The Vision of Revival Fires, Int’l.:
We are passionate about God’s people knowing the Lord Jesus by personal experience, as He manifests His glorious Presence and reveals Himself to them.
“But we all, with open face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Cor.3:18)
Fueled by love and zeal for our Lord Jesus, we endeavor to bring many sons and daughters into an intimate relationship with Him, and develop them into the full stature (maturity) of Christ.
“For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory…” (Heb. 2:10)
“until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.” (Eph. 4:13)
Our Ministry:
Presence of God Ministry: Our ministry can best be described as a “Presence of God” ministry. As God’s people are taught to worship Him in spirit and in truth, they can experience His wonderful Presence as He manifests His Person to them. Tears will flood their faces, and their hearts will melt with brokenness of love and surrender that God so longs for in His children. Countless individuals around the world have been healed, restored, delivered and transformed during these moments when they experience this very real and tangible relationship with God. There are no words to describe the awesome wonder of this place of intimacy, where the Father shares things with His children that He will not reveal to them in the outer courts. In this heavenly atmosphere, a love, surrender and longing after God is created in people’s hearts.
In contrast, when God’s people are brought into high praises, they can experience triumphant spiritual warfare with victories as they break through into the realm of faith, charging into spiritual battle against the fortifications of the enemy. (This is described in the Old Testament, during the time of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20:21,22.)
Spiritual Fathers: God has given us to be spiritual fathers in His kingdom. Many of God’s people eager to be mentored and nourished in the ways of the Holy Spirit and revival, as they feel inexperienced and alone. There is a seeking to shelter themselves under men and women who have this “father’s” anointing and calling on their lives; those who can teach them how to avoid the pitfalls that others have encountered. They are excited to learn how to live victoriously – to overcome -- in spite of past failures.
There is a gravitation to fathers, who can renew their passion in an intimate relationship with God, coming alongside them to impart wisdom and revelation of the Person of God; someone who can also reveal to them the secrets and principles to an effective, powerful and fulfilling ministry.
Our Mission:
To fulfill the Great Commission of going into all the world, and preaching the gospel to every creature.
“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16:15)
To train and equip the saints to do the ministry of the Lord.
“For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” (Eph.4:12)
Doctrinal Statement:
- The Bible is the divinely-inspired Word of God, and the truth of God to man (II Timothy 3:16).
- Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary is the incarnate, only-begotten Son of God. There is no other name given under heaven whereby man can be saved (Acts 4:12).
- There is one true God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
- Man was sold into Satan’s bondage through his obedience to the evil one. Jesus Christ, through His own righteousness and obedience, broke the power of the enemy’s bondage over mankind, then He became a Redeemer by dying on the cross and shedding His precious blood as the ransom price for sinners (Acts 20:28), that whosoever would believe in Him would have everlasting life (John 3:16). Jesus Christ after tasting death for all men (Hebrews 2:9) was raised eternally and victoriously on the third day (I Corinthians 15:3-4).
- Jesus promised to give His followers the Holy Spirit, who would divinely empower them to fulfill the Great Commission on earth and be witnesses, beginning at home and reaching unto the uttermost parts of the earth (Luke 24:28; Acts 1:8).
- God’s will is the sanctification of His followers. We, as His followers, are to endeavor to allow the indwelling Holy Spirit to live through us a life that is holy and pure in every way even as it was with Jesus, knowing we shall be rewarded and judged according to the deeds done in the flesh (Hebrews 12:14; Matthew 16:27).
- It is appointed unto man once to die, and after that the judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
- Jesus ascended into Heaven from the Mount of Olives. His disciples were witnesses to this. Jesus shall also return in like manner (Acts 1:11) and every eye shall see Him (Revelation 1:7). Those who rejected Him and pierced Him through shall mourn because of their rejection of Him (Zechariah 12:10). Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord to the glory of God. (Philippians 2:10-11)
- The Heavenly Jerusalem, the city of God, shall descend out of heaven and fill the new Earth and the new Heavens with the glory of God. (Revelation 21:1-2, 10)
- The saints and faithful shall reign and live with Him (Revelation 22:5). All evil shall be destroyed by the brightness of His coming (II Thessalonians 2:8). The kingdoms of this Earth shall become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ. Of His kingdom there shall be no end (Revelation 11:5; Luke 1:33).
