Tabernacle Keys Revival - Fire and Ice Ministries River of Life ...

Introduction:
Where’s Revival?
As I look across America, I see thousands upon thousands of churches. It is
interesting to me that there are so many churches and so little revival. Many
churches have great speaking, talented music, and the décor is incredible,
but you will never see people getting right with God! There is no preaching
against sin for them to do so. Some other things you won’t see are people
being healed and delivered of demons in these churches. Also, where are
the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit in many churches across this nation?
Bottom line, we are missing it somewhere. The church, overall, is not doing
ministry the way Jesus did it, and he is our example.
I look at the lack of power and fruit in the churches across America and the
rest of the world, and wonder why people are so content with things the way
they are. People act like nothing is wrong, even though no one is ever get­
ting saved, nor is the power of God in their midst! Then if someone does
come along and do things differently, they are persecuted! Now that is
amazing to me. The way the current church operates is ineffective for the
kingdom of God, and when someone does things differently, to at least try to
see better results, they are persecuted for it.
Well, despite the persecution I am sure is on the way for me, I am putting
together a book that will take a look at the pattern God has established for
revival. Someone may argue that there is no pattern. Of course, they won’t
be able to back up that argument with scripture, but I will address that
statement anyway. The Tabernacle of Moses was a dwelling place for God’s
manifest presence. Revival is simply people coming into the manifest pres­
ence of God. God showed how to get into his manifest presence through the
Tabernacle. So this is the premise for this book.
I hope to lay a foundation that will stir the church up to change. I have seen
awesome moves of God’s Spirit in ministry. There was a two­year revival
God gave me in a home for teenagers where I went to speak. I heard from
God about going and simply called the place. The leaders called me back
and asked me to come and speak. Two years later there were hundreds that
had gotten right with God, many healings, very many were delivered, and
many baptized in the Holy Spirit and fire. It was an awesome time. I remem­
ber a service when the entire congregation was under the power of God, and
I didn’t know what else to do. I was the only person in the building still stand­
ing! So I sat in a pew and waited for someone to get up! Then I prayed for
them again, and out they went. It was an incredible time. I remember a
young lady shaking on the floor and another girl came running up to me. The
girl that ran up to me didn’t know it was the power of God making the other
girl shake. She thought I needed to call 911! I thought it was cute and ex­
