Revival?

I do not buy into the "feathers" falling from heaven. I do not buy into the "gold dust" falling from heaven. I do not buy into the "gems" appearing from heaven scams.

Not in any account of past revivals do we hear of or read of these kinds of things ever happening. I believe because of the corruption and the quest for money and attention some of the leadership of Churches resorts to these gimmicks to generate interest and excitement.

These things are not a move of God. The lack of a true Repentance message in the meetings where these things are supposedly taking place is appalling to me. The Finneys, the Wesleys and the Whitefields of old never have resorted to these carnal fleshly deceptions for attention.

 “For certain persons have crept in unnoticed …
ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness
and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ” (Jude 4, NASB).
Paul also warned that people will demand false teachers to fulfill
their lusts, and that those teachers will “turn away their ears from
the truth” (2 Tim. 4:3-4). Those ancient words are painfully relevant today.

If we don’t apply discernment in this vulnerable hour, impostors
will sneak into the church and unleash their doctrines—with
deadly results. Please don’t be duped by counterfeits.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into
the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but
there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of
Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let
him be accursed” (Galatians 1:6-8).

This “other gospel” that Paul mentions is a message of salvation
without the cross. The great idolatry of our day is the casting aside
of the message of the cross of Jesus Christ.

The cross — including its demands and hopes — is the very heart
of the gospel. Any worship, any fellowship, anything calling itself
church is blatant idolatry if the cross is not at its center. Such
worship is of another spirit entirely and God will have nothing to
do with it. Without the cross, all that is left is chaff — a perverted
gospel, something from the pit of hell. It is more insulting to the
Lord than the idolatry of Israel.

Feathers do not ever fall from heaven, it is an impossibility! But angels do appear to men...

The Christmas narrative tells of an angel coming to some shepherds and sharing the Good News of a Savior being born. The shepherds heard the message, went to see the baby, then told everyone about Him. We too must hear the gospel message afresh and renew our astonishment at what Jesus has done. We will see the power of the gospel to miraculously change lives, and we'll be so astounded that we can't help but tell people about it.
