The Heart of Revival Culture IS…
This will be short, because it’s actually very simple.
What is the Heart of the new and modern Revival Culture?
Simple.
Presence.
God’s Presence.
Manifest Presence.
Jesus.
King Jesus, King of Glory.
Manifest Presence of Holy Ghost.
Tabernacle.
Dwelling Place.
Father encounter.
EMPTY NOISE WITHOUT PRESENCE
Revivalists and Revival Culture is nothing without the living, active, present, interactive, 24/7, constant ABIDING and MANIFEST PRESENCE of GOD.
Yes, it’s experiential.
Yes, it’s ‘Pentecostal’ in nature.
Yes, it’s palpable and He makes Himself known physically.
Yes, it moves in the supernatural and outside the ‘intellectual church’ of the last few centuries.
Yes, it’s founded on the full revelation and connection with the Holy Scriptures.
Yes, it’s expressed and explored in long, energetic, engaged gatherings of worship, adoration and abandonment.
Yes, it’s all about our YES to the High King and Holy God.
Yes, it’s about holiness and obedience.
Yes, it’s about Ekklesia and community.
Yes, it reaches into the history and unity of one, holy, apostolic and ‘catholic’ church.
Yes, it’s loud and messy and ever-moving.
BUT, the lynch-pin, the nuclear reactor, the beating heart and blood, the life-energy and breath, the existence and substance IS GOD. His Presence. His dwelling with us.
There’s a common saying in our Revival Culture: “if God doesn’t show up, ain’t nothin’ gonna come of it.”
It’s all empty noise without His Manifest Presence.
TAKE-AWAY: Recipe for Being in His Presence:
Hunger.
Individual Hunger.
Many individuals getting Hungry.
Hunger for More of Him.
Secret place.
Prayer, seeking, connecting.
Confess, repent, forgive.
Surrender.
“Yes” before He asks.
Gather together.
Worship.
Yield.
Thanksgiving.
Praise.
High Praise.
He enters the room.
Respond to Holy Ghost.
Feast.
Abide.
Dwell.
On earth as it is in Heaven.

The Lord has brought you far my friend. You and your sweet talented wife that is! Not all stay the course! Not all walk the road seeking and searching for the lost! Not all are so focused that a morsel isn’t enough. Not all possess a hunger for more of him, an insatiable appetite for His overwhelming presence! I love what you have presented here.. Only a seeker of the highest calling (one who dines with the King) could ever pen such truth! We thank you for following “The road less traveled!” Love Mike and Lorna ✝️❤️
Thank you for the comment, Mike and Lorna! Ones who dine with the King indeed.
