ARGENTINA 2008 – How do you birth a revival?

Published by

Español: ARGENTINA 2008 – ¿Cómo naciste un avivamiento? It was now five years after receiving three Heavenly Visitations (read here and here) in which the Angel of the Lord had said “I want my Argentinian Revival to move north, the Resistencia Fountain open!” I desperately wanted to give to the Lord what He desired. He wanted it; I wanted to give it to Him, but how? The answer is both profound and extremely simple: “My Father is working until now and I myself am working.” (John 5:17) “Whatever the Father does these things the Son also does in like manner.” (John 5:19c) How do you birth a revival? You see and you obey. I attended a retreat weekend at Saskatchewan Beach when I was 19 years old, in 1973. A 21 year old, named John, spoke a word of God to me (prophesied). He said, “You are like a young child that lets go of his father’s hand and runs ahead and falls down scraping his knee. Then the father comes and picks you up …

2003 – La Tercera Visita Celestial

Published by

English Version: 2003 – The Third Heavenly Visitation Después de haber conocido al ángel ( Conquer ) predicador en la primera visita y conquistar en la segunda visita, mi expectativa era que la tercera visita sería similar. Pero no lo fué. Fué mayor en poder y me encontré con un ángel, o alguien de un orden superior que cambió mi destino. Aproximadamente dos semanas después de la visita de Conquer, me desperte en la noche con un poder en mi habitación tan grandioso que me sobresalté de inmediato y comencé a reprender a este ser ” En el nombre de Jes … “ Iba a mandar a éste que saliera de mi habitación. En la mitad de la frase, cerré la boca, metí la cabeza debajo de las sábanas y dije: “Lo siento, ¿qué quieres?” No sé si esto fue el Señor o el Ángel del Señor, pero la respuesta inmediata fue: “¡QUIERO QUE MI RECURSO ARGENTINO SE MUEVA AL NORTE!” Intento en situaciones como esta hacer al menos una pregunta inteligente y por eso …

2003 – The Third Heavenly Visitation

Published by

Español: 2003 – La Tercera Visita Celestial After having met the angel Preacher in the First Visitation and Conquer in the Second Visitation my expectation was that the Third Visitation would be similar. It was not. It was greater in power and I encountered an angel, or someone of a higher order that changed my destiny. About two weeks after Conquer had visited I was awakened in the night with a power in my room so great that I was immediately startled and started to rebuke this being “In Jesus na……”. I was going to command this one to get out of my room. Mid-sentence I shut my mouth, put my head under the covers and said “I’m sorry, what do you want?” I do not know if this was the Lord or the Angel of the Lord but the immediate response was “I WANT MY ARGENTINIAN REVIVAL TO MOVE NORTH!” I try in situations like this to get out at least one intelligent question and so I said “Why?” The answer was “They have …

How the 1948 North Battleford revival impacted the church

Published by

Canada has been home to two significant revivals in the past 100 years the more recent being the Toronto Blessing that started in January 1994 and a revival that hit North Battleford, Saskatchewan in 1948. The latter was a bit different from the other revivals that hit North America in the 20th century. The Azusa street revival that set the stage for the modern-day Pentecostal movement started in 1906 in Los Angeles. Both Toronto and Los Angeles were major urban centers of their day and as a result impacted significant numbers of people. But North Battleford was different. Located in an obscure province in Canada and at the time an equally obscure town in the northern part of that province. It was not easy place to visit. To get there you headed to the middle of nowhere. Once you get arrived, you then traveled 200 miles north. Nevertheless, it had a profound impact on modern charismatic Christianity. With this being the 70th anniversary of the revival, many prophetic voices believe something significant is going to …
