The Recipe for Revival - PT4

Writer's picture: Lucas SantanaLucas Santana

Why Does the Church need revival? As a whole, the church,aka Body of Christ can become stale, complacent, dry, and stagnant. It needs a Spiritual Awakening which can only be done by a move of God that will bring about change, and not just an emotional experience or feeling. Yes, we are emotional beings and our emotions will be touched. We may have an experience, too. BUT, A TRUE MOVE OF THE SPIRIT WILL DO MANY THINGS, BUT MOST OF ALL, BRING ABOUT CHANGE IN OUR PERSONAL WALK and lives. Also: Inwardly/personally and collectively as a church body.


From an article in the Gardian News paper, titled:"Losing their Religion. Why US churches are on the decline." The publisher Date was 1/22/2023.

"Churches are closing at rapid numbers in the United States. As congregations dwindle across the country, a younger generation of Americans are abandoning Christianity all together. As the United States continue to adjust to an increasingly "non religious population", thousands of churches are closing each year, all over the county. A figure that experts believed happened since the beggining of the covid pandemic(scam-demic). The situation meant some hard decisions for some Pastors who had to decide when a dwindling congregation is no longer sustainable". But it also created a boom market for those wanting to buy church buildings, with former houses of worship finding new life".

This is all I will read from that article. The fact that so many churches complied and shut down during the covid "PLAN-DEMIC" is because they didn't know this was an attack from the pits of hell. A bio-engineered virus through gain of funtion, weaponized against the people of the world. Which Dr. Fauci denied, W.H.O. denied, N.I.H, and CDC denied, along with Governments of the world, and the lapdog, puppet media and social media who was signed onto this agenda. After almost 4 years of denial from them all, they began to acknowledge it was gain of function, it was created in a lab, it was funded and made in China.


I didn't mean to go to far off down that beaten path but, C-19 was a highly coordinated and planned attack against humanity which affected every way of life. And when Big Government said shut down the church, and limit the size, the church bowed down and complied, Worldwide. No discernment. No seeking God and reference to scripture on what was launched against the church. The Body of Christ "collectively" sat down and spiritually could not see what was happening except for the remnant group of believers in the body of Christ. Meanwhile stripclubs and liquor stores were deemed as essential in primarily blue, democratic controlled cities.


A survey was also taken by The American Culture of Faith Institute. They did a survey on 10s of thousands of churches. The survey asked basic questions such as: "Did Jesus live a sinless life"? Or "Is Satan real or imagined"? 70% of the churches surveyed said they did not believe in the Bibles most simplest or basic doctrines. That brought it down to 100,000 churches that said "we do believe in these basic, docrinal truths".From out Of the 100,000 Pastors left, only 2% said they would teach these basic Doctrinal truths. You have so called churches allowing drag shows and so called preachers teaching homosexualality is ok. Then you have some big name preachers who can't even determine by the scripture if LGBT-qxyz lifestyle is wrong. In so many areas, the church collectively has lost its way, while the remnant of the body of Christ remains, who stands on the word of God and live by it.

Ist Peter 4:17 says "For the time will come when judgement must begin at the House of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God"?

Time is getting short. This is why the Church, aka the Body of Christ needs Revival!


Blessings in Jesus name,
