosting this... I know it will be, all that God intended for it to be... amen, well this morning... our son is here... our youngest son Jeremy, can you give him a big hand... he’s just... travelling... travelling with mum and dad, and... doing it for a... long time, and so, you know, he didn’t have to do it... and thank God that he loves us enough to do it, I’m glad that he’s here...
This morning I wanna share some things with you that I... pray and trust, will be a blessing to your life... over the last... I would say, several months I’ve been... Creflo and I both have just been seeking God... and hungering and... believing God for His glory... to manifest... in the Body of Christ like never before, how many of you are believing God, for the glory of God to hit your life... this week... I just believe that... and we are so... in agreement... in expectation... for that to take place... in fact, there is a scripture... in Isaiah chapter 55... that talks about how God would revive... and how He would cause a great awakening to take place in the Body of Christ, and so part of... our expectation, it doesn’t really matter when, we just... know that its gonna happen... and we... in any session would be fine, amen... that’s why we can’t afford to... you know, not think that... we don’t have to be in all of the sessions, cos’ you
never know the session that may be the very one... that impacts... your life... we’ve been in meetings like these for years... four, five meetings a day... and I tell you, it’s something about... sitting up under the Word... meeting after meeting, day after day, week long, that has the ability to... impact your life in such a tremendous way... so I know that’s why you’re here this morning, so that you can get a hold of what God has got in store... and part of the... what I wanna share with you this morning is us believing God for the great awakening, us in expectation... for that awakening to take place, not just in our lives, but in the Body of Christ, in this nation... as a whole... because there is not enough just for us to... receive the blessing for ourselves, how many of you know... God wants to reach more than 3% of this nation, with the gospel... and He wants to have a tremendous influence and a tremendous impact in these last days... and so part of the things that... I’ve learned over the last couple of months, is that... the fact that, there was a great revival that took place in California back in the early 1900s... it was prophesied, that that same revival would take place in this time, in the year of 2010... in fact... it was so tremendous, I wanna share some things with you... about what happened... and, so that you can begin to understand how... powerful... God’s Presence can be, when men and women get together in corporate Anointing and corporate faith... and they begin to release... that one accord, and it can make a tremendous impact in the lives... of people... and so... you know, a hundred years ago there was a revival, even in Wales... how many of you have heard of that... but we’ve seen only small outbreaks of revival in Britain since then... do you wonder why... this country has not seen a major revival... for over a 100 years... and there are 8 things that I wanna share with you... some things that you can begin to pray about, in your own personal life, some things that can begin to... judge as it relates to... your own walk with God, your devotion time with Him... so that you won’t be on the outside... but you can be right... in the middle... where the glory of God hits... that you’re not just a... spectator, but you are a participator... and so I’m just believing... like I said, that that same Power would begin... to be evident... in our lives on a regular... regular basis...
Back in the early 1900s, there was an Azusa revival that took place in California... and it was a hands on workshop for the miraculous... and it was led by God Himself... God uses even great revival to launch the ministries of great men like John G. Lake and... C.W. Ward... and many other great men and women of God, and it wasn’t just... you know, people who were big names... but it was ordinary people... like you and me... who were just... in a position, and as a result, the Power of God got on them and consequently, tremendous things began to take place... and so... there were many teenagers... young people there, how many of you know, it’s time... for a tremendous revival... in the lives of our teens... and our young people... you know the Bible will be... it will give evidence on those things that were prophesied... about our young men, and how they would dream dreams, and see visions, and... and all the things that were spoken in the book of Joel... but there were... many who were used by God... just ordinary... teenagers and young people doing extraordinary things for God... in fact... it records in one of the books how children were up under the pews... and they began to see the glory of God... the shekinah glory... that they began to play with It... it was a mist... when they began to breath, they breathed in the... oxygen, which was like the glory of God, and it caused tremendous things to... take place throughout their physical body! ...think of that! ...imagine that! ...there were gaps in people’s mouths... that... teeth began to... fill in with... there were
rotten teeth... in people’s mouths... and then all of a sudden, the glory of God... hit their mouths, and they began to get a brand new set of teeth... think of that... there was a woman... that it’s even recorded... who was eaten up with cancer, and she could not breathe... because of the cancer that was in her lungs... she had hands laid on her in this service... which was being conducted by... daddy Seymour, as they called him... and immediately, in that service, she began to gain... 40 pounds... over a period of 3 hours... that supernaturally, the Power of God... began to affect her body... she came in 40 pounds lighter and then left! ...with more weight, to the point that she went to the doctor... the doctor didn’t recognise her... because she looked so different... before that, she was very frail... but he knew, he said you’ve been down... to that meeting haven’t you... you’ve been down to that old warehouse... with those Christian people... she said, yes I have... and as he began to check her, and he saw that her lungs were no more filled with cancer, and she has been healed... by the Power of God! ...to such a point where... it made, such an impact on his life... that he went to the meeting... to see what was going on... and then after that, he quit practicing traditional medicine, and began a healing! ...ministry... ...congregation applauds... the Power... of God... and so there’s tremendous Might, and Ability... available... as a result of God’s Presence, that is able... I believe... not just for that time, but even in this time in which... we live...
