Many times, in the Jewish scriptures; the “cessation” and paucity of the manifestation of the Spirit and His Power was seen as a sign/proof that God’s people are backslidden.
Think about and what it means for your theological position on the charismata.
@windscribe, your service is quite helpul. funny how I have to make a tweet here which I haven't done in years, just for additional 5GB 😂. But thank you.
If you find a believer or a minister who used to be active for the Lord and stop being active because he fell into sin, the problem isn't the sin, it is the people around him; they are carnal. Spiritual people RESTORE! Meaning, we get our groove back!!
Biblical revival plants new local churches and strengthens existing local churches. "Revival" of telegram groups, WhatsApp groups, etc unaffiliated with any local church but rather competing with local churches for the attention of church folks is a dire error.
We are already seeing the consequences.
Declare with me:
"I believe; therefore, I speak!"
"I am righteous!"
"I am safe and kept by the power of God!"
"No disaster, no misfortune, no accidents around me.”
"I walk in dominion and victory, always!"
“I say of the Lord, He is my refuge.”
“I am blessed, I am preserved, I am empowered.”
“My steps are ordered by the Lord. I am favored.”
“I have the gift of arriving on time!"
"I am safe on land, in the air, and in the sea!"
Glory to God!
All the joys and sorrows we show towards earthly success, entertainment and ephemerals must be equally experienced and even superseded towards spirituals and God's kingdom.
Otherwise, our Christianity is still in the head, it hasn't arrived in our hearts.
The rigors of ministry will easily wear you out when it is done without the fuel of basic Christianity. Live the gospel as much as you preach the gospel.
Hearts burning for Jesus
God's called family
Walking in His stead
Standing in the gap for lost men
God's assembly
God's gathering
We've been called out to pray.

Simple Advice
Your Pastor shouldn't be one you always struggle to impress:
Hiding your weak moments or avoiding him/her in such moments
Your Pastor should be your encourager, inspirator, motivator
Not the person you shut out in "down moments" trying to be strong on your own
Even the company of saints you belong to should be well utilized in this regard. Selah

Those who disregarded the ministry of Jesus in the four gospels claimed they were defending the ministry of Moses. To disclaim todays men, just claim to uphold the “apostles doctrine”.
Eventually,Every generation has its own version of scorners.
The emphasis of the Bible hasn't changed and will never change, no matter the century or age.
It is Salvation through faith in Christ Jesus
