Revival

Few of us know what we want to be at the age of 9, but evangelist Reinhard Bonnke is one of the exceptions. The German evangelist, who has preached in front of crowds exceeding 1.6 million in Africa, says it was at that tender age that he got his calling to be a missionary. Now,

I was in major need of revival by the age of 19. I was the backslidden grandson of a fiery tent-preaching revivalist. I had spent a great deal of my life in the church but was now running fast into the world. I was a gifted hypocrite who played the part on Sunday but did

In May 2012, I heard the voice of the Lord say to me, “Pat, I am looking for the remnant rising!” This coincided with the fact that I had many dreams over the previous two years of an awakening coming to America. In one particular dream, I was in an old diner, sitting in a

Could the world experience a second Pentecost? That’s the hope of a global movement called Empowered 21, with organizers setting their sights on Jerusalem, where the first Pentecost took place. Recently, Christian leaders came from around the world to Jerusalem to worship, pray and plan for what they call E21. “It’s amazing to see how

Watch a CBN report on the amazing revival in Iran that is seeing countless Muslims become followers of Jesus.  

I’ve got this, I confidently thought as I entered the television studio one Friday in March 2013. In just a couple hours, I would host an interview with evangelist Steve Hill, renowned for his impact upon millions during the Brownsville Revival. At this time, Steve was just a few months out of a virtual coma

I count it an extreme honor to have served alongside Steve for the past decade. It was in 1996 that my life was forever changed as a result of the Brownsville Revival. I didn’t know then just how much of a role the evangelist at the revival would play in my life. Since that time, he’s been a mentor, a

Editor’s note: Sunday, March 9, Steve finished his race. Oh, to have seen that moment when he saw Jesus for the very first time and heard Him say, “Well done.” He lived every day of his life for that moment. It is truly fitting that we would post this article of his this week as we celebrate

During my time at the revival at Brownsville, it was not uncommon to find me out at a remote part of Pensacola Beach with a longboard, looking to catch a few waves between school and services. If you live on the West Coast, I know the Gulf isn’t Mavericks. On a good day, you might

What will it take to bring true revival in the church and throughout our nation? Watch evangelist Pat Schatzline offer a forecast for revival at a Planetshakers conference.  

Although William J. Seymour is acknowledged as the leader of the Azusa Street Revival, it was a black woman, Lucy Farrow, who provided the initial spark that ignited that revival. No one associated with the little prayer meeting led by Seymour had spoken in tongues until Farrow, at Seymour’s request, arrived on the scene and

The moment I stepped through the doors, I felt a powerful shift. I had just walked more than a mile in the below-freezing weather and entered into what I can only describe as a sacred place—the church on Attwell Drive in Toronto, home of the Toronto Blessing. The room was abuzz with expectation, the atmosphere

For many years, I have told students in our ministry school that the greatest challenge they will face is not learning to teach or preach well or to administrate or evangelize or walk in the Spirit’s power or raise funds or whatever else is needed for effective ministry. Instead, the greatest challenge for those of

Delaware is considered the sixth most dangerous state in America by the FBI statistics for rape, robbery, murder and aggravated assault. In Delaware, the city of Wilmington is the crime leader and considered one of the most (if not the most) violent cities in the United States for its size (71,000). Judy Johnson Park is

It normally takes a lot to move Skúli Barker to tears. But what he witnessed on Sunday night in his country? He’ll be the first to tell you that simply doesn’t happen in Iceland. “My wife was sobbing next to me,” Skúli says. “And I started to cry. It’s just amazing.” It started off as a