Brother Seymour insisted that there would be no racial divide... no... segregation in these meetings but... the Power of God was seen for miles... long, that there were people who... got off the trains... and as they got off the trains, they began to fall... under the Power of God, because God’s Presence was so... manifest in those meetings... think about the fact that people... can begin to even... make their plans to begin to come to the Hippodrome this week, because God’s glory! ...is so strong... and they’ll begin to sense it... and it’ll cause them... to repent... and to begin to... change their ways and so that’s what would happen... grand central station talks about it was about a half a mile away... and then people would... get off the train... walk across the platform, fall out in the spirit... speaking in other tongues for the very first time... how many of you know God is still able... our God is not dead... our God is alive... and in 1910 that same... prophecy... there was a prophecy that was given in 1910, and it said that God would visit His people in a 100 years... like He did... in 1910... which leads us to where we are right now... right... on the verge... right on the verge, and I want you to understand where you are in God... and understand the dispensation of God’s glory in these last days... there’re some tremendous things that are going to take place, and I don’t know about you, I’m a believer, I’m believing God... I’m in expectation, for those things that God has said...
Scripture talks about... in 2nd Chronicles chapter 7 verse 14... you can turn there in your Bibles, if you like... very familiar scripture... the King James Version says it like this... if my people... would humble themselves... that’s the key... is walking in humility... if my people would, humble themselves... and pray... and seek His face... and turn from their wicked ways... then He would hear, their prayers...
forgive their sins... and heal... their land... because I know, that God wants to use... each and every one of you... to make a tremendous... impact, and a tremendous influence... in this nation... hearing our prayers... forgiving our sins... and healing... this
where we reside in America, is as a result of the revival that... began over here! (United Kingdom) ...and so, even as Creflo was talking about last night that firstfruit, and... land... think about the fact that...
honouring the Lord, and... the substance! ...and walking in... honour... and the Law... of honour... and as... that honour... was once here, as related to the things of God and... to the Power of God... and God having such an... ability... many, many years back... that seed has been planted here... so we cannot... allow... you know, socialism, and all these other things... to come in and... crowd out... what God began... because, that was a tremendous deposit... that took place... in this nation, that affected so much of the world! ...and so we can’t be complacent and satisfied and say oh well... you know... our nation is going to hell in a hand-basket, absolutely not! ...I believe that God is a God of purpose... and He does things... for a reason... now let’s look at four things... that... are... indicative of the revival... things that were... key points... that took place... there were four... critical keys... that were synonymous of the Azusa revival... in California, back in the early 1900s... as I mentioned in this... previous scripture that we just read, in 2nd Chronicles chapter 4, it talks about humility... that’s number one...
humility...
we must be... a people of...
where we rely... on God... we depend... on Him... we don’t think... more highly, than we ought to think... that we’re submitted to His will concerning... the finances of our life, if He says to tithe... that we don’t think... higher... concerning God’s plan, concerning... how we should govern our finances, but we’re submitted to... tithing... and we’re submitted to... everything that His Word says, concerning how we treat one another... and how His Word should be the final authority in our lives... so, humility... is number one... and even in the... Azusa revival, one of the things that was... very... present here was... the fact that, God used a group of people who were in a warehouse! ...and this gentleman would put... a box... on his head... for hours at a time... and someone... would begin to think, why would someone do that? That was because God told him to do it... something that strange... something that... looked so foolish to people, but yet... miraculous things happened as a result of him willing to... humble himself... and to trust God... and as a result, God was able to deliver so many people... because he walked in... humility... in that warehouse... not a big fancy place... but a place... that God could use... a place where God was able to move... and then people said, what was he doing? He was waiting... and he was meditating... on what the Lord... would tell him to do... he wouldn’t take it off his head, until God told him to take it off his head, and to begin to flow in the spirit... but he was willing to walk in a... level of humility, so you have to begin to look at your life, and... make sure that you are maintaining a spirit of... humility... that means a sense of... lowliness, that you’re not willing to get ahead... of God’s agenda for your life... but you’re willing to take... His Word... one step at a time... knowing that... He has the final say so... so humility, in fact the acronym is H... O... P... E... the first initial `H` meaning humility, the second one meaning obedience...
