  THE REVIVAL WE NEED

By Terry Somerville

The desire for revival is at an all time high. There have been many prophecies about a coming move of God that will eclipse all previous ones. Most discussions revolve around the glory and presence of God moving in the land.

Though much is being said and done, it seems to be mostly prophetic activity. The one basic ingredient that is lacking, and seldom spoken of, is true repentance. This requires a total breaking down of the heart, otherwise we naturally go along in "Christian selfishness", with all our activity oriented to ourselves.

  WHEN IS A REVIVAL AT HAND

By Charles G. Finney
Edited and paraphrased by Terry Somerville

1. When the providence of God indicates a revival is at hand.... There is a conspiring of events to open the way, a preparation of circumstances to favor a revival... careful observers felt no hesitation in saying that God was coming to pour out His Spirit and grant a revival...

  BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT & FIRE

By Terry Somerville

Matt. 3:11 "I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

  REDEEMING THE LAND

Lev 18:24 "Do not defile yourselves by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am casting out before you defiled themselves; 25 and the land became defiled, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But you shall keep my statutes and my ordinances and do none of these abominations, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you 27 (for all of these abominations the men of the land did, who were before you, so that the land became defiled); 28 lest the land vomit you out, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

  REPENTANCE, RESTORATION, REVIVAL

By Terry Somerville

A Paper on The Restoration of God's Purpose, God's People and God's Power in The Church.

INTRODUCTION 
      
     It has been supposed by many that the church of Laodicea in the book of Revelation represents the church in our own age.

     "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would  thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art luke warm and neither cold not hot I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable, and poor , and blind, and naked:" Rev. 3:15-17

  PREPARE FOR REVIVAL

A study of Nehemiah
by Terry Somerville

We begin by looking into the book of Nehemiah for clues to God’s ways of restoration.

The Jews were in captivity but a remnant had been allowed to live in Jerusalem. This is a picture of the western church. Nehemiah was a Jew who was cup bearer to King Artaxerxes. Beginning at chapter 1 we are looking for parallels to our situation and the Godly strategies of restoration Nehemiah used.