Obedience was a... critical part... of the revival that took place... in fact... there was a strict... obedience to God’s commands... to walk in the Love... of God... where the Word of God... was concerned... to walk in love! ...we can’t forget about the importance of walking in love towards one another... and to obey those... commands... whatever He tells us to do, that we’re quick... to do it... that we’re quick to... obey... that we’re not too... bright... where we think that we can... not yield... to the spirit of God... when He... tells us to do something, so there was... obedience there... there was order, there was a... command there, to love God with all of... their heart... as we are commanded to love the Lord with all of our heart, and to... love one another... as we love ourselves... so that is what the second... initial `O` stood for...
The third one... is `P` for prayer... prayer...
we must have a life... of
prayer...
we must have a prayer life... we must have a love life, a life of love... a life that... impacts people’s lives, and then we must have a life of prayer... to spend time... with God, on a regular... basis... how many of you know, if you don’t spend any time with God, you’re not gonna know what He wants you to do... we talked about yesterday, one of the reasons why... the Christian fails to win... in challenges and circumstances, because they don’t know what to do! ...and so, we’ve got to equip ourselves through prayer... through spending time with the Word of God... by interceding... by praying in the Holy Ghost, being even filled with the Holy Ghost, and if you’re not filled with the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, you can get filled with the Spirit in this meeting... amen... we need that power... it takes your whole prayer life to a different level, where we can begin to pray in other tongues... and we can pray the mysteries of God... the Bible says that we’re praying answers... that we’re giving thanks, well! ...when we pray in other tongues! ...and so it’s important for us to... have a life... of prayer... men and women gathered for months and years... on their knees, in fervent... revival... imploring God... to renew... to awaken, and to refresh...
And the last... initial... is `E`, which is expectation... that’s why we’ve been talking about, the importance of you having... that expectation for every meeting... when you leave these meetings... expecting God’s Power! ...because that’s the breeding
God cannot... move... in an atmosphere... where there is no expectation... and that doesn’t ground,
for
the
miraculous...
mean, we have to be swinging off the lights... and the chandeliers, but it’s the fact that our faith... is at an all time high... where we’re believing God! ...Lord, I don’t know if You’re gonna do it, when I walk down the door or when I... come into praise service, or... I don’t know when, but I’m in expectation... in a spirit of expectancy... so... the expectations... were very... high... men and women believed in their prayers... they were... persistent in prayer, and they were in one accord... believing that God would hear their prayers, and purity of heart... as they were totally surrendered to His Lordship... they prayed without ceasing, without doubt... they would experience... the desires of their heart...
Azusa was a fore-shadowing of what will come... in these final... days... because how many of you know the Lord is coming back... and I don’t know about you, I wanna be... ready, when He comes back... there’s a lot of things that’s gonna have to take place, in these final days... the Bible talks about how the wealth of the wicked would be transferred into the hands of... the righteous... there’s gonna be a tremendous... powerful thing, that is going to take place... and so we have to begin to... expect those things to take place... and so they... convicted themselves as they... sought God’s face, to turn from any wickedness... that would separate themselves... or prevent them... from seeing God’s best, in areas of... their lives...
Now I wanna share with you some things that... have been noted, as reasons why... or that have prevented the major revivals from taking place in this nation... are you interested in this? ...I just... you know... I have a message prepared and maybe we’ll get to it, I’m not sure, but I really am impressed to share these things with you, because... if nothing else, we can begin to get on one accord and begin to pray, and... be in agreement, and begin to get... the mind of God... and the heart of God... praying people... intercessors... I believe in the power of intercession... and it’s not just... you know, a select group of people, but we as... the Body, we must all begin to intercede, and to begin to pray, amen... well, one of the first reasons... one of the reasons why... it’s been noted that, this country hasn’t seen a major revival... is because of liberalism in the churches... liberalism... and what that means is, most Christians don’t believe the Bible... and many of the things... that... we’re seeing here, are the same things that are in other nations as well, but you know, it’s something about... the fact that,
as Christians, we are to
believe the Bible!
...it just amazes me that you have... people in the church... who think that... they know more than God! ...that they think it’s ok... for a man to be with another man... that a woman is... able to be with another woman! ...and that... you know, the Bible is no longer relevant, and don’t believe... what the Bible talks about... the marriage being for the male and the female! ...and so... you know, as believers, I think I heard Creflo say... we don’t try to change the Word, we let the Word what... change us... so liberalism... is one of the reasons why it’s... preventing... and has prevented certain things because we’ve got to get back to the Bible, and understand that it’s relevant to every area of our lives... it’s not outdated... it’s not ancient... but, this Book is alive! ...it’s the most Living Thing... in our lives...
Number two... the second thing is worldliness... in the churches... because of worldliness in the churches, most Christians don’t believe in holiness... how many of you know... we’ve got to live a holy life! ...we’ve got to be... separated... we’ve got to be sanctified... and God is able to move through a vessel that’s been... sanctified for Him, and set apart... for Him... holiness... it’s time to live a holy life... where we’re not... acting like the world... we don’t think like the world, but our minds are different from the world... we use our bodies... in a way that’s been sanctified for God and separated unto Him,
amen... as His temple, that’s one of the... holdbacks... that’s one of the things that’s prevented revival...
The
third
thing,
let’s
look
at
prayerlessness in the church...
this...
prayerlessness...
the
third
reason...
many don’t believe in the power of
prayer, and we touched on that... where he says if his people... would believe, and... pray and seek His face... and it’s important for us to... not be people of prayerlessness and... there’s power! ...in prayer... power that is dynamic, the scripture says... in it’s working, when we fervently... pray... and we have confidence in our prayers... how many of you know, prayer is not a monologue, it’s a dialogue... us communicating with God, and more importantly Him communicating with us... it’s an exchange... it’s... the time, when we can begin to... get to know Him... you know with any... successful relationship... you have to spend time together... and so it is, through prayer, that we spend time with God, to develop... intimacy with Him... spending time with His Word... spending time meditating... and those things... would enable us to... have a life of power! ...let’s look at the fourth... reason...
Universalism... universalism in the church is one of the things that have kept back... and has been... an indication... for the hindrance for the revival... continuing... most Christians don’t believe hell exists! ...and the lights said amen! ...we’ve got... to begin to understand that there is a hell, and there is a heaven... there was a teaching... that... Creflo did... back in... December 31st of last year... a dramatic illustration... for our church... talked about hell, and how... hell was real... he did this... drama skip... was powerful... showing how demons... drag people to hell, and... you know... it no longer becomes a decision, that you can make after... you’ve died... but you have to make the decision in this body, and if you don’t... make Jesus Lord, then obviously, you go to hell, but... it’s amazing how much flak... and how much people had problems with that... broadcast... airing in different... nations... and different markets, and different cities... because people don’t believe! ...in hell... how many of you... know that the devil doesn’t want you... to know that, there is a hell that exists... but he wants us to just get caught up... in the here and in the now... and to get us caught up, in the things of this world... and so we can’t allow, the spirit of universalism, the spirit of the world, the spirit... of the antichrist, all those things, to cause us, not to begin to get... in the position where God’s power is able to make a tremendous difference in our lives, and... and to cause the revival, and the awakening that He wants to... see evident in these last days... let me give you another one, number five...
Because of complacency in the church,
this is another reason... pastor Linda and I were talking yesterday and... we were talking about... the... fact that... so many times... there is a small percentage of believers here, and I was asking that... well, what is the culture like? ...why is it... you know, as it is... she said, a lot of people just spend time on Sundays... doing other things... they just don’t see the
importance of... you know, going to church and... our nation (USA) is... more religious in terms of... on Sunday that’s... a large part of what people do... even though, you know... every day, there is that attack to... no longer become a Christian nation, but we’ve got to come against that spirit of complacency... in the church... where people, don’t believe they need reviving... they don’t need awakening... they don’t need God... and one of the things I mentioned yesterday, is the fact that... God is a tremendous factor, and we cannot allow... Him... not having any place... and... we can’t let everything else crowd out the Word of God in other words... we have to allow... God’s Word... to be the final authority in our lives... and we would structure everything else around the Word... structure our schedule... structure our time... around Him! ...and not to become... complacent... and not to become... affected by, all the different things that the world says is ok...
Number six... think of this, because of...
unwillingness to accept
responsibility in the churches... most Christians don’t... believe the state of the country is their responsibility... how many of you know... we have impact... we have the ability... to... influence... and as believers, it’s our responsibility to pray... for our nations... to pray for our leaders, to pray for... our men and women of God... to pray for the Body of Christ... to pray for the members of the Body... and so we have... to begin to understand that each and every one of have to take on that... responsibility...
Number seven... because of faithlessness... in churches... most Christians don’t believe they can pray down... an awakening... we’ve got to begin to know... that we have faith... and our faith, can bring forth tremendous results in our lives... faithlessness...
Number eight... because of laziness in the church... most Christians... aren’t willing to pay the price... how many of you know... the Bible talks about how the diligent... will be rewarded... the diligent... thank God for your diligence this morning, but continue to be diligent... day in and day out... you can’t afford to be lazy, and be slothful, and... be in greasy grace and... sloppy agape, and... but
let’s be diligent about the things of God,
amen... let’s be faithful people, not... faithless people... let’s be prayerful people... not people... who are prayerless...
So the tragedy is that... the longer we go on without revival... or without an awakening... the worse the church can become and... the worse... a nation can become and the more difficult... it
becomes... to pray, and to have... a true awakening... so I’m just believing... that we’re gonna be doing our part... to bring forth... the... solution, so I want us to... spend some time if... you don’t mind, pastor this morning... some time in prayer and just make some confessions, is that ok? ...Is that alright this morning? ...I believe... that great things happen, when men and women pray... I believe in the power of prayer, I believe in the power of your prayers, with the streams connecting, and... the rivers and, everything going together... how many of you know, we can begin to... create an ocean... by the Spirit of God... and it can begin to... make a tremendous impact... and so, we want to pray... this morning... why don’t we spend some time... in... prayer, for just... a few moments... you can stand to your feet... you can remain seated, however you feel comfortable... this morning... it’s up to you... but I just want you to be... in the position of... praying fervently... intensely... knowing that the heavens are open... and that you have direct... impact... into the heavenlies, through the army... of prayer, and... through your faith... and to begin to release that... belief unto God... that God loves to...
we... have a heavenly Father... who longs to fellowship with us... and desires to do a tremendous thing in our lives... even as we desire, how many of you know... how much... more, the heavenly Father desires... to have a great awakening to take place... in Great Britain... in your life... in your family, in your churches... in your home, on your job... that’s the Father’s... desire... that’s the Father’s dream, that’s His... agenda... hear your prayers, and He longs to hear our voice... thank God that
Father, we come before You right now Lord... we lift up our hearts, we lift up our hands, we thank You... we thank You Father for that which You’ve began, we know that You will complete it... You are the Author and the Finisher... of our faith... and Lord, we know... that You are a God... Who is moved by Your Word today... so Father, we thank You that as we... speak Your Word... that it will not return unto You... void... but it will accomplish... that which you’ve sent it forth to accomplish today... Father, our hope is in You! ...we thank You that our expectation, will not be cut off... we will obey Your Word Lord... we thank You that as You look down from heaven today, You’ll see a people of obedience... people who are willing to obey You at all costs... Father, we thank You... right now, in Jesus Name Lord... that gives us the blood-bought right to come into Your Presence, through and by the precious blood of Jesus to... have answers to our prayers... to be born again... to have a born again spirit... to be cleansed today, as the righteousness of God... holy! ...cleansed! ...pure! ...thank You Father! ...we are sanctified! ...we are set apart! ...meet for Your use Lord... halleluyah... thank You Lord... ...Pastor Taffi and congregation praying in the Spirit... we’re believing for Your glory Lord! ...speaking in tongues... ...even as You visited the people of old Lord, we thank You that You’ll visit us, Lord...
...speaking in tongues... thank You Father that You hear every prayer... that there are expectations Father, before You... ...praying in tongues for a protracted period of time (about 25mins)...

“...You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavour? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world-like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father...” – Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:13 – 16) New Living Translation
